PSP-Maps is a tool that allows you to browse Google Maps, Virtual Earth and Yahoo Maps with your PSP and its WiFi connection. You can move around the map, zoom in and out, cycle through the different available views, search for an address, load/save favorites, etc…

It includes a cache system so you can browse later the maps you have previously seen, even if you don’t have WiFi available. There is also a PC version if you don’t have WiFi at all, so you can build a cache on your computer and copy it to your PSP.

PlayStation Day wasn’t just about the PS3, there were a few PSP games available at the event too. Secret Agent Clank was among them and we have updated our gallery with all the new images from the show. These include character renders, screenshots and the boxart (as seen above). We’ve got our grubby mitts on the preview build and should have a review available for you before the game’s release this June.

We’re glad that SCEA finally confirmed the availability of Skype-compatible PSP headsets at retailers today. When we first discovered the peripheral, it was supposed to release last month for $20. Well, looks like things have changed. The peripheral is now available at a MSRP of $30 at your favorite retailer. We checked amazon.com, buy.com, and GameStop — and it appears that buy.com is still your best bet.

The new headset offers stereo sound, an adjustable microphone, and a lightweight design with soft ear cushions. It’s the easiest way to get Skype working on your PSP. For more information on how to use the VoIP service, check out installation guidelines in the full post.

Sony’s Playstation Portable serves you very well, it has great games, plays music and videos. Now you can add one more, it is going to help on DARK.

This beautiful looking add-on is called XCM Magic Night Glow faceplate. It fits on the top of Slim PSPs only, fat PSPs not supported. It comes in six colors pearl, yellow, blue, green, pink, and red. In dark, each faceplate glows a different color than it’s original color. Confused? Here’s an example, the red faceplate (see above) will glow yellow color in dark (also see above). No price is set at the moment, for those who are drooling right now can go to XMC and can place a pre-order.

Unlike many, many games on the PSP, Manhunt 2 is quite unique in its sense of scare and horror. The game mechanics work very well, but some might not agree. The kills are brutal and satisfying, even though the graphics are not at the tip top of the scale. The story is long and easy to comprehend. I haven’t played Silent Hill, but if I had to pick a horror action game, this is definitely a game I’d pick up. Most violent game on psp till now, even banned in europe and uk.

WARNING: Like this game, I’m going to review it with some graphic details and give you a great sense of how it is!

Sony’s PlayStation Portable sold over 92,000 units in Japan for the sales week ending April 27, extending its lead over the other platforms for the calendar year with almost 1.5 million sales in 2008.

The Nintendo Wii leapfrogged the DS into second place selling just under 49,000 units, with the DS selling 42,000 - although both have now sold almost identical numbers this year at 1.24 million.

The PlayStation 3 numbers rose slightly to 9100 from the previous week’s 7400, although the flagship Sony console has now only sold around a third the number that the Wii has in Japan in terms of lifetime sales comparisons.

The PlayStation 2 sold 7100 units, while the Xbox 360 managed just under 1300.

The full rundown is as follows:

1. PlayStation Portable (92,411)
2. Nintendo Wii (48,796)
3. Nintendo DS (42,435)
4. PlayStation 3 (9107)
5. PlayStation 2 (7108)
6. Xbox 360 (1283)

This video compares GTA 4 with both Playstation 3 and Xbox360.

There was only a slight difference between the two versions, they both look fine, neither looks impressive. We’ve all see much better graphics in other games. (Although the explosions look great) In the IGN comparison they compare other stuff that’s actually vaguely important, such as game play and loading times.The guy comparing the versions said that the PS3 versions loading times were faster due to having a game install on the hard drive, but the 360’s loading times aren’t too bad anyway.He also said that he spent more time playing the 360 version but found that the PS3 version was easier to play when driving vehicles. The PS3 version also uses six-axis controls for some vehicles and the bowling and darts mini-games (you can turn it on and off).


The 360 version was said to be slightly more vibrant than the PS3 version in terms of color but you can adjust the brightness and contrast settings in-game so you can fiddle with the sliders and make the game look as best suits your preference.
In the end he said both versions look and play great and if you have both consoles you should get the version your friends will be getting so you can play with them online.
So, both games deliver.

This video compares both the Playstation 3 and Xbox360.

“Champagne Gold” wasn’t exactly our first choice for a new PSP color — it’s a little nouveau riche for our blood — but Sony will be rolling it out in Japan on February 22nd, adding it to their current line up of black, white, pink, silver & blue models. No word on if, or when, it might be released here in the States, but Sony hasn’t been very good about introducing new PSP colors over here.

While us Americans have been stuck with black PSPs since its launch nearly two years ago, Japan has been collecting more and more unique colors. The newly revealed “Champagne Gold” PSP will hit Japan on February 22nd for the standard PSP price of 20,790 yen (~$175US).

This is, coincidentally, when Monster Hunter Portable 2nd comes out, the most wanted PSP game in Japan. As with Tales of the World and Metal Gear Solid, Sony will bundle the new system color with the highly anticipated game into a special package, which will undoubtedly include some other collectibles. The premium package will go for 26,000 yen (~$218).

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus is one the best 2D fighting games with great graphics, fast-paced action and easy combat system. We loved it on consoles, now it is heading towards PSP, as said in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu Taiwan, which means we can enjoy the same lighting speed slashes on a bus/train/plane or even in bathroom.

Like it’s consoles version, it will feature additional characters and modes for more replay value. An interesting feature is the new mode called “Team Battle” where 3 players can form a team to fight in the tournament. Players can also fight with each other locally via ad-hoc. According to PSPHyper, GGXX Accent Core Plus is hitting in July in Japan.
