I am happy to hear more and more about Indie development coming to the Playstation brand.  It seems a lot of the smaller developers didn't like the cold business nature of Microsoft and appear to be coming to Sony in droves...like "rats on a sinking ship" which might be an accurate analogy given the missteps by Microsoft in the past week.

I wish the PSN had more demos of games, especially independant games like Knytt and Guacamelee.  There are a lot of indie developed titles coming to the PSN soon and it would be nice for the consumer to have more content to demo, as well as being nice for the developers to get their product out there in the hands of consumers to generate some interest.

This week, Guacamelee hit the PSN.  I had played a short demo in Gamestop and it was incredibly fun.  The biggest surprise was how well it controlled (the graphics are a given on the PS Vita...you have to TRY to make your game look bad on this system).  I also didn't realize how deep the combo system was in the game until I kept going back for more training.  Some of the combo lengths would make Street Fighter fans jealous and along with the tight controls, upbeat Spanish influenced music and well thoughtout levels, this game has been an absolute blast to play.

I don't intend to write a review...it's already been done on Gamespot and IGN, so I will just say that if you like Metroid and Castlevania style platformers, along with some clever dialogue, beautiful graphics, excellent level design and an difficulty level that seems "just right", look no further than Guacamelee.

On a side note, you might also want to give Knytt a try...but after you save the world as a Luchador in Guacamelee.
