132w ago - Today Sony's European Product Manager Phil Lynch has posted up a video of Giant Invizimals in Combat on the PlayStation Portable handheld console.

For those curious, Invizimals Shadow Zone is out this week for PSP 3000.

To quote: Phil here again with another Invizimals video. Following the large traps experiment we posted on the 18th October, we had lots of requests to see a battle using the large trap.

The guys at Novarama in Spain have obliged with the video below. The guys in the background are Novarama's Dani Sanchez-Crespo, Lead Designer on Invizimals, and Juan Luis Abadia, the Lead Programmer.

Those interested can check out the video below!

133w ago - SCEE Associate Producer Jan Kuczynski has announced today that No Heroes Allowed is out now for PlayStation Portable on PSN and has shared a fresh video trailer of the PSP title as well.

To quote: Just a quick reminder that No Heroes Allowed! goes on sale on PSN today priced at £9.99/€12.99. To celebrate, we've also got a new trailer which I've uploaded below.

And here's something for fans of the series - below are just a few of the new monster and hero types you'll find in No Heroes Allowed!

There are loads more mutations and rare breeds this time bringing the total amount of monsters well over the 200 mark.

You'll also notice Badmella, daughter of Badman and heiress to the Underworld - she plays a big role in this game (if only mostly to complain about the lack of mobile reception in the dungeon).

135w ago - Today Team17 Community Manager Mark Baldwin has introduced Worms: Battle Islands for the PlayStation Portable handheld console.

To quote: This winter sees the release of the latest game in our long running Worms series, Worms: Battle Islands, on PSP available from PlayStation Store.

Worms: Battle Islands marks the third time that the series has made an appearance on the PSP, and the game is packed with content and great new features, some of which I'll be talking about in this post.

Game overview:

The first thing to say about the game is that at its core it's the traditional 2D Worms experience.

It's a turn based game where players use a mix of strategy and skill to move their army of worms about a landscape, and attack one another with a range of funny weapons (exploding sheep, deadly bananas, fully automatic sub machine guns, etc.) until the last team standing are declared the winners. The physics are much more solid in this version and the game features a sizable inventory of forty different weapons and utilities, leading to more complex strategies and a more rewarding experience.

Environments:

In this game the players can do battle in six different environments. Often in Worms games the game's themes have...

136w ago - SCEE UK Software Product Manager Phil Lynch has shared a video today showcasing Invizimals: Shadow Zone on the PlayStation Portable handheld.

To quote: As you may know, Invizimals is a PSP title that uses cutting edge augmented reality technology (a fancy name for combining real and virtual environments which are interactive in real-time).

I really wanted to share with you what happens when you use a large trap to view your Invizimals, instead of the one usually used with the game. This video shows the OCELOTL moving from a regular trap in my hand to a large 2Ã--2 metre trap.

I've also got some behind the scenes videos that I'll post over the coming weeks in the run up to Invizimals Shadow Zone launching in November. Let me know what you think.

137w ago - Ubisoft Associate Producer Julien Quety has announced that Ghost Recon Predator is out today for the PlayStation Portable handheld.

To quote: We'd like to introduce you to Ghost Recon Predator for PSP, where you'll lead your elite squad deep behind enemy in the jungles of Sri Lanka.

In the game, the Ghosts encounter the enemy on his own ground; he knows the terrain better, has more allies, and knows where to hide and where to attack. Surprise is on his side - he can be anywhere and he can be anyone.

In a crowded street, you'll first have to make the distinction between friend and foe, and the only way to fulfil your mission is with the help of your technology and training.





With Ghost Recon Predator we wanted you to experience the Ghost Fantasy at its best on a handheld console. It is possible to unlock new weapons and customizations for your high-tech gadgets and your characters throughout the adventure. The soldiers in your team are highly trained and you can swap between different characters during the game.

The one thing that we are really excited about is the multiplayer co-op for up to three players. We hope you enjoy it!
