Much time on our flagship podcast, Podtoid, has been devoted to a weird man love for The Red Star, a bananas side-scrolling schmup set in a dystopian universe. It was released in 2007 for the PS2, but as many of our listeners know, it has launched as a PSP downloadable. Earlier last afternoon XS Games announced its arrival on PSN, and made time to tease that an iPhone version is slated to hit later this year.
So now, for the price of $14.99, you can check out the game Aaron Linde has been screaming about on Twitter and play the port that Topher Cantler has been calmly excited about. Because of how weird the game is we suggest that you check out the game's Web site, if only for the pretty pictures and full story.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.

I assume the former, since this was up last week for $9.99 on PSP.
PSP, via PSN.
Anyway, if you haven't seen the graphic novels you should check them out. Really cool Cold War Russia meets giant airships and magic sort of setting!
Type in your zipcode and buy it!!!
Standard beat-em-up, very repetitive, boring after 1 day...
