EA to stop online support for six PSP games


Starting September 1st, EA will officially shut down servers for the following online-enabled PSP titles:
  • FIFA Soccer 06
  • FIFA World Cup 2006
  • Fight Night Round 3
  • Madden NFL 06
  • NBA Live 06
In addition, Need for Speed Most Wanted will go offline starting November 1st. It looks like those of you that need an online racing fix might need to consider an alternative (like Test Drive Unlimited?). Unfortunately, it's commonplace for games to lose online support after a few years. Considering EA's love of making their franchises annual, it seems like they're really urging you to buy a new version of one of their products.

New Need for Speed Carbon video released


I gotta admit the Need for Speed franchise has come a long, long way since I first played it on the Playstation. I can still remember its god-forsaken turning sensitivity that just about drove me crazy. Thankfully, those days are long gone, and the series is still going strong, which is proven by the upcoming release of Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City.

While the video is light on gameplay, it does show what appears to be the game's cutscenes that may have been stolen borrowed from the Twisted Metal series. It also sheds some light on the story line.

In the game, players must take control of their rivals' territories by outracing them. But watch out because you'll also have to keep an eye out for the "fuzz" who are always looking to spoil the fun. Carbon ships Nov. 1.

Sega sends us Deep Fried goodness


Sega's support of the PSP so far has been pretty pathetic in the US. But that looks like it's all about to change. We're excited about their upcoming games, though: Sega Genesis Collection and Sonic Rivals being their two most noteworthy titles heading to our system. Today, they announced a partnership with Vancouver-based Deep Fried Entertainment to work on PSP games. We don't know what they're working on, but the staff has worked on games such as MDK2, NFL Gameday, Baldur's Gate, and the Need for Speed: Underground series. Having a team dedicated to the PSP is a great idea: it means we'll see more games from Sega, and that's always a good thing.
