WTF: work time fun™ is a crazy collection of 40 fun and addictive mini-games that drive the player to perform sometimes trivial, sometimes mind-bending, but always fun, jobs in pursuit of the almighty dollar. Spend your well-earned money in the prize-vending machines to unlock new mini-games, useful tools, hundreds of trinkets and more. And what do you do when you’ve spent all your money? Well, you head right back to work so you can make more money to buy more stuff… sounds a lot like life, doesn’t it?
Already a smash hit in Japan, WTF delivers gamers addictive, bite-sized morsels of crazy arcade-style action unlike anything ever seen on the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. It may seem silly, but you won’t be able to stop playing!
Smart Bomb (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2pz-71-j8-49-en-84-j-70-m0n.html)
http://image1.play-asia.com/170/PA.28535.001.jpg
The player has to defuse the bombs in a game of high tensions, quick wits, and fast, frantic puzzle solving. Smart Bomb is the perfect game for a quick hit of gaming fun.
Each bomb is made up of a series of puzzles designed to obstruct the player from getting to the detonator - the heart of the bomb. By skillfully solving each puzzle, the player will gain more time to take on the disarming of the detonator.
The puzzles take full advantage of the 3D environments possible on the new PSP. Navigation in, around, and through the bombs gives the player such a feeling of immersion that the PSP feels like a time bomb in your hands.

Be sure you cross that finish line in time, or you and your friends will really be running on empty. Race against the evil Nemesis to protect your friend's souls and foil his evil demise.
