Valkyria Chronicles Could Return To PS3
The announcement of Valkyria Chronicles 2 was exciting for die-hard fans of the series. Now they'll have to get used to playing it on the go, however. The much-welcomed sequel is moving to Sony's PSP system, but it may not remain there forever.
SEGA's Aaron Webber suggested on Sony's official blog that one of the reasons the series was moved to handheld was due to its low console sales. But if you want another game is all its HD glory, be sure to pick up a copy of the PSP version.
"So far it seems like most of the fans are really just happy to see the series continue – and, if VCII sells well, it means a much greater chance that the series can pick up again back on a larger console, like the PS3," he said.
Weber also noted trophies could be added eventually, but fans need to speak up.
"If you do want to see trophies (and I know that's a lot of you here), then please do keep an eye out," he wrote. "I'd like to organize all of your feedback together so I can show some people here at SEGA just how many fans out there want them. Numbers speak loudest!
Thankfully for fans, it seems like SEGA wants to continue supporting this franchise.

Comet Crash Free Update Coming Soon to PSN
Hi again everyone!
This is John Bates and Jennifer Pourchot from Pelfast. Pelfast is a small indie startup located in sunny California.
Our highly acclaimed debut title, Comet Crash for PS3 has turned the tower defense genre on its head with completely new and exciting gameplay. We’ve been busy again with a free update that will add a few new features described at the end of the post. For those unfamiliar with Comet Crash, here’s a quick run down.
Tower defense fans appreciate the simple yet addictive experience of building towers to defend from enemy waves. On the other hand, we at Pelfast love the thrill of a massive offensive rush to demolish an enemy base. We designed Comet Crash with both of these elements in mind. Finally, you can send massive swarms of your own troops to wreak havoc on the relentless waves of enemies. Ahhh…sweet revenge!
In Comet Crash, your first priority is to defend your territory from an assortment of enemy invaders. For those of you new to tower defense gameplay, this involves strategically placing various weapon towers to destroy enemy units before they get to your base. To get the job done, Comet Crash provides a devastating arsenal of weapons, including Turrets, Pulsars and Bombers. Future space commanders will need to place each of these weapons strategically to slow the oncoming waves of enemy units. An effective tactician will need to draw on the strengths and weaknesses of their own weapons and units, but also of their enemies.
As we mentioned earlier, one of Comet Crash’s defining characteristics is actively bringing the fight to the enemies own front door — you must devise an offensive strategy. Comet Crash lets you choose between a variety of offensive units to create your own army. Each of these specialized mobile units has its own speed, strength and behavior. Once you have a massive army…ATTACK! By the way, remember that powerful Cell processor that you all have in your PS3? It’s for real. We cranked up the army cap to 1000 individual units per player for some seriously huge attacks. If all else fails, bust through the enemy defenses by destroying their towers. Choose to use simple brute force, devise a crafty offensive strategy, initiate land grabs, or use a combination of tactics to win.
In the Campaign, 1-3 players can fight through 28 action-packed levels. As you move through the Campaign you gain access to new technologies that add new strategies to your arsenal. It is up to you to find the most efficient way to spend your resources and to throw together first-class strategies to take down your enemy. Levels can be passed in many different ways so feel free to release your inner genius.
Battle mode allows you to play against your friends, supporting 2-4 players offline. The goal is simple: take out your buddies before they take you out!
We hope you enjoy the latest Comet Crash gameplay footage.
Comet Crash will get a free patch in a few weeks with some new and remastered sound effects, graphics tweaks, language support and a newly optimized SDTV layout.
Thanks for reading!
