<em>Cube</em> asks players to do one simple thing: get from point A to point B. Of course, it wouldn't be much of a game if it was as easy as it sounds. This action-puzzle game from D3 Publisher has players navigating the titular cube around a three dimensional grid, also made of cubes. Along the way, players will stumble upon a variety of challenges to overcome: gaps in the course that must be mended, paths that must be opened, etc. To do so, there may be blocks for the player to push, or buttons to press. There are also other obstacles that can even destroy the player's cube.<br /><br />The challenges in <em>Cube</em> provide an interesting excursion. As the player progresses, more puzzles are unlocked, and the difficulty slowly rises. Some of the later levels can become truly terrifying pieces of work, layered with complexities. Trying to solve the various puzzles does become quite involving, as players must try to push blocks in a particular way, and pay attention to the movement of other blocks. There's replay value added thanks to additional keys that are scattered throughout a level: by collecting these keys within a certain time limit, the player will be awarded a medal. Obviously, perfectionists will want to get a Gold as often as possible.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/27/psp-fanboy-review-cube/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>PSP Fanboy review: Cube</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/27/psp-fanboy-review-cube/">PSP Fanboy review: Cube</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 27 Apr 2007 08:00:00 EST.

Read more about the trials and tribulations of being an upstart developer in this three-part series by Tiki Games President Kevin J. McCann. </em><em>See part 1 of the feature <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/02/05/the-trials-and-tribulations-of-tiki-games-part-1/">here</a>. See part 2 of the feature <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/02/06/the-trials-and-tribulations-of-tiki-games-part-2/">here</a>.<br /></em>
<p>That said we've recently begun to get some interest both from potential investors to major publishers. One of the publishers even contacted me due to <em>Galaxy's End</em> appearing on PSP Fanboy - so thanks to Andrew (and thanks to Joe who originally passed us along). Toward the end of 2006 I was concerned that Galaxy's End may not see the light of day (not to mention financial concerns since Tiki Games is self-funded). But now I'm feeling a bit more optimistic (a somewhat dangerous thing to feel, but it helps) that we're finally getting close to landing a real contract.</p>
<p>I'd also like to thank the various posters at PSP Fanboy (and other forums) that have responded positively toward the little glimpse of <em>Galaxy's End</em>. It's reaffirming for us at Tiki Games to see largely positive feedback toward our game from our intended customer-base.</p>
<img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2007/02/gruntimg.jpg" alt="" />
<p>For those of you that feel the RTS genre can't be done justice due to potential control issues on the PSP - we (and the publishers that have seen our game) feel the controls are solid. The key is designing the game from the ground-up with the PSP in mind - specifically designing with its controls and screen dimensions in mind. Not simply porting a PC RTS to a handheld - instead taking the most popular elements of the RTS and "translating" them to a handheld, while adding a few innovations/improvements of our own.</p>
<p>Likewise for those of you wanting Blizzard's <em>WarCraft</em>/<em>StarCraft</em> or EA's <em>C&amp;C</em> series - give us a try. We're aiming to surprise you with a solid RTS experience on a handheld. Besides, those guys are doing well already! ;)</p>
<p>While <em>Galaxy's End</em> future is still uncertain, hopefully we'll secure a publishing deal soon. Your enthusiasm and spreading the word does indeed help. Thanks again.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />Kevin McCann<br />President / Creative Director<br />Tiki Games, Inc. </p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/02/07/the-trials-and-tribulations-of-tiki-games-part-3/">The Trials and Tribulations of Tiki Games, part 3</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 07 Feb 2007 17:00:00 EST.

There's sure to be tons of PSP news to come this year, and PSP Fanboy will be all over it like Kryll in the darkness. Our readership has grown a lot over the past few months, and we want to make sure that you get the best experience from us. Therefore, we've made a few New Year's resolutions that we hope you'll enjoy:<br /><br /><strong>1. A new writer: Steven Bailey</strong><br />It's no longer a one-man show here on the Fanboy. Steve loves the PSP just as much as I do, and he'll ensure that breaking news always appears on the site, even if I become infected with the plague. Unlike our previous writer Chris, he isn't so enamored with the N-Gage, and that can only be a good thing, right?<br />"When I'm not playing or writing about video games, I like to bore friends and family by talking about them. Someday I hope to make my own video game and I have big aspirations, just like David Jaffe. Except instead of crying, my PSP game will make them vomit."<br />Expect his big PSP Fanboy debut later today!<br /><br /><strong>2. A new feature: "Ask PSP Fanboy"</strong><br />Confused about what your PSP can do? Need an update on a certain game or development? The PSP Fanboy team is here to help you! Our new weekly column will feature YOUR burning questions.<br />To ask a question, simply send an e-mail to <em>andrew @ pspfanboy.com</em> with the subject line "Ask PSP Fanboy."<br /><br /><strong>3. A new feature: "PSP Fanboy Theatre"</strong><br />Your PSP can play videos ... take advantage of it! Every weekend, we'll post special PSP-formatted versions of the hottest game and movie trailers for you.<br /><br />I hope you're excited about the upcoming changes to the site--I know I am. Feel free to leave us your comments and YOUR suggestions for the site. Thanks for reading PSP Fanboy ... expect a great 2007!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/01/03/psp-fanboys-new-years-resolutions/">PSP Fanboy's New Year's resolutions</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 03 Jan 2007 16:30:00 EST.

Then, I blacked out. I woke up, with a mysterious mark on my neck, and then learned that my super power was to blog profusely. In just a little over two months since our <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/04/wtf-psp-fanboys-1000th-post/">1000th post</a>, we've reached yet another milestone: our 1500th post. And like before, it's time to give away some swag!</p>
<p><strong>We're giving away a bag full of <em>Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories</em> goodies, including the game, a t-shirt and a sticker.</strong> All you have to do is threaten us... GTA style. Imagine me playing my PSP, and you're telling me to give you GTA... or else! Think of your funniest/most intimidating threat, and post it in the comments section. Watch your language, though. Simply offensive comments will be deleted and disqualified. The best entries will be the ones that don't resort to such low-brow measures.</p>
<p><strong>Giveaway ends on 11/23/06.</strong> Random winner will receive their prize after 12/8/06. Limit 1 entry per person.</p>
<p>P.S. Expect a review of GTA soon. Also, thanks for all your support. Our readership has been growing steadily, and I'd like to thank all of you for reading the blog. Please, spread the word and help PSP Fanboy continue to grow! Thanks.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/15/hijack-psp-fanboys-1500th-post-win-gta/">Hijack PSP Fanboy's 1500th post, win GTA</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 15 Nov 2006 11:30:00 EST.

They've been reading PSP Fanboy, and they linked to us! Their <a href="http://www.duelinganalogs.com/?date=2006-11-02">latest comic</a> discusses the internet's bashing of the PSP, and how the mean things that people say come out of paternal love more than anything else.<br /><br />Steve, writer of the comic, wrote in his most recent blog post: "Now for the record, I think the PSP is a good system... I just think its made bad mistakes. My main gripe is that the games are not designed for portable, but for console play."<br /><br />You're right Steve, too many of the older PSP games didn't take advantage of the console's portability. Of course, some of us want console-quality on the go, and the PSP does a good job of appealing to that niche. With shortening load times, and better game design, I think the current and upcoming PSP library will make more uniquely portable experiences for our handheld.

<p>Fellow blogger <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/chris-powell/">Chris Powell</a> did <em>not</em> like my <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/10/13/psp-fanboy-hands-on-sonic-rivals/">somewhat negative preview</a> of <em>Sonic Rivals</em> from the DigitalLife show floor. He told me on AIM that I should "play it until I like it." Well, buddy-- I tried to follow your advice. I spoke with Yosuke Moriya, product manager for Sega, about the PSP-exclusive title and he talked a little bit about the game, revealed some of its features, and played multiplayer with me. Mr. Moriya reassured me that some of the complaints I had were being addressed before the game ships <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000G0JD66?tag=prey0f&amp;camp=0&amp;creative=0&amp;linkCode=as1&amp;creativeASIN=B000G0JD66&amp;adid=0WDWJQ5T5KGWAZCVW3D3&amp;">in November</a>. For example, the framerate certainly hindered the sense of speed the game needs: when debug mode was turned on, I saw that the framerate dropped frequently to 15-20fps.</p>
<p>Music will obviously be added, but unfortunately, it appears that voice acting will not (the game currently features very short quips: Sonic says only "yeah" over and over again). The single player portion of the game will be meatier than I originally thought, as I was shown a few of the later levels and a very cool secret unlockable character (which we can't reveal, sorry!). You'll be able to collect rings and cards, which will be redeemed for new customization items for the characters: for example, you can get new shoes for Sonic, or a new outfit for Knuckles, etc. Sonic + Barbie = fun, right?</p>
<p>The game was obviously designed with multiplayer in mind, and it became a much more fun, and lively game when playing against a human opponent. I got to trash talk Yosuke as I sped away, racing towards the finish line. The moments where we able to use special powers against each other were the most lively, and the game has to create as many opportuities for interaction as possible. You can bet cards at the beginning of each race, so I could've stolen Yosuke's shoes. I didn't, though... because I'm just that nice. I have to admit I had a blast, but unfortunately, the game will only support ad-hoc multiplayer with two UMDs. Without Infrastructure play, it might be difficult to find another human opponent to play against. And that's a shame, really, because the game does become a much more lively game with it.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/10/14/psp-fanboy-interviews-sonic-rivals-yosuke-moriya/">PSP Fanboy interviews Sonic Rivals' Yosuke Moriya</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 14 Oct 2006 17:00:00 EST.

Because not all of us have time to read all the impressions and previews of all the games coming out, PSP Fanboy has created this nifty guide for <span style="font-style: italic;">all</span> the games that were previewed. You'll get a thumbs up or a thumbs down from the major video game news sites. If a game looks like it might be a real winner, we'll award it "The Official PSP Fanboy Entranced Korean Award." These are the games that'll end up <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/13/giant-psp-entrances-korean-populace/">in Korea on giant PSPs</a>, luring people to their eventual doom.

All you need to do to throw your name in the ring is suggest an alternative meaning for the titular acronym besides <em><strong>W</strong>ork <strong>T</strong>ime <strong>F</strong>un</em> (or that other meaning ... you know what we're talking about). <br /><br />Our favorite so far: ZENegade's "WTF = <strong>W</strong>in <strong>T</strong>he <strong>F</strong>or!" ... or Silver R. Wolfe's "<strong>W</strong>arioware <strong>t</strong>urns <strong>f</strong>un!" which, though blasphemous and heretical, is appropriately fanboyish. How about Western Truck Fab? No? Well, let's see you do better!

The winner will receive their prize after 9/26/06.
