May is shaping up to be a very exciting month for PSP owners. A number of highly anticipated games will be released in the coming few weeks, with something to keep fans of just about every genre happy. For example, flight-sim aficionados get more air combat thrills in the form of Heatseeker, while those looking for a more relaxed RPG experience have the first PSP version of Harvest Moon to look forward to. One of the most influential arcade game makers of all time has a compilation of old and remixed classics sliding quietly onto the PSP this month. Taito’s Power-up collection deserves a look for classics such as Space Invaders and Elevator Action. Of all of the releases coming out this month, we are most excited for Driver ‘76 and Coded Arms: Contagion, if only to see whether the developers have been able to realize these games’ full potential. As usual, we have done our best to compile and cross-check these release dates with reliable sources, but these are always subject to change until the moment the game clerk tries to upsell you on a pre-order.
