For us PSP users, we can see the announcement of a Death Jr. 2, Bomberman Act Zero and Silent Hill: Original Sin.
Gamespot tackled the subject in their Rumor Control with the verdict of “We’ll take a chance and say not bogus–E3 will likely prove us wrong or right.”
Considering the lukewarm reception Death Jr. got, it is a bit of a shock to see a sequel, but I suppose not altogether unexpected. For me personally though, the announcement of a new Silent Hill is the highlight as it has long been one of my favorite series. However, I wonder how well it will play on the PSP considering the games are best played on a TV with the sound cranked up in the middle of the night.
