Japan: PSP sales double - beat Wii

PSP News | PSP

Dec 21, 2007 Weekly PSP sales more than doubled during the week ended December 16 as Sony's handheld left all but the mighty DS in the shade. As is the norm, DS was the bestselling system, with sales up almost 55,000 week-over-week. However, it was PSP sales, which shot up by 93,000, that were most surprising, especially considering that only one PSP title made the latest Japanese software chart - Hot Shots Golf Portable 2 at No19. Wii sales were up by over 50,000 units as PS3 sales slumped ... » Read More

GamesRadar's seemingly annual Platinum Chalice...

PSP News | PSP

Dec 20, 2007 Another year, another collection of meaningless awards for games you already knew were good. So, instead of desperately waiting for other people to re-affirm opinions you already had, why not read a whole choking list of awards that celebrate 2007 in a slightly different way? Last year's Potentially Annual Platinum Chalice awards were met with such deafening acclaim (you saw the parade, right?) that we simply had to follow through and make them a grand, yearly tradition like ... » Read More

Hollywood heavyweight goes game developer

PSP News | PSP

Dec 19, 2007 Heavyweight movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer is teaming up with MTV Games to produce new entertainment properties that will begin life as games. "Video games represent a new and innovative medium for what we've always tried to do, which is to tell great stories. But this medium is unique in that it gives the player control over how those stories unfold," Bruckheimer (reportedly) says. "I look forward to working with MTV Games to create new original game stories, always looking ... » Read More

Play PS1 games via PSP Remote Play

PSP News | PSP

Dec 19, 2007 Yesterday's PS3 firmware update packs a nice little surprise Sony didn't mention - it enables PS1 gameplay via Remote Play on your PSP. Just to clarify, that means that you can play PS1 games that are loaded onto your PS3 hard drive on your PSP via a wireless connection, including via the internet. Why is this cool? Because you can stuff your PS3 hard drive full of PS1 games and play them wherever you are in the world, via the internet on your portable. It works with PS1 game ... » Read More

Gran Turismo PSP 2009 at the earliest?

PSP News | PSP

Dec 18, 2007 It looks like PSP still has a long wait in store when it comes to seeing Gran Turismo grace its lovely screen. Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has explained that, while he's very much working on Gran Turismo Portable, it won't be out till after Gran Turismo 5 releases. Speaking to Spanish website Meristation, Yamauchi said that GT 5 is currently penciled in for Christmas 2008, but that it won't be released until everything is perfect. A PSP version of Gran Turismo 4 was ... » Read More

Official PSP media manager is free

PSP News | PSP

Dec 18, 2007 You can finally abandon the minefield of third-party media applications for PSP, because the official media manager is now free to download. Sony at last acknowledges that you need to do a fair amount of data manipulation to get the most out of your PSP, and you shouldn't have to pay for it. You can now grab the official media manager from the Japanese website. Installation is in Japanese, but it's a simple case of hitting the "hai" buttons (on the left) until it's all done, ... » Read More

E3 back from the dead?

PSP News | PSP

Dec 18, 2007 The Entertainment Software Association has confirmed that the E3 Media & Business Summit will be returning back to its historic digs at the Los Angeles Convention Center next year. Is the 'old' super-sized E3 back from the dead? Not quite. “We are very much not going back to the old E3,” Rich Taylor, senior vice president of communications and research for the ESA, told Kotaku. “I think we are all on the same page for the industry on what we want those days in ... » Read More

The Top 7... Most Evil Games

PSP News | PSP

Dec 17, 2007 The funny thing about the freedom of speech is that everyones for it until they see something that rubs them the wrong way. Take these Top 7 Most Evil Games for instance. We wish these games didnt exist. But if we want developers to have the freedom to make the games we actually want to play without having to worry about censorship fettering creativity, there needs to be a place for the ones we wouldnt touch with a ten foot pole too. What you're about to see are the most vile, ... » Read More

Game babes: A history

PSP News | PSP

Dec 14, 2007 It's fair to say that we direct all our technology into two things: boobs and bombs. Video games have exploited the latter from the moment they first appeared, so it comes as no surprise that violence has become more and more intense as gaming tech improves. So, if the bombs have gotten bigger, what about the boobs? Join us as we dive into the dreadful beginnings of women in games, then stroll through their gradual evolution from sex trophies to sex trophies with giant guns and ... » Read More

Videogame characters we really care about

PSP News | PSP

Dec 14, 2007 95% of videogame characters are little more than background noise. They talk, blink, maybe wave their arms around a bit while yelling at you about 'keys', 'objectives' and 'friendly fire'. But sometimes you run into characters that stand out like explosions in the night sky against the cardboard cut-outs that inhabit the majority of games. These are the characters you actually care about. Now we're not likely to confess our feelings for a polygonal personality to random people on ... » Read More

Are developers even listening?

PSP News | PSP

14 Dec, 2007 Every gamer is an armchair critic. We all have brilliant ideas on how a developer could have done a better job or what they need to include in their next game to make it the absolute pinnacle of awesomeness. And truly dedicated armchair critics want their valuable opinions to be heard. So they post on a forum. Maybe the developer's own dedicated virtual chamber or just a general gaming arena of chat and debate. But are the developers actually listening and, more importantly, do ... » Read More

Pro Evolution Soccer handheld details

PSP News | PSP

Dec 13, 2007 Konami has coughed up some details on the portable versions of PES 2008, which is being worked on by Konami's football studio in Tokyo. The PSP game will share a lot of content with the existing PlayStation 2 game (and not the broken bits of the PS3 version) such as a wide range of tournaments and leagues. Full Edit modes are also in there and Master League info can be swapped between the PSP and PlayStation 2 versions, as can League, World Tour and Cup Mode data. On the DS ... » Read More

10 best drinking video games

PSP News | PSP

Dec 13, 2007 Everyone hates a dull holiday party. So, after a very scientific survey involving people raising their hands as we shouted out questions, we've determined that there are two main causes for sucky year-end get togethers. The first is relatives and friends who don't play video games. The second is sobriety. Thus, we here at GamesRadar have set out to eradicate these two poopers of the holiday party. Thanks to some surprisingly enthusiastic lab testing, we've come up with this list ... » Read More

The worst box art of 2007

PSP News | PSP

Designing a box for a game is tough. With one image, you need to stand out on the shelf, catch the eye of the casual consumer and convince them that your game is worth their money. Some games get it wrong; others get it so wrong that potential customers actually recoil in horror. We've all seen terrible old atrocities like Mega Man and Alex Kidd in Miracle World, but don't think for a second that awful cover art is a thing of the past, left behind by a more sophisticated games industry.

PSP News | PSP

Dec 12, 2007 Things will get off to a good start in 2008 for PlayStation gamers, as Sony confirms a promising Q1/Q2 launch line-up. The list from Sony puts Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on track for a Q1 release in the States, while the silky-smooth WipEout HD is penciled in for a more vague "early 08" release. GT5 Prologue will also hit UK PS3s in Q1, while WipEout HD will have a slightly more specific Q2 release. PSP owners should also be looking forward to March, when God of War: Chains of ... » Read More
