Still looking for a good PSP RPG? We’ve been waiting patiently too, and finally a few new titles have entered the fray.  The latest, Hitmaker’s Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light, offers surprisingly twinkle-toed gameplay for a genre steeped in the slow waltz of menus and turn-based tedium. But alas, all the interesting footwork in the world can’t make up for the game's complete lack of personality.

Lance, the spunky hero, is fresh from the RPG main character mold, sans pointy ears. His high-pitched, campy antics begin under the somewhat refreshing premise of traveling to a remote island nation in search of adventure, which at least beats waking up on the beach with no memory. This, of course, is all thrown out the window of humdrum villainy when he's eventually charged with saving the world from the Dark Lord and his Dread Knight with the help of a ragtag group of adventurers. Bleh.
