Friday Gaming Update

Lots of exiting releases the last couple of weeks, especially if you’re a handheld gamer.
Patapon: If you haven’t already picked up this game and you have a PSP, go out and get it RIGHT NOW. It’s hard to explain in a short blurb, but this strategy/rhythm/action game is amazingly addictive and deeply satisfying. I can’t seem to put it down, and I’m guessing you might end up feeling the same way. If I haven’t convinced you, there’s a free demo available at the Playstation Network store, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
God of War: Chains of Olympus: The reviews are in, and they’re overwhelmingly positive. If you’re a fan of the console action series, you can now continue the adventure on your PSP.If you don’t have a PSP yet, there’s also a special Godof War bundle that includes a red PSP and a copy of the game.
Space Invaders Extreme: The game isn’t due until mid-June, but I’m already very excited about this title, thanks to the demo available now at PSP Fanboy.The music is awesome, and the gameplay is modern and cool while staying true to the original . Expect to face new challenges (including boss fights!), plus integration of cool gameplay elements from other arcade classics like Galaga and Breakout.
Flow: PS3 owners have been playing Flow for quite a while, but it was just released on the Playstation Network store yesterday for PSP owners. The concept is cool, and good for those mellow times that you’d like some entertainment but don’t really want to work yourself up to play a “real” game. I haven’t spent too much time with it yet, but it has a nicely calm and ethereal atmosphere.
Disney Friends: I spent some time with this Nintendo DS demo at my local game store and like the exploration aspects and the gameply variety. This title should be fun for the younger set; think of a cross between Animal Crossing and Nintendogs, but with a Disney state of mind.
