TGS08: Level-5's Ushiro is amazing
Level-5's Tokyo Game Show booth featured a Closed Theater presentation (much like their competitor, Square Enix). However, unlike the other JRPG overlord, Level-5 encouraged us to actually let you watch these trailers as well by endowing us with a DVD (courtesy of booth girl). Our favorite trailer of the three new games unveiled at TGS this year is for PSP: Ushiro, a horror-themed RPG that has you playing a ghost haunting his darling (in a not-so-Patrick Swazey way).
TGS 08: Level-5 video roundup
Level-5's Tokyo Game Show booth featured a Closed Theater presentation (much like their competitor, Square Enix).

Our favorite trailer of the three new games unveiled at TGS this year is for PSP: Ushiro, a horror-themed RPG that has you playing a ghost haunting his darling (in a not-so-Patrick Swazey way).That's not all, of course. The busy RPG team is also hard at work on a new DS game in collaboration with Studio Ghibli, and a new PSP game that lets you customize some robots. Check out those videos, and more, after the break.
Famitsu: Level-5 scaring up two new PSP RPGs
While coding away on its PS3-exclusive RPG, White Knight Story, not to mention the newly revealed DS project with the animators at Studio Ghibli, and two DS sequels, Japanese dev Level-5 somehow still has time left in the day to work on two more PSP titles. Who needs sleep, anyway? A new Famitsu scan reveals that the studio behind 2007's Jeanne d'arc is developing a new scare-tastic RPG for the PSP called Ushiro, in which players will step into the boots of a shinigami, or God of Death in order to battle monsters and -- oddly -- help grant people's wishes. Dambol Senki (translated as "Cardboard War Machine") is described as an RPG in which you're tasked with building a small robot (called an LBX) and battling against other LBXs you encouter around ten. Little beyond this is known about what Level-5 has planned, though with TGS bearing down on us like a runaway scythe, we wish hope we'll find out more soon.
