It just might solve PSP and PS3's software problems GamesIndustry.biz reports that Sony is almost ready to roll with its PlayStation download service. According to GI - via an interview with Japanese business website NikkeiBP - the service will begin to offer downloadable PSone games this November, which just so happens to be about the same time the PS3 launches.

DS owners will soon be able to pick up a GBA-cart-sized add-on that turns Nintendo's twin-screened handheld into an MP3 player with up to 2GB of memory. The cartridge fits into the bottom slot (so it'll work with GBA and Game Boy Micro, too), takes SD memory cards that can hold up to 500 songs, has a simple readout on the handheld's screen and features a second headphone socket on the cart itself. As it also works with Game Boy Advance, we're expecting that your SD memory card - which ...

Wii may Rez-urrect popular shooter According to several internet sites who apparently get their mail sooner than we do, the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly has some great rumors about upcoming Wii games. The first rumor is that a Wii-only follow-up to the cult-favorite PlayStation 2 shooter Rez may be in the works. Which would be phenomenal. There's no way the world-at-large - which bought over a million copies of Vivendi's awful 50-Cent game - has the class to make the sequel to a ...

Friday 1 September 2006 The developer of cult hit Psychonauts has been busily working on another slice of weirdness for a while now, but it's recently been confirmed that FEAR publisher Vivendi has snapped up the currently secretive title.

Nintendo wins at Japan We all know the DS is kicking ass. It has excellent games that unite everyone from oldsters to little kids, and the DS Lite is the sexiest portable system around (sorry, PSP. Maybe the new PSP - see below - will reclaim the crown.) But this past week, in Japan, Nintendo has hit another milestone: every single one of the top 10 selling games across all platforms is for the Nintendo DS. From Final Fantasy III on down, including a Brain Age sequel, Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and ...

The artwork, however, is taken from the Resident Evil remake for the GameCube. Let's stop and think about this for approximately 30 seconds. Let's begin with the source. Is Game Next - a Chinese mag we've never heard of ...

Nintendo's online service Connect 24, which pushes new features to Wii games while you sleep (if it works, anyway) could change that... but who knows? Best to ...
