It's been a while since we talked about Dynasty Warriors, so let's talk about Dynasty Warriors. Koei has forwarded over some screenshots and a new trailer for its upcoming PSP hack n' slash, Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce, due in March this year. No prizes for guessing whether or not I'll be getting the game.
In all fairness, Strikeforce is quite different from the traditional DW fare, as I found out when I played it in Tokyo last year. It's a co-op game for up to four players, with a lot of customization, fewer but tougher enemies, and full-scale boss fights. Koei has not hidden the fact that it's taken inspiration from Monster Hunter.
I like the look of it, but I still question the usability of a four player PSP game in a country that is not Japan, especially a Dynasty Warriors game.
Will three of you buy this and come to my house so we can play it please?

If you didn't live in shitfuck nowhere, then yes I would. This game looks pretty awesome, I like all the aerial combat and stuff. Sorta reminds me of Otogi.
