We know you are all familiar with Anung Un Rama. He was born in Scotland sometime around 1944. His background, though quite publicized, still escapes most of us. He used to be with the Nazis but circumstances led him to the arms of U.S.' Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. People who met him personally have mixed feelings at best.

He sports red skin, a tail, and horns, not to mention his might right hand made out of stone. Sometimes he is good, sometimes he is bad - but he is never evil. Yes, you all know Anung Un Rama. It's just that you call him Hellboy. QJ recently sat down with Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. Producer Paul Armatta and talked about the upcoming video game adaptation on PSP.

Here's what transpired in our meeting...

QJ: What's the current status of Hellboy in terms of development?

Paul Armatta (PA):The game is coming along very nicely. The basic gameplay and levels are complete, and we're getting close to the point where we can really start fine tuning everything.

QJ: To what extent are Mike Mignola and Guillermo Del Toro involved in the game's production?

PA:Mike and Guillermo have been really great to work with on this project. They have made themselves available to bounce ideas off of and have given us great creative direction in the areas of storylines and art style.

Japanese electronics company Logitec said in a press release today concerning its soon-to-be released Bluetooth headphones for Sony's handheld, the PlayStation Portable (PSP). We really can't read Japanese, but numbers know no boundaries. If we're not mistaken, the new peripheral will debut at around 12,800 yen (US$ 110).

By the way, Logitec is not related to better-known peripheral maker Logitech. Logitec is a Japanese company and an established brand name in Japan since 1974. Logitech, on the other hand, is headquartered in Switzerland and was established in 1981. Trivia: Logitech calls itself "Logicool" in Japan (because Logitec is already there) and "Logi (UK) Ltd." in the UK (because there's a company called Logitech in Scotland that makes polishing equipment).

Anyway, the new Bluetooth PSP headphones from Logitec are scheduled for a Japanese release as of now, but we certainly hope to see them soon in other territories. In case you are interested, we listed some of the features and specifications:
