OXG talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include Coro Pata (DS import), Darius Burst (PSP import), Lina no Atelier: Strahl no Renkinjutsushi (DS import), Simple 2500 Series: Akuma Hunters – Exorsister (PSP import), and Metal Slug XX (PSP import).

On Darius Burst, OXG writes:

What we’ve got here is the first original Darius since G. Darius hit the arcades back in 1997. Obviously, this is a pretty big release for shmup fans and reason enough for many to finally get a PSP. Luckily, Taito is showing that it is taking this series’ resurrection somewhat seriously as the company has enlisted the help of Kanetake Ebikawa and Takayuki Yanase, both responsible for the mech designs in Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and Zuntata’s Hisayoshi Ogura, a composer who is well known for his previous work on the Darius series. In addition, two of the series’ staples – mecha space fish and branching paths – are back in full force (though there seem to be less paths compared to previous titles). Those looking for something different will have another ship to choose from as well as the option to play the new Burst mode.
