Sony PSP's GPS satnav and Sky TV downloads

Your PSP is more than just for games and movies. There are more to it.


Your PSP is moving towards 'personal media players' rather than 'gaming' only. Sony's determined to expand its handheld's non-gaming capabilities. And this will differentiate itself from the rest and command a premium over the rest of the competitors.

You might have heard about its Go!Messenger VoIP project with BT, but Sony has also just unveiled plans for a satnav add-on, as well as on-demand TV downloads from Sky.

The satnav package is called Go!Explore, and offers navigation for cars and pedestrians in eleven different languages. The maps will be upgradeable, and you'll be able to buy Points Of Interest data from Sony's PlayStation Network, with "other exciting Wi-Fi features" coming in the future. I'm guessing that might be live traffic data.

Meanwhile, there'll also be a Go!-branded video downloads service in partnership with Sky, allowing you to grab sports, films, entertainment and music shows to watch on your PSP. Sky is aiming to work with other broadcasters to make their content available too.

Embrace yourself with more goodies from Sony....

PSP Games: MLB 07 - The Show

Publisher: SCEA
Developer: SCEA-San Diego
ESRB: E
# of Players: 1-2 Players
Category: Sports
Release Dates
N Amer - 02/27/2007

MLB 07 comes out swinging with enhanced batting and pitching options. Last year’s goodies are back – you swing by pressing one of the face buttons and can influence that swing’s direction by moving the left analog stick. Pitching is still based on a timing mechanism that involves two precise actions for the best possible throw.

Out on the field players will discover that, to pass the ball more effectively, they can hold the throw button (X) to increase their power. The length of your hold determines how hard the ball will be thrown. A circular meter appears around the player and grows to show how much power has been created.

The natural reaction might be to hold the button for a bit every time. But there’s a risk that’ll keep you from going crazy – hard throws are unstable. You can’t guarantee that a hard throw won’t fly off course, which would be far more damaging.

On the batting end, players can still predict the pitch and where it will land. The combination is hard to master, but the intuitive controls and high-speed Game Play will keep you hooked regardless.

PSP Games: Top Choices

PSP GAMES: TOP CHOICES TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge Developer: Sumo Digital Publisher: Codemasters "You'll need dedication, patience and skill to get the most of TRD3 Challenge," we said in our review back in March and nothing has changed since. This isn't a game for those whose idea of racing is to approach corners with the finger firmly on the accelerator button and simply flick the analogue nub (or D-pad) violently to one side. If that's not you, you'll love the wide range of vehicles and remarkable balance of 'playable reality' on offer here.
The Warriors Developer: Rockstar Leeds Publisher: Rockstar Adapted from a cult 1979 film (and previously available on consoles), this is an often brutal gang-based action adventure that sees you fighting your way across New York's meanest streets. Thankfully, the third-person combat system is as tough as they come, which combined with a hugely atmospheric setting, superlative production values and seemingly endless variety makes this a supremely entertaining experience all PSP-owning adults (this is 18-rated) should try.
Metal Slug Anthology Developer: SNK Playmore Publisher: Ignition Seven games from SNK's gorgeous, delightfully playable 2D side-scrolling shooter series may sound like a recipe for broken PSP buttons as a result of the relentless use they'll endure. For us, though, it sounds like the UMD to have with you at all times. Because despite the odd irritating flaw as a result of the conversion process, there is little on Sony's handheld that can match this for a quick, gratifying dose of shoot-'em-up goodness.
Sega Mega Drive Collection Developer: Digital Eclipse Publisher: Sega Granted, not all of the 27 impeccably converted games crammed into this UMD are classics, but the majority do represent a selection of the most popular titles to appear on Sega's old 16-bit console. From various examples of the Sonic The Hedgehog, Phantasy Star, Golden Axe and Ecco the Dolphin series, to Columns, Virtua Fighter 2 and Shinobi III, this is one of the strongest retro compilations to have appeared on any system.
Tony Hawk's Project 8 Developer: Page 44 Studios Publisher: Activision Console owners may be sick of the Hawkster tuning up on a yearly basis, but on PSP his appearances have to date been far less frequent. As a result, when a skateboarding game as delicately crafted and compelling as this rolls along, it's impossible (and, indeed, unfair) to ignore it. Crucially, Project 8 nails the control mechanism and then follows that with a ridiculous amount of depth through a multitude of mini-goal based missions. It's emerged as one of the year's most absorbing games.
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters Developer: High Impact Games Publisher: Sony Taking a much-deserved vacation from their adventures on PlayStation 2, Ratchet and Clank turn up on PSP only to find themselves needing to embark on a mysterious quest involving a kidnapped girl and forgotten race of genius inventors. Cue the franchise's many weapons and gadgets, which together with the relentless destruction, pleasing variety, and tonnes of content results in one of the handheld's best action adventure experiences to date.
Sid Meier's Pirates! Developer: Full Fat Publisher: 2K Games An update of the classic 1987 strategy-led adventure, whose open-ended mechanic gives you the freedom to amass fame, fortune, land, political power and treasure as you roam around the Gulf Coast, Caribbean and South America, making both friends and enemies. It's a glorious mix of exploration, mutinies, duelling and sea-battle mini-games, charming and humourous cut-scenes, supported by the kind of sturdy game design even the most determined cannonball can't dent.
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Developer: Kojima Productions Publisher: Konami Although out in the US in 2006, Portable Ops qualifies for inclusion here due to the ridiculous five-month wait European gamers had to endure for the game to arrive in our continent. Specifically, it qualifies for inclusion here in such a high position because it's excellent – a clever and brilliantly designed stealth-based action title that remains true to the essence of past MGS games while introducing a host of new elements, not least one of the strongest multiplayer aspects yet seen on PSP.

Read about this news from playstatic.com but this is not verified:

Sony to support homebrew on PSP? Posted in PSP, Rumors, General by Aert on July 27th, 2007 at 20:51 While Sony is struggling to keep the PSP firmware secure to prevent homebrew software, they might actually start supporting these home made applications in the future. According to Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, the PSP homebrew crowd has delivered some fine work in the past and they’d like to tap into that a little more. Tretton said that he thinks that homebrew is something that is in the works. He has seen some of the stuff that has been created and it’s incredibly creative and that he’d like to tap into that a little more. Dave Karraker, senior director of corporate communications with SCE jumped in however and said that there are several problems with homebrew software of which viruses and malicious software created by dirty hackers are a few of them...

If this is true, it will create a big stir in the gaming. Certainly, I believe it will boost the PSP sales to skyrocketing. Probably another bullet aiming at Nintendo. After losing the position to Nintendo, Sony really cannot sit back and relax. In fact, they had been caught off guard by Nintendo. They never expect Nintendo could stage such coupe..

PSP Games - Alien Syndrome Shipped

Find out about Free PSP Game Downloads.

Alien Syndrome

This is sci-fi coop RPG action game. The version for PSP has shipped to retailers. You either like it very much or hate it very much. The Games made full use of the Wii-mote and Nunchuk.

The story is rather straight forward: Earth Command Trooper Alieen Harding, is tasked with the seemingly impossible mission of wiping out legions of aliens and their oversized bosses. I’m almost convinced that it would be too much of a cliche to actually say how cliche the storyline is. So I’m not going to.

Anyway, the game features “light” crafting that allows players to create new items or upgrade existing tools and weapons. Players will also have access to the SCARAB, which works as a sidekick that can be upgraded alongside Aileen, and pulls double duty as a vendor for purchasing or upgrading equipment.

Speaking of equipment, Alien Syndrome comes jam-packed with 20 different weapon types for players to wield against 100 different alien species. Some of these weapons include flamethrowers, shotguns, spreading projectiles and much more.

To round things out, the PSP version of Alien Syndrome is Wi-Fi enabled to support up to four-players cooperatively. You can visit Sega’s Official Website for more information or check your local retailer for Alien Syndrome, which carries a $49.95 price tag for the Wii and a $39.95 price tag for the PSP.

PSP Game News: Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops PSP

Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops PSP expansion announced

Currently Japan Only

Product:	Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops+
Developer:	Kojima Productions
Publisher:	Konami
Genre:	Action, Shooter, Strategy
by João Diniz Sanches

Konami has used the PlayStation Premier event currently going on in Tokyo to reveal that an expansion to the hugely popular MGS Portable Ops (shown above) is on its way.

Called Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops+, the game is said to offer new levels and characters, and will be primarily concerned with the online play side of things. However, an all-new single-player mode, Infinity Mission, is also promised.

Due for Japan on September 20th (the day the new PSP is launched in the region), the game will apparently cost just Y2,400 (£9.60) in standalone version, or Y4,300 (£17) when bundled with the original Portable Ops.

There is no word of a Western version at this stage but it's obviously a possibility. We'll bring you more details with regards to the gameplay implications of the expansion's additions as soon as we get them, although we suspect they may be minimal – Japanese expansions of this sort tend to be conservative in their approach (a notion that is perhaps further supported in this inst
