Has anyone played GripShift on the PSP or PS3 and give us a brief review?
Also, Arkadian Warriors looks like a Gauntlet/Diablo clone, which would be great.

Arkadian Warriors is just what I thought and hoped it'd be. Basically, a "clone" of Dark Alliance. They even have the exploding jars. I'm definitely picking it up... of course I only need 10 MS Points and don't feel like buying 500 to fix that.

I've played Grip Shift (to the end) on the PSP... I liked it plenty. It basically boils down to a puzzle game that you have to "drive well" to complete. The latter levels are really hard but doable with practice. Not sure I would by it again just to play on the big screen, but the fact that I am considering it should tell you something...

Arkadian warrios is awful. Totally wrong 'feel' to it, no feel of contact when fighting. I was expecting a good diablo clone but its very disappointing.
Gripshirt is ok but a bit meh.
Bring on some good xbla games! Like another mutant storm or a decent board game conversion.

I thought Arkadian warriors was ok, it reminded me of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance or Guantlet. That plus on line co-op seemed like it might be worth it (still probably won't buy it.
Gripshift though was felt unresponsive and derivitive.

I've been having fun with Arkadian Warriors, but I do agree there seems to be no feeling when you hit something. Playing as the warrior kind of turns into a mash-fest of, "I pressed a button, did something die?". However I've had a lot of fun playing the Archer. The sorceress is okay, but as most magic users, starts a little underpowered. I think it was worth my 800 points, and can't wait to try out some co-op.
GripShift, I have the demo for, played it a bit and wasn't into it. I'm going to try it again and see how I feel. It's not a bad game, I can see the appeal. It's just not for me.

AW is a definate purchase for me now after checking it out. The arcade needs more rpg style games in it. GS I didn't care for very much but the title screen was cool.
