Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear.

Final Fantasy Type-0 Rates Near Perfect in Famitsu

[PSP] Final Fantasy Type-0: 10, 9, 10, 10
[PSP] Senritsu no Stratus: 8, 8, 7, 7
[PSP] Ragnarok Hikari to Yami no Koujo: 8, 8, 8, 8
[PSP] R-15 Portable: 6, 6, 5, 6
[PSP] Tanteibu The Detective Club: 7, 7, 6, 6
[PSP] NBA 2K12: 7, 7, 7, 7

I ran through the Japanese demo a while back. The actual review isn't publishing until tomorrow, check back for some choice quotes. By the way, bonus points to anyone who can figure out what the hell Ragnarok is from this trailer... all I get is Venice and bad manga...
