Does this mean I need to buy a PSP?

EchochromeA few days ago Julian at selectparks mused that Little Big Planet might make him want to buy a PS3. Well now I have my, “Doh, I might have to buy something from Sony” moment.

Echochrome appears to be a gem of a game heading to PSP & PS3 download. The gameplay appears to be fairly simple. You navigate a drawing-model-doll through MC Esher-esque puzzles by rotating the puzzle and warping the perspective.

Sony introduced Echochrome at E3 by calling it “possibly the least graphics and most gameplay of any title you are going to see this week.”

I love it.

    i had a moment of “ooh, do i want a psp?” as well when a katamari came out for it. i got over it. as much as i _love_ katamari, i just couldn’t see myself buying a psp. of course, if there was katamari and 2 other games that were goood… and echochrome is soooo tempting….

    of course, i’d just be happy with an EBA sequel in english.
