GTA and Lemmings on PSP 37
GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that the Grand Theft Auto series will see its first foray onto the PSP this Autumn with the title of Liberty City Stories. On a cuter note, Gamespot has word that the Lemmings will be a PSP title sometime later this year. From the article: "Currently in development at Team 17, the PSP version of Lemmings will feature both classic and all-new levels, and will also let you create your own that can be shared with friends. Sony also plans to release its own downloadable content for the game, including new themes and levels." Ahh, fond gamer memories.

I'm planning on putting up a privacy fence made of nice cedar this summer, and one critical step the preservation of my new fence will be to put several "decorative" boulders out along the curb.

The second screen can be used for the map and other areas of the world. Maybe have a shoulder button swap locations between the screens, so you can play on one while still paying attention to what happens on the other, not needing to scroll and miss the action.

The PSP has an advantage when it comes to adding custom content, but other than that, the DS seems a more natural fit for a game like Lemmings.
But, given that the title is (according to the linked story) being developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, I suppose it was destined to be PSP-exclusive from the start.

OK, so Team 17 know what they're doing with platform games and they could probably do a good conversion from the old DOS/Amiga version, but farming it out like this strikes be as being like asking Electronic Arts to write Doom4 or having Mario on the XBox.

While cursor navigation was of course a bit more tricky, the easier access to the actions, scr

I agree it would be fun to see it on the DS as well. If there ever was a game well suited for a stylus, this is it.
