The venerable Armored Core franchise is arguably the most popular mech-combat game home consoles have seen. Spanning from the Playstation Era into the current generation of home and portable consoles, Armored Core has had a steady release of games over the years.

On February 4, FromSoftware released Armored Core: Silent Line Portable in North America for Sony's PSP and PSPgo handheld systems.

Taking place after the events of Armored Core 3 Portable, Armored Core: Silent Line Portable will pick up where you left off if you have the save data available. The additional feature list for a portable Armored Core game is impressive. From the press release:

• Build and customize mechs with essential and secondary parts – modify existing designs or start from scratch.
