TGS 08: Undead Knights lays siege to PSP

Stuck in the midst of a royal power struggle, you're encouraged to see every enemy as a potential ally. Casting you in the role of the anti-hero, Undead Knights sees the dead join your ranks, an increasing and varied assortment of undoubtedly foul-smelling monsters which will act out your every destructive whim. If we had to draw a comparison, we'd say it sounded a bit like Overlord -- or perhaps a more sinister Tokobot. Either way, Tecmo intends to keep things relatively smooth and simple, with action forming 80% of gameplay, and strategy relegated to those times when the unique services of certain felled enemies are required to progress.
If you feel conquering is best done in the company of friends, you'll be pleased to note that Undead Knights will support 4-player ad hoc multiplayer and co-op. It will rise to retail in 2009.

sigh, more CG. I personally prefer to not see ANY cg unless it's accompanied by at least a smidgen of gameplay.

Well it does help to give some form to the creative direction of the title. I'm interested in the art style of the title if it is based off of this CG trailer...

Sounds like an intriguing concept. I shall keep an ear to the ground for this one.

So many great new PSP games coming up. I guess i'm finally going to be buying the new PSP Brite (have the launch version now).
Resistance Retribution. Lo0coroco 2. Patapon 2. Level 5 RPG's. This....yep, definitely time to upgrade.

A game where the core mechanic is to convert your enemies into your minions?
This brings me back with Age of Empires: I used to create hyper-expensive armies of monks, and all they did was convert enemy units quasi-instantly. Great times.

O...So this is kind of like the game that was suppose to come out on the console systems.
