UK gamers about to get Conned
The Con didn't exactly generate a lot of buzz when it originally came out for the PSP in the US. It was critically panned (getting a 64 average on metacritic) and didn't develop much of a following even from early PSP adopters. Despite all this, The Con is finally coming to the UK from SouthPeak G...
Relive Crazy Taxi with PSP rehash
Forget PSone, Sony should have worked out a deal with Sega to emulate Dreamcast on PSP. Instead, we're starting to see some attempts by publishers to revisit some of their Dreamcast titles using the UMD format. First, Capcom did Power Stone Collection, and now, Sega has announced Crazy Taxi: Fare Wa...
Japanese release day highlights: 11.30.06
Compared with most parts of the world, Japan is in the future by a distance of some hours. Compared with European and American game release schedules, Japan's is sometimes years ahead (this is known as the "Final Fantasy V Phenomenon"). Very occasionally, however, Japan is outdated. Today is one of...
Metareview: Power Stone Collection
There were way too many PSP games released in the past few days, and it seems like the big media sites are struggling just to play through all of them to give us reviews.

Interestingly, the PSP is co...
That should be on XBLA: Solomon's Key
Last week it was action puzzler, Lode Runner. This week it's Tecmo's Solomon's Key (submitted by ctrl-alt-del). Solomon's Key, like many arcade puzzlers of its time, has a simple formula. It's easy to pick up and play -- you should be able to get through the first few levels easily -- but it get's m...
That should be on XBLA: Power Stone
Last week we took a look at Bubble Bobble as a likely candidate for Xbox Live Arcade. This week: Power Stone. One of the first games released for SEGA's ill fated Dreamcast, Power Stone was a gorgeous and innovative fighter in it's day. Part Smash Brothers and part Jackie Chan, Power Stone allowed p...
Multiplayer mayhem a Power Stone's throw away
Sorry about the bad headline puns; my thinking cap is off being hemmed at the Smart Aleck shop and isn't due for few more days. But who cares when the real meat of the heads-up is that Power Stone 1 and 2, originally seen on the Dreamcast, will soon dish out frantic four-player battles on the PSP th...
