Blokus: Steambot Championship Bricks PSP in 2008

4
Irem Software Engineering's PSP version of Sekkoia's renowned board game Blokus is on its way to North America in early 2008, publisher Majesco announced today.

Titled Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship, it combines characters from Irem's Steambot Chronicles--a mech-and-music-focused PlayStation 2 action-adventure game published domestically by Atlus--with the simple-though-strategic gameplay of Blokus.

The concept behind Blokus has players placing colored squares on a board, with the goal to have have the corners, but not the sides, touching blocks of the same color. Though the board game only supports up to 4 players, the PSP version will allow up to 16 players to go head-to-head via local wireless multiplayer.

        I'm sure that was the goal. A might mislead, though.

      Same here, misleading and overly humorous headlines are fun!
