DFC Intelligence is reporting that the gaming industry had a spectacular 2007 performance, with the Playstation 2 still commanding the largest install base in homes worldwide. Of next generation consoles, the Wii has taken the lead, but overall, next-gen systems are being adopted slower than previously expected. The Playstation 3 is in last place, with Xbox 360 ahead of it, but not by much.
DFC points to another factor that is impacting sales, albeit in an unexpected way. The firm says that despite rising gas prices and a slowing economy, the industry has actually benefitted as more gamers stay home and play more. Video games provide a high rate of entertainment return on the dollar, making them a deal in a slowing economy.
DFC also projects that current-generation systems will not reach the install base of last-gen systems until 2013.

High Impact says it's "proud" of the visual splendour that it has achieved on PSP.
There's not a great deal of action in the shots (found below), because they're more aimed at comparing how the in-game worlds measure up to the concept art (also below).
"The whole team is proud of what we've been able to push the PSP to in Secret Agent Clank and look forward to seeing what the fans think of all the cool, exciting new worlds that we've come up with," said High Impact Games environment artist, Jeff Parrott.
Secret Agent Clank is expected to release later this month.

Insomniac Games has said that while Resistance 2 will have Trophy and PlayStation Home support, the features won't be added retrospectively for Resistance: Fall of Man.
Last week, during our live interview with Insomniac, CEO Ted Price was asked whether Trophy and Home support would be available for both Resistance games.
"We didn't notice the R1 in there, and while we are planning on the support for R2, we have no plans to update Resistance FOM [in this manner]," Insomniac told Eurogamer today.
Resistance 2 follows the continuing heroics of Nathan Hale in the face of the growing Chimeran threat, and features two campaigns - a regular single-player game of comparable length to the original first-person shooter release, and a separate eight-player co-operative mode. There will also be online multiplayer with support for up to 60 players.
The full game's due out in Europe this November.

New version of the sound plugin for PCSX2 (a PlayStation 2 emulator for PC).
Changelog:
GAH people! I forgot to disable the stretcher debugging prints in the build. I will release 1.9r2 without that print and MAYBE another fix, soon.
I uploaded beta 1.9 r2, which includes a EXPERIMENTAL mixer (yes a new one). It might be too loud for some games, but should generally give more approximate volumes, if I´m right.
Can you people try with games which used to be louder/quieter, and make none of them is extremely quiet, or extremely loud (overflowing)? I´d ike if you could help test this.

(A Nintendo DS version hit store shelves in March.) The seventh iteration of the best selling youth baseball video game, Backyard Baseball 2009 introduces a full line up of new features including a current player from every MLB team.

NASCAR 09, the latest version of EA Sports' racing simulation, has shipped today and will be available in retail stores starting tomorrow.
The twelfth iteration of EA's NASCAR series, NASCAR 09 features Jeff Gordon on the cover and in an advisory role throughout the game, guiding players to and through the game's major features. It marks Gordon's first time on the cover since NASCAR 06, where he ironically was on the cover with teammate Jimmie Johnson. It's the job Gordon did mentoring Johnson that led him to be the driver in this year's game that teaches you the ropes.
NASCAR 09 offers new features like the Paint Booth customization tool, a supplementary driving model designed to usher inexperienced players into the game, and more adaptable gameplay. It retails for $59.99 on next-gen systems and $39.99 for the PS2.

Weltall returns with a brand new CWCHEAT revision. REV “C” primarily focuses on cleaning up the situation created with REV “B” and fixing other various problems. It’s all detailed in the changelog below.
And for those who continue asking the question, “is there a Game Shark equivalent to cheat PSP games?” Yes, you’re looking at it. Cheat each and every PSP title, as well as PSOne game under POPS emulation, using Weltall’s CWCHEAT. Read the documentation to get started.
CWCHEAT 0.2.2 REV. C:
* [ALL] Fixed a timing bug which could lead to the dump function not working after enabling the usb mass device. this is because the memory stick device wasn’t mounted when the dump was taking place: making the function fail.
* [ALL] Removed some optimizations which made some regressions (rev b’)
* [ALL] Changed slightly the behaviour of pointers codes. now the q part is effectively useful by itself (this change is be needed for upcoming cheats)
* [ALL] Now if connected to a hotspot like connection (so a connection requiring the browser to login in the network), the db downloader will automatically open the browser to let you login upon connection. Making so possible to download the database through this type of hotspot (available only on 3.x build)

Poor, put upon Europe. You either had to pay exorbitant prices to import a Japanese or North American version of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII or simply wait patiently for the game's release on your continent on the 20th of this month. Well SCEE feels your pain, and they hope to ease it somewhat by offering a limited edition PSP Crisis Core game bundle, complete with the game and the silver engraved PSP the Japanese got when the game first launched there.
Of course those of you in the UK who already have a PSP they don't wish to replace with shiny silver goodness still get to benefit from the exclusive special edition, so while it might take a bit longer for you to get the games, Square Enix and SCEE definitely love you guys the best of all.

The Cell chip that forms the brains for your slick black PS3 has been used to power the fastest supercomputer in the world.
IBM's roadrunner supercomputer has shot into the record books after having become the first computer to process one quadrillion calculations per second. That's like one of those numbers you make up after a billion and, in more technical terms, is a f**king lot.
It managed that with 12, 960 Cell processors combined with 6,948 dual core AMD Opteron chips. We'd love to get Crysis running on that bad boy.
The previous record holder, the Blue Gene computer, had many more processors - 212,992 to be exact - but only managed half the processing speed (around 478.2 teraflops, if you know what they are). You can go here if you want to geek out on more specifics.
What does that mean for games? Nothing. But you can rest in the knowledge tonight that your PS3 has a good brain in its box.

Ubisoft has told GamesIndustry.biz that it still considers the PlayStation Portable as an important platform in the current videogames market.
"By way of further clarifying some recent statements made in the press, Ubisoft wants to reaffirm that it strongly supports the PSP, which holds a unique place in the market, addressing dedicated gamers and offering unprecedented power in a portable console," a spokesperson explained.
The statement comes after a GamesIndustry.biz interview last week with UK managing director Rob Cooper, in which he called for more direction from Sony with regard to its plans for the handheld.
However, while Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's own boss David Reeves recently admitted to GamesIndustry.biz that the platform did need more games, Ubisoft is keen to stress that it is looking to answer that call.
"We support the PSP with innovative game experiences and plan to publish around 12 PSP games this fiscal year, including titles for some of our top-selling brands."
Although sales of the PSP have fallen away in Europe, the platform continues to perform strongly in Japan, with lifetime sales of 9.5 million units and 2008 sales of almost 2 million, according to Media Create.

Ready at Dawn, the US developer behind two of the biggest releases on Sony's handheld, has confirmed it will no longer be making games for the PSP.
The studio was responsible for God of War: Chains of Olympus, a title that was honoured with the release of a limited edition PSP in the US. The game is also the highest-rated PSP title according to Metacritic, with an average score of 91 per cent.
Daxter, the studio's first PSP title released in 2006, had sold over two million copies by February this year, helped by being bundled with the ceramic white PSP in Europe and the silver SKU in the US, and later re-released as part of the Greatest Hits range.
"With Chains of Olympus going gold in Japan, we're now officially done with PSP development," said the company.
"Today we sent all out devkits back and seeing all these boxes ready to be picked up definitely marks the end of an era here at Ready at Dawn," the company said in a recent blog post.
Ready at Dawn first mentioned it wouldn't be making any more PSP titles in March.
As a start-up studio, it was a developer keen to sing the praises of Sony's handheld, with president Didier Malenfant criticising other developers for making excuses for inferior games.
"Everything is compromised, and it bugs the hell out of me when you hear a lot of developers saying, 'Well, we can't do this that way because it's a handheld game,' or 'We can't do this because it doesn't have a second analog stick,'" he told GamesIndustry.biz in March, 2006.
But the future of Sony's handheld console looks shaky. In a recent interview, Rob Cooper of Ubisoft said that Sony currently lacks direction with its PSP strategy, although he was also keen to point out that the handheld is still a viable format, with the publisher stating it has 10 PSP titles scheduled for release this fiscal year.
Sony Europe's president David Reeves also recently admitted that the format lacks new titles in Europe and the US, where the company is introducing new applications such as the Go! Explore sat-nav application.
However, sales in Japan continue to outperform its rivals in the region. Last week alone the console sold 71,896 units, helped by new PSP releases from Konami and Marvelous Entertainment.

After winning the great PSP-Hacks Homebrew Idol 2008 Competition, I'm glad to announce the fresh Idol Edition of Stakker PSP. As announced earlier, the Online Highscore table has been resetted, I wish all of you out there good luck for the top rank in it 
Back to the release itself:
Description
Stakker PSP is a fun game of building up and destroying towers made out of falling blocks. Build up your tower on the platform and don't let any piece fall off. If you reach high enough, destroy it with a projectile coming from the left and get points for each piece falling off the platform and bouncing against the screen borders.
Idol Edition Info
Everyone who downloaded the previous version should download the updated (link below)! New features and fixes are:
1. MP3 playback also from ms0:/PSP/MUSIC
2. Crash regarding the loading and listing of mp3 files (hopefully) fixed
3. In-Game platform is a bit higher now, loosing a level because of dropping a block too fast is less likely now (but still can happen)
4. Anti-Cheat implementation (play the game, don't take it apart :-P)
Video
Youtube Link:
Download
Idol Edition via mk2k.net: http://www.mk2k.net/releases/psp/gam...ition-mk2k.zip
Notes
Read the readme.txt for installation notes and read the ingame instructions for button configuration. The game comes with 4 EBOOTs which consider different situations to help the one or other out running Stakker PSP, details in the readme.txt.

New version of the GPU plugin for PCSX2 (a PlayStation 2 emulator for PC).
Changelog:
Many core functions were rewritten since the last release, and the sw renderer is multiple times faster. I did not compare the speed of the d3d renderer, maybe that also gained a few fps. Game specific fixes are tedious to make, I don´t really have time to check all uploaded .gs, but I will eventually.

Criterion has wheeled out a 10th July date for its upcoming "Cagney" patch for Burnout Paradise.
Inside it are three fresh modes: Road Rage, where four of you race through checkpoints while four others try to stop you; Stunt Run, where you do tricks at the same time to rack up points; and Marked Man, where you all gang up on one person to take them down before they can complete the course.
On top of this are 70 more Freeburn challenges to get stuck into, a Hunter Olympus and secret Criterion car, fresh liveries, custom soundtrack support on PS3, and a host of bug-fixes asked for by you lot.
Head over to the official Criterion site for a full list of those.
"Cagney" is the second meaty update for Burnout Paradise, and will be followed by "Davis" and its motorbikes in August, then "Eastwood" and its island this autumn.

While the game doesn't go on sale until June 12th, Reader Snake-87 tips us that as of 10:00AM today his local shop had 500 copies of MGS4. Each copy is priced at 20KD (US$75) — and hey, that's pretty damn close to Japan prices! Certainly, this isn't the only store breaking the street date — just the only store we've heard of in Kuwait doing it! Hit the jump to see how well MGS4 goes with Kuwaiti license plates.
