Sony dates PSP summer line up

June dates revealed for Secret Agent Clank, EchoChrome and ATV Offroad Fury Pro

Sony has dated several of its key Summer PSP releases. Secret Agent Clank is due to hit shelves Friday June 25th, EchoChrome is set for Friday June 6th, whereas ATV Offroad Fury Pro has been pushed back to June 18th.

Secret Agent Clank is a spin-off from the popular Ratchet and Clank series, and stars the Robot Clank and his secret alter-ego. The game uses the same engine as PSP hit Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters.

EchoChrome is a unique and stylish black-and-white puzzler featuring a mannequin figure, whereas ATV Offroad Fury Pro is a feature-filled racer, complete with bikes, buggies, trucks and trick modes.

It's actually a very large game, with very good graphics and excellent racing physics. I'd go as far to say that it's better than the PS2 version.

Three Sony releases in the same month for the PSP... not bad.

Sorry but I have to agree with Dylan Epp on this one.
I also dont understand why this news was posted?!

Do MCV always post the confirmed forthcoming line up listed on publishers release schedules?

Or only when they are as crap as this?

Mario Galaxy dated - Makes sense,
Halo 3 dated - Makes sense,
GTA4 dated - Makes sense ,
Haze dated - Bit silly but still makes sense,

ATV, Secret Agent Clank?

Sorry guys but you've lost me there.....

Any ideas on when Ninja Bread man 2 is out?

How about Crazy Chicken Heart of Tibet 2?

No?! oh, okay, never mind then......

Because Panty Sniffer, no matter how crap you might think they are (your opinion, I'm not too keen on them myself) these are key release titles for the PSP and people do actually still buy PSP games y'know.

BTW, 'Ninja Bread Man 2' scheduled for late summer. Hope that helps.

Cheers 'Hnbeanz' I'll get my pre-order in now. ;)

However, I was under the impression that God Of War 2 on PSP had done like, 5 times more in illegal downloads than it had in sales and the apparently, the sales werent even that good?!

Perhaps with these games, Sony are targeting a slightly different audience, one with mums that will actually buy the games for them?!

EchoChrome, if you havn't played it on PS3, is amazing! As for Empty Wallets......Sony has an annual profit 4 times that of Microsofts, so money can EASILY be diverted from one section to another, especially as Sony has been merging its departments recently.....
