New Suikoden on PSP
Liking it so far, but this is not Suikoden. Story, voice acting, characters, music, are all good, but the camera is shit, exploration is pretty much gone, no treasures to find in dungeons, so it's in a way even more linear than FFXIII, hell, they might as well have turned this into a full-fledged visual novel.
Very dirty of Konami not to tell this truth beforehand. Also very dirty of them to try "phishing" customers with 9 traditional Suikoden PSP Themes and the deluxe LE set with ol' Suikoden stuff, when this game really has nothing to do with Suikoden.
There's only 18 playable characters in battle.

Hudson is now a subsidiary of Konami. That train game series Momotarou Densetsu creator quit recently.
Konami also killed Vandal Hearts.
ASY did a respectable job with Hardcore: Uprising, dunno if Konami's gonna much with it from here on though.
Many fans disappointed with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The 2D HD version has a rather frequent bug during end of a mission where the page flipping never ends(freeze) that was never patched -- meaning Konami's just ignoring the problem.
Neverdead bombed.
Frontier Gate was meh, alright I guess. They've gotter work harder if they wanna beat Squenix's Lord of Apocalypse and Capcom's MH though.
Silent Hill Downpour looking good so far, but we'll find out soon.

If Hideo Kojima's staff left and formed their own company, Konami's true breadwinner LovePlus would be all they have left. Sure they've accumulated many IP over the years, but whether they can make good use of them is another thing.
