Two more editions and we'll be clocking in a full year of weekly recaps! What's in store this week? Lots of hellos and goodbyes. Some hellos are pre-mature, as seen in the case of MGS4 breaking street date (or not), and some goodbyes are actually kinda uplifting - especially if it might result in a 10-year disbarment. Get ready for some major surprises this week! |

And the revelations keep flowing from Sony Computer Entertainment's press conference, led by CEO Kaz Hirai. Up on the heels of updates for DualShock 3 and PlayStation Home is the new PC portal for PlayStation Home, which will soon allow users to connect to the service over their PCs. In a short demonstration, Sony showed a Windows laptop sporting a PlayStation Store interface created for PC users. Of course, Hirai couldn't help but boast virtual shelf numbers during the process: 30 PlayStation 3 games, 300 add-on items, 100 game titles on archive, and a slew of game demos all underline what's served at the portal currently. Mechanics are still slightly unclear, however, including details as to whether the PlayStation Store was accessed via browser or a stand-alone application. But some customers are beginning to appreciate the fact that they will be able to access the PlayStation Store through PCs for their PlayStation Portables, without needing to own a PlayStation 3. More details on this and more as they develop. |

It probably was a matter of time before someone decided to try plugging an SNES controller into a PSP (hey, if you can plug a PS2 analog stick, and toss in motion sensors to boot, what can't you plug?). Well, thanks to a tip from Natboy, he showed us this: AcidMods' F00 f00's external PSP controller test with an SNES controller. Talk about old-school control.
For the skeptical, F00 f00 says that he's not using a PC anywhere in this hookup, so there is no delay in control inputs. There's the matter, however, of the DualShock 2. Either it's a very pretty stand for the PSP to be held in a semi-upright position for easy viewing by the camera, or it mediates inputs from the SNES controller to the PSP. Absent any further details from F00 f00, or elaborate design schematics, we can only assume. WARNING: Mod not meant for games which use the nub separately from the D-pad. (Thanks again for the tip, Natboy!) |

With the launch of two of the industry's most-awaited gaming consoles
just around the corner, the general excitement that has been building
up can be felt almost everywhere. While the rest of us are painfully counting the days, hours, and minutes
for those shiny, new machines to finally be available, Robert Workman
from GameDaily takes a step back to assess the video game consoles of
our time, to see which companies have actually done their homework. |
