Sony PSP price cut might be comingAnyone who has a child that wants a Sony PlayStation Portable for Christmas will more than likely receive a gift from Sony Claus. Experts and financial analysts believe that the success of the Nintendo DSLite will inevitably cause Sony to reduce the average retail price of the PSP from $199.00 to $149.00. While the PSP has sold 20 million units since its release, the DS has sold 21 million units. The DS has had major hit games such as “Nintendogs”, “New Super Mario Brothers” (a definite Nintendo staple), and “Brain Age” (4 million copies worldwide). PSP has not come out with a big-hit game since “Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories”, but hopes to have another with another installment of the “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories”. The DS Lite retails for about $129, but does not come with the movie-playing/video transfer options of the PSP. The possible reduced price could also be a result of the release of the PlayStation 3, coming this winter.

ASUS G2 & G1 Gameing Notebook SeriesThose who are into World of Warcraft (WOW) and other Massively Mulitplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) have finally had their prayers answered. Asus has released the G1 and G2, two laptop computers specifically designed with PC gamers in mind.
The difference between the G1 and G2 is only a matter of color and screen size. The G1 has a 15.4 inch screen with green Direct Flash lights on the side, while the G2 has red and a 17-inch screen. Both of them have a metallic, in mold decoration that prevents chipping. For gamers on the go, that is very important!
Internally, the G1 and G2 are very much alike as well. The only difference is that the G1 has WXGA/WSXGA color Shine LCD options and a 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce Go7700 graphics set, and the G2 has a WXGA display and a 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 card. Beyond that, they are pretty much the same inside and outside. You can choose from a vast array of Intel Core 2 Duo processors, up to 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, and up to 160 GB SATA hard drive.
These computers are ready to go wireless with 802.11a/b/g, as well as Bluetooth compatibility for linking with other wireless devices. Other features include Wireless Video Communication, which is a high resolution webcam and speaker built in the system itself that allow hands-free, wire-free communication and conferencing from one gamer to the other.
Another spectacular feature is the Interruption-free Live Information Update, which is an OLED side window that gives instant messages, system status, reminder alerts, and customized personal data that will assist the gamer with functions without taking away from the game.
Other features include a Light Scribe dual-layer DVD burner as well as a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam. It also comes with a plethora of ports including video output, an Express Card slot, flash card reader, and many USBs.
Believe it or not, the Asus G1 and G2 are available as sets, each one includes a backpack and mouse combination. Well, there is no word when these will hit the market, nor the price, but it sounds like this is a gamers’ “must have”.

BattleZone PSP Game SyStem ShipsDecades ago, back in the ancient eighties, a stand-up arcade game called BattleZone was released by legendary video game company Atari. The game used black-and-white graphics with green lines that somehow represented tanks, rocks, and other objects you were supposed to shoot. It was an unusual game, requiring you to stand on it and stare into a scope, as if you were in a tank. This was all part of the illusion, as your hands grasped two joysticks, you became a tank commander with the sole purpose of blasting other tanks. Controls were awkward, and first time players had to adapt quickly or get blasted. Needless to say, the game ate a lot of quarters.
Atari has released BattleZone to a new generation of PSP players. The graphics are a definite quantum leap from what they had before, and are quite photorealistic. It is set in futuristic and international military environments. You get to go through over ten worlds like ruined cities of Russia, jungles of China, desert canyons of the United States, Antarctica’s frozen tundra, and even the Canary Islands. The game puts you at the controls of highly maneuverable hover tanks, where you can use eight customizable team vehicles, plus a whole bunch of high-powered weapons.
Unlike the old-school BattleZone, this allows for multiplayer mode. In fact, the wireless mode allows up to four players to go head-to-head. Other methods of gameplay include Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Hotzone, Knockout, and Fox and Hound. And yes, there is still single-player option as well, but don’t be afraid to challenge yourself against others.
Additional content is available for download onto your PSP through the official website, www.battlezonegame.com, where you can get news, leader boards, and exclusive online level builder tool that allows players to customize game maps. Battlezone is available wherever PSP games are sold, for about $40-50 USD.
