Sneak Peek of Xyanide Resurrection

PSP owners will be delighted to catch hold of some new screenshots of Playlogic’s new shooter which is known as Xyanide Resurrection, courtesy of Gamespot. I’m not too keen on the premise of the game as it involves shooting larger-than-life pre-pubescent, scantily-clad boys in outer space, but there are sure to be a few folks who would beg to differ. Whatever floats your boat, mate. Playlogic claims that this game will feature video-streaming technology that meerges both video backgrounds and real time game screens, touting it to be the first in a handheld game. Those in the Nintendo camp beg to differ as they claim that Nanostray on the DS and Iridion 2 on the GBA have already forged this path. Source: PSP Fanboy

Check out the brand new Jeanne d’Arc trailer that features a handful of the game’s 150 characters. There are also tons of footage from the game’s cut scenes to keep you entertained as well as grid-based combat action. Based loosely on the story of the historical Joan of Arc, this Japanese-centric title for the PSP will come with 40 to 50 stages and ought to keep you occupied from anywhere between 7 hours to 25 hours before reaching the finish line. It might not be a Final Fantasy or even come close, but at least it offers something different in view of the current situation. Jeanne d’Arc will ship in Japan from November 20th onwards. It won’t be released in the U.S. at the moment, so you will have to import one if you want it for Christmas. Source: PSP Fanboy

Psyberjock from DCemu has the passion and time to come up with this delicate operation which turned his beloved PSP into something that is totally out of this world. The UMD disc tray emits a cool, blue glow of light after 30 hours of work and a few tablespoons of electrical wizardry. He claims that he will not post a How-To Guide as the difficulty level is just insane. It all adds up as if you can’t figure out this mod by yourself, chances of breaking the PSP or your UMD tray is extremely high. Source: PSP Fanboy

After Burner: Black Falcon from Planet Moon Studios is starting to shape up to be one of the better looking titles on Sony’s handheld console. This classic from the halycon days of Sega has been blessed with polygons beyond measure and look set to set the skies alight with its fast-paced action. This PSP-exclusive title will come with a completely unique storyline as well as character development, something which is getting rarer these days for video games. There are over 30 single player missions to keep you occupied when this title hits store shelves, while various multiplayer modes are guaranteed to keep you going long after the single player novelty has worn off. Look out for After Burner: Black Falcon’s release sometime next spring. Source: PSP Fanboy

The Megaton firmware has finally arrived, and all you need to do to obtain it is to access the Network Update and download the file. Some of the expected updates include changes such as the addition of Remote Play under Network, the inclusion Online Instruction Manuals, timed recording, a visual player as well as 3-speed fast forward and fast reverse. Those who are unfortunate enough not to have WiFi access can download the file manually and connect your PSP via USB. Head on to the PSP/GAME folder, create an “UPDATE” folder and place the EBOOT file there. In closing, you must access your Memory Stick’s games, and choose the update from there. Source: PSP Fanboy

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops looking good

We all know how Metal Gear Solid is one great game on the PSOne and PS2 platforms, but how will it fare on the PSP when it is released? From what we know at Gamespot, they have what looks like a near-complete version of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops with them, so head on there for a detailed video preview that boasts a whole lot of new in-game footage. Everything sounds good at the moment from all aspects, so we could have a killer app for the PSP with Portable Ops. Hopefully the load times for this title would not kill the pace of the game. No word on when it will be released though. Source: Gamespot
