PSP 3000 News

Rumors about a new Sony PSP console are reaching over from China. Sony is supposedly already producing the PSP-3000 console.

The new PSP-3000 would have built-in microphone, a new PS button similar to the one on the PS3 and possibly even be the long rumored PSP phone.
Leaked photos of PSP-3000 are supposed to support these claims.

It is hard to say if this new rumor of a new PSP is anywhere close to reality. Eventually Sony will update the PSP again as they have had a tremendous success with the PSP-2000.

Bleach Heat The Soul 5 - Review


Name : Bleach Heat The Soul 5
Genre : Fighting
Developer : SCEI
Publisher : SCEI

Bleach Heat The Soul series 5 is come out already and still running wild s it’s the first popular game everyone has been waiting for. With new character to fight with, new worlds to fight in and a whole new fighting system to try, Bleach Heat The Soul 5 returns to the PSP. Does this really brings something new to us? Or is it just the same? Find out in review of Bleach Heat The Soul 5

Story :
This game is already the fifth game in the Bleach on the PSP. And each of them seems to get better and better. This story starts where Bleach 4 ends. If you watch the anime and played the previous games, than you know where it begins and ends. Am I right? The game starts when they enter the world called Hueco Mundo. Why they are entered that world, is to save someone from the evil people. You will not see on this game at least you have to watch the anime to know what’s happening. The story is really simply put in this game. At the beginning of each fight, a short message is displaed, saying that what is actually happening. Some fights have a short cut scene, which isn’t really that special, because you only see them standing and looking at each other. The story is really straight and rally based on the anime. So there isn’t twist, it’s just fight your way trough it. You will continue your journey till you’ve defeated Grimmejow.

Gameplay:
The gameplay fithing system hasn’t changed at all. It’s actually the same, which 1 really like. Why you ask? It’s simple! The gameplay is really unique. This game isn’t really know with his huge combo system but every characters does has there own style if fighting and combo’s, but it’s simple to use. That’s why I like the control. The previous game was mess with characters. You had a whole collection of characters, but there were 3 Ichigo’s, 2 Ishida’s, 2 Rukia etc. This time they cleaned the whole place up. You can now choose better by just pressing the button and a menu will pop up and it will ask you which form you want. It made me clearly and easy to made the choice. You can also transform during your fight by pressing a certain button. Problem is that you can’t go back.

They added a new function. And that would be the Tag Battle. And I do have to say that this is really based on the Tag Battle. To get new character you will have to play the Tag Battle. What is that? Tag Battle can let you use 2 characters in 1 battle. You only play with 1 character, the other is behind you next to the screen. You can switch with each other when you want to. It also allows you some new things. You can do a double finisher, which allows you to do a lot of damages to your opponent. For example Ichigo and Hitsugaya, they don’t have special characters finisher move. So they just use their special attack normally. But when you put Ishida and Abarai together in a tag team, then they will use a special character finisher. If you see the anime, you have seen the duo work together. That’s there special on this tag battle. If you ask for more, why not you to fin it out.

Animation / Graphics:
They didn’t change a thing! I’m not joking. They didn’t change the characters graphically. The worlds are pretty much the same. Well.. The models are still good lloking. The fighting stages still is telling use what it really is. But what I hoped that the graphics part can upgrade in more advance and smoothly. The new world does have something new from the anime. if you watch the anime, then you will recognize the world in this game.

Music:
The music stayed the same. Their still fun to listen at, and the background music makes you playing the game even more.
Just like the previous games, the cast voice over are all in this game. Si there isn’t a fake tone you can hear. There isn’t really something to tell about the music.

Unlockable OSTs (Original Soundtracks) in OST mode. (OST1)
- You didn't think the OSTs you started with were all you got, did you? Of course not! Not only did they add more unlockable OSTs for DMP2 itself, but they decided to include the entire OST from DMP1's OST mode (minus the "Additional" OST Disc).
- I will point out that the song "River Flow" (DMP1 International version) which replaced "Dreadnought", will be treated as Dreadnought as far as unlocks go (OST and Album). There is no unlockable River Flow OST :

- Here's how to unlock all the OSTs for the DMP2 part of the OST! OST2 is for the songs that you play in DMP2 obviously.
Extend is part extended versions of the songs and part "bonus" or extra stuff. Air Trax has OSTs from songs that are only currently available in the Online version of DJMAX.
- When I say Clear ## songs, that means songs in DMP2. Link Disc, Missions, and Network Battles do NOT count towards this number.
- When I say get a combo of ##, that applies to Freestyle only. And you may ignore the numbers at the beginning of the unlock name. I did that so they would appear in the order I wanted them to.

Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Review


Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII achieves a striking balance of old and new, and juggles fan service with pure role-playing satisfaction. It's striking how these elements have been shaped into such an appealing and emotionally affecting prequel. There are some new characters and plenty of fan favorites too, such as Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith. However, the characters you're most likely to empathize with are unlikely ones, including protagonist Zack, and Sephiroth, who is complex, troubled, and even sometimes likable. The way their personal stories weave in and out of each other--and set the stage for the events in Final Fantasy VII--makes Crisis Core not just the finest role-playing experience available on the PSP, but also one of the best Japanese RPGs in years.

Zack isn't new to the franchise, but he was a mere flashback in Final Fantasy VII, which may not make him seem like the best choice of leading man for a prequel to one of the best RPGs ever created. Yet he's as interesting as any Square Enix star, and transcends the usual spiky-haired heroism and teenage angst with an uncommon maturity that develops as the game continues.Revealing almost any plot point could be a spoiler; the Gaia world is rich with mythology and complex character motivation. What's important is how the characters interact, change, and grow. Scenes between Zack and Cloud are both effortless and poignant, and stem directly out of Zack's most impressive character traits: trust and loyalty.

If you are Final Fantasy VII fans, this kind of attention to detail won't come as a surprise. However, you may be startled at how the combat works. Crisis Core is an action RPG. Granted, it does have many of the same elements as FFVII: materia, limit breaks, and so on. However, it plays nothing like its inspiration, which may irritate some fans. This doesn't make it better or worse, but it does make it different, and once you get used to it, it's a lot of fun. Battles are almost exclusively random, with the exception of those that end your side missions (more on those later). When combat begins, you are limited to a contained area, but you can move freely within it. To target an enemy, you simply face in its direction, and to attack, you hit X. It's not quite real-time, but rather a series of quick turns that give you a smidgen of time in-between to select a different spell or attack. You can switch among different options and spells on the fly using the shoulder buttons

The combat is fun, and it will get Final Fantasy fans talking. But no mechanical element is bound to get more attention than the Digital Mind Wave, or DMW. The DMW is a slot reel that holds the key to two important facets of Crisis Core's gameplay: leveling up, and powerful attacks called limit breaks. The reel contains six slots: three that contain character portraits, and three that contain numerical digits. As you fight foes, you earn soldier points, which in turn function as currency that keeps the DMW in the top left corner spinning. When the left and right character portraits match, you enter a separate limit-verge screen where you wait for the digit slots and the center character slot to stop spinning. If you match all three portrait slots, you unleash a limit break, which is accompanied by a dramatic cinematic. If you match numerals, you may level up an equipped materia or Zack himself. The DMW also controls some status changes, such as temporary invincibility, though they aren't signaled by a change to the limit-verge screen

Is it sound like very confusing?. Nevermind, it will take you some time to figure out how exactly what's going on. Essentially, leveling and limit breaks are left to the roll of the dice (or in this case, the spinning of the reel). The idea of random leveling and special attacks may make you squirm, and on paper, it sounds like a bad idea. In practice, it works out far better than you'd think. Just like when you pull the lever of a real slot machine, it's exciting and intriguing to see if you make a match. You can't skip past the limit verge screen, but if you could, you'd be missing the point.Your results are not completely random because your character's heightened emotions make it likelier that the DMW will spin up a positive result, such as after a phone call with Aerith. However, you may go a while without leveling up, only to level up multiple times in a short period of time. Sure, it's a strange system, and it will make your head spin at first. But it will become second nature, and in the end, it works. The downside is that it takes control of the game's most impressive attacks out of the hands of the player. Not everyone enjoys having the game do the grunt work for them, but the system is original and streamlined, and likely to grow on you.

Besides the main story, there are plenty of sub missions to keep up occupied. Most of them boil down to entering an area, killing a bunch of creatures, and earning your reward. It's simple, sure, but incredibly addicting, perfect for players on the go, and you may find yourself losing hour after hour to mission after mission. Some of missions can help you to get rare material or even though the DMW.Crisis Core is on the short side, clocking in at around 20 hours if you do a reasonable number of side missions, though you could add another 10 if you want to see every secret the game is hiding--and there are some good ones that will get fans talking. That may make the game feel less grand than previous entries, but in actuality, the length feels just right and keeps the action from wearing out its welcome.

You'll marvel at Crisis Core's visual and sonic beauty. Environments were designed with painstaking detail, from the slums of Midgar to the crystalline vistas of an underground lake. Character design is equally terrific, from Genesis' solemn sneer to Zack's gleaming blue eyes. Monsters look great too, and the imposing and astonishing bosses are particularly awesome to behold. The game sounds as good as it looks, starting with the terrific musical score, which includes both grinding rock tracks and haunting orchestral interludes. There are moments in which the action is undercut not with the same heart-pumping guitars we've heard before, but with softer tunes. These battles feel even more important because the music connects them so well with the emotional scenes that came before. Additionally, familiar sound effects have been updated and new ones added to make for combat that sounds as tremendous as it looks

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is a game you must play if you own a PSP, if you like RPGs, or if you want to get lost in a gripping story. Like most Final Fantasy games that came before it, it has its quirks.However, this is one of those cases where you should embrace them for their originality and charm because they add something uniquely compelling to the game.

Final Fantasy Yeah!!! Square Enix Yeah!!!

Warriors Orochi - Review


Warriors Orochi revolves around the idea that Orochi, the Serpent King, has used his vast powers to merge the Three Kingdoms era of China together with the Warring States period of Japan. These two historical times are, conveniently, the homes of Koei's well-known Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors franchises. So in the grand scheme of things, Warriors Orochi collects a huge number of characters from both series together in a big fight against Orochi and his demonic legions.

Thus begins the biggest, most unapologetic fan service crossover since Kingdom Hearts. There are four story campaigns to play through, each of which starts you off with a different group of characters that have a different ultimate goal, but unless you're well versed in the interpersonal relationships between the various characters as previously established (or to a much lesser extent, the actual history behind them), these stories will likely be incomprehensible to you. But that's OK, because they're all simply excuses to justify sending you wading hip-deep through hundreds upon hundreds of useless, nameless goons anyway.

The special addition to Warriors Orochi is the tag-team system, which lets you cycle between three different warriors at any time and create diversified teams to suit your tastes. Although there are no tag-team attacks (which I found extremely disappointing), you can chain together each character's Musou attack for added damage, which is a nice touch.

Ultimately though, this is a game you've played before. If you've spent even five minutes with a previous Warriors game, you'll be relatively familiar with the happenings in Warriors Orochi. This might not be a bad thing for some because a lot of gamers really love their hacking and slashing, but I would have preferred a more robust combat system.

But the PSP version does a number of things that I find quite commendable, including the fact that it's taking the entire console experience and putting it into portable form, with only a few minor sacrifices (the graphics have been toned down and cutscenes have been removed in favor of comic book style segments). While previous portable Warriors games segmented the battle environments to lessen the demands on the hardware, Warriors Orochi offers the full maps without any real alteration, which fans will certainly appreciate.

And if Warriors Orochi has just one thing going for it, it's the massive cast of characters -- a cast that can be leveled up and customized to ridiculous proportions. The PSP version also runs fairly well, though pop-in and jerky animations are still commonplace. Ad hoc multiplayer is a welcome feature, though you'll definitely encounter more slowdown there than in the single-player experience.

In a way, I feel as though Warriors Orochi is more at home on the PSP. A portable environment seems infinitely more conducive to a button-mashing experience than a home console setup, if only for the fact that portable games shouldn't require as much focus and can pass the time with quick bursts of play. Obviously some gamers on the go prefer a immersive experience, but there will always be gamers that want to power up, kill a few hundred soldiers and then power off without thinking too hard.

Warriors Orochi's graphics are uneven. The main characters are reasonably well detailed and animated, especially in their overly dramatic attacks, but the peons that make up the overwhelming majority of your enemies are not--the fact that there are only about five different types of enemies throughout the game is also a bit disconcerting. The environments are similarly drab and overused, and every swamp, grassland, and building looks nearly identical to every other swamp, grassland, and building. The few cutscenes that do appear are nicely animated, but the comic-book-style scenes peppered throughout are hilariously awful and goofy. Voice acting is as terrible as you might expect, and the game is accompanied by a ridiculous techno soundtrack.

When it's all said and done, if the thought of battling both Lu Bu and Keiji Maeda in the same game makes you squeal with delight, Warriors Orochi was definitely made for you. But everyone else is well advised to keep their distance from this pointless and frequently unfun button masher.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008


Pro Evolution Soccer makes its third annual appearance on the PlayStation Portable with PES 2008. Konami's football game has long been a favourite with fans of the sport, combining deep and rewarding gameplay with the addictive Master League and wireless multiplayer modes. Although this is all present and correct in this updated version, the game also suffers from issues that have long plagued the series, and it ultimately does little to warrant the upgrade.

PES 2008 may be realistic, but crucially it's also fun to play. If you've played this year's PlayStation 2 version, then you'll find that the two games are very similar, although the lack of four shoulder buttons on the PSP does make some difference to the controls. Supposedly, the big improvement over last year's game is the new teamvision system, which learns to react to repetitive techniques to make sure you're rewarded for mixing things up and trying out different forms of attack. In practice, the system does little to truly revolutionise the game.

Perhaps even more disappointing is the fact that the numerous weaknesses in the game continue to go uncorrected. The biggest problem is the lack of officially licensed clubs. In addition to the lack of major club teams, the choice of teams that have made it in is strange. Newcastle and Tottenham now replace Arsenal and Manchester United, which have reverted back to "North London" and "Man Red," respectively. Things are better in the French, Italian, and Dutch leagues, all of which boast a full contingent of clubs, but Spain and Germany, like England, fare less well. Once again, PES lets you create your own team, and you also have the option to edit player names and import/export them to and from the PS2 game. Unfortunately, no similar functionality is supported if you own the PS3 version.

Also unimproved from previous years is an atrocious soundtrack that is a far cry from the standard set by FIFA, and it's serviced almost entirely by Japanese pop numbers and bland electronic ditties besides the Kaiser Chiefs in the intro. Commentary is minimal, with phrases offered up only when a goal is scored. At least the crowd noises sound authentic thanks to the cheers, whistles, and horns blowing.

The graphics in PES 2008 look crisp and quite good overall, with realistic character movements and mannerisms, recognisable real-life players, and goals that look even better when you control the replays. However, we did experience the occasional slowdown when there was a lot of onscreen action, and load times are a tad on the long side. The menus look reasonably nice but they're confusing to navigate if you want to get into the nitty-gritty of injury and suspension.

The game has plenty to offer in terms of game modes, with single matches, World Tour, leagues, regional tournaments, training, ad-hoc multiplayer, and the Konami Cup. Master League makes a comeback after its PSP debut last year, allowing you to play a full season and control the management of your team along the way. It's not a full-blown football-management program, but it breathes new life into regular league competitions, given that you'll need to juggle salaries and player transfers as well as keep track of your club's finances. It's not realistic, especially because of the in-game currency "P points," but it definitely brings a greater feeling of attachment to your team while offering a decent long-term challenge. If you'd rather not focus on the business side of the sport, you can always choose a standard league competition, or the World Tour mode, in which you perform a number of tasks around the world. These include winning a comfortable victory of two goals or higher than your opposition, getting a few last-minute goals in to cinch a win, or perform a hat trick of goals. Nevertheless, it's a shame to see that online play still hasn't been incorporated, especially considering that this is offered in the Nintendo DS version.

Pro Evolution 2008 is a decent football experience and offers a wide variety of game types, a heap of customization, and a solid game of football. On the downside, it hasn't evolved at all since the last outing and has failed to improve on past weaknesses, including the lack of both licensed teams and online play. If you're willing to overlook these omissions or want updated rosters from last year's, then PES 2008 could be worth the investment, but otherwise there's little reason to upgrade.
