Indie dev Tiki Games today announced that they'll be releasing their next game, NovaStrike, for the PS3 sometime in Q2 2008. From IGN:

NovaStrike Features:
Seven expansive challenging stages driven by objective-based goals
Free-roaming flight: there aren't any rails here, so players can fly in any direction
Progressive weapon acquisition and upgrade system: as the player collects weapon drops from enemy ships the weapons themselves become available to the Scythe -- there are nine base weapon systems, each with three subsequent upgrade levels
Air and ground targets: two separate weapon systems allow the player to combat both air and ground opponents
Multi-sectioned enemies where individual components can be destroyed; for example, carriers have hangars that launch fighters -- these hangars can be destroyed independently of destroying the Carrier, preventing the Carrier from launching additional fighters
Multitude of enemies and environments: players combat enemy fighters, bombers, kamikazes, aces, carriers, and destroyers, all leading to an end-boss fight
You're not alone: friendly fighters, bombers, and destroyers will aid you in your efforts to vanquish the Draelus invasion
DualShock 3 support
Continuing support: Tiki Games will be developing additional content for NovaStrike throughout 2008
It looks like another twin stick shooter, but at least this one is doing some different things than we've in recent games. Hopefully they can keep it interesting and set it apart from the sea of GW clones.
As a fairly new psp owner I'm kinda overwhelmed at all the games out for it. Do I get:
Jeanne De Arc
Final Fantasy Tactics
Disgea 3
or
wait for Final Fantasy Crisis Core
also I'm fairly sure I'm missing another good (s)rpg in there somewhere.
So far I have
Daxter
Castlevania Chronicles X (highly recommend if you like older style castlevania)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
