Yesterday I was engrossed in the explosive delight that is Silent Bomber. I downloaded it off the Japanese PLAYSTATION NETWORK for use on my PSP. For those of you who haven't heard of the game (which is probably most of you), it was a PlayStation 1 game that came out after Metal Gear and tried to do the cinematic story thing, while the gameplay was a mix of Bomberman and Contra. I had so much fun playing it, that I couldn't help but wish for a sequel, but such a sequel is unlikely since the game is a cult hit at best. But then I wondered if perhaps the reemergence of the title in digital download form could have the potential to explode its popularity to the point that a sequel could be made.
Without the constraints of a short shelf lifespan in stores and the equality that is digital download, could a game that flopped when it was originally released on PS1 become a success on the PSP to such a point that a sequel or continuation of the series was financially intelligent? I'm well aware that not every PSP owner is going to pay for and download PS1 games and that also, until PS1 downloads are available without a PS3, the relative success of the downloads will be small. However, what will happen when the PSP can natively download PS1 titles for play? Geometry Wars was such a huge hit on Xbox Live Arcade, that a sequel is in the works. Why couldn't the same happen to a Silent Bomber? Do you think PS1 downloads have to potential to bring back dead titles? What PS1 game would you like to see a sequel to if this did start to occur?

PSP-owning puzzle fans take note: Capcom Puzzle World has shipped and is now available in stores. Puzzle World is made up of the classic Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Block Block, and Buster Bros. Collection (itself three games in one). Wireless multiplayer is available via the PSP's ad hoc mode so you can share your puzzle memories with that special someone.
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is a gem-busting game starring super-deformed versions of your favorite Street Fighter characters. Gamers can create custom attack patterns in Counter Gem Edit Mode and hone their skills in Training Mode.
Released for the arcades in 1990, Block Block features a two player co-op mode, allowing for the cooperative destruction of blocks. Also unique to this title is the constantly shrinking paddle that forces players to finish each level as quickly as possible.
Originally released for the OG PlayStation, Buster Bros. Collection is a puzzle/shooter that gathers Buster Bros., Super Buster Bros,. and Buster Buddies. An arcade classic, Buster Bros. has one or two players navigating through more than 50 timed stages, shooting and avoiding an avalanche of giant bubbles. Super Buster Bros. is an updated version of its predecessor, with improved graphics and the inclusion of Panic Mode which adds 99 levels of busting action. Buster Buddies is the most recent version of the series to be released in the arcades, featuring four original characters and even more bonus items.
All the games in Capcom Puzzle World have been updated for the PSP's 16x9 widescreen aspect ratio. This compilation is the first PSP title to feature a screenshot mode, allowing gamers to take a snapshot of their victory in Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo or any of the Buster Bros. titles. Players can also import personal pictures into Capcom Puzzle World that can be used as game backgrounds for all three Buster Bros. games. Capcom has even included an odd feature that lets players infiltrate other systems by virally uploading high scores onto their opponent's handheld.
This stroll down memory lane will set you back $29.99.

Today Rockstar Games announced Manhunt 2 for the PlayStation 2, PSP, and the Wii (!). The newly-formed Rockstar London will be handling the PS2 and PSP versions, while Rockstar Toronto is heading up Wiihunt.
The original Manhunt was the ultra-violent action game that revolved around creative kills such as bashing faces with a crowbar and wire stranglings. The game attracted attention from media watch groups and was fairly well-received by consumers and the press.
"With Manhunt 2 we have tried to create a game that stays close to the original concept of chilling suspense and stealth, whilst pushing the game design and storytelling forward," said Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games. "We are also excited to have our newest development team, Rockstar London, working on the title alongside our two established UK studios, Rockstar North and Leeds."
Manhunt 2 will be available this summer.

The fine folks of Acid Mods have done it again: they've created yet another impressive modification for the PSP. But this one will make you spin your head a bit. It's a cooling fan. Yes, a cooling fan.
While it's true that the system may get a little bit warm when connected via wi-fi, the portable doesn't seem to suffer from overheating issues like its console cousins. However, if you need to play your PSP on a hot summer day, you may want to check this out. Regardless of its practicality, it's certainly an ingenious piece of work.

Stories of PlayStation 3 eBay speculators getting shafted never seem to grow old for me. Take the recent article The Globe and Mail, which tells the sad story of a construction worker with a heart of gold, who shelled out $2459 Canadian for two consoles, all in the name of love.
The hard part done, Mr. O'Brien thought he could sit back. He would flip the PlayStation 3s just before Christmas when demand was at its peak and use the profit to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend...
But two months later, the sleek PlayStation 3 units are collecting dust in Mr. O'Brien's closet in Bowmanville, Ont., while his girlfriend is still without a ring
So instead of spending $2500 on an engagement ring, he gambled the money away trying to score big. It's like Jack trading the cow for magic beans, except these beans never took root. We need to save all of these stories and make them into a poster to hang up outside retails stores when the next big system launch rolls around.

Sony is sponsoring a production of Puccini's La Boheme at the London Coliseum and somehow managed to convince the hall to let them set up the console in the foyer for play testing. Classy!
"We don't want the PS3 to be pigeon-holed as a video game console," Carl Christopher from Sony PlayStation UK, told The Times. "We want people to look at PlayStation as a brand in a different way."
Someone, please, go to this opera a get a picture of women in evening gowns playing Resistance: Fall of Man. I must see this picture.

More than four years after the first Kingdom Hearts game was released, Square Enix has announced that the number of games in the series shipped around the globe has now topped 10 million.
Around 1.5 million units of the original PS2 game have been shipped to Japan, compared to 3 million for North America and 1.1 million for Europe and other PAL territories.
Figures for Game Boy Advance title Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories stand at 400,000 for Japan, 900,000 for North America and 200,000 for PAL regions.
And finally, around 1.1 million copies of PS2 sequel Kingdom Hearts 2 have been shipped to Japan, while the figures for the US and PAL stand at 1.7 million and 700,000 respectively.
The original Kingdom Hearts launched in Japan in March 2002, with North American and European releases following towards the latter half of the same year. Featuring characters and environments from both the Final Fantasy series and Disney films, it was a hit around the globe.
The GBA game was first released in December 2004 and the PS2 sequel arrived one year later - although European gamers had to wait more than nine months for a PAL release.
Following the announcement of the new shipment figure, series producer Shinji Hashimoto confirmed that more instalments are planned. "When we first started developing Kingdom Hearts, we never imagined we would pass the 10 million mark so quickly," he revealed.
"We are delighted and extremely grateful for the support from our fans around the globe. We hope to continue to provide games which fulfill your anticipation in the future."

Sony has declared that Blu-ray is already winning the next-gen DVD format war, with discs outselling HD-DVD by a ratio of more than two to one.
The company is quoting a report by consumer research firm Nielsen VideoScan which states that Blu-ray is winning in the cumulative sales stakes. During the first week of January, 47.14 HD-DVD movie discs were sold in the US for every 100 Blu-ray films shifted.
During the second week that ratio increased even further, with 38.36 HD-DVD titles sold per 100 Blu-ray discs.
Sony has also announced the results of an online survey in which 100,000 PlayStation 3 owners took part. In total, 90 per cent said they had watched a Blu-ray film on their console, and 80 per cent said they planned to buy more movies in the future. In addition, per cent said they intended to rent Blu-ray films.
Many games industry analysts have predicted that the battle between Blu-ray and the Toshiba-backed HD-DVD format will be key to determining who wins the battle of the next-gen consoles.
Last year, Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter observed that Sony would have an "insurmountable advantage" over Microsoft if movie studios adopt Blu-ray as the standard.
Microsoft released a HD-DVD player for Xbox 360 in the US last November. According to NPD data around 42,000 units were purchased during its first month on sale, rising to 50,000 in December.

Electronic Arts VP, Frank Gibeau, has cited the publisher's disappointment with PS3 software sales in a finance conference call.
Despite attaining $41 million in orders from retailers throughout the holiday quarter, EA notes that this is considerably less than the $76 million filled during the Xbox 360's respective launch, according to a report on Video Business.
Gibeau put disappointing software sales down to a large proportion of PS3s being purchased for sale on eBay with the intent of making a profit.

Sonic Team boss and director of Sonic and the Secret Rings, Yogiro Ogawa, cites the PS3 as "very expensive", in a recent interview with CVG.
When asked if he thought the features the PS3 offer are worth the hefty price tag, Ogawa replied: "Now I think that if Sony had sold the PS3 alongside the Vaio brand, maybe like calling it the 'Vaio PS3' or something like that, it may have been more appealing to the right people.
"I think that the way in which Sony has chosen to approach the PS3 could have been better. It's very expensive."
He does however give Nintendo the thumbs up, saying: "If you look at videogame history, Nintendo hardware always extends on what we have. They design, develop and create new toys." He later cites the Wii Remote as "a fun device to design games for" due to it's innovation and the new challenges is poses for developers.

Rockstar has released the first trailer of its PSP conversion of The Warriors, and as promised it's looking just as good on Sony's handheld as it did on PS2.
The GTA chaps have also confirmed that the handheld version will be in the shops later this month on February 23, so it looks like the post-Christmas gaming drought is almost over.

Is Sony going to use shooter Killzone PS3 to steal some of Microsoft's Halo 3 multiplayer beta thunder this spring?
Well, that's what a rumour on 1UP.com is suggesting, saying that a demo of the PS3 sequel that was last in the public eye at E3 2005 will actually appear before the Halo 3 beta begins.
It's additionally rumoured that Killzone PS3 is well into development - so far in fact that the online section of the game has existed in playable form for nearly a year. Coupled with the demo rumour, it implies that the game could well release before Halo 3.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe was unavailable for comment on the rumours at the time of writing.
The first Killzone game was massively hyped and turned out to be disappointing. Will Sony and developer Guerrilla set things to rights with the PS3 sequel? We can but wait and see.

Washington, D.C. (February 5, 2007) -- Who's winning the Blu-ray-HD-DVD war?
Well, according to the NPD Group, no one. The research group says sales of the two HDTV DVD players were almost even from April to December of last year.
NPD says 52 percent of HDTV DVD players sold during that time period were HD-DVD players while 48 percent were Blu-ray.
However, Blu-ray enthusiasts might count the numbers as a victory because they did not include sales of the PlayStation 3, which has a Blu-ray player inside. (The totals also did not include sales of Microsoft's XBox 360 HD-DVD attachment, but they are estimated to be far less than the PS3.)
Additionally, Blu-ray standalone players cost roughly $1,000, about twice as much as HD-DVD players.
In related news, Nielsen said last week that Blu-ray movie titles outsold HD-DVDs by more than two to one in the first two weeks of January.

Pocket Pool, the upcoming PlayStation Portable billiards game in which players can play against comely models in order to unlock video clips and image galleries, already had a suggestive name. But just in case anyone didn't understand what the game was offering, publisher Conspiracy Entertainment confirmed for GameSpot today that it has tagged on the license of the nudity-laden video series Girls Gone Wild.
It's unclear how deeply the Girls Gone Wild license will be integrated into the gameplay. Conspiracy's official Web page contains box art and screenshots for the game, none of which make reference to the adult video series. While a representative with the publisher confirmed that the game will carry the Girls Gone Wild license, he couldn't comment on whether the publisher had plans for other games carrying the brand.
Set for release in April, Girls Gone Wild Pocket Pool features more than a dozen styles of pool from 9-ball to Snooker. The game has been rated M for Mature, with content descriptors for partial nudity and sexual themes.
