Listen, you're going to need a solid handheld game if you're going to survive tomorrow's family-fueled Thanksgiving festivities. You know, something discreet you can hide under the table, or perhaps behind a towering pile of yams. Indie developer Halfbrick has you covered -- the studio released its second PSP Mini onto the PSN yesterday: An "interstellar arcade game" titled Blast Off.
The game, which arrived on the PSN storefront for the bargain price of $2.99, places you behind the controls of a rocket ship. Whilst piloting said spacecraft, you must navigate through the gravitational fields of planets, asteroids and black holes to rescue lost astronauts. It sounds like an neat little diversion to help you get through the post-pumpkin pie family bonding time.

Halfbrick's two Minis are the cheapest of the bunch. I've been considering their first Mini, Echoes, but haven't dived in.
Has anyone bought any Minis? Any recommendations? Anti-recommendations?

I'm pretty sure it isn't under the Minis section but Pinball Hero's is very fun, for 3.99 I am always turning it on to beat out my score, though it nickel and dimes you with the tables, 3.99 only gets you 1 table, the others are also 3.99 a piece :(
I am happy to see more Minis, keep them coming, and keep the UNDER $5, unlike some greedy developers (EA)

This website, pspminis.com (which I am not affiliated with) is dedicated to PSP Minis. They do recommend Echoes. You can read about the reviewer's first impressions of the game here: http://www.pspminis.com/833/first-impressions-echoes/ and a full review here: http://www.pspminis.com/901/echoes-review/
