I’ve just posted my review of the PSP Go over at Gizmag. If you’ve already invested in the PSP platform, I’m not sure if the Go will appeal, but it’s a likely choice for people who don’t mind paying a premium for downloadable games (and sweet hardware). Check it out.
PSP Go Review [Gizmag]
One of the big E3 games that have gotten some more information was Metal Gear Solid. Although it’s not Metal Gear Solid 5, Peace Walker is set for the PSP. The game itself takes place in the 1970s which is ten years after MGS3. I will admit that graphically it’s not PS3 caliber, but I can imagine this game being so big that it would also make it to the PS2.
Here are some images from the E3 Trailer.
PlayStation.blog brings news of this cute Clank figure. Unfortunately, in order to get one, you’ll need to pre-order Secret Agent Clank at a GameStop, or stoop to checking eBay and paying for one if you’re outside the US.
GelaSkin, famous for making protector cases for iPods, phones and laptops featuring unique artwork from a wide range of artists, are now making cases for the DS and PSP. PSP GelaSkins include matching wallpaper for a seamless look. More designs after the jump.
Sony has unveiled a $199.99 God of War PSP bundle, dubbed the God of War PSP Entertainment Pack. Here’s the contents:
The downside? You’ll have to wait until June 3 to get it, despite God of War: Chains of Olympus hitting shelves on March 4.
Pre-orders are now available at Amazon
SuperVillian Studios has officially announced their PSP port of That Game Company’s amazing PSN title fl0w will be released on March 6. Interestingly, price is yet to be announced - perhaps Sony recognize that this will make or break the port in terms of sales. Despite loving fl0w on the PS3, I’d be hesitant to spend any more than $2.50 on a portable version.

Japanese PSP owners will be disappointed to hear that they will not be using Skype this month, while the rest of the world does. The plug was pulled at the last minute, due to a problem with the PSP microphone peripheral.
While Sony Japan had originally prepared two first-party PSP compatible mic packages, they had failed in checking if the microphones actually met the Skyhpe specifications necessary for certification. As PSP users in North America and the rest of the world are using the PSP headset as the standard input device, they are not affected by this little blunder.

We are so used to classic compilations consisting of three or four shoddily ported games, and costing an arm and a leg - but not so with SNK Arcade Classics: Volume 1, bringing 16 awesome SNK games to the PS2 and PSP. There is plenty of variety in this pack with games ranging from 2D platformers to fighters to sports games. The best fix we have on a release date is the first half of this year. Check after the jump for a full list of the games.
February 28 sees the release of yet another color PSP-2000 for the Japanese market - Mint Green. Personally, I like my portable systems like I like my T-shirts - black - but those who feel otherwise (and live in Japan) can get their hands on one of these for ¥19,800, or just over USD$181.
Just when you thought you couldn’t love your PSP any more…
