Remember the PSP-playing bus driver in Honolulu? The one who wasn't fired? Now six months later, the mayor has vetoed a city bill that would have outlawed playing games while driving.
Saying it is too specific and almost impossible to enforce, Mayor Mufi Hannemann struck down the measure that made it illegal to send text messages or play video games while driving. "A police officer operating a motor vehicle will only have a second or two to determine if the driver is committing a violation by text messaging or playing a video game," Hannemann wrote to the council.
As legislation goes, this seems a little unnecessary and reactionary to the bus driving incident, and laws like that are usually bad ones. Besides, if someone plows into a school bus because they're duking it out with Charon in Chains of Olympus, they're probably getting popped for reckless or careless driving anyway. It's probably a stupid idea to drive while baking a birthday cake, too, but that doesn't mean it needs its own law.
But the original bill's 7-1 vote means it has a veto-proof majority, so, Oahu drivers, please put down your Patapon and DS styli. Of course I don't like to see gaming singled out for abuse among all other behaviors, but really - if you're driving, you shouldn't be doing anything other than paying attention to driving. And that includes talking on the phone. At worst it's unsafe, and at best, the inevitable slowdown you see when someone makes or takes a call causes congestion, cutoff lane changes, delays at signals, headaches, and anger. I don't know a single person who doesn't hate cell phone drivers, but everyone does it.

Remember the guy who proposed to his girlfriend with a LittleBigPlanet level? They are in fact getting hitched - and are planning to do so in the game itself.
Dimmujed, the groom-elect, uploaded that video yesterday, then went into the LittleBigWorkshop forums this morning to announce the happy news that he and his betrothed, Andrea, are to be wed in April.
Remember the level I made where I got engaged with a LittleBigPlanet level? Well now I made a level inviting you all to our wedding in LBP! We are going to have the actual ceremony inside of little big planet with a level on April 11th.
You will be able to check out the level online, and the ceremony on a video come April 11th.
And then the community had this tender, heartfelt reaction to Dimmujed's joyful news.
"Wat."
Congrats to Jed and Andrea. I just hope the hyperactive Sony mods take the day off, or don't find any reason to take down their matrimonial level. Because that would be so ironic, like rain on your wedding day.

Just as Microsoft is changing your "device-buying experience" across the United States and opening a slew of stores, Sony is closing their main spot. Infamous for hosting PS2, PSP and PS3 launch events in the past, the Metreon Shopping Complex has hosted America's only Sony Playstation Store as well as a Sony Style store for nearly 10 years. The complex was sold to the Westfield Group and real estate company Forest City Enterprises in 2006, though Sony kept it's flagship Sony Style Store and only PlayStation branded store in the nation in operation ... until now.
Speaking with GameSpot, a Sony rep said, "Our lease with the Metreon for the PlayStation Store will expire this summer and we have chosen not to renew it." (A rep for the Metreon told GameSpot that the Sony Style Store's lease will expire on March 31st.)
So where will the company throw all those launch parties now? "While we are always looking at new avenues for additional retail exposure and space, we felt it best not to continue with a dedicated PlayStation Store at the Metreon at this time." Looks like if you want to attend a launch party these days and you're on the West Coast, you'd better be ready to lp+lk+down.

We've known for a while now that the release of the downloadable, episodic brawler Watchmen: The End is Nigh would coincide with the March 6 release date of the slow-mo film adaptation of the same name, but for the sake of certain specificity (say that five times fast), Warner Bros. just clarified the launch date of the game. Xbox 360 (and PC) users can find it in their usual Wednesday offerings on March 4, while PSN users can can pick it up on Thursday, March 5. They're cutting it awfully close to the film's opening night, but we doubt anyone will have much trouble blowing through the game's two-hour-long campaign in time for a midnight screening.

Man. Wow. We totally thought this one was going to be a clunker. Seriously, we gave the classic series appropriate fanfare whenever we received any news regarding it, but we were just doing it out of respect. We never thought that the Japanese game consuming populous would snatch up 86,000 copies of Street Fighter IV on its launch day alone. We were thinking it'd be more like a few hundy, maybe a thou by the weekend.
Capcom seems to be just as surprised as we are -- a community manager for the company recently reported that they were "overwhelmed by demand", and that the game had completely sold out in Japan. The only copies within the country's confines rest in a few boxes in Capcom's basement -- they'll apparently be sent out to retailers on Monday, and then snatched up with avarice usually associated with Turboman dolls.

The producer and writer of upcoming PSP arcade-style brawler “Unbound Saga” told me about the game’s fictional history, why it’s a PSN-only download and how it’s different from “Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.”
***
At New York Comic Con, I stopped by the Dark Horse Comics booth to check out the book publisher’s upcoming PSP title “Unbound Saga.”
Yep, that’s right — the PSP. The game, just announced this week, is slated for release in June and will only be available via digital distribution on the PlayStation Network.
Producer and writer Mike Kennedy from developer Vogster Entertainment was on-hand to demo the game. Clearly inspired by the likes of old-school, arcade-y brawlers such as “Comix Zone,” “Final Fight” and “Double Dragon,” “Unbound Saga” features the story of Rick Ajax, a beefy anti-hero who’s aware that he’s a comic book character and merely a pawn to The Maker, an omnipotent entity that tries him in various adventures requiring fisticuffs.
Along the way, Rick meets other characters, such as the assassin/spy/thief Lori Machete, and fights his way through over 30 unique enemies (like werewolves, sewer mutants, talking animals) through 120 different areas.

The PSP keeps selling, but Lord only knows who's buying it. It's certainly not people playing games on it, because aside from a few notable examples, the handheld has been starved of quality lately.
You know it. I know it. And Sony, Sony know it, SCEE's Claire Backhouse telling MCV:
Granted, perhaps there hasn't been the volume of high profile PSP titles we would have liked to have seen on the platform. But, that said, we continue to focus heavily on software development.
And that focus means new games, Backhouse promising "a number of currently unannounced, yet significant franchises that will re-invigorate the current user base" will see games released this year.
Details would be nice, but hard-up PSP owners will probably be content in the knowledge Sony at least have some intent.

via Eurogamer
The producer of Resident Evil 5 has insisted that no changes were made to the horror game after accusations of racism were levelled at Capcom for its portrayal of black Africans in a trailer.
Speaking in an interview with Eurogamer TV earlier this month, Masachika Kawata said: "I don't recall modifying the game in any way after the controversy of racism." Kawata-san reiterated that the team had been taken aback by the reaction, adding: "Actually it was a little bit of a surprise for us as obviously the game is set in Africa and so depicting native Africans was a natural thing to do."
With the game exactly a month away from release, the producer, who was answering through a Capcom translator, argued that criticisms had faded after more of the game was revealed to the public.
"One thing I remember is that after the introduction of the character Sheva, who is half-African, half-European, everything died down and we're quite happy with that," he said.
The row erupted following the release of the E3 2007 trailer, which prompted fierce debate about the implications of the imagery Capcom had used. Newsweek's N'Gai Croal brought widespread attention to the issue during an interview last year, which prompted Capcom to speak out in defence of its title.
You can watch the full interview with Masachika Kawata over on Eurogamer TV. And you can read our own take on whether the final game is likely to put to bed, or inflame further, the controversy.
Resident Evil 5 hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 13th March.

Q Entertainment released an expansion pack for Lumines Supernova containing 20 skins from the PSP game that started the series yesterday. With a name like “Classic Pack” you might expect “classic” songs like Shinin’, Lights, or Shake Ya Body. Well, you won’t find them here! The Classic Pack doesn’t have any licensed music from Mondo Grosso. If you want to play those skins stick with the original and put the $4.99 you saved towards Flower.

Inuyasha, Shinichi Mechazawa, Ippo, Hayate the Combat butler and a slew of other manga characters are meeting in the ring thanks to your friends Konami. Sunday x Magazine Shuuketsu! Choujou Daikessen takes icons from two competing manga magazines, Shonen Sunday and Weekly Shonen, and brings them together in a single PSP game scheduled to come out in Japan on March 17.
March 17? That’s about a month away and it doesn’t look like Konami is promoting the game much. Publications like Impress Watch have written more articles about Foreign Exchange Trainer Kabutore FX - a foreign currency training game than this. Ouch. Good thing Konami can count on the two manga magazines to give Sunday x Magazine Shuuketsu! Choujou Daikessen some attention.

Bummed that Capcom USA passed on Fate/Unlimited Codes and don’t have a PS2 equipped to play Japanese games? Don’t worry Fate/Unlimited Codes is coming to the PSP this June.
Fate/Unlimited Codes Portable is a port of the arcade game with tweaks like utilizing ad-hoc play for versus mode. Capcom also rebalanced the PSP version by adding features like Reflect Dash and simplified command system. Fans that already bought Fate/Unlimited Codes for the PS2 can look forward to some new costumes on the PSP.

If you want to unlock every character in Street Fighter IV without actually earning them, then you'll want to check out this little video put together by MyCheats Senior Editor Mike Nelson. He shows off just how easy it is to cheaply defeat the computer, without having to put in much effort. In fact, you could probably do this without even being in the room. Head past the break to see what we mean.
