Okay, so Sony Computer Entertainment may have already delivered B-Boy to PlayStation Portables, but that was two years ago, and the initial release was targeted at PAL PSPs only. So when news from the New York Comic Con takes to the news waves and says that the rhythm-based break-dancing game will be coming to the U.S., it catches our attention. More at the full story.

FreeStyle Games' B-Boy is viewed by many as one of the best video games for the PlayStation Portable that never made it to North America. It was first released in Europe back in 2006 and then in South Korea earlier this year.

Now it appears that B-Boy is coming to the States after all, if we are to believe a new listing posted by rental store GameFly. Read more.

Do you guys remember B-Boy? Yeah, that hip-hop themed break-dancing title from FreeStyle Games that was released in North America back in October 2006. Well, Sony Computer Entertainment Korea is happy to announced that the video game will finally be available in Korea.

We know you are already familiar with this title but in case you haven't noticed, three of the many in-game characters actually hail from Korea. They are Hong10, Physicx, and Darkness. Aside from these, the rest of the b-boys will also be making an appearance, there are 40 all in all, mind you, and some of the most notable ones include Crazy Legs, Ivan "The Urban Action Figure", Crumbs, Benny, Kamel, and Mouse.

Basically, the objective of the game is for players to learn and master around 800 motion-captured moves. The game will start in street battles, and if you are good enough, you might actually reach the World Championships. As players progress, their character will earn style, sponsorship, and respect.

And for those who really want to make a name for themselves, B-Boy allows complete character creation that can be modified further in terms of breaker and even wardrobe. There's an arcade mode as well as multiplayer face-offs using PlayStation Portable's (PSP) wireless functionality. All battles will take place in 21 realistic values.

As if these aren't exciting enough, the video game also has its own original soundtrack which features 40 licensed contemporary hip hop and classic funk tracks, mixed and scratched on the fly by in-game DJs.

Keen to make an impression, the up and coming game studio behind B-Boy for the PSP, FreeStyleGames will be holding a trio of B-Boy related events at the GameCity Annual Interactive Entertainment Festival. B-Boy first hit the streets this month, and with no demo or trailer released, the GameCity event will give gamers an opportunity to experience the game hands-on. So what exactly will you get to do there? Here's the lowdown on the three B-Boy events you'll find at GameCity:

• Art of the Videogame – In support of the premiere of the 'Into The Pixel' exhibition heading the 'Shpuld videogames be considered Art' debate, Angel Row Gallery and CCAN are holding a discussion with some of the leading artists – including B-Boy concept artist Brian Dugan (aka Chippy) in the Angel Row Gallery, Thursday 26th at 1pm.

• Be B-Boy – FreeStyleGames will be demonstrating how they captured a dazzlingly complex set of moves and converted them to a unique gaming experience that encapsulates the excitement, music, skill and art of being a b-boy. This will take place on Thursday 26th at 3 p.m. in The Cornerhouse; so if you're interested in just how FreeStyle managed to get such a good range of tricks into the game, check this out.

Work your headspins and bone-breaking maneuvers with B-Boy now out movin' and groovin' in the streets! Hailed as the very first break dancing title on the PSP, B-Boy lets you work your way through the HipHop scene by battling it out with the world's best b-boys and aim for that in-game Adidas scholarship.

The game features real life Hip-Hop personalities such as "Crazy Legs", who acts as the game MC and end-of-level boss. With the hottest HipHop beats in the soundtrack, as well as real locations and events featured in the game, this is as street as is gets. Climb up the ranks by taking on the world's greatest B-Boy personalities and pulling off hot moves and combos to become number one. Other game features include:

You love them, you hate them - product placement advertising in video games. Hey, some ideas like Pepsi in the Shire will never fly. But there are some product placements that make or should make absolute sense. Sports equipment and sportswear in EA Sports is the perfect example. Then there's spray paint companies in B-Boy.

Yes, spray paints. Because graffiti tagging goes hand-in-hand with hip-hop and B-boy culture. (Remember GTA: San Andreas?)

Montana Colors SL, a well-known brand in the world of paint-in-a-spray can, has collaborated with B-boy dev team FreeStyle Games and in-game ad specialists Hive to get their cans in the breakdance game. "B-Boy represented a great opportunity for us to reach our target audience via an innovative advertising platform," said CEO Ruedi Glatz. Besides the brand, even Montana's own in-house graffiti artists, the Montana Writer Team, have contributed their artwork to B-boy.

"It is critical that prospective players from the hip-hop community view the game as a sympathetic representation of their world, otherwise people simply won't play," says Hive's Rachel Norman. Adding the brand of choice for taggers and graffiti artists everywhere is just one of many steps to bring the hip-hop culture of B-boy to life, such as the soundtrack we've featured earlier.

Soundtracks, much like any other element, can make or break a game. And it's really impressive if the tracks get nominated for music awards such as British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).

FreeStyleGames (in partnership with SCEE and Universal Music Catalogue) announced the coming release of Music From B-Boy audio CD - a much-talked about collection of funky songs that are in tune with the B-Boy scene.

It's part of the B-Boy game package's release on October 6th on the PS2 and PSP. The "Music From B-Boy" audio CD will be released on October 30, 2006.
