A title that caused quite a stir last year for all the right reasons was a horror indie game called Lone Survivor. The title comes from the Superflat Games and the mind of Jasper Byrne who states “it’s a game very personal to me that took almost seven years to get right. I guess you could call it a blend of ‘Lynchian’ psychological horror, point’n’click adventure mechanics and a virtual pet-like ‘physical and mental survival simulation’ – the idea being that how you choose to survive is up to you.”

Persona 2: Eterrnal Punishment now on PSN
Persona 2 suffered from split personalities. The game was split between two different games, Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment and saw remakes on the PSP, though Eternal Punishment was not released in the US. So do this mean we are finally getting that long sought after version? Not exactly.
ATLUS had encountered some significant issues with localizing the PSP version of the game. As a peace offering to fans the company has released the PSOne version on PSN. This version is mostly similar to the PSP version though the translation is not on par with recent localizations of the Persona series. A clarification list can be found on the PlayStation blog, here.
Up until today however, it seems that there were issues downloading the game to the PSP and PS Vita. PSP owners enjoyed a work around by downloading the game to their PS3 and then transferring the games to the PSP. The game seems to be accessible as of this morning for PS Vita owners.
