I go by the alias name Karm (a combination of my first and last name and usually a
username). This pdf book I made lists various Playstation Portable RPG games released in the
US, Japan and Europe. Some are English translated as well. I made something similar to this
listing Nintendo DS RPG games as well. This project like the previous one was inspired by
another creator. You can find his books at DaddaRuleKonge.com. This is nothing compared to
his work but I had fun making this and I hope you enjoy viewing it and I hope this inspires you
to start a project of your own.

Like the NDS book this is broken down into different sections based on the different types of
RPGs. The setup is somewhat similar to this but I tried to change it up a bit. Each page
displays each game in Alphabetical order. I have also included the Metacritic score if there
was one. In some pages you may see some abbreviations for certain words like (JP) stands for
Japan, (EUR) stands for Europe and (DD) stands for Direct Download. The pages for translated
and some Direct Download games display Japan game covers.

strength. It was believed the conflict would last forever. However, the balance is now broken. Those
who answered Chaos's call created an inexhaustible force. And under vicious attack without relent, the
warriors fighting for Cosmos started to fall one by one. The conflict that has continued for eons is now
about to end in Chaos's favor. The world has been torn asunder, sinking into a vortex of disorder. As for
the few surviving warriors- their fates have yet to be determined.

Once upon a time, a thousand years ago to be precise, there was a country called Euforia that
flourished via use of the power called Will, the crystallization of intent and determination into
energy. Euforia built a vast kingdom and developed a culture dependent on that power, and so
did many other countries at the time.

But one day, Euforias legacy suddenly came to an end when it vanished into the sea,
submerging over eighty percent of the world in water. It is whispered that before the country
disappeared, the Euforian people hid their treasures within crystals, so that their culture might
survive them. (you can read the rest here - http://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/667101.html)
