Much like what we’ve seen with Dead Space, a survival horror title, Dante’s Inferno, a game based on a “definitive view of the afterlife”, will be getting the animated treatment in the form of a animated feature; this is no new announcement, Electronic Arts announced the animated feature along time ago, however, this is the first trailer.

Tracking Dante’s decent into hell, the upcoming animated feature follows his pursuit to retain the soul of his beloved, Beatrice. In which, Dante encounters “many gruesome forms of evil” that dwell within circles of hell. This animated feature will release in February 2010, the same month that Dante’s Inferno is unleashed upon the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the Sony PSP. Enjoy the very entertaining trailer.

Today we’d like to offer you a glimpse into this world of despair with a trio of new screenshots from the Sony PSP version of EA and Visceral Games’ gruesome action-adventure, Dante’s Inferno. However, be warned; there’s are somethings better not seen.

Probably one of the most prominent features on the PSPgo is the ability to transfer UMD games onto the digital-only system. However, according a SCEA spokesperson, owners of PSPgo will NOT be able to transfer the UMD disc-based titles onto the system on its launch date – as previously thought.

“We were evaluating a UMD conversion program, but due to legal and technical reasons we will not be offering the program at this time,” the SCEA spokesman reported Kotaku. If you go back to this year’s E3 Expo, Sony did state that they were hoping to allow UMD games to be transferred over to the PSPgo by its launch. But, that didn’t turn out as we hoped.

In a plan to celebrate the upcoming launch of the PSP Go, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced a special promotion to help existing PSP owners with UMDs, to start their digital games collection for PSP Go.

With PSP Go Rewards (yes, that’s what it’s called) you can download three much-loved, or totally new PSP titles for free, and put your new PSP Go to the test. These titles include; Killzone Liberation, Medievil, Wipeout Pure, Buzz Brain Bender, Buzz Master Quiz, SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Everybody’s Golf, Resistance: Retribution, Syphon Filter Dark Mirror, Lemmings, LocoRoco, Patapon, Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow, Echochrome, Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice, and Daxter. There are seventeen titles to choose from in all, and the process is simple…

1. Unwrap your shiny new PSP Go and start it up; 2. Connect to PlayStation Network and activate your new or existing PlayStation Network account for PSP Go Rewards; 3. Start up your current PSP and connect to PlayStation Network; 4. Login using the same PlayStation Network account , and launch PlayStation Store; 5. Pop one of your UMDs into the drive of your current PSP and register on PSP Go Rewards when prompted; 6. Download a PSPgo theme; 7. Wait for your email voucher for your three free games; 8. Choose, download and enjoy!

Promotion starts on 1 October 2009 and runs until 31 March 2010. Promotion open to owners of a PSP-1000, 2000 or 3000 and at least one UMD, when they purchase a PSP Go. Titles may vary by territory and age restrictions apply. However, at this time, the Rewards program is unconfirmed for the North America.

Announced in Japan last month, Sony Computer Entertainment America announced their newest installment to the growing list of “Entertainment Pack” bundles for the PSP, the Limited Edition Gran Turismo Entertainment Pack for North America.

The limited edition entertainment pack includes a “Mystic Silver” PSP-3000 system, Gran Turismo PSP on UMD, PlayStation Network downloadable movie voucher (title to be announced), a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, and a music voucher good for 10 downloadable songs from Sony Music Pass. The Entertainment Pack will release on October 20 for $199.99 in North America.

“Gran Turismo is one of the most successful gaming franchises in history, so what better way to mark Gran Turismo’s premiere on the PSP system than by offering it with the only portable device that can deliver its rich, true-to-life graphics and unrivaled driving experience,” said John Koller, Director, Hardware Marketing, SCEA.

If you own an iPhone, and you love Chinatown Wars, I have some very exciting news for you. Today, Rockstar confirmed that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will headed be to Apple’s handy portable system this fall. “Chinatown Wars is a perfect match for the iPhone and iPod touch,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “We are very excited to bring this incredibly ambitious version of Liberty City, with this level of detail and immersive gameplay on Apple’s new gaming platforms.”

Chinatown Wars is currently available for the Nintendo DS and is also coming this fall for the PlayStation Portable system. The game follows the story of Huang Lee, a young Triad who travels to Liberty City after the mysterious death of his father. Players will navigate their way through the streets as they uncover the truth behind an epic tale of crime and corruption within the Triad crime syndicate, delivering the unprecedented amount of depth that has become a true trademark of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

We were a bit disappointed when Sony confirmed that the PSP Go wouldn’t come bundled with Rock Band Unplugged like we previously heard. Now, we know as to why Sony didn’t bundle the game with the PSP Go. Anyway, instead of the full game, you’ll receive a “voucher” for an exclusive demo of the title. But, wait there’s more.

Sony has stated, on the PlayStation.Blog, that Rock Band Unplugged Lite – yes, that’s what the demo’s called – is basically a demo of the game that allows you to play five tracks from the complete game. However, it will accept downloads from the Rock Band Unplugged store, effectively allowing players to build a track list of their own, which is great news.

Presented by Timbaland and developed by the studio behind Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Rockstar Games has revealed that its music application, Beaterator, will release in North America on September 29 for the PlayStation Portable and the PlayStation Network. But, that’s not all. They even released a video of Timbaland showing the game – shown below.

“I’ve worked closely with Rockstar Games to make something completely unique,” said Timbaland. “Beaterator is like taking my music studio and turning it into a suite of tools anyone can use. We can’t wait to hear the beats people make and share with the world.”

Initially created in 2005 as a Flash application on Rockstar’s website, Beaterator quickly took on a life of its own. Featuring thousands of loops and sounds made by both Timbaland and Rockstar, Beaterator puts the power to make professional-level music at your fingertips in a format that’s portable, accessible and fun.

Fans have been demanding a reason as to why Konami and Kojima Productions would release the next installment of the Metal Gear Solid saga on to the PSP, instead of releasing  it on the Playstation 3. During the latest episode of the Kojima Productions podcast, Sean Eyestone explained the teams decision to develop Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP.

“We want people to go out and socialize with other people. You know physically take your PSP with you, go to your friend’s house and hang out together,” said Eyestone. ”Of course, we could have done co-op, maybe, on PS3 or something like that. But, whenever you do online co-op, that actually, in a way, kind of discourages people from playing together.”

He later stated that, “So not just going home to your respective houses playing online but actually physically coming together, enjoying yourself and kind of recapturing that old-school feel of playing together, enjoying a game together.”

When you put it that way, I’m actualy very happy they did this. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will release exclusively on the PSP sometime in 2010.

“May is typically one of the lowest revenue-generating months in any given year for the industry in general,” she added.

During the demoing of Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, the first Soul Calibur title coming exclusive to the PSP, at E3 players were left in amazement at the reveal that Kratos, from Sony’s God of War series, will be playable in the final version of Broken Destiny.

However, we have received news that Kratos wasn’t playable at the demoing of the game. But, 1UP did manage to gain a pic of Kratos within the character select screen.

It looks like the PSP is heading to hell. We already knew that EA was planning on releasing the game on the 360 and Ps3, but what we didn’t know was that they were also planning a PSP version for the game.

In a press release revealed this morning, Electronic Arts revealed that EA Redwood Shores studio and Artificial Mind and Movement (A2M), the developers of WET, are currently working together on the PSP version of Dante’s Inferno. In which they are planning to release next year – along with the other versions of the game. 

“Our team and the team at A2M are taking the vision for Dante’s Inferno and translating it directly to the PSP,” said Jonathan Knight, executive producer and creative director on Dante’s Inferno. “PSP owners can expect to get the same level of fast, responsive gameplay through all nine detailed and unique circles of hell we are aiming to achieve on the consoles.”

Trust us when we say that this isn’t a Apirls fools joke. Today, Sony has announced that Jak and his mischievous sidekick Daxter are back together, and for the first time-ever on the PSP and PS2 in Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier.

Prepare for non-stop action and adventure as the duo travel across mysterious lands and take to the sky on a mission to save their planet from destruction.

Picking up from where the original Jak and Daxter trilogy left off, Jak and furry friend Daxter team up with their friend Kiera on her quest to become a Sage and save their world from the threat of darkness. As the environment of their planet slowly dies, our two worldly heroes embark on a mission to protect their world from the threat of ‘dark eco’. Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier will release on both platforms this Autumn.

While many of us are home enjoying the PSP version of Resistance, when talking to the PlayStationBlog in a ‘little chat’, director Chris Reese revealed that Bend Studios has ‘no plans’ for Resistance: Retribution downloadable content.

“Currently there are no plans for DLC,” said Retribution technical director Chris Reese.

Creative director John Garvin did add that more Retribution themes and wallpapers should be available on the PSN soon, though, so technically there will be new content.

Hey, do you remember the crazed Strangle Hold-like mediocre shooter that was on last-gens consoles entitled, ‘Dead to Rights’? Well, it looks like the game is coming back, but not on the PlayStation Portable (PSP) but on this gens systems.

In the March issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine, it reveals that Namco is planning to release a brand new entry in the Dead to Rights franchise for PS3 and 360, which is coming in the fourth quarter of 2009. The game is being developed by Volatile Games, who did games like Reservoir Dogs.

The game will have a heavier focus on hand-to-hand combat other than the previous three versions, counting the PSP version, but it’ll still retain third-person shooting mechanics. Staring Jack Slate and set in Grant City, the game will feature the return of Shadow, which is the dog – although this time it’s a stray Jack finds, other then a police dog.

And according to 1UP, it looks like the game has a sort of Jason Bourne-style, meaning it’s alot more action oriented.

In response to the latest PlayStation Portable 2 rumors, which were started by IGN, a rep from Sony has replied to the, so-called, ‘non-sense’ rumors.

When speaking to TechRadar yesterday, a SCEE rep told them that in no uncertain terms that there were definitely no current plans for a PSP 2, despite IGN’s claims from its unnamed sources.

To quote original IGN article: IGN has learned from several credible sources that the PSP 2 is indeed on the horizon, and will be packing multi-touch technology. According to our sources, the PSP 2 will feature a widescreen multi-touch interface comparable to that of the iPhone for both in-game control and menu navigation.

Announced back at E3 for the PlayStation Portable, Resistance Retribution looks to bring life on the PlayStation Portable with the style of Resistance. Lucky, for the fans of the ground smashing title Resistance: Fall of Man, and 2, and the upcoming title Resistance Retribution, they will get to sample the game very soon.

When you pre-order Resistance Retribution through Amazon US before January 12th, you will receive an unique code which allows you to download and play, with early access to it, the Resistance Retribution demo.

The full game will support Resistance 2, similar to what is between the Wii and Nintendo DS. Only here it’s different. Once you hook up your PSP to your PS3, you will be able to play an alternate story through the special ‘Infected Mode’.

But, sadly, the demo does count for people in North America, mainly because restrictions to regions where the Amazon US ships to.

After the PSP version of the hit PS2 game, God of War, video game developer Ready At Dawn reported that it wasn’t going to be making anymore PSP games in the future.

Now, however according to a post on their official website, 2 out of 5 top PSP games sold on Amazon in the US last week were Ready At Dawn games. And right after they reported that, there was a little messages on the bottom of the post saying, “maybe we should reconsider this whole ‘no more PSP games’ thing because we seem to be doing pretty good at it.”

It was report back in June that the company wasn’t going to be making anymore PSP games,  here’s what the company said,  “we’re now officially done with PSP development.”

“Today we sent all out devkits back and seeing all these boxes ready to be picked up definitely marks the end of an era here at Ready at Dawn,” the company continued.

While Nintendo is still leading the pack, if you ask Activision Blizzard for their input on the out growth of a system they seem to think that the PS3 will see more growth than the Xbox 360 by the end of ‘08. According to GameDaily, in a conference call Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith provided the company’s expectations for console hardware growth in North America and Europe combined.

Griffith said that while the Xbox 360 is expected to grow by an additional six to seven million units for this calendar year, Sony’s PS3 should grow by eight million units. But, anyway if you were to point to fact neither the PS3 nor the 360 can stack up against the Wii, but it depends on which continues to sell at a torrid pace. But, he does expect the Nintendo Wii to sell by another 15 million units this year.

He also mentioned that Activision believes handhelds will grow by 24 million units, but he did not break that down into DS vs. PSP sales, go figure.

Remember all the fun you had playing Phantasy Star on the Playstation 2 and Sega Dreamcast? Well, imagine being able to relive all those moments over and over again on your PSP. Since the game has only been given a date for Europe there’s no date yet for the US version of the game. But, yet today Sega announced that the game will indeed be headed to the US, but there’s also a bad side to every good one, according to Sega the game has been limited to “ad-hoc” mode instead of online Multiplayer. So yeah, once again America gets the short side of the stick, but it’s ok. We also will get four player co-op and, of courses, single-player story mode.

One of Sony’s upcoming PSP games, Resistance Retribution, will use a newly developed technology called “PSP Plus.” So what is “PSP Plus” and why does it sound like “WiiMotionPlus”? According to the guys over at Joystiq, PSP Plus is a new function that will allows players of Retribution to connect their systems to the PS3, in order to enable use of PS3 wireless controllers. Using the DualShock will enable dual-analog control in the game. In addition, rumble will be supported. Other games may be able to potentially utilize PSP Plus — however, it is currently a Retribution-only tech. And to answer the other question I really do not know why they call it “PSP Plus” it’s just the name, or it could be because it adds to the PSP.

Today, EuroGamer had the chance to talk to Media Molecule’s co-founder Mark Healy, he told EuroGamer that, “There’s definitely scope for a PSP version… We’ve had discussions and talks, [but] nothing concrete at the moment.” He then went on to tell EuroGamer his ideas for a handheld version of the game, “It’d be great to make – for the people who are really into the Create side – some kind of companion products that allow you to create things while you’re on the train,” he said. “One thing that I’d love to add is the ability to create you’re own music, for example, that you can import into the game. That seems like an obvious one to do and it’d be quite easy really.”

As you can see by the little information given there’s still alot of room for a PSP version of the game it’s just that the team needs a little bit of creativity to help them make another game. Hopefully there will be a bit of creativity and we will be able to see the game on the PSP.

There have been many rumors of games making their way on to the PSP, now according to a dutch gaming website we will be adding one more game to the list. According to PS3Life, after games like Resistance, MotorStorm will be making it’s way on to the PSP for the first time. The dutch gaming website also reports that a leak informed them of this story stating that a British retail chain is calling for a MotorStorm for the PSP. Now, we are going to have to wait for the official word from Sony.

MotorStorm was one of the first games for the PlayStation 3 and it’s planing to make a second trip on the PS3 with MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. The game was orginal called MotorStorm 2, but the name was recently change by Sony, or something like that, into MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. Speaking about MotorStorm: Pacific Rift today they also revealed the box-art for the game (Just click here).

As many of us may already know this holiday season, if you are a gamer, you may need to take a loan on something because man are you going to need it. Well, with many release date given for almost every week of the holiday season it looks like if Rockstar wants you to take sometime off so that you can really beat one of the many games you are to buy before you buy another. Today, Take Two has decided postponed two of the upcoming Midnight Club games, Midnight Club: LA and the PSP spin-off Midnight Club: LA Remix. The release dates are now changed from October 7 to a few week later, October 21.

SCEA’s Al de Leon has revealed some very important information to PSP fanboy, he apparently confirmed with them that the PSP’s extended life battery kit has been discontinued. The product nearly doubled the battery life on PSP-2000 systems, but it did come with a price, a larger battery cover which created a bulge in the system. The battery life span was as 12 hours and more making it easier for you to play your PSP on the go.

“Yes, we are discontinuing this product as we look for other opportunities to service the consumer,” said de Leon. We just hope that we see a better extended life battery kit from SCEA sometime soon.

Sony may have "just began to scratch the surface" , but maybe they can make hole with. Sony has just announced Resistance for the PSP intitled, Resistance: Retribution.

Rumors, rumors, rumors. They all fly around at will until someone gives you a straight answer….. and sometimes when we want the rumor to be true, they don’t turn out true. But, lets just hope this ones true. According to PlayStation Beyond , Gamestop has posted God Of War III for a March 2, 2009 release date, while the retailer release dates are not usually a reliable source of information. God Of War I and II released in March of 2005 and 2007 respectively, and Chains Of Olympus for the PSP came out this past March. 3 God Of War titles all in March. And so you get the point…….

Update:

Had a little typo just now, I must be smoking something……

Star Wars: Battlefront III ,as of right now, looks like it maybe a reality as somewhat states current rumors on the net. While it is in development at Free Radical, a Amazon.com listing provides that it will be launched on every major console. Everyone will have to wait until the coming up E3 event next week for the official announcement from Lucas Arts. This is great news for fans of Star Wars and it will also be a good chance for a new generation a chance to uncover the series of great quality gaming , so just wait you’ll see!

A rumor has been circulating throughout the web, stating that Capcom could be bring one of there beloved games to the PlayStation Portable system for sometime now. But, according to the Japaneses PSP Game Listing for Capcom, Capcom maybe bring Devil May Cry to the PlayStation Portable after all. The list shows recently released and unreleased PSP titles, when the list it translated it says the release date is "To Be Determined". Could this mean that Capcom maybe planning to reveal the PSP version of the game at the upcoming E3 this month? We really don’t know at this point but lets just hope they are.

Update: There has been a title change becuase of bad wording also there has been a little editing done to the story.

With the fact that Grand Theft Auto IV has sold more on Xbox 360 than PlayStation 3, a press release was issued by Microsoft which proclaimed that the “Xbox 360 generates more dollars at retail for third party publishers.” or in layman’s terms, Microsoft is trying to get there hands on Metal Gear Solid 4 for the 360. But, get this….there are using sale figures to get Konami to bring Metal Gear Solid 4 onto there system.

If you didn’t know, we reported some time back that Grand Theft Auto IV did phenomenally well on Xbox 360, 2 out of 1 times better then the PlayStation 3.
