Question
i like rpgs and stradegy based games for the psp? i'm wondering when they are going to release the star ocean 1 and 2? so do you think you can help me?

Answer
Howdie Ricky,

RPG's on the PSP are pretty scarce.  I'm afraid Star Ocean 1 and 2 I can't tell you much other than they're expected by year's end.  There may be more news next month announced at the Game Developer's Conference, so you should check on IGN then.

Aside from them though, Final Fantasy Tactics did just come out if you're into Strategy RPG's.  Also, Final Fantasy Crisis Core comes out next month.  The best recommendation I can give you is to check out Tales of the World.  It came out in middle 2007, so it may be a bit hard to find brand new, but it's a good typical RPG.

Hope it helps you in getting a quality RPG on your handheld.  Take care.

Expertise

I can answer almost any question you have about various game franchises for multiple systems. I've played well over 1000 games starting from the NES all the way to the current consoles and handhelds, in just about every single genre there is, but am especially familiar with RPG, action, adventure, platform, fighting, and strategy games. I cannot help with question about major sports games (Madden), music games, and major racing games (Gran Turismo, Project Gotham Racing). Otherwise, feel free to ask for anything. If you're also looking for a new great game to play, let me know your tastes, and platforms, and we can figure out something great to be your next game.

Experience

I've been playing games since I was 4, starting on the NES with Mega Man, and have been an avid gamer and collector ever since.
