PSP Getting “Unique” Games, “Very Unique”
11:40PM Brian Ashcraft | The PSP really seems to on a role of late, doesn’t it? Don’t fret! Sony says that’s not going to stop anytime soon. According to Sony marketing manager John Koller, later this year the PSP will see some “very unique” titles with a focus on “franchise umbrellas”. That’s not including Final Fantasy: Crisis Core and Secret Agent Clank. All hype and hot air? Or does Sony really have some “very unique” in store? PSP Games Coming [PC Advisor] More »

Hammer Comes Down On Xbox Live Cheaters
10:30PM Luke Plunkett | Last year, MIcrosoft’s Larry Hryb issued a stark warning to Xbox Live users in the wake of some issues with identity theft and achievement tampering. Today, Microsoft have taken action against those found to be in violation of the service’s code of conduct. A number of accounts have been “affected”, with punishments ranging from a resetting of gamerscore to public shamings (above) to permanent bannings to all of the above. Those caught, you have, oh, none of our sympathies. Those unaffected, nothing more to see here, move along. Gamerscore Correction [Microsoft] More »

Bums…In…Space!
8:30PM Luke Plunkett | This is Twin Hobo Rocket, a pretty great downloadable game by Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl, creators of Tri-achnid. You control two bums. In space. As they pop balloons and pester aliens for spare change. It’s only 5MB, and has some wonderful toe-tappin hobo music, so go on, have a go. Freeware Game Pick: Twin Hobo Rocket [IndieGames] More »
