As you all may or may not know, PSP Go is the fresh off the press topic these days and us fellas here at iGamerz.org are interested in knowing your opinion.

Is the PSP Go worth forking out the money for when you already have a recent model?

The fact that you have all your UMDs already kinda makes it more of a hastle to buy a new system…doesn’t it?

So post your comments below and tell us how you feel.

Future PSP GO owners get ready…

According to Sony a majority of PSP titles will be available via the Playstation Store by October first.  Since the PSP Go has no UMD Drive this has been a general concern.  The other concern is how to we get our library of UMD titles on our PSP Go is we do upgrade?  From what we have heard is that Sony will be putting together some type of “good will program” to get us a digital copy of our UMD owned games.  What this program is yet we are not sure but as soon as the news hits, we will publish it!

Good news indeed!

According to Sony this is a minor update to improve system stability. Use the network update of your PSP to go and get it.

A fighting style game with all your favorite Mavel heros, Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects allows to kick the crap outta your least favorite characters with your favorite ones. Use your characters special abilities to conquer and defeat those who stand in your way(but use it sparingly because it has to recharge after a certain amount of usage.) A 3D fighting arena with Marvel Super Heros is baaaaaad news.

What the…

Start your game with only two available characters? What the hell is this crap? Johnny Ohm and The Thing are the only two characters you are allowed to use until you unlock all the others. Let me just tell you how grueling it is just to unlock other players. You have to beat a campaign mode of ten challengers in a best out of 3 round match just to unlock 1 or 2 new characters. This can take a long time so knowing me, I just looked up to see if there were any cheats to make this less of a pain in the butt. Well the answer is a big fat NO! You have to play the campaign (and beat it with every player) until you win. That’s it in a nutshell.

On the bright side, after defeating each character you get to select a card that gives you a limited amount of extra energy, or lets your powers recharge faster, or extra strength etc. There is also online game play for the competitive type. It can be fun but it gets awfully repetitive after you have been playing for a while.

Hows It Look and Sound?

The graphics are “eh” and the music is “eh..er.” The gameplay and controls are a hastle sometimes and only allow two control setup options (I hate games that do that.) I can’t really say too many things about this game. To make a fighting game with Marvel characters sounds awsome but it doesn’t deliver like you might hope (or at least like I would’ve hoped.) I’m gonna give this game a 2 1/2 outta 5 star rating. It’s just not that fun.

For some tips and tricks go to http://cheats.ign.com/ob2/068/681/681937.html

Peter Parker a.k.a. Spiderman is tossed into another villainous situation where friends become mortal enemies, and college professors turn into…well Doc Ock in a game adaption of the ever popular movie Spiderman 2. Play throughout warehouses and museums fighting thugs and rescuing civilians until finally meeting some expected and unexpected bosses. The game follows most of the movies story, but for extra fun (I guess) they decided to throw in a couple of added bonuses such as Shocker and a couple others I won’t mention for those who haven’t played it yet.

Do What Ever a Spider Can Do…With Limits

This isn’t exactly a free roaming game, but it is, but it ain’t, but still it is kinda. Those of you who have played The Spectacular SpiderMan for the PS2 shouldn’t be expecting the same thing with the movie adaption games. I thought I was in for another go at New York City when and where I wanted, but this game is based more on missions and such. There are a few levels where you get to swing around, but it’s during a mission and you don’t get to explore much (unless you sneak away somehow.)

If you have seen the movie, then you pretty much know what to expect for the storyline. They did add a few things to spice it up, but nothing too amazing. Actually the added things can be a bit annoying. For the most part you can assume that your playing a souped up version of the actual movie.

And?…

The graphics are what you would expect in gameplay, but the cut scenes look great. The music is just average with the heavy metal guitars at boss fights (you know what I’m talking about.) They tried to get the animation to fit the movies sequences to a tee in some scenes, and they did a pretty good job. As far as game play and controls are concerned, you have no worries there. The only thing that is a little bothersome is when you climb a wall and the camera goes crazy and you can’t figure out which direction you going. Also when your swinging webstyle it can be a little confusing at first.

All in all I’d say it’s a pretty good game. If your a fan of the series you might as well grab this one to add to your collection. Don’t let the box and the commercials fool you though, this might not be what your expecting in a SpiderMan game but it’ll probably do the trick for ya. 3 1/2 stars outta 5 for me.

PSP owners will be pleased to know that for the first time ever, a Soulcalibur game is gonna be available for it this summer. Oh yea. And that’s not all. Guess what? Go on take a guess. Oh all right I’ll tell ya. God of Wars Kratos will be a playable character with his Blades of Chaos and everything. His fighting style is gonna be very similar to GOW games but I’m sure with a few more goodies. A few new characters are also gonna be available with new and improved moves and attacks. This is sure to be a great one. We will be updating as we hear.

Join Ratchet and Clank on a hand held adventure through the universe. Access Ratchets arsenol of weapons to blow up your targets to bits with the biggest and most rediculous weapons available. Isn’t that what the games all about anyway, blowin stuff up? I mean come on, how does he even carry all those weapons at once huh? Can somebody explain that to me? Please?

Size Don’t Matter, It’s How You Use It….Your Guns That Is

Just like your favorite R&C games for the PS2, this one is all fun all the time. The game pretty much takes place in outer space as you travel from planet to planet killing robots with huge guns…thats pretty much it…but how fun does that sound? As you progress through the game you collect bolts from all the enemies you kill until you can purchase the latest and most expensive blaster available. Some of these guns are so destructive that you can actually send your enemies into a black hole (you gotta play the game to know what I mean.)

Not all the levels require Ratchet to jump around and smack robots with a giant hammer, some levels use Clank as the hero. In certain levels Clank turns into a giant with Ratchet as the passenger. Also there is an arena where you can collect some bolts to make more purchases. Fly around, walk around, even swim your way through the mud in an adventure that is sure to run your PSP battery to no bars.

Graphics, Sound, and Fun

As you may or may not know, I’m a huge fan of fun (that’s sarcasm for those who can’t understand it.) Insomniac knows what the general gamer enjoys and gives you lots of it. The graphics are no less than its PS2 cousins, and the music is on point as well. I’m gonna go ahead and recommend this one to ANYBODY in the world because it’s that good. In fact, I’m gonna go ahead and recommend all the R&C games for every console to everyone in the world. If you don’t like this game or any other R&C games, come see me and we’ll fix ya right up with a nice lobotomy. Need I say more?

Good news to all who are fans of the fearsome foursome (and PSP owners.) Ghostbusters the video game will now be available for PSP and the Playstation 3. Here is one Sony associates take on it.

“With our colleagues at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe publishing Ghostbusters: The Video Game, we are thrilled by the dynamic new Ghostbusters game. We think it will have tremendous appeal to gamers and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this beloved franchise.” said Mark Caplan, Vice President of Licensing-Interactive for Sony Pictures Consumer Products. “With this superb game launching alongside the Blu-ray release, we will reach existing fans and the next generation, bringing them all into the irresistible Ghostbusters universe.”

Parkour is the art of fluid motion through an urban evironment (so they say) and you are a tracier…one who practices Parkour. Ahh yes that sounds fun doesn’t it? Well if your interested in jumping off of building onto another, or running against walls and jumping off and all that good stuff then this games for you. If only I had an athletic bone in my body…………..oh well I’ll just stick to video games.

Just Do It:

Select a character and get started on your training as some guy named Sebastien guides you through the steps of Parkour. Learn how to run up walls and jump off while hitting the right button combo upon landing. Actually running up walls is the least of what you’ll get yourself into in this Mirrors Edge wannabe. The only difference between this game and Mirrors Edge is the 3rd person view that you have throughout the game aside from the graphics and fun. After you finish training you are ready to get to the real action. Go through levels with your skills and unlock newer levels.

This game is pretty basic in that you defeat a level and move on to the next, but at your own discresion. The moves arent always easy to pull off because there’s so many button combos you have to remember, but once you have them down and become a real live tracier you’ll start having the limited amount of fun that this game offers. It’s like acrobats, but in the city.  As in most games like these you can unlock videos and clothes and such but nothing really special.

Whats the Deal?

Well here’s the deal…I can’t really say that this is a great game because it’s not. I mean, it’s ok but nothing great. The graphics are mediocre and the music is repaticious (meaning all you hear is the tamborine and the urban drum sound throughout the whole game.) The controls are iffy and sometimes pulling off moves is a little tough. If you’ve mastered them then there isn’t much of a problem, but it could take a while.

My honest opinion is if you want a game that claims to be a free roaming game, then get Spiderman or something. I’ve often sat there and wondered why I was playing it, but at times I was happy that I was. It’s just fun to run and jump around and do all the tricks for a while, but then it gets tiresome. I’ll put this game in the rainy day section.

Cheats and Walkthroughs are not yet available for this game.
