AestheticGamer1Parasite Eve: The Third Birthday for the Playstation Portable came out in Japan last December, the third installment in a horror series that has transitioned in the last 10 years to also include Action-RPG elements. Releasing in the US on March 29th and Europe on April 1st, it stars series heroine, Aya Brea, a 39-year old woman trapped in a 20-year old body, facing an onslaught of monstrosities hitting Manhattan. It received good reception in Japan, getting a 36/40 in the popular Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, and has sold about 250,000 copies to date. The development studio has said on record if this game does well they want to expand the Parasite Eve franchise.
The English trailer for the PSP game can be seen below. What do you think, PSP owners? Does Square Enix’s take on horror interest the western audiences?
