Sony PSP2 (NGP) Vs. Nintendo 3DS. Specs and More

Image
For those following and into portable gaming, there is a another portable gaming war coming, and just like before.  They involve Sony: the makers of the Playstation Portable (PSP) system and Nintendo: the creators of the Nindento DS.  Who won that battle? My personal opinion would suggest that PSP did win the battle against Nintendo DS.  Now on to round 2.  Sony's big contender is the PSP2 codename NGP, short for Next Generation Portable versus Nintendo's 3DS.  The following diagram shows their features compared.  It is really what you consider better features what will decide the champion between these two monsters of portable gaming.  Sony PSP2(NGP) Nintendo 3DS 3G functionality 3.02 inch touch-screen display 320x240 resolution Front and, Rear camera Three cameras: two on outer casing, one above top screen Capacitive Rear touch pad Multi touch pad Touch-screen / D-pad / 360-degree Motion sensor Built-in microphone Lithium i...

Bulletstorm: Get ready for an awesome new first person shooter!

Bulletstorm is a new title coming February 22nd, 2011 published by Electronic Arts. It was developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games, the people who have brought us Gears of War, Painkiller and the Unreal Tournament series. The game takes place in the future where an elite military unit named Dead Echo crash lands on a planet of mutant cannibals and man-eating plants. The only way off is to fight their way through them all! There's a great forum for Bulletstorm that has tons of info about the game including videos and tips on how to play. They also have a great Bulletstorm wiki that you can use to look up how to perform the over 140 skillshots in the game. Skillshots are the unique ways to kill your enemies in Bulletstorm. There are going to be two modes in the game aside from the single player campaign: Echo Mode and Anarchy Mode. In Echo mode, you play the game competing with other players online to try and achieve the highest score. In Anarchy mode, you team u...

The PSP2 has been Revealed - NGP Release Date

Image
The wait is officially over and the time for rumors and speculation has finally come to a very welcomed end. Sony’s new portable device has been officially announced to the public. Many assumed that the portable would be named after its predecessor, the PSP, but as of now the device has been given a code name, the NGP .

Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! PSP Review Dood

I think this game is much the same as the first one. Very hard and frustrating sometimes like the review person says. Nevertheless the graphics and all the other innovations is what makes me want to play Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties regardless.

Haruhi Suzumiya Goes To PSP Game

I just found out on GT.com. I know the video looks kinda melancholic right? seems really nice for those who have been watching, and loving the anime of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya like I have, to get exited about this game coming out for the PSP and PS3. The game itself is going to be called " The Reminiscences of Haruhi Suzumiya ." Published and developed by Namco Bandai games... One thing though, I really do not know whether it will only be a Japanese release, still yet to have a date set.

NOVA Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance PSP Gameplay

I do think N.O.V.A. Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance is at the same level of Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty, and so many other first person shooters. The only advantage here is that NOVA is for the PSP. I still have yet to get used to fighting monsters. Here they gathered up killed me, I will be more careful next time. Nice game guys :)

MOZOX Space Salvager PSP Gameplay

Not the greatest shooting game, but it helps kill some time.

Numba PSP Gameplay & My High Score

Great little game involving number and chains of numbers. Can anyone beat my high score seen at the end there?

Legends of War Patton's Campaign PSP

Legends of War: Patton's Campaing is a great action, tactic, war game. What I really like about this game is the controls: Really extensive, you will be using the full potential of the PSP buttons and pad and joystick. I have just started playing and so here in the video is the beginning of the first mission. Great tutorial intro just to get you ready combat. Amazing game :)

Neo Geo Station Metal Slug PSP

I had trouble recording the sound for this video, and the action seems a bit slower than usual compared to the arcade. Maybe it had to do with the software I used. Metal Slug for the PSP here was recorded using Remotejoy lite. Great shooting game I highly recommend :)

Monsters Probably Stole My Princess PSP

This here is stage 2 from the game. Goal is to hit the monster 3 times before he reaches the top. So you have to hurry climbing, you get points when stepping on the platforms, but avoid landing on them twice, your combo starts over. Here on the video I almost lost. :) Fun mini for PSP :)

I Must Run - PSP minis - Gameplay Video

Nice mini game to play. Unfortunately I did not get very far. Not even past the first phase of jumping though buildings. The second is to jump from trains. Here in I must run for the PSP, you have the ability to run (of course) default, don't need to do anything, but you will need to be able to rightly time your jumps to avoid falling. also, you can double jump for long jumps in between buildings. You can also punch to get rid of the obstacles in your way, and slide, which is not necessary for the first level seen here in my video. I hope you like playing this game. Cheers :)

Mahjong Solitaire - PSP minis Gameplay

I am not good at this game! Nooo! at this rate time will run out and still have to match many of the figure pieces. ah! I really do have have a problem figuring out some of the graphics in this game. Should had been more fun if the edges were more defined. Well, I know there are lots of fans for Mahjong Solitaire. Good luck playing :)

Hive Sweeper PSP minis Game Video

If you ever played mine sweeper, then you will be very familiar with this game. I have never got interested in playing minesweeper when I first got my pc with windows games before, so it is not one of my preferred games to play, but it sure helps to kill time.

SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals, Fireteam Bravo 3, Exclusive Story Development Video

Image
Amazing how detailed this game seems to be. The graphics are super well done. I think I have not been the biggest fans of this series, but played a few titles from before.

Arcade Air Hockey & Bowling PSP minis Gameplay Video

2 games in one. Bowling is a bit hard for me cause I am not very accurate using the joystick on the PSP. It is also the same as air hockey, but somehow I find it a bit easier to win on air hockey. Great games nonetheless :)

Fly Fu - Playing PSP minis

Ready to kick some insects butt? Really funny game, love the moves of this kung fu fly. but I don't understand the story very much. haha!

Fort Commander II: Counterattack PSP minis Video

Nice small tactics game, but more than tactics its a game of speed. If you do not hurry and place those units on the map you are not likely to succeed in conquering the enemy's territory. I think the best strategy for Fort Commander 2 is to place a bunch of workers first for funding and creating new better units for defensive purposes. This video here shows the basic mode, but there are other modes to play. Have fun :)

Neo Geo Station Fatal Fury On The PSP

I think this game introduced some well known characters from the King of Fighters (KOF) series. Terry Bogard and the other 2: Joe and Andy.  I liked Fatal Fury when it first came out. Although I think it was launched as competition to the Street Fighter II arcade game. Of course Capcom was the champion back then. Now on the PSP I can play the old Fatal Fury, but seems a bit slow here!

Flying Hamster PSP - Video Gameplay

This cute hamster can fly and spit all sorts of things to the enemies! Quite a fun shooter game. the graphics here are very well done. I love this the Flying Hamster for the PSP mini :)

Caterpillar PSP

I think its safe to say that you won't be seeing me playing this game again.  I just think its very poor on fun factor.  The only thing that is attractive about this game is seeing the cute caterpillar at the game intro. 

Carnivores Dinosaur Hunter PSP Video

Maybe I am not good at this types of games. Was it me or the it cheated me, I mean those did look like straight shots to me, yet no kill. The first person walks very slow. It would have been better if he was able to run. Well, I will probably keep playing this until i get the hang of it.

Age Of Zombies - PSP mini Gameplay Video

Let the zombie killing spree begin. Either you kill them or they come and make you their lunch. lol. This is a great mini for the PSP. I only wish the story mode had been a little longer. There is also a survival mode which is endless and the zombies never finish appearing. You are a mercenary and shoot them with your gun, and once in a while you are able to pick up extra weapons like: granades, SMGs, Shot Gun, Rifle, Flamethowers, etc... You will need to move and shoot the zombies at the same time. Most of the time the zombies are just too overwhelming in numbers. Use a granades or bazooka to kill a bunch at the same time. Have fun! :D

Archibald's Adventures - minis For PSP

Great mini PSP game here.  I like the quick stages, use your brain to figure out a way to the exit door without dieing much.  Timing is essential.  I cleared 2 stages here, but lost 2 lives.  ohhh! lol

Auditorium PSP mini Gameplay

This game is a combination in music and puzzle,  It does very well too.  I enjoy playing auditorium for the PSP.  Here shown is a basic video of how to play.  Simple at first but gets more complex once you advance through the game, and unlock new sounds.  Good luck :)

Ace Armstrong Vs Alien Scumbags - Playstation Portable Gameplay

One of the less interesting mini PSP game I have played. It is quite hard too, well I think not because of the aliens you fight here, but the buildings. they are not in the background but in the same stage where you are so if you go to them you crash. boo hoo.. he's space ship is not that small so it will be easy to avoid them, so your playable space is very limited. That is all I have to say about Ace Armstrong Vs Alien Scumbags. Cheers :D

Zenonia PSP mini Gameplay Video

I rarely see an RPG in a PSP mini category. That is what makes this game stand out. I have just started playing. I can compare Zenonia game with much like one of those RPG games produced in the late 90s. Very awesome for RPG gamers!

Zuma PSP mini - Gameplay

Very addicting puzzle game! Basic goal of the game is to make the different color balls explode by placing them next to each other (three needed for explosion to occur) and prevent for the row line reach the hole at the end. If the the first ball of the line reaches the hole, then you lose a life, and need to start the stage over. If you run out of lives, then its game over.

Gravity Crash Portable - Gameplay Video

Its like "asteroids" but very much upgraded. Awesome shooter :D

Apache Overkill PSP - Gameplay Video

Young Thor PSP mini - Video Footage

Nice adventure game!

Bejeweled 2 PSP - Video Footage

I first enjoyed bejeweled at facebook, Now on the PSP. Its one of the most addicting puzzle games I have played. 

Actual Crimes: Jack The Ripper - PSP

Simple game, yet mysterious! need to read a lot of text here!

4x4 Jam PSP mini - Gameplay Video

Good racing game! I still have to get used to its dynamics, but very much fun!
