Several Popular Franchises Hitting PSP

The PSP’s release list may look a bit dry right now, but today Sony announced several new titles for its portable system coming from some very popular video games series.  The best part?  Gamers won’t have to wait long to play these games: they are all due by the end of 2009.  The first of these games is LittleBigPlanet Portable, a portable translation of last year’s PS3 game-creation game.  Surprisingly, this version will have all the level creation and sharing features of the PS3 version, except in a portable form.  There is no need to worry because it is being developed by both Media Molecule and Sony Cambridge.  The next game announced is another Sony franchise, MotorStorm: Arctic Edge.  As the title suggests, this installment in the MotorStorm series is set in the snowy environment of Alaska.  This is being developed by Bigbig Studios, the developer behind the Pursuit Force games.  Next, Ubisoft will bring Assassin’s Creed Portable this year along with a new system bundle including the game for $199.99, but no further details have been released.  Finally, Harmonix and MTV Games are exclusively bringing Rock Band Unplugged to PSP along with the first in-game DLC store on a PSP game.  No details have been released on this game either, but I can only imagine how it would be played.  More announcements are beneath the jump.
