Did you fly that geek flag of yours proudly the last time Halloween was on by dressing up as the Prince of All Cosmos? Was it even Halloween? Wait, don’t answer that. Namco has no problem befriending all you diehard Katamari Damacy followers, however. From today until June 30, Katamari cosplayers can submit their "favorite Katamari-inspired apparel" for a chance to have it posted within the official site’s new cosplay gallery. Think of it, all those hours you spent crafting that elongated green headdress and matching skirt could be on display for posterity on the Me & My Katamari website. And your parents told you crafting costumes of video game characters would never get you anywhere!
Prizes like Prince puppets, t-shirts, and autographed copies of the soundtrack will be waiting for those who can come up with the best Katamari-related costumes or apparel (as judged by the brains at Namco Bandai America). Get rolling!

For those individuals who think sailors don't live up to their reputation enough, "WTF" is about as common in their vocabulary as "the". Our less profane readers, however, will find that WTF is finally about as easy to pronounce as "Golly shucks, Grandma! Can I have another piece of apple pie? I love them ever so much!" The mini-game centric title Baito Hell 2000, a game that had originally gotten some flak for looking like a knock-off of WarioWare but evolved into something far more demented, will get a name change when it hits the US this year. Now called Work Time Fun, IGN's preview reveals that the game will feature, in addition to the core set of mini-games, a collection of "tools" (ramen timer, anyone?), more than 40 additional unlockable mini-games, and ad-hoc multiplayer.
The challenge we forsee will be in how the game will be localized to make it palatable to non-Japanese gamers. Then again, it's not like we really care so long as we have a blast, right?

SCEA today officially announced SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs -- Combined Assault for the PlayStation 2 and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2 for the PlayStation Portable. Both titles are due out this fall and will make an appearance at this year's E3.
Combined Assault brings an all-new 4-player cooperative mode to the series, allowing up to four gamers to play through the game's full campaign or Instant Action modes together online. New weapons and vehicles expand upon the series' vast artillery and travel options, and an enhanced AI system makes the enemy better and more tactical than ever before.
Fireteam Bravo 2 is the second SOCOM outing on the PSP and promises to improve on the original in every way. A new non-linear mission system lets players choose their order of progression, and the new Command Equity and Local Influence systems reward players for performing missions well with additional intel, new weapons and more.
As was the case with SOCOM 3 and the original Fireteam Bravo, the two games will feature Crosstalk functionality which allows gamers to share data between the two games and directly influence missions in each game and unlock new features.
Both games are due out this fall. Check back soon for full-blown write-ups on Fireteam Bravo 2 and Combined Assault.

Pandemic Studios today announced Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, the sequel to its smash-hit sandbox shooter from early last year, Mercenaries. For the sequel, Pandemic has reconstructed its "playground of destruction" from the ground up for "next-gen technology", though the developer is remaining tight-lipped about exactly what platforms the game will appear on. The only solid bit of info that Pandemic is sharing today is that the game will take place in a new locale.
"While the original Mercenaries' high-octane, go anywhere, do anything and blow the crap out of everything style was a hit with gamers, the whole experience was screaming to run on next-generation game systems," explains Pandemic CEO Andrew Goldman. "And while we're building on the core mercenary experience we created for the original, we've taken full advantage of next-gen technology to offer a more richly detailed, reactive, living world than gamers have ever seen before."
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames will make an appearance at E3 where Pandemic promises fully reveal the title, so hold your breath.

A survey of high-volume DVD users by online DVD trading company Peerflix on Wednesday showed that about one in five may buy high-definition DVD players or discs in 2006.
Hollywood studios are counting on the new format, which boasts better quality images and more storage space for content, to renew demand for DVDs, which are more profitable than theatrical releases.
But Daniele Levy, Peerflix's vice president of marketing, said the results showed that significant adoption by hard-core users was at least a year off.
"We were quite surprised to see that a very small number of those die-hard DVD fans envisioned moving into the high-definition format this year," Levy said. "With all the talk and excitement around high-definition DVD they are still a long way away from moving into that format."
Tom Adams, chief executive of Adams Media Research, said the Peerflix numbers were in line with his firm's expectations for early technology adopters.
"If you did a random sample of the general population, it would be a fraction of that," Adams said on Wednesday. "These are heavy movie fans that certainly early on will get a player and they are not too concerned about the format war."
Adams predicted sales of 1 million to 2 million video game consoles that play high-definition discs, plus sales of about a half-million next-definition DVD players by the end of 2006.
The respondents were predominantly 25- to 44-year-old males with jobs, a wife and no children. Most had DVD collections of at least 50 discs and about a third also rented DVDs online.
Six percent of Peerflix said they were "very likely" and 13 percent were "somewhat likely" to buy a high-definition player in 2006.
Levy said the adoption of the new technology probably was hampered by the high price of players relative to standard DVD--the new ones cost about $500--and the competing versions between Sony's Blu-Ray format and Toshiba's HD DVD format.

Codemasters is set to turn Bliss Island from a free-play Web game into PC and PlayStation Portable titles. The PC version will be a try-before-you-buy downloadable game that will be available later in May. The game will be released later in the year on the PSP.
The game is the brainchild of independent developer PomPom, who has previously released Mutant Storm on the PC and the Xbox 360. A sample of Bliss Island is currently available to try online at www.funsta.com/bliss, where three sample stages of the action puzzler are available to play for free.
The game sees players taking on the role of Hoshi the Zwooph, who can expel puffs of air at high velocity from his trunk. Using this feature, you can bounce or control objects to complete challenges. The game is being handled by Codemasters' "casual gaming" department, and we'll have more on the game as it is announced.

Codemasters has confirmed that it is developing a new Colin McRae Rally game, which is set for release in 2007. The game has been given the working title of CMR '07 and is in development for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. It will feature races with multiple cars on one track simultaneously, as well as online multiplayer.
The series has been on a break for two years now, and the time has allowed Codemasters to implement racing modes that will supplement the traditional point-to-point rallying in the form of hill climb and rally cross events. CMR '07 will also offer cars that have been modeled on the real thing, in addition to official rally tracks from around the globe. Although little else is known about the game at this stage, Codemasters is also promising gravel, mud, and dirt racing and a wide variety of off-road and rally disciplines.
The game is still in an early stage of development, but we'll keep you up to date on all the latest developments.

THQ is bringing TV's favorite mafia family to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 2. The company today announced a game based on the hit HBO series The Sopranos, which will feature the likeness and voice of star James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano. The storyline is also being developed with the input of the show's creator, David Chase.
The game itself will put you in control of the illegitimate son of Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero, played by Vincent Pastore on the show. As a mob war brews between New Jersey's Sopranos and a rival Philadelphia family, you must take on jobs and earn the respect of Tony Soprano. This involves earning money on collections, protecting your turf through intimidation, and moving up in the ranks of the organization.
The game will feature familiar locations such as the Bada Bing! strip joint and Nuovo Vesuvio's and Satriale's restaurants. Missions will be handed down from recurring characters besides Tony, such as Paulie Walnuts (played by Tony Sirico on the show), Silvio (Steve Van Zandt), and Christopher (Michael Imperioli). However, THQ did not name any specific actors other than Gandolfini, saying only that there will be "key members of the all-star cast who will lend their voices and likenesses to the game."
The Sopranos is being developed internally at THQ. It is currently set to ship this coming holiday season, and, given its TV-MA-rated source material, will almost certainly be rated M for Mature.

Atari's announced plans to bring a modern update of BattleZone to PSP this November.
Paradigm Entertainment's developing it, and it promises a decent mix of single and multiplayer - but the emphasis appears to be on team-play, with four-player Wi-Fi high up on the agenda.
You'll take control of hover tanks in close combat scenarios, as you'd expect, with eight customisable team vehicles, unlockable weapons, vehicles and upgrades.
Extra content will be made available through the game's website too, including an online level builder tool - results can be transferred to PSP via PC-USB.
Multiplayer-wise, in all there'll be six modes - DM, CTF, TDM, Hotzone, Knockout and Fox and Hound. We don't know what Fox and Hound is but it's almost certainly not a Disney licence, because that film was rubbish and a total letdown after the Lion King.

Bad news for PSP owners: Macworld is reporting that the recent 2.7 firmware update makes it impossible for the handheld console to play content captured by the Neuros 2 Recorder. Even worse, files that you had previously recording using your Memory Stick-equipped Neuros will no longer work once you upgrade to 2.7. For now, Neuros is taking a three-pronged approach to the problem: they're working on a firmware update of their own for the Recorder 2, attempting to convince Sony to adjust their code in future upgrades, and, least helpfully, recommending that their customers avoid making the move to 2.7. Also, the company claims to be working on a solution that, at the very least, will allow those folks who insist on upgrading to convert their old recordings into a 2.7-friendly format.

Some small snippets of gameplay footage (see: two) for the upcoming PS3 title Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom are available for your gawking pleasure over at IGN. The game's graphics are looking very nice at this stage of the game, showing some polished detail on the enemy models and giant-hammer-wielding-hero-guy as they run around in a grassy field littered with rocks, doing what enemies and hero-guys do.
Who else is looking forward to this one?

News via IGN
MGM Interactive and EON Productions announced today they've granted Activision the rights to develop and publish games based on the James Bond license through 2014.
"The James Bond franchise creates tremendous global expansion opportunities for Activision as it is one of the few video game licenses that appeals equally to domestic and international consumers," said Mike Griffith, president and CEO of Activision. "James Bond storylines are rich with style, drama and action, all of which lend themselves perfectly to developing extraordinary games that capture the thrill of being the most celebrated secret agent in the world."
Activision now has the right to develop and publish games based on all of the James Bond movies, as well as non-movie based games for all current and next-gen consoles and handhelds.
"Activision's track record of developing engaging and sophisticated games across all platforms makes it the ideal partner to introduce the Bond videogame experience to a new generation of game players, as well as to provide new thrills and excitement for the legions of people who are already fans of the Bond films and games" said David Pope, CEO of EON Productions Limited, maker of the James Bond films.
Stay tuned for more information on Bond's new videogame home.

News from GTA Portable .com
Today we bring you details on the next CheatSync version to be released later this week. CheatSync v0.5 enables many things such as jet packs; planting bombs on trains; and unlocks the hidden fourth island called Short Island. Alright, I'm just kidding. It's not that amazing. But if you compare it to the current version of CheatSync, it is a massive improvement.
Firstly, as most of you would know, the current version does take some time to load all the cheats. You would all agree with me that a faster loading CheatSync would be much better, as well as the ability to download cheats using the PSPs web browser. That's right Mac users (and ultimately everyone else), now you can browse the database of cheats and upload it to your PSP without ever pressing a QWERTY keyboard or a PC mouse. It can be all done on your PSP using the web browser.
That's right, the new CheatSync will not be application based anymore. It's all going to come together in your web browser. Of course, MAC users can still not Sync it to their PSP in this way. The way it works is similar to that of an online shopping cart. You can browse the cheats, tick the ones you want and download them all in the form of a cheat pack. You can also save them online in your ''favorites'' section for future use.
The Cheat Packs work similar to the current CheatSync, but only contain the cheats you want. Once you have chosen all the cheats you want and have downloaded the CheatPack to your desktop, you still connect your PSP to your Windows PC and the cheats are uploaded to it. This is also a nice way for people to share all their cheats with friends. Mac users can browse CheatSync the same way, but a normal cheats.txt files is downloaded, instead of the cheat pack application.
You can also filter out categories that you don't want, like PMG. I've tested it out myself and I can honestly say it's much better than the current version. CheatSync v0.5 is due out this Friday. As the previous news post suggests, there's also a new CheatDevice coming. Although I don't have the release date on that. Stay tuned!

The admin of PSP3D posted a warning that i feel our visitors and developers should also take notice of especially because the PSP scene is being watched by the mainstream sites, heres what he posted:
<blockquote>Recently there has been a surge of homebrew clones of popular PC games to the PSP. Clones such as StarCraft, Age of Empires, Red Alert, and more. Remember, developer companies of these games still have active copyrights on their games. Ripping sprites from their games and using them in your own homebrew port is illegal, regardless of what coding of the backend is like (obviously homebew code since the source for these games has not been released yet). Also, using the game's name in your port, even with different in-game sprites, is also illegal. So you could have a clone of say StarCraft, call it StarCraft PSP, and use different sprites as well, but you would still be producing illegal material. </blockquote>
I actually agree with the PSP3D Admin, i think its great that clones are made but use your head and name it different and keep away from copyrighted stuff where possible.
Whats your views on this subject ?
