Portable Gaming Revolution

About I week ago, I posted news that the FCC had blown the cover of the PSP-3001. Finally, Sony has officially released all the information you could possible want to know about the upcoming release of the newly named PSP-3000. When compared to the previous model, the PSP-2000 (or PSP Slim), there is virtually no visual differences [...]

All of our footy fans out there will be interested to find out that as of this coming Sunday, August 17th, you’ll be able to download 45 minute clips of the highlights of the Barclays Premiership to watch on your PSP. Sky Sports has committed to airing 92 Live league games along with 242 “near-live” [...]

I’m going to point  out right at the beginning that this it NOT a re-design of the PSP, but rather a re-working of the PSP-2000, mostly on the interior of the unit. Looks like all Sony is doing with the 3001-model is try to reduce costs by using smaller and more efficient components. Supposedly, their [...]

  A new PSP-exclusive title has been announced by developer Stormregion. It will be a turn-based strategy game set in space called Mytran Wars. Not a lot of information is known as of yet other than it’s the 23rd century and humans will be pitted against aliens in their search for resources.  Stormregion are best known [...]

The Koreans have been enjoying a rhythm music game called DJ Max for a while now and those of us in North America with a craving for more than just Guitar Hero have had to import the game, up until now! The game’s developer, Pentavision, has announced through PM Studios that it will be bringing a combination of the [...]

Earlier today, Sony announced an entertainment pack that they have put out to coincide with the release of Madden 09.  The pack contains all sorts of goodies including, among other things, a never-before-released-in-North-America “Metallic Blue” PSP-2000. Something to keep in mind if you’re collecting the various PSP colors is that picking up this bundle is the only way [...]

This truly is sad news for all the PSP gamers out there who have been looking for ways to extend their playtime through other battery methods.  The Extended Life Battery Kit for the PSP was only released late last year and it’s quite puzzling to have Sony pull them off of the shelves so soon. [...]

There’s a PSP modder out there by the name of jube808 (a professional electronic engineer) who has been working on several features for the PSP that he believes should have been there in the first place: a better designed control pad, increased battery life and above all else, a touchscreen! He has brought one of his dreams [...]

With how busy my life is, I’m always looking for ways to make things just a little bit easier.  For me, this always includes writing lists and notes; I’m actually an obsessive list-maker, and I’m not ashamed to admit it! Along comes this neat little homebrew application called PSPNotes v0.1 by developer Mickael2054 and my life has [...]

Homebrew developer seanpaul223 has released the second version of his real-time strategy game, Age of Nations, for the PSP.  The game has undergone a complete over-haul, basically starting from scratch with the Lua code completely re-written to bring you all a better game! This project is based on the PC game, Age of Empires. You can see [...]

Neverland Card Battles is a port of a PS2 title that was originally released only in Japan, under the name Cardinal Arc: The Neverland Card War. This game will be joining the ranks of games such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, both card-based strategy games that were released last year for the PSP. This particular [...]

I’m going to start by admitting that I’m not normally a huge fan of role-playing games myself, I can watch someone else play them for hours, but have just never been able to get invested personally. That all changed with the release, eight years ago, of Parasite Eve for the PSX. I spent hours guiding Aya Brea [...]
