Dante’s Inferno is available at last for PS3, XBox 360 and PSP, but who really dares?
In Dante’s Inferno, players assume the role of Dante as he travels on an epic descent through Dante Alighieri’s nine circles of Hell – limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Players assume the role of Dante, who descends into Hell after returning home to find his beloved Beatrice murdered, with Lucifer seducing her soul into the underworld. His mission is to save Beatrice, but he soon realizes he is also in Hell to face his own demons and ultimately to redeem himself.
To take down the demons of Hell, Dante is outfitted with two primary weapons: the Scythe he takes from Death and the Holy Cross given to him by Beatrice, which has spiritual powers that will help Dante collect souls and spells from the creatures he defeats on his journey. The game also features a deep upgrade system so gamers can customize their abilities to their specific gameplay style. Each circle showcases its own distinct look, with demons, monsters, damned and geography that are crafted straight from the poem’s vivid descriptions.

Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines played a PSP-3000. Both included in the PlayStation Portable 3000 Limited Edition Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines Entertainment PSP Pack
Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines on PSP is the first Assassin’s Creed game on the PSP. It follows the story of Altair right after the events of Assassin’s Creed as Altair tracks down the last Templars who fled the Holy Land and retreated to the Island of Cyprus. The world of the assassin is one cloaked in shadow and steeped in danger. Ensnared in a web of revenge and conspiracy, the assassin embraces power at its most elemental, acting as the dividing line between life and death. As an assassin confronted by perilous new challenges and difficult choices, what path will you choose?
Bloodlines Features Integrated with Those of Assassin’s Creed II
Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines contains several bonus features integrated with the PlayStation 3 version of Assassin’s Creed II through a USB link between the two systems. Players who own both games can collect “Templar Coins” in Bloodlines and exchange them for Assassin’s Creed II currency, as well as collect weapons from defeated targets and play with those same weapons in Assassin’s Creed II. Through that same USB connectivity, blade and health upgrades found in Assassin’s Creed II can be transferred to Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines, making for the ultimate Assassin’s Creed gaming experience on both platforms.
2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
With 2GB of memory, the compact Memory Stick PRO Duo allows you to save your PlayStation Network downloads, as well as store your videos, photos, music and more.
The PSP Pack comes for US $ 199, if you dare to face Altair’s dangers!
Rockstar first teased us by releasing its top-down GTA on the Nintendo DS. Then they redeemed themselves by bringing it to the PSP, even though it is almost a year late. But Rockstar is doing a lot to ensure that PSP owners don’t feel left out, and to offset claims that this release is simply a rushed port meant to cash in on the franchise.
First of all, some of the basic content of the game has been improved. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars PSP features enhanced graphics, with more polygons, proper lighting effects and a minimap that can display on the same screen as the action. There are also six new instrumental radio stations, taking advantage of the additional storage available on the PSP format. Finally, more supplementary minigame content like Rampgaes have been added to the game outside of the main storyline.
There will also be more story missions in the PSP version of Chinatown Wars. So far, Rockstar has revelaed details about one exclsuive mission called “Factory Fun”. This extended mission is very similar to one in San Andreas called “Are You Going to San Fierro?” Factory Fun invlolves infiltrating a warehouse drug operation and destroying the crops, all while protecting a documentary filmmaker who comes along just to make your life more complicated.
This new character is named Melanie Mallard, an aspiring journalist and documentary filmmaker who becomes involved in the action while doing a story on the city’s Triad gang. Melanie has made a deal with Chan Jaoming to get a behind-the-scenes look at his business, hoping to get the scoop on a major story. Hard-headed and sassy, with shades of April O’Neil, Melanie is sure to be a constant annoyance to Huang.
The Crash Bandicoot: WARPED series has once again returned to the system in which it began its lifespan. This series has always been one of my favorites ever since the original had come out and it had bestowed its head in the video game world. In time a sequel was made, but people constantly asked this question. Was is it any different then the previous one? Was it any different as to have full expectations of a great game right out of the get-go? Unfortunately, the answer was no. Both of these games were alike, and shared many of the things that one had just in a different way. But Naughty Dog (creators of this coveted series) thought of changing that with the sequel. You see, the first Crash suffered liabilities of ever being fun, and its replay value was really low. As for the second one, while it was fun it was however, too easy, too linear, and like the past one it had little to no replay value. So as for the third mark in the series one could’ve easily have easily told from the beginning that this game was going to be fun, challenging, enjoying, and with high replay value. So as one will eventually see the game follows in every mark mentioned, except for one, and that’s its challenge. But with great and zany puzzles Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped still feels and still acts like a winner.
Crash Bandicoot: WARPED begins right were the other one left off. After his plan backfired yet again, Neo Cortex was losing power. Unfortunately, a pile of debris had hit a mountaintop and out came a villain hell-bent on world destruction. His name was Uka Uka. Uka Uka is a mask portrayal of a powerful demon and this powerful demon is the brother to the other ancient mask: Aku Aku. Aku Aku is a great friend of Crash Bandicoot and his sister Coco (in fact he’s that little mask who gave you a chance to continue after you got hit in the past games). Uka Uka then learns that Cortex has failed him too many times. He is mad that he never brought Crash Bandicoot down, and that he never had a chance to become ruler of the world. So upon knowing this Uka Uka makes his own plan. He gets a machine that will plan to “somehow” destroy the world. For this machine to be powered up it needs 25 crystals, of which have been stirred and strewn through time. Then Cortex and Uka Uka get a time machine and then they go off to get the crystals. Back at Crash’s house, Aku Aku tells them of the power of his evil brother, and then all three of them go to the time machine and all three hope to get all of the crystals.
Sony’s new handheld device – PSP Go released date is October 1, 2009 and this new PSP Go price is around US $249: maybe one of the most awaited portable console of all time!
For giving Playstation portable fans an overall understanding of this Sony’s new product, after carefully analysing and shifting correlative collect data, I will share some Sony PSP Go features here.
As mentioned by Playstation.com, below is the best generalize of the new PSP Go’s key-features:
Go Bigger 16GB flash memory
Go Smaller The most portable PSP® ever
Go Digital The most immersive portable games, anytime, anywhere
Go Versatile Games, music, movies, internet and more
Go Anywhere Your content, fitting your lifestyle
Go Bigger
The PSP Go will feature no UMD drive, instead relying on its 16 gig internal memory drive so that gamers may directly download games onto the Go.
Go smaller
Well, there’s no doubt the Go is a desirable bit of kit. The sliding control panel, sharp screen and build quality are all impressive. Also the thumb stick on the Go is smaller, more accurate and generally more satisfying to use than the one on the standard PSP 3000. Plus the Go is far lighter to lug around than the 3000. Of course, you’d expect this being download only but it does make you more inclined to carry the thing around. It’s no iPhone/iPod Touch but it does at least fit more snugly in a pocket than the PSP 3000.
Go Digital
Those buying a PSP Go from October 1 will be able to download a free copy of Gran Turismo before the 10th.
Being a huge fan of Resistance: Fall of Man, I fired up Resistance Retribution, and gave the third person shooter an extended workout. Thanks to the Go’s crisp and screen, gameplay was smooth (even outdoors).
With a decent set of headphones audio was utterly solid and the Go’s sensible control layout and hand-friendly form-factor also meant that long bouts of gameplay caused little discomfort.
Go Versatile
Another killer PSP feature also present in the Go is PS3 integration. All existing interoperability between the PS3 and the PSP range is still supported which means that Remote Play can be used to access audio video and some game content from my PS3 wirelessly. Even better still I’m able to pair my wireless PS3 controller with the PSP for extra fine control.
Whilst some gadget blogs have criticised the PSP Go for being more of a PSP 1.5 rather than a PSP2, the PSP Go delivers a bunch of significant refinements to a portable platform that’s already pretty solid having sold tens of millions of units worldwide and is backed by an incredibly rich games ecosystem.
Go Anywhere
The Go’s more pocketable size and crispy bright TFT screen also makes it a smoking media machine. Boasting the same support for music, video, and photo files as with earlier PSPs, The formats supported by the Go read like a who’s who of digital media formats (MPEG-4, H.264, AAC, AVI, Motion JPEG, ATRAC, MP3, .Wav, WMA, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF and last but by no means least PNG).
Sony has just announced its Granturismo PSP EntertainmentPack that will go to retail channels on October 20th for $199.99.
Sony talked about the game during its E3 press conference and the first rumors appeared in November of last year.
Here’s what’s in the box:
Mystic Silver PSP-3000 system
Gran Turismo PSP game on UMD
PlayStation Network downloadable voucher for a white Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, a color not available in the game and is exclusive to this entertainment pack
2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
PlayStation Network downloadable movie voucher – title TBD
Sony Music Pass voucher good for 10 downloadable songs – available to U.S. residents only
The Largest Army of Super Heroes is Back! The highly anticipated sequel to 2006’s Marvel:Ultimate Alliance—heralded as the best Marvel Super Hero game of all time, and selling more than 4 million units worldwide—is finally here with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Inspired by the acclaimed Marvel Civil War storyline, this action-RPG delivers once again on a colossal cast of characters, thrilling gameplay and impassioned alliances. This next-gen gaming experience leaves the fate of the Marvel Universe—and humankind—in your hands.
Activision has confirmed that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is currently being prepped for release on PS3, PSP, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii and DS.
There’s also a treat waiting for hardcore Marvel fans who get the game: a cameo from legendary comic book creator Stan Lee. Lee apparently lent his voice and likeness to an unrevealed yet significant character in the game.
“I am thrilled to be making my first onscreen videogame cameo in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2,” said Lee. “It’s such a kick to see characters that I’ve helped create come to life in the game and now I’m a part of the Marvel videogame universe!”
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2’s plot? The Marvel Universe is being torn apart. The Superhuman Registration Act becomes law and Super Heroes must register as weapons of mass destruction, becoming licensed government agents. As Civil War is stirred, Iron Man leads the Pro-Registration side while Captain America spearheads the stand on Anti-Registration. The enemies you battle and the missions you accomplish depend on which side you choose.
Considering the original LocoRoco stands as one of the best games on PSP – arguably one of the best on any console, in fact – we’re not questioning the arrival of LocoRoco 2. Certainly, the series is among gaming’s most distinctive in terms of a style that has uniqueness stamped all over its Teletubby-bright visuals and diverse nursery rhythm-style chanting tunes.
So there should be no disagreement over the fact that LocoRoco 2 offers more of the same. In fact, the starring characters – the charming LocoRoco themselves – remain exactly the same as before.
Like its predecessor, LocoRoco 2 gets you to use the PSP’s shoulder buttons to tilt its world left and right to guide a friendly blob through a series of pleasingly colourful cartoon mazes. As before, the blobs sing at intervals, split up to negotiate narrow passageways or swirl away on the wind, but this time you can also commandeer special little vehicles. Its essence is the same, though, and provides a joyously simple and beguiling walk in the park for dabblers, while those who like to court repetitive strain injury will uncover myriad secret tunnels leading to an array of increasingly hard to find collectibles. Appealing in the extreme.
The levels in LocoRoco 2 are instantly familiar if you played the original game. And if you did, you have the immediate advantage of knowing that the big snouted Chuppa is going to suck you up and spit you into the air, that secrets lie through evaporating walls everywhere, and that little waving MuiMui men are sleeping in hidden rooms throughout every level waiting to greet you with a new piece of furniture for your MuiMui house. (If you didn’t, don’t worry, this will all make sense after spending a little time in LocoRoco land.)
If there’s one PSP game you should be playing it’s LocoRoco 2.
Any video game whose charm can intoxicate you more comprehensively than countless shots of Baileys should be considered both compulsive and essential.
Rock Band Unplugged creates a full band experience in the palm of your hand by combining traditional beat match gameplay with key elements from both Rock Band and Rock Band 2, such as overdrive and chords. Your hands are the “peripherals” in Rock Band Unplugged allowing you to take direct control of the lead/bass guitars, drums and vocals.
In addition, players can expect a rich Rock Band experience with fully functional modes like World Tour, Band Survival and Warm Up and a robust character creator for full customization! Rock Band Unplugged features over 40 master-recordings including nine brand new, exclusive songs for the PSP system for a limited time!
