Famitsu magazine in Japan has stated that Phantasy Star Online will be released for the PSP in 2008. The game will include Phantasy Star Universe and include Amabition of Illuminus as well as new original stories.

Phantasy Star has been referred to as the Halo of the Dreamcast and I'm sure this news will definitely revitalise and perk up some of the older games who've not dusted of their joypads in a while, and indeed introduce the series to a newer generation.

Last week, I got off easy; I got away with only putting four of that pretty large list of notables in the title. With the games releasing this week, it looks like that's not possible. This is how you know it's the holidays.

That said, there are plenty of good games that came out last week, coming out this week, and will come out in the upcoming weeks. Console allegiances be damned; we're all gamers, and let's enjoy all these games. Defense Forces need not apply. Support good games!
