Earth Defense Force 2 And Corpse Party: Blood Drive Coming To Vita This Fall
XSEED has announced that it will be propping up Sony's handheld this fall. The publisher has announced two titles heading to Vita in the coming months.
First up is Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space. The cheesy name is a perfect fit for the over-the-top B-movie gameplay for which the Earth Defense Force series is known.
Also coming this fall is Corpse Party: Blood Drive, the follow up to Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows. Both Earth Defense Force 2 and Corpse Party: Blood Drive will be released digitally and at retail, with the latter packed with a two-disc soundtrack of tunes from the series and an artbook.
Both games have a loose release window of "fall 2015." We'll update as soon as we have more information.

Our Take
I've only played a bit of one Earth Defense Force game and it didn't hook me. Corpse Party on the other hand was a creepy, enjoyable experience. It's not shy about killing off characters, and that makes the story-telling that much more unpredictable.
