Sony unveils its PSP Tokyo Game Show lineup

With E3 seemingly now a shadow of its former self, the gaming industry's focus may shift to the Tokyo Game Show, which just so happens to be only a mere seven days away. TGS 2006 goes from Sept.

22 through 24 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. And to whet your appetite, Sony has released a preliminary list of the PSP lineup that should be in playable form at the event.

• Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception (Namco Bandai Games)

• Bounty Hounds (Namco Bandai Games)

• Boxers Road 2: The Real (Ertain)

• Gundam Battle Royale (Namco Bandai Games)

• Homestar Portable* (Sega)

• Jan-Sangokumusou (Koei)

• Jeanne D'Arc (Sony Computer Entertainment)

• Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel (Konami)

• Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops* (Konami)

• Minna no Golf-jou* (Sony Computer Entertainment)

• Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (Capcom)

• Navigation Software* (working title) (Edia)

• Ratchet and Clank Portable (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)

• Sarugettchu Piposaru Racer (Sony Computer Entertainment)

• Tales of the World Radiant Mythology (Namco Bandai Games)

• Tenchi no Mon 2: Busouden (Sony Computer Entertainment)

(* – supports GPS)

In addition the already mentioned games, Sony will show new video of 35 more titles. I believe the big story here is how effectively the GPS games use the add-on. If Sony can get software that show the peripheral is more than a gimmick, the PSP may be able to gain some ground on the DS.
