All kinds of video game systems, like the Sony Playstation Portable and the Microsoft Xbox 360, have released some excellent video games. From realistic sports games to brilliant fantasy role-playing games to thrilling and intense military games, today's modern video games are so advanced, that it's sometimes it's hard to distinguish real life from the video game! Add to that fact that the music and soundtrack of today's video games are so well orchestrated, that they belong in a feature film or on your Apple iPod Nano, rather than just on a video game.

One of my favorite video games of all time is a small, not-to-well known game that has all of the important elements that make for a quality video game in spades: interesting characters, challenging game play, humor, suspense and an absolutely breathtaking and magical musical score that I'm still looking to download onto my iPod Nano: the game is Medievil, which was designed and developed for the original Playstation and is now available for the Sony PSP.

This is one of those video games that is both addictive and challenging at the same time. As Sir Daniel Fortesque, you are the main character and hero of the game. And, by the way, you're also dead. However, through the magic of Playstation Portable video game technology, you come back to life to defeat the evil wizard once and for all. It's a simple premise that has been seen and played on many video game platforms, from Nintendo to the Microsoft Xbox 360. For some reason, though, Medievil is a great game to play for the Sony Playstation Portable and for the original Sony Playstation.

Everything about this game really clicks. The music, which is definitely iPod Nano worthy, is never boring, repetitive or dull. Each part of the soundtrack corresponds beautifully with each unique level and area of the game, so that rather than playing a video game, you feel like your actually watching a spooky, scary and gothic movie - with you as the star! The voice work and graphics are some of the best that you'll experience and play on the Sony PSP.

There are lots of games that get tons of marketing and publicity thrown behind them. And, for the most part, the attention is well deserved, as the more popular games are often some of the best and most innovative titles ever created. Sometimes, a smaller game gets released that becomes a total and must-have game. For me, Sony really hit a home run by releasing Medievil, and now that's it's available on the Sony PSP, it's even better than ever!
