I'll pick this up if I get through Infamous and Punch-Out in a timely manner. There was a game (I forgot the name) that came out at PS3's launch that was a hack'n'slash RPG, and it was obviously not great, but I got a lot of time out of it, and I figure this will be at least as good as that. I love the genre, really wish Diablo 3 was coming to consoles....

 

I think you are talking about Untold Legends.  I played the PSP versions and liked them.  Thinking about downloading one of them from PSN so I can have a good dungeon crawl on the go.

 

 Yup thats it.  I played the first Untold Legends on the PSP but couldn't finish it.  I'm not sure if it's because it just wasn't done well or if it's tough to invest that amount of time in a handheld (thought i dont think that's it).  I did really enjoy the console one, though, for what it was.  I know there was a sequel for the PSP one, too, but I never tried it.

When I was toying with the idea of buying a PS3 I saw that version of Untold Legends for 20 dollars and really wanted it.  But in the end I read reviews (maybe a mistake) and they all said basically there where hardly any RPG elements and it was mostly action so I decided with Sacred 2 coming out in 2 weeks I could skip it and the PS3 in general.  But I wanted not to spend my entire tax rebate and ended up doing so anyway, so maybe I should have gotten the PS3.

I don't know what to say about the PSP versions.  I had very fond memories of them.  I think I'm about to download the second one for 16 dollars.  I just love dungeon crawlers and the save anytime style of most of them is perfect for a handheld game.  But I thought they were very well done, maybe not Diablo 2 material, but definitely workable portable crawls.  I'm going to check and see if can buy the disk for cheaper than 16 dollars but if not I'm going to go ahead and download.  As sad as it is, these games are rare,  see my post above but developers now days would rather just spit out constant shooters.  So my love for the few that exist are usually amplified.
