Phantasy Star Portable 2 is a multiplayer RPG that runs on the PSP. Players will be able to link up with other players via ad-hoc to take on missions together. Unlike Monster Hunter, PSP2 contains a storyline of its own, including storyline characters that the player teams up with throughout the story. Rather than explanation in words, this video will provide a better picture of the game.
Basically, you had to choose a race for your character from the start. The four races available are Human, Newman (something like Elfs), Cast (Androids) or Beastman. Beastman excels in melee weapons, Casts have an advantage in using ranged weapons such as rifles, Newman can fully utilise the potential of magic and as for Human, they're more of an average character to use.
After customising your characters from a wide variety of faces, hairstyle, clothings etc, you'll then get the choice of choosing the class for your character. You'll be able to choose from:
Hunter - Strong in melee-based techniques
Ranger - Strong in gun-based techniques
Force - Strong in magic
Braver - Average in all 3 types of attacking
Besides customisation of your character's look, you will be able to customise your own room in the game as well, with room designs to choose from, furnitures, posters and decorations. You can also customise your class with extend points to use better weapons or weapons of other types.
The game itself also features collaboration with several companies. These includes:
Asuka's, Rei's and Shinji's plugsuits from Evangelion
Archer's weapon and outfit from Fate/Stay Night
(There's supposedly Saber's outfit and Excalibur but I haven't got those yet)
Hatsune Miku!
Collaborations with the following are also included (but I've yet to attain these):
- MxO
- Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
- Hoshin Engi
- Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar
- Shaman King
- To-Love Ru
- Pizza Hut (the uniform and pizza as weapons?!)
- Dokodemo Issho
- Valkyria Chronicles
Last but not least, these are some of the main characters in the storyline, some of which had popular voice actors such as Jun Fukuyama, Paku Romi, Seki Tomokazu, Rei Tanaka etc. (The following description are taken from Wiki)
Emilia Percival
Emilia Percival is a 16 year old human girl belonging to Little Wing. She's a little naive and known to be somewhat lazy. Despite bungling her first job with Little Wing, she became fully involved with the group before she knew it. She doesn't talk about her past, and there seem to be no records of it, either. Her voice actress is Chiwa Saitou.Yuto Jun Junkers
Yuto is a 15 year old newman boy living on Moatoob. He belongs to the Kashu family, and possesses an excellent 'photon sense'. Due to his secluded upbringing, he's a bit lacking in common sense. He meets Emilia and her group while they are on duty, and from then on joins them. His favorite food is pudding. He is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.Crouch Muller
Crouch is a 34 year old beast male. He's the man in charge of Little Wing and is responsible for keeping an eye on Emilia, something he doesn't appear to take very seriously. He used to be part of the police force in the past, but he already quit due to the loss of his family. His voice actor is Keiji Fujiwara.Ursula Rolan
Ursula is a 32-year old newman woman who possesses both beauty and brains, being talented in several fields. She's a workaholic with little time for her private life. She knew Crouch and Chelsea before Little Wing was created. Her signature weapon is a whip. Her voice actress is Atsuko Tanaka.Chelsea
Chelsea is a female CAST whose age is given only as 'SE-CR-ET♪'. She is the receptionist for Little Wing and handles the management of the organization. She works hard, but her odd speech pattern sometimes makes it hard to understand her. She's like a big sister to Emilia. Her voice actress is Haruka Tomatsu.Lumia Weber
Ethan's sister from the earlier Phantasy Star series. She finally became a Guardian. Her voice actress is Ayako Kawasumi.Mika
A human from the "Ancint Civilisation" that is wiped out ages ago. She's currently living within Emilia. Her voice actress is Sayaka Oohara.Shizuru
The character that is voice acted by Jun Fukuyama! He's the main antagonist of the game. Because he's possessed by the king from the "Ancient Civilisation", he displays two personality in the game. Jun Fukuyama uses both the Lelouch voice and the Zero voice to act out both personalities perfectly...there're even scenes whereby the two personalities are communicating with each other and it's pretty hard to tell that the two voices are actually from the same person.

System:PCSubmitted by: Brandon (VG. Dept Head)Genre: MMORTSCCG (Massively Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy Collectable Card Game)Battleforge is a free to play game that attempts to blend the genres of Real Time Strategy (RTS), Collectable Card Games (CCG) with a little Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) thrown in. This combination of the strategic aspects found in RTS games with the flexibility and high-levels of customization allowed in CCGs blend together quite well, resulting in a game that is greater than the sum of its parts.OverviewIn Battleforge, you have the ability to summon and control an army of powerful creatures to do battle with. The twist is that these creatures are summoned not from buildings, like in most other RTS games, but from cards in your deck. As a result, you do not have a base to operate out of. Instead you can spawn your units anywhere on the field; this means...
