Or maybe something else, regarding ketchup, who knows? However, the whole thing is reminiscent of Silent Hill, which shouldn’t even come from Japan.

Of course, this is only bad because it doesn’t offer anything for PSP users. Once again Sony opts to concentrate on the PS3, even though our PSP does far better in terms of sales. If was nevertheless a nice marketing move and we hope to see something similar with the PSP next time!
