Remember back when the Badman series was called the Badman series? You know, back before the whole "This sounds too much like Batman so change it or we'll take all your money" thing happened. The series went strong with two games under a new name, What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!?, and now it's coming to PSP with a third entry, No Heroes Allowed!
Like the previous games, you'll dig dungeons to kill off heroes in as many terrible ways as possible across the 33-stage story mode. New to the series in this entry is a cooperative mode that will allow Badman to team up with his daughter, Badmella, to conquer the world even more quickly.
We liked the last game in the series a lot, so PSP owners who also happen to hate heroes should keep an eye out for more on Badman's future exploits. I'm just waiting until I accidentally start calling this No More Heroes Allowed!

It's not that the franchise is coming fast at all. it's just the localization of the first title didn't occur until long after it was originally released, therefore delaying the second title's localization.
This third one has a new publisher/localizer (SCEA is taking over what NISA made "popular," apparently). If NISA was doing it, it would probably be another 6 months before we would see it.
I suppose it might seem like they're releasing quickly because the games are just arriving in the west, but actually they weren't released as quickly as you might imagine initially.
You know, I never knew what these games were about until now. (Never paid attention before for some reason.) Am I right to think it's a Dungeon Keeper style game? If so, awesome.
Kind of. You dig a maze, chisel away the blocks, some blocks contain creatures. It's your job to drive a mini ecosystem to make the maze inpenetrable. So unlike Dungeon Keeper, you don't have direct control, but you do have indirect guidance of an ecosystem.
Is it okay that I want to punch Marcus in the face every time he opens his fat annoying mouth?
Anyhoo, the game looks awesome if I had a PSP I'd be excited, but I never really saw the need, and unfortunately the game doesn't sell me to dish out the cash on it yet.

Of course it isn't. They've all been driven out. This is a notice to any of them that get the idea that the exile is over.

Can't wait for this new one!
