Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law preview for Sony PSP
From the warm critical and commercial response to the Ace Attorney series on DS, Capcom have obviously decided that the handheld law yer sim is a lucrative new genre. So this time they've roped in the winged ex-superhero protagonist from the Car toon Network animation of the same name (shown under their Adult Swim programming) for some more point-andclick style courtroom shenanigans.

What do we know?
Take a glance at the screenshots and you'll see that it's not just the idea that seems to have taken pointers from Phoenix Wright. Again, the game is split into investigative sections and cour t-based questioning, with witnesses to be interrogated and statements pressed for more info or contradic tions. It's all presented with the same rudimentary charm of the animated series, while the surreal humour that's the hallmark of the show is in abundance.
