2K Games has announced that the hilariously dysfunctional family is now out to wreak havoc not only in your own homes, but anywhere and everywhere you go, as the PSP action game Family Guy has shipped to retailers and is now up for grabs.

All the characters you love, or hate, or hate and love, will be featured in the game, along with the entire cast and creative team of the hit TV show, which has been hailed as the closest competition of one of the longest-running cartoon shows, "The Simpsons".

The Family Guy for the PSP lets you take on the role of beer-guzzling Peter Griffin as he tries to stop Mr. Belvedere's sinister plans or Stewie, the diabolical youngster who tries to fight off his half-brother Bertram as the two battle it out to be The One who takes over the world. You'll also get to play as Brian Griffin, the family dog, and devise ways to escape prison and prove to everyone your innocence in a puppy paternity case.

Developed by High Voltage Software, the game combines arcade-like action, platforming, combat, and puzzle-solving as you play and progress through three interweaving stories in the typical hilariously chaotic Family Guy fashion. Family Guy is now out on the market so make sure you check with your local retailers for price and availability.

This first ever clip from 2K Games' Family Guy has capture the average, middle class, suburban family in all its glory - a talking dog, a beer bellied dad plopped on a couch watching TV while having a conversation with a dog, and a feisty infant bent on world domination.

This time around the diabolically evil youngest child of Peter and Lois, Stewie Griffin, has finally met his match. The success of his newly completed mind control device comes under threat, when an equally sinister punk of a kid goes after the satellite dish. Has little Stewie finally met his match?

As a former teacher of Pacific Northwest and United States History, I have always been awed - and humbled - by the stories suffered by those hearty folk who left almost everything behind to make the grueling 2,000 mile, six-month journey from St. Joseph, Missouri to Oregon's Willamette Valley. Traveling on foot or, occasionally aboard their comfortless "prairie schooners," they faced privations we cannot imagine...dust storms, impassable mountains, raging rivers, dysentery, cholera, hunger...

I often wonder what they would think of their descendants, cruising the interstates in leather-padded, air-conditioned luxury inside oversized metal dinosaurs, riding comfortably on rubber tires and heavy-duty shocks atop the smooth asphalt...while the kids in the back whine "ARE WE THERE YET...?? I'M HUU-NGRY...!! I GOTTA GO TA THE BATHROOM...!!!"

What would those pioneer children ca. 1845 think? Whatever that might be, modern-day travelers will be extremely happy to have this sweet little device that allows the wee ones to attach their Sony PlayStation Portable to the back of a car seat.

Want to give your kids and other car passengers that airline TV-in-the-back-of-the-seat experience on long journeys? Thanks to Griffin Technology, you'll soon be able to do just that. The company will next month ship RoadDock, a rig for attaching a Sony PlayStation Portable to the back of a car seat.

Scheduled to ship next month, the $29.99 accessory provides a 2in-wide elasticated band to strap the dock to the seat. A docking unit for the PSP is fitted to the strap, allowing the the handheld console to be rotated through 360° and tilted for the best view. Unfortunately, the unit doesn't  include a power connector, so you can't go far without an alternative power solution.
