One of the hottest trailers floating around the Internet right now is for 300, the film based on Frank Miller's take on the Spartan's war against Persia. The trailer is extremely stylish, both beautiful and brutal at the same time. It's the kind of trailer that men in the audience freeze upon and stare at the screen without blinking for two minutes.
Warner Bros. Interactive is bringing a tie-in game to the PSP, the release of which will coincide with the movie in March of 2007. Titled 300: March to Glory, the game doesn't follow the exact footsteps of the movie but rather quickly collapses the story and puts you right into the battle. It's a beat-'em-up to be sure, a throwback to the days of old arcade gaming where enough quarters would win you the day. Indeed, puzzle solving, exposition and all that has taken a distant backseat to the action, which looks to come aplenty.
You take control of King Leonidas and are placed almost immediately onto the battlefield to hack away at enemy soldiers. Instead of relying on story or drastic scenery progression, the game moves forward by offering you new moves, weapons and such to purchase. The Spartan warriors took a lot of pride in their kills, and it's this honor (dubbed Kleos in the game) that you'll spend to buy new attack combos, weapons and armor.
Once you have access to multiple weapon types, you're able to outfit yourself in whatever means you want. If you'd like to dual swords rather than a spear and shield, you can do so. You're also able to have multiple weapons at the ready, and a quick press of the Triangle button will swap between them. This is because some weapons will work much better against some enemies, while another might be ideal in other situations.
There are a few unique twists to using the weapons. You can use the shield offensively, for example, to toss back a large crowd that has surrounded you. You're also able to actually throw your spear and cause a massive amount of damage, but you won't necessarily get it back, so you need to save it for the most opportune times.
At certain points in the game you'll be able to control a phalanx, a "wall" of soldiers all equipped with spears. It looks as though you simply move forward or back while controlling the phalanx, and the entire wall will attack or guard at once upon your command. The short demo we saw of this scenario ended with an attack upon an elephant that didn't end very well. Let's just say that were it wearing shoes, it would have a bit of scraping to do.
One semi-cool twist to the gameplay is that enemy commanders will sometimes order volleys of arrows to be rained down upon your area. When this happens you'll hear a warning horn and must immediately move into a crouched position with your shield above your head to protect yourself.
We only had a chance to see one stage of 300: March to Glory, so we're not quite sure how much longevity is built into the title. We should be seeing more soon given its reasonably close release date. In the meantime, head over to the media page and take a look at the first screenshots.

RedOctane, Activision and peripherals manufacturer The Ant Commandos have settled the Guitar Hero lawsuit initiated in August this year.
The suit accused The Ant Commandos of copyright infringement over Guitar Hero controllers, while the peripherals manufacturer counter-sued Activision and RedOctane claiming infringement of a controller modelled for Konami's Guitar Freaks game.
However the case has been officially dismissed by a US court, after all companies reached an agreement and settled out of court.
Neither company has revealed the terms of the agreement.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent will surface globally on PlayStation 3 next March.
Now, we know what you're thinking: PS3 playing catch-up yet again with another old release. But you should give Ubi more credit than that - it's revealed that the PS3 game will include some new Sony-exclusive content, including new multiplayer maps and skins, and full support for the Sixaxis wireless controller.
Although motion control has already featured in the Wii version, we're going to assume that the PS3 iteration will be based on the graphically superior (and slightly different) 360 and PC versions.
Stay tuned for first screen shots of the stealth-'em-up when we get them.

LOL, with the news about 3.02 OE-A you wouldnt think it could get any better
(News via ahman) of the release of a new version of his excellent shell for the PSP.
New Features:
- Universal Infra-Red Remote is now working under firmware 2.71 mode of iR Shell.
- Support direct launching of Devhook 0.51.
- Enhance nethostfs & UMD compatibility which will allow WiFi keypad redirection to work with almost all UMD games that are supported by firmware 2.71. This should bring the compatibility of nethostfs to about the same level as usbhostfs. Pls note the nethostfs is only enahcned under firmware 2.71 mode, nethostfs under firmware 1.5 is unchanged.
- Plugin suffix extension has been changed from 3 characters to 1-4 characters.
- Bundled a HTML Viewer plugin by Dark_AleX which means you can open HTML documents (suffix as HTML or HTM) directly from iR Shell file browser.
- Bundled an updated ISO plugin by StoneCut which has Devhook launching capability built-in. This is for use with legally owned backups only.
Bug Fixes:
- When running iR Shell under firmware 1.5 mode of Dark_AleX 2.71 SEC, if you exit iR Shell when "Allow Adhoc PC Connection for Homebrew" is enabled, your PSP will crash.
- The "Free Space" under directory view can't display anything larger than 2GB.
- Can't choose plugin # larger than 10 under iR Shell Configurator.
Special Thanks to:
- Dark_AleX for doing a HTML plugin for iR Shell and for making all the impossibles possible.
- StoneCut for releasing new plugins and making iR Shell forum active. Without his help, iR Shell forum would probably be shutdown already.
- All Beta Testers & skins makers for their contributions.

Capcoms Resident Evil 5 will come most likely be released in 2008, That said producer Juneto Takeuchi . has stated that the framerate will hopefully be 60 fps and the enviroments will be far more interactive then previous gmaes in the seires. Cold weather and heat should be graphically visable in addition to very important new play mechanics with a new graphics engine which will provide the face of a character with expressions, so that very realistic face animations are possible. Likewise the hair is to be extremely realistically modelled, by the root up to the point.

Translation thanks to my friend Mark, he apologizes for it being so rough.

Portable television is now at everyone's fingertips. A sale going on now at Circuit City is offering the LF-PK1 Base Station and installation disc at a sale price of $150. Check out the link here:
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-...oductDetail.do
In case you are unfamiliar with LocationFree technology, LocationFree lets you watch TV, DVDs, VHSs, DVRs, and any other A/V device with an IR port...streamed wirelessly over the internet to your PSP, PC, or LocationFree TV. The original list price was (and still is in many stores) $350, but this sale at Circuit City has temporarily knocked off $200 from the price (1/3 of my future PS3 yay).
One of the best parts is that this model is only $150, yet it has wireless capabilities, unlike it's newer $200 brother, the LF-B10. WTF?!?!?
Please note that the $150 price does not show up on the link given. You must place the item into your cart to see the sale price. Many online stores do this at the manufacturer's request.
Order yours today (cause there is no cooler PSP accessory out there)!

Not even a Sony fanboy can avoid admitting that the Nintendo DS is selling at a much brisker pace than the PSP. Regardless of our second place position, I still find it interesting to see what Japan thinks of our favorite handheld machine. "What Japan Thinks" has a report from over 7000 Japanese individuals on their gaming habits. Here are some of the highlights:
Only 10.7% of people surveyed have a PSP, compared to Nintendo DS's 32.3%.
14.7% of PSP owners use it every day. (Do you?)
Although both the PSP and DS are portable, the number one place the system is played is at home: 94.2%. Personally, the subway is where I get most of my PSP playing done.
Brain training games are easily the most popular kinds of handheld games, coming in at 54.6%
A shocking number of people have not used any of PSP's non-gaming features: 43.1%
25.2% of surveyed individuals want a PSP in the future, versus the DS's 59.4%.
Only 20.3% of people want a PS3. Only 15% want a Wii. (But 17% want both.)
Make with these numbers what you will. While it may be easy to say that "PSP is t3h d00m3d!!1" I think that a 25% desirability rate is still very high. It's certainly higher than the number of people that wanted Gamecubes or Xboxes, both of which have lived fairly great console lives. Can Sony increase the PSP's desirability by focusing solely on games? Are you like the Japanese: do you not find value in PSP's non-gaming functionality?

In one of the most unsurprising turns of events in recent memory, Ubisoft today announced that Splinter Cell Double Agent would be heading to the PlayStation 3 this spring. The game will see a worldwide launch in March 2007, arriving at the same time the PS3 does in that oft ignored region.
The PS3 version of Double Agent will have added multiplayer maps and skins, as well as support for the motion-sensing capabilities of the SIXAXIS controller in both the game's single and multiplayer modes.
"Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent is already a best-seller and has set a new standard for the Splinter Cell series," said Yves Guillemot, CEO at Ubisoft. "I am sure that Double Agent will prove to be a must-have title for PLAYSTATION 3 system."
