Turn your PSP into a Pokedex

Posted Jun 7th 2007 12:30AM by Steven Bailey
Filed under: Homebrew

For Pokefanatics not content with book versions of the Pokedex, or the in-game version, there is a homebrew for you -- assuming you have a PSP, of course. Xandu has created the PokedexPSP and its aim is simple: it allows you to view the Pokedex on your PSP. Find out where you can discover a Snorlax, or the gender ratio of Bulbasaurs in the game. Don't get too excited though, there are a few issues with the PokedexPSP. First off, it only has 386 Pokemon from Fire Red and Leaf Green, so it won't be suitable as a guide for newer Diamond and Pearl games. Also, the program still has to have a few Beedrills to be ironed out. It has no search function, runs a bit slow and hits crash city now and again. Still, there are plenty of Pokefans out there hoping a perfect version is in the cards.

Diner Dash for PSP

Posted Feb 1st 2007 11:30PM by Steven Bailey
Filed under: News

Casual games are getting more popular than Pokemon porn lately and so it shouldn't be any surprise that Diner Dash is coming to the PSP. For those unfamiliar with the game, it involves seating customers, picking up orders, serving food, getting paid, cleaning tables and keeping customers happy. Diner Dash started out as a highly popular flash game, but has spawned mobile and downloadable versions as well.

Judging from the few screens released, it looks simultaneously better and worse than its PC counterpart, which in of itself can be counted as a unique achievement. Plus, finally I can fulfill my desire to wait on annoying customers in a crowded restaurant and not get paid! But what's up with having to use a cursor on a PSP game? If I wanted to play Diner Dash on the PC, I'd already have upgraded from the Apple IIe I currently use.

Some PSP owners and non-owners believe the system needs more quick-play experiences. Will Diner Dash satisfy these people? Let's pretend like we care and await their response, when Diner Dash hits store shelves in May.

Scarface shows PSP software sales are lacking

Filed under: News

According to Gamespot, the Scarface video game topped the PSP's US sales charts in October by selling over 37,000 copies. This is distressing for two reasons. Firstly, the game sucks. Secondly, 37,000 copies sounds much too low a number to be the top selling game on any console. For comparison purposes, the new Pokemon game on the Game Boy Advance sold more than 150,000 copies (with the DS version selling more than 140,000).

According to PCVS Console, PSP software did not manage to break into the top 30 sales at all this month. This is especially distressing considering the slew of great new releases that were released in October. Will this discourage publishers from supporting the PSP? Should Sony fanboys worry that even the supposedly-dead Gamecube ranked more titles in the top 30?

Japanese hardware sales, Oct. 2-8: The PSP beats the DS ... sort of

It looks like the Pokemon weren't enough to keep the DS Lite's sales numbers anywhere near what they were last week. However, this week wasn't kind to any of the hardware as the top five systems each dropped in sales numbers compared to what they were a week earlier.

- DS Lite: 124,137 150,252 (54.76%)
- PS2: 28,264 3,728 (11.65%)
- PSP: 21,050 4,269 (16.86%)
- Xbox 360: 2,101 94 (4.28%)
- GBA SP: 1,532279 (15.41%)
- Game Boy Micro: 1,273

170 (15.41%)
- Gamecube: 488 35 (6.70%)
- DS Phat: 260

7 (2.77%)
- GBA: 12

2 (20.00%)
- Xbox: 8

5 (166.67%)

The DS Lite still gave the PSP a good spanking, outselling it by more than 100,000. But hey, look on the bright side, the PSP kicked the DS Phat's ass!

Australian software chart, Sept. 25 - Oct. 1: BMX Bandit edition

Australian software chart, Sept. 25 - Oct. 1: The Aussies like games too

Australia has given the world some really great things like Steve Irwin, kangaroos, Nicole Kidman and her first film - BMX Bandits, which just so happens to be one of my favorite childhood movies. So in honor of Steve, Nicole, BMX Bandits and kangaroos the world over, I bring you the Australian software chart.

Top 10 games
1. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (DS)
2. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (GBA)
3. Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2)
4. FIFA 2007 (PS2)
5. Lego Star Wars II (PS2)
6. AFL Premiership 2006 (PS2)
7. Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)
8. SingStar Anthems bundle (PS2)
9. Tekken Dark Resurrection (PSP)
10. Saints Row (Xbox 360)

It's nice to see a Tekken in the top 10 since PSP games haven't necessarily been tearing things up in Japan. However, it's clear that even the mighty Aussies have fallen victim to the disease that is Pokemon. Is no one safe?

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops previewed

Filed under: News, Metal Gear: Portable Ops

The first canonical Metal Gear Solid portable game was unveiled at E3 earlier this year. The idea of a real non-Acid non-graphic novel Metal Gear has made it one of the most-wanted games for the system, even without too much information to work with. The unofficial Metal Gear Solid site has a new preview, with a few new screenshots. The game takes place six years after Snake Eater, and has Big Boss arrested after FOX Unit begins a revolt in South America. With the help of his comrades in the FOXHOUND Unit, it will be their responsibility to stop the bad guys from using their "ultimate weapon." This game will be a crucial part of the Metal Gear series' storyline, as it'll explain how Big Boss went from good guy to bad guy in Metal Gear. With cutscenes in the same style of the Digital Graphic Novel, Portable Ops seems like it'll be an interesting ride, to say the least.

Portable Ops will feature a more distant camera so that players have a better view of their surroundings. Interestingly, it won't be a one-man sneaking mission anymore: you'll recruit and command other soldiers to help you take on your missions. Not only will you have generic soldiers at your disposal, but you'll also get more familiar faces, like Ocelot to join you. But be careful, in Fire Emblem style, if a character dies, they're dead for the rest of the game. There's also multiplayer, in which you can trade your partners ala Pokemon. According to the unofficial site, new trailers for Metal Gear Solid 4 and Portable Ops will be shown at Leipzig Games Convention, so expect more info very soon.
