There are many podcasts on PSP available. Some of them simply share information on the PlayStation Portable and distribute it to people interested in portable gaming. These podcasts serve as news organizations, sharing audio or visual files talking about the PlayStation Portable and speculating about updates to the PSP. The vast majority, however, take advantage of the ability of the PlayStation Portable’s ability to download and play quality videos on the gaming screen. Developers of the program PSP Video 9 first created a program that could change videos from computer types like .avi and .mpeg to the format used by the Play Station Portable.

Once that was done, it was quickly possible to create podcasts for the PSP. Podcasters began creating video
files, changing them to a format readable by the PlayStation Portable, and distributing them by podast feed. These podcast feeds are subscribed to by people interested in the feed, who download the episodes as they come out. After the video files are transfered to the PlayStation Portable, they can be viewed whenever the
end user wishes, just like the other movies and professionally done videos available for the PSP. The PlayStation Portable has thus been changed from simply being a portable gaming platform to a piece of full
featured media hardware capable of playing games, storing information, and playing videos and movies,
moving toward a more complex future.

A couple weeks ago, we posted  our first new look of the saboteur since the game was first shown back in 2007. In this free-roaming WWII game, you play as Sean Devlin, an Irish race car driver on a vengeance quest to sabotage the Nazi stranglehold on Paris.
You can even create skull chrome emblems with combination of this game for your car. Last week we had the chance to chat with lead designer Tom French about the game.

You’ll want to take a look at the video above because Tom’s got quite a few interesting things to say about his project, including some of the locations you’ll visit aside from Paris, how they built the city, and the inspiration behind Sean’s story. As for what we saw, there was a promising amount of character to the game. Cruising around the city in Sean’s racecar leading up to the mission, there was a nice ambience around us, and the way color collides with black and white looks really nice in motion. With any luck, the final game will focus more on the city, its characters, and making you feel like a part of the underground resistance rather than gunning it out at full force. We’re quite eager to see more of it, which should happen right around the corner at E3.

Sometimes, I forgot to take off my work ID lanyards too when playing this game

The PlayStation 3 was launched in North America. There were fourteen titles. Another three were released before and in the end of the year 2006. You will be quite surprised to know that only after one week of sales it was confirmed that it is a hit. All the children were mad and just rushed to the stores to buy one copy of different games for them. These games were definitely praised by the various websites which realized that these games were increasing their PR. Some titles were delayed up till the year 2007.

Hence it is quite clear that this game was a hit. Now I would like to write about some of the latest releases in this series.

They are as follows:

1. Wipeout HD
This is the eighth title in the wipeout racing video game series. It was developed by the Sony Liverpool. They did it for the PlayStation 3 console. You can buy it from any PlayStation store. This is the advanced version of wipeout pure and wipeout pulse. It was released in September 2008. But it was released only in European and the US territories. A month later it was released in Japan.

2. Witches:
Let me tell you that this is an upcoming third person combat game which was developed by Revistronic. You can describe this game as taking place in a completely dark medieval setting and the player has to fight with the hordes of the demons. This game is yet to release but you can definitely feel that the release of this game will definitely be electrifying. There are three female characters which are the Tempest, shadow and the fire. The teaser site has already been released on February 25th 2008 and it has been a hit.

3. WSC Real 09: World Championship Snooker
This might be a breathtaking release. That is why I have written it here. You should certainly keep it in mind. You should make sure that you have one copy as soon as it is being released.

4. WWE Smack Down vs. Raw 2010
It is a professional wrestling video game which has been developed by Yuke’s and then published by THQ for the PlayStation 3. It is the eleventh as well as the current video game as far as the WWE Smack Down vs. Raw 2009 series is concerned. This game deals with the professional wrestling promotion.

After so many complaints that World War 2 is played out, the producers finally got things straight and made a good Call of Duty game based on the modern times. The game is out now and it’s called the Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 2.

Reviews all over the web says is an incredible game, with amazing graphics and terrific audiovisual moments, however they also say that campaign mode of this game is very short. For reference, I’ve completed it in about 6 hours (!), which is quite fast.

One of the reasons of this speed is that, despite the game is in fact very small, Modern Warfare is so good that playing it is like be in the war, but this time, the modern war.

But I wasn’t sad as I finished it, because what the single player have less, the multiplayer will make it up, with up to 16 maps in 6 different game modes to play.

Action!

All action in this game is pretty straightforward, you just have to look at your compass and follow the objective, however don’t be fooled because it’s not just a hit and run game: sometimes is very hard to pass by your enemies (especially when looking for Russian terrorists in farmhouses!).

You will have the opportunity to be a British SAS or an US Marine, so it’s possible to see the story from multiple perspectives and, for the first time, you will have the opportunity to earn some interesting tactical moves for skilled play. For example, if you can kill five opponents without being injured, you can call for an air strike, which takes game play to a whole new level of perfection.

PROS:

Awesome Audiovisual Presentations

Wide choice multiplayer mode

It’s more than just a COD 4 update; it’s a whole new story!

CONS:

It’s too short!

Rating: 9.4 / 10

In Rogue Warrior, lead character Dick “Demo Dick” Marcinko (based on the real-life ex-Navy SEAL, and voiced by actor Mickey Rourke) doesn’t just drop an F-bomb–he drops an entire nuclear warhead of repulsive language that would make even the most world-wise among us reach for a set of earplugs. As depicted in developer Rebellion’s newest first-person shooter, Marcinko is a shallow, potty-mouthed antihero without a single redeeming quality. Unfortunately, the appalling dialogue seems to have inspired Rogue Warrior’s gameplay, which is characterized by useless stealth mechanics, inconsistent hit detection, incredibly linear level design, and abysmal AI. Yet the boring, one-dimensional gameplay and terrible dialogue aren’t the game’s most insulting blemishes; that prize belongs to Rogue Warrior’s total lack of value. You can finish it in just over two hours, and the stripped multiplayer consists only of deathmatch and team deathmatch, yet publisher Bethesda Softworks is asking full price. Don’t be a sucker: Steer clear of this garbage.

You’ll at least sniff one sweet smell amid the stench–that of Rogue Warrior’s momentarily satisfying close-quarters kills. If you get close enough to your enemy (not exactly difficult considering the putrid AI), you can plunge your knife into his back, snap his neck, or smash his head into the wall. The thrill dissipates quickly, however. Every level is linear, and opportunities to sneak up behind your Communist foes are laid out in a predictable manner. There may be three or four enemies milling about at a time, all placed in such a way as to make it a cinch to sneak up behind them and play grim reaper. These easy stealth opportunities are further simplified by the morons you assassinate, who appear to have no peripheral vision and won’t notice you creeping up on them from the most obvious angles. They also appear to be near-deaf; they won’t react to the cries of their nearby comrades as you dump them over a railing, and they won’t notice the sound of your footsteps, even if you’re sprinting at full speed.
