Our first foray into the PSP gaming space, Vector TD Minis, launched last week. The EU PlayStation blog was gracious enough to let us write a post on the game’s release (by the way, you can download the game to your PS3 and play it on your home console as well as on-the-go). Here are what some commenters had to say:

“I too am guilty of spending a fair few hours playing this game when I should have been working on my dissertation while working on my degree. Needless to say, I’d already bought the game before this blog post. Great fun :p”

“Bought it yesterday and it’s brilliant. Admittedly I’m a bit Tower Defence fan anyway, but the fact that this is simplified down to the purest form is great for quick games on the move.”

“Yeah, seriously, this is a brilliant game, and an absolute steal at £2.50. Better than Fieldrunners? Maybe…”

A few other European gaming blogs also picked up the news — PlayStation-centric site The Sixth Axis gave it a 9/10 and said:

But what starts as a plain screen of dull looking blocks soon decends into a complex series of interlinking power ups and pulsing Vectroids as your nerves begin to crumble

Handheld/mobile gaming blog PocketGamer also covered the release:

At first glance it look like quite a basic tower defence game, but don’t let the straight lines fool you – this is a surprisingly intense and strategic take on usual gameplay, requiring you to make some fast and accurate decision in upgrading your towers before the invading Vectoids fly by.

And lest we forget the Germans, PSPSource.de also posted what (we think) is a pretty positive review of the game as well, giving it an 8.5/10.

Have you played the Vector TD Minis yet? Let us know what you think! The North America and Asia PlayStation stores will be getting the game soon as well.
