Defcon Skins is back in full effect and really showing why they are the best in detailing your system. To make the PSP look even sexier than it already is, Defcon Skins has come up with a beautiful and futuristic skin called Blue Abyss. The way the skin covers the PSP is very impressive. As usual I was not surprised about the quality of work they do. They have once again proven that no matter what system, they've got you “covered”.

I've seen some other skins for the PSP, and they would just bring a sad look on my face. On the other hand, Defcon ‘s Blue Abyss is really pleasing to the eye. The blue and black combination sets off the look of the PSP. The dark look has a very oceanic feel to it, in which gamers should find acceptable. The whole idea of skinning is to appeal to the eye and make your system hotter than what it already is. Probably one success to this company is that they have been making decals for cars. It would be smart to get a long-lasting skin from someone who has been in the decal business for a while.

On the PSP the graphics are crisp and details are very realistic. Shadows are dark and hiding in them really gets you into the stealth mood. The card system look complex but is very simple to use. The game play is basically the same as any other card game. You have a choice of moving or using the card effect on two turns. When using a card effect a beautifully render Yugi- Oh-style cut scene takes place. The camera view often changes to make battle scenes more dramatic. Environments are nice to look at, and have the same visual style of previous Metal Gear titles. The compass will keep you in the right direction, no matter where you point the camera. Your job is to get snake through the area to his mission objectives using stealth and killing guards only when necessary, while picking up items and weapons scattered around the area. Its more like I hit you and you hit me back. A lot of gamers might have mixed feelings about this game, but I think most gamers will accept it.

The fact of the story is that you cannot go wrong with the Blue Abyss. One of the things you will notice is the color and overall durability of the skin. You will definitely enjoy the new look of your PSP. Defcon Skins are setting the standard in skin technology.
