TGS07: PSP Store

You've been waiting for it for so long. You've been wanting it since you got your hands on your little black handheld. And finally, it's here! A PSP Store!

While not as great as its big black brother's store, the PSP Store is open for business accessible via the PC - but only for those lucky Japanese. But, rest assured, the people at PSP-Vault.com didn't sleep for you and me to write a great article on how to navigate through the store. And by the looks of it, there are a lot of things you can start downloading.

Now, when will the rest of us get this?

TGS07: Kingdom Hearts : Birth By Sleep

Been waiting for some Kingdom Hearts news? Me too. But here's what's been released so far in this Square Enix and Disney world. Kingdom Hearts : Birth By Sleep for the PSP.

It may not be Kingdom Hearts III but Birth By Sleep seems to be showing some incredible looking characters. KHIII is a prequel to the KH we love thus far and it seems to tell a story of someone who resembles the recently introduced Zack of Crisis Core. This game, looking to be darker than any of the KH games, will most probably follow the gameplay of its PS2 original.

Anyway, here's the trailer.

TGS07: Devil May Cry 4

Devil May Cry's been around for quite some time and I know there are a lot of followers out there who just can't have enough of DMC. So for those of you who still can't have enough, here's a new DMC4 trailer fresh out of TGS.

TGS07: Home Delayed to 2008

While not entirely suprising, seems like Sony has delayed the release of their 3D online social network service, the PlayStation Home, to spring 2008. It was originally set for released sometime around now or soon but it seems that progress is low. Hope things will go faster or at least have a public beta that will include all PS3 users.

TGS07: Remote Play Adds More Functionality

During Sony's keynote speech at the Tokyo Game Show, Kaz Hirai demonstrated the new use of Remote Play on the PS3 and the PSP. Mainichi Demo was on display to show off the PSP's new functionality. This allows you to switch on and off your PS3 remotely directly from your PSP, allow multiply PSPs to connect as a hub (as seen in the image), play PS3 games on the PSP and have the PSP act as a second screen.

More things will come for the Remote Play functions apparently. Looks like you won't be updating your homebrew PSP if you own a PS3 huh? Unless of course you own more than one PSPs.

TGS07: Metal Gear Online Gameplay

Also, I thought I'd show you what a video of Metal Gear Online from TGS as well. Here's some first look at the PS3's online stealth gameplay.

TGS07: Metal Gear Solid 4 New Trailer

Finally, the Metal Gear Solid 4 new trailer is on the Internet and no one can stop us from watching it! Well, I do hope so.

This trailer was shown at the Tokyo Game Show yesterday and now you can also watch it and enjoy the glorious trailer. Warning though, this shows story elements of the game so if you are a pure MGS follower, you might wanna stay clear of this. Otherwise, us normal people, enjoy!

The Eye Is Watching

Ever since The Eye of Judgment was revealed, I've always been looking forward to Sony's PlayStation Eye - yes, that camera which is so advance than any controller in the world - so far. The PS Eye, I think, is what's finally revolutionizing gaming.

In any case, Sony has released Eye of Judgment press pack which includes a magic cloth, a deck of cards, the PlayStation Eye (ofcourse) and the game. Note, this is only a press pack which means it's only for the press. So expect to read about reviews and videos from journalists around the world.

Anyway, enjoy the following trailer of The Eye of Judgment.

TGS07: Rumbling Is In Again

It shakes, it flips, it swings and now it ruuuuummblllleeeess!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Rumble is officially back looking just like its Sixaxis brother but heavier. Still sporting its sexy black colour, it is now creatively called DualShock 3!!

What? You thought they'd call it SixaShock? I doubt it. Anyway, you PS3 owners should be happy to know that rumble is coming back in November for Japan and next year for the rest of the world. Future games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 will support rumble while current and released games can add rumble support through software update. So, are you ready to rumble?

FFVII: Crisis Core 'Secret Ending'

Gotta love all the videos on Crisis Core that's all over the Internet the moment the game was released - even if it's not world wide. But one video caught my eye the most and left me not just wanting and needing one game, but two. [Note: If you are a pure FF player, you might want to stop reading now.]

Crisis Core secret ending shows a 'to be continued in' ending and I think you've guessed what. Yes, Cloud Strife and Aeris Gainsborough makes an appearance. What does this mean? I hope to God they are making a remake of FFVII because I know that once I've played Crisis Core, I'll want to replay FFVII.

Better on PSP Slim

Seriously, are they calling the PSP Slim PSP-2000? That's just ugly. Why don't they call it the Little PSP? Okay, maybe that's kinda lame. But my opinion doesn't matter really. It's not like the whole population of the world wide web cares what I name it.

Bitterness aside, seems like FFVII: Crisis Core loads waaay faster on the PSP Slim (I refuse to call it PSP-2000) than on the old phat PSP as the following video proves.

FFVII: Crisis Core Cutscene

I can't help but be jealous at the fact that those people called the Japanese got their FFVII: Crisis Core a few days ago. I mean why? What's so special about them? Yeah, they created Final Fantasy - yeah, they made Crisis Core - yeah, they invented the PlayStation... but so what? I want my English version out now!

Anyway, thought I'd share this incredible cutscene from Crisis Core with you guys. Yeah, more videos. A gorgeous one even. What's really happening here anyway?



Btw, if you got yourself the Japanese version (I know some of you are impatient), is this game really extremely gorgeous?

Ninja Gaiden 2 Gameplay

With the recent announcement of Ninja Gaiden 2, an xbox 360 exclusive, screens and videos around the Internet for your eyes to see. I thought I'd share a gameplay video with you guys here. It's still new, not fully polished but looks good nonetheless. Enjoy!

TGS07: Mobile Gaming

Mobile gaming has come a long way today. They're simple, extremely portable and can help you pass the time so easily. Plus, you can easily download games off the Internet via wap and install it in a few easy steps - provided that your phone is compatible with it.

I spend a lot of my mobile credits on downloading games onto my phone - mostly different types of Sudoku really - best game to help move that slow time faster. But, as most of you would've known by now, there are more games out there, games capable of not-so-bad 3D graphics thus pushing memories from kilobytes (that's KBs) to megabytes (that's MBs). Heck, I know some of you are playing MMOs on your mobiles. Because of this, more and momore companies are investing their money into mobile gaming since there is a rapid increase in casual gamers.

At the Tokyo Game Show, Konami, the guys who brought you the Metal Gear series, revealed a number of mobile games which include Metal Gear Solid Mobile, Winning Eleven Mobile 2, Silent Hill: The Escape and Tokimeki Memorial 2 among others. Interested?

New Home Video

New PS3 Home video shows a ton of new things that weren't found in the last one. Seems like the Home Beta is rolling and improving. This is good news for all PS3 owners but hopefully they will allow more people AKA us to join in the fun and be a part of the Beta.

New GT5 Screens

Seems like the Gran Turismo 5 love just keeps pumping. With prologue coming soon, screens of GT5 cars are spreading around the Internet, and man, do they look gorgeous. Cars from Nissan Skyline to Alfa Romeo - and of course, Ferrari series - you are just a step closer to driving your dream car, or heck, even your own car.

Found some new screenshots of GT5 on play.tm. The cars look waaay too real. Hope the prologue comes as a download as well. Anyway, click here to view the screenshots. Happy drooling!

Angel Love Online Trailer

Remember that "free-to-play" MMO I meantioned two posts ago? Well, looks like i managed to find the Japanese trailer on gametrailers. If you like those little cute anime characters, then you'll probably love this. Here's Angel Love Online.

Sexy or Disturbing?

Silent Hill. Silent Hill. Gotta love Silent Hill. Especially those bloody nurse. Who wouldn't think they're hot and sexy? Okay, maybe they can be a bit disturbing but hey, they're also women! They do walk a bit funny though. I wonder why. And that knife. Why do they always carry that? Freaky. And seriously, what's the story with their face? I'm sure behind that covered face is a beautiful looking woman. Then again, I'd rather not know. Y'know what, I'll leave you to enjoy these Silent Hill 4 scans I found from neogaf.

Click here to see the scans.

Free To Play

I'm sure you've heard of Ragnarok Online, that "free to play" online MMORPG that everybody was into awhile back (or are you still in it?). Well, apparently, those guys at Q Entertainment might be bringing a game just like that onto the PS-Store called Angel Love. Like Ragnarok, it will be free to play but watch out for microtransactions for special items.

Currently, plans are only for Japan but if you've got ways to get it, who's stopping you?

Halo 3 Hype Hoedown

Halo 3 is coming and the world will be a better place. Cancer will be cured. A new president will be elected. Or at least that's what those guys at Sarcastic Gamer believe. Check out this funny song.

Fable 2 Gameplay

Peter Molyneux claims that Fable 2's fighting system will be better than Virtual Fighter or Soul Calibur in this video showing Fable 2's gameplay. Personally, I don't care much about it. All I care is to get my hands on Fable 2 as soon as possible. Anyway, enjoy.

Cutest Trailer Ever!

Seems like Oblivion will have to wait for a few minutes. I just saw this and I wanted to post it here. Man, listening to Loco Roco's theme song just brings back those PSP memories. It's just so happy and so cute! You don't get a lot of cute game trailers like this.

Here's a Loco Roco Cocoreccho trailer - yes, that interactive screensaver for the PS3 which you can play like a ... game.

Yakuza 3

Yakuza 3 news have been resurfacing here and there and now we have a trailer. Anyway, I wanna go and play, what else?, Oblivion.

Halo 360

I used to be a huge Halo fan and things like this would make me want to buy this straight away. Well, I still want to get my hands on this if I had the money. Plus, after developments of multiplayer games such as Battlefield and the recent Warhawk (which I have yet to share my experience), multiplayer isn't the same like it used to be anymore. Alas, I'd rather much get an Elite 360 than waste my money on a 20GB 360 featuring a headset, a Spartan green and gold finish and a Play and Charge kit. After all, black is cooler than green and gold.

In anycase, I thought I'd show this here because somehow, a branded console always looks interesting to share.

Still A Bit In The Dark

Dark Sector has been around for quite some time - even before the existence of next-gen consoles. It set itself a PS3 game years ago and seems to stay put even in the long journey. Now that the PS3 is out for almost a year, Dark Sector has yet to show its true potential.

If anyone's been keeping up with the next-gen console developments, they'll also have seen the development and huge changes in the gameplay and environments of Dark Sector. Here's a trailer to show how it looks like now and what they promise to be once Dark Sector is released.
