Vivendi has announced Miami Vice: The Game for PSP, due to be released this July. As you might expect, that's the same time the new film, starring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell, hits US theaters. This has nothing to do with the UK-only PS2/Xbox Miami Vice game released back in 2004 (well, apart from the obvious connection). The PSP installment is being developed by UK studio Rebellion - you know them from Rogue Trooper and Dead to Rights: Reckoning.

It's a good time to be an Ace Combat fan. The sixth game in the series, The Belkan War, hits the PlayStation 2 next week, and there's already more good news on the horizon. Namco Bandai has announced the tentatively titled Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception for the PSP, to be released this fall.
Ace followers already know that the series is the flight game to beat - nail-biting dogfights, sci-fi twists and authentic, licensed airplane action have made each entry a mid-air cluster of adrenaline.
If stories of one boy, an empire in trouble and a rather fortunate dragon egg are your cup of tea, you'll no doubt be pleased to hear that publisher Vivendi will be bringing the game version of forthcoming fantasy movie Eragon to multiple consoles later this year.
The game will be appearing on Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, PSP, GBA, DS and PC in various guises - with no sign of a GameCube version, though - and will be given its first showing at E3 next month.

Japanese developer Hudson Entertainment will be including a flight game for Revolution in its line-up for this year's E3.
The game is currently being referred to as 'Flight Game' and will allow players to control planes using the 'gesture function' of the Revolution controller, then take planes through stunt sequences and bombing runs.
Also in its line-up for E3 is another Bomberman game called Act Zero, which will be released for Xbox 360, and an update of the Dungeon
Gitaroo Man is headed for PSP, according to Sony's Japanese retail site. Known as Gitaroo-Man Live!, this return is heading for Japanese stores on May 25.
The handheld installment will update the overlooked original. Released in 2000, it was a fantastically insane rhythm-action title that centered on a guitar-playing superhero, U1, who wailed his way through incredibly funky tunes in battles with absurd enemies. It never achieved worthy popularity, but it's still remembered fondly, even after
This May, the PSP will get yet another racer in the form of Race Driver 2006. But while it's entering a crowded field with a generic-sounding title, Race Driver looks like a promising speedway simulator.
Developed by the minds behind the TOCA series, Race Driver will feature 60-plus racing circuits, more than 50 cars and wireless multiplayer for up to 10 drivers. It looks great in motion, too, as you'll see in the official trailer Codemasters sent us; the visuals look sharp and the action
Some of you might remember the 2002 blow-up between Dave Mirra and Acclaim, when the BMX stunt rider sued the publisher for dragging his name into colossal crapfest BMX XXX. The controversy apparently didn't sour Mirra on games entirely, though, as he's starting over with a new title and a new
Before the hype machine for September's CG flick Open Season can even begin, Ubisoft is already letting people know about their video game adaptation. In the grand tradition of Ice Age, Madagascar and Over the Hedge, you control grotesquely disproportioned animals as they engage in wacky hijinx. But this time you're wild animals looking to give inept hunters a hard time. This from Ubisoft Montreal - yes, the same Ubisoft Montreal that creates the consistently fantastic Splinter Cell stealth
