Looks like stores are starting to clear our PSP games. Gamestop has several of the best PSP Rpgs for $10 or less. This includes 3rd Birthday, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy 1, Lord of Arcana and Knights of the Nightmare. Most of these games are $9 used. Goozernation has the full details.
"All-in-all Knights in the Nightmare is a fun game with a unique battle system that is sure to entertain gamers for hours at a time. Considering that the controls were originally made for the Nintendo DS the PSP version controls well with the analog and being able to switch from Law and Chaos by using the right bumper makes for a smooth transition between modes. The only drawback is that at times it can get tiresome repeating the same battle turn after turn.
Visually the game looks good, no..."
"Knights in the Nightmare’s story is a bleak and sad one, as the kingdom of Aventheim has essentially been destroyed from within by evil forces and inner conflicts.
Originally the gameplay on the DS version had the player using the stylus to move the “wisp” around the screen to command the allied characters on a grid type battle system while also having to dodge “bullets” that the enemy shoots which damage your wisp when it is struck.
Instead of using the stylus however gamers will inst..."

"We love our reviews here at Resume Play, and I have personally noticed that the reviews we put out for you guys might not be getting enough exposure, so here it is; Review Play.
What is Review Play? Simply, it is a weekly post to show off all of the reviews that have been posted within the last week. We list a small summary of each review we have done over the last seven days in case you don’t fancy scrolling through vast amounts of content. We also target featured reviews, reviews from th..."
"Knights in the Nightmare is what it says on the tin in terms of plot guidance; it tells the tale of many knights, living in a nightmare, most of them dead. The plot itself is extremely loose and you will find yourself unavoidably confused within minutes of play, as each chapter in the game keeps going backward in time, introducing characters who are presented as if you have been playing the game as them for several hours. I pressed on through the first few chapters until I was totally confuse..."
Atlus seems to have hit a gold mine with Knights in the Nightmare. After surfing around the internet for the better part of the previous month collecting information regarding the game, I don't recall anybody ever criticizing it, other than some minor concerns about the depth and difficulty. RPGamer's review supports the opinions found on message boards and forums.
With the game hitting store shelves in North America tomorrow, RPG enthusiasts and fellow gamers might want to check out RPGam...

Atlus is known well for including extras with its video games, completely free. The upcoming DS tactical RPG Knights in the Nightmare is no exception, this one coming with an artbook.
Care for a look?
Atlus announces it has forged a partnership with developer Sting (responsible for the Baroque series, Riviera, Yggdra Union AND Knights in the Nightmare) to become the exclusive publisher of their titles. They'll also handle all of the marketing for Sting's future releases.
This effectively ends Sting's own publishing duties in Japan. Atlus USA was already responsible for releasing for most of Sting's most recent titles in North America, so it's not like the two companies just happened u...

New screenshots of Sting's upcoming Strategy RPG, Knights in the Nightmare have reached the internet after its official site has been redesigned in advance of its release next week. It is the 4th episode of the Dept. Heaven series. Some of the staff that worked on Yggdra Union returns for this game.
