First PSP Go review is in [Comments Off]
Seems like IGN’s embargo was lifted earlier today, and thus, the first review of the PSP Go is now in the wild. It’s a 7.3. They certainly don’t love it, but they do like it:
When it comes right down to it, we aren’t exactly sure whether to love or hate the PSPgo. Sony certainly has their heart in the right place — technologically advancing mainstream handheld gaming to a purely digital plateau — but it seems as if the idea wasn’t fully realized when it comes to mainstream viability.
Then they go on about some weird tangent about old UMDs and what not. Boring. While Scott Lowe is whining about “UMD libraries”, I continue to wonder why you would invest in a Go when you have a perfectly functioning PSP. You’re so vain, Scott.

Valkyria Chronicles enlists your Friends: Co-op confirmed [Comments Off]
YES! Welkin and Alicia will be back! Wait, that’s not what we’re supposed to get excited about; “Valkyria Chronicles 2″ will have a co-op and a versus mode, as SEGA just confirmed on the PlayStation.blog.
We are incorporating wireless ad-hoc play into the game, which will feature both co-op and versus modes. We can’t really talk too much about it in detail yet.
I haven’t got the slightest idea how that will work, but that’s why I write a blog and do not design games. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the battlefield is split up into smaller segments? We’ll see.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 is a good idea [Comments Off]
Seems like someone at SEGA is a genius: bringing “Valkyria Chronicles 2″ to the PSP might’ve been their best idea since … wow, that’s a tough one. Publishing Platinum Games stuff, maybe? Anyway, Joystiq went hands on with the game and they walked away impressed:
The mixture of real-time and turn-based combat proves to be an ideal handheld gaming experience, mixing the casual pace of a turn-based game with the excitement of a shooter. Valkyria Chronicles is more about tactics, less about precision aiming — a good thing to consider when adapting a title to Sony’s handheld.
Also, they mention the newly structured battlefield: Due to the limitations of the PSP, the big battlefields from the PS3 brethren have now been divided into a handful of skirmishes going on simultaneously. Intriguing, to say the least.
PSP go comes alive this week, have another look! [Comments Off]
If you were to ask me “what’s new, pussycat?”, I’d be very much inclined to ask you, why on earth you would call me a pussycat, because I am so… not. On the other hand though, I would probably tell you all about this week’s launch of the PSP Go. We’re all about the PSP Go this week. We’ll let you know what’s on the PSN Store, what games are awesome, as well as how, you know, everything goes.
The system comes out on the 1st in the US and on the 2nd of October in Europe. We put together a little gallery so you can take it all in, again.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker gets trailered [Comments Off]
Oh my, Kojima wasn’t kidding, this is classic Metal Gear. The new “Peace Walker” trailer is full of win. The PSP exclusive game is coming 2010 and is being developed by the team that made “Guns of the Patriots”. Except for Ryan Payton. Who is a traitor.
We have the trailer for you after the break. continue reading →
PSP & PSN Wrap up [Comments Off]
Today, in Tokyo, Sony announced that the PSP-3000 SKU will drop in price to $169. I’ve got my eye on picking one up with MGS: Peace Walker.
Also, Lost Planet 2, Ninja Gaiden demo and POWER MOTHER FLIPPING STONE UP ON PSN.
I’m sorry. I feel the need to waste a metric ton of quarters again.
Download the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker demo! [Comments Off]
How’s your Japanese? You just brushed up on it? Good! IGN just decided to make the TGS demo to “Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker” available to their readers. And our readers. Ah, good old hyperlinks. Don’t tell them I sent you, though.
They also have an FAQ going, should your japanese be not up to stuff, or, like mine, non existant. Mushi-mushi!
Kojima explains Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Co-Op Gameplay [Comments Off]
From the trailer itself, it’s very apparent that the PSP destined “Peace Walker” grounds entirely in CO-OP infiltration mode. It states it at every opportunity. Two Snakes using military style shoulder signalling infiltrate an enemy encampment. By just including a second party in the infiltration mode, Kojima has opened wide a large array of tactical and sneaky scenarios to enact with your buddy.
What’s that you say? Your box was spotted? You now have a partner to set off a distraction so that your inevitable spotting doesn’t occur. Two or more guards in a small area? Tranquilize one while the others are turned, knock on two walls with your partner doing the same somewhere else to separate the remaining sentries and take them out silently. How’s that for Tacticle Espionage?
The trailer also shows off a partner mechanic that would make “Army of Two” creators facepalm in the most cranium massaging way. During the Military style shoulder signalling mode, the leader can stand up turning both players into an assault stance. The first player then leads while shooting and the second Snake automatically follows with the task of keeping their six covered.
Now take everything I said and multiply it by two. I’ll be here waiting while you do the math. Done? Four Snakes in one setting, all “co-operating” towards one goal. Without a doubt, “Peace Walker”, as a portable game, will raise the bar in Co-op.
Gamers lucky enough to attend TGS will be able to go hands on with the game. There will be plenty of PSPs running the game on-site, but you will also be able to download the demo to your own PSP. Jealous!
