Nice game for cheap. You can also play it on your PS3 as well as the PSP.

Its a side-scroller (left\right) beat-em-up that features a young thor and a lot of monsters. It's kind of like Castle Crashers, not as great but I found myself constantly playing it.

Its very simple to pick up and play. One button to jump and another couple buttons for attacks. You get to do special moves and you can level up and do more damage by killing more monsters while playing.

You also find equipment such as helmets or gauntlets which give you more moves, double jumps, increases your attack power etc.

It's not bad at all for the price...just wanted to mention it here.

I occasionally participate in the PSPMinis.com forum, and this game was very well received there (and by the review in the site's main blog). I have not gotten it yet myself, but I probably will at some point. The game's visuals are pretty good (it runs on the Vicious Engine, like a few other Minis), and the trailer shows some cinematic kill shots reminiscent of God of War.

The Mini I have most been looking forward to since the beginning of the year is a comedic side-scrolling shooter, The Flying Hamster (think Parodius). It's going to get some genre competition from Ace Armstrong vs. the Alien Scumbags, though, and two other scrolling shooter Minis from other developers are known to be in the works. One of those developers made Coconut Dodge, currently only available from the European PS Store, which has gameplay somewhat reminiscent of a bullet hell shooter. I'll be able to play it for myself once it hits the US, probably in a month.
