The producer and writer of upcoming PSP arcade-style brawler “Unbound Saga” told me about the game’s fictional history, why it’s a PSN-only download and how it’s different from “Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.”

At New York Comic Con, I stopped by the Dark Horse Comics booth to check out the book publisher’s upcoming PSP title “Unbound Saga.”
Yep, that’s right — the PSP. The game, just announced this week, is slated for release in June and will only be available via digital distribution on the PlayStation Network.
Producer and writer Mike Kennedy from developer Vogster Entertainment was on-hand to demo the game. Clearly inspired by the likes of old-school, arcade-y brawlers such as “Comix Zone,” “Final Fight” and “Double Dragon,” “Unbound Saga” features the story of Rick Ajax, a beefy anti-hero who’s aware that he’s a comic book character and merely a pawn to The Maker, an omnipotent entity that tries him in various adventures requiring fisticuffs.
Along the way, Rick meets other characters, such as the assassin/spy/thief Lori Machete, and fights his way through over 30 unique enemies (like werewolves, sewer mutants, talking animals) through 120 different areas.
