ESRB rates Ghostbusters game for PSP

9f3d1_ghostbusterswiicp580psp ESRB rates Ghostbusters game for PSP

Looks like the Ghostbusters are heading to PSP, if this ESRB listing is to be believed. According to the ratings bureau, the PSP will receive its own version of Ghostbusters, based on the PS2 and Wii versions of the game. The game has been announced for pretty much every platform including the DS and iPhone, so it’s unsurprising that Atari would want to make a quick buck by releasing a PSP port as well.

[Thanks, David B.!]

GameStop has revealed box art for the upcoming PSP-exclusive Rock Band Unplugged. The Frequency-in-disguise game will feature “over 40 original master recordings” in a World Tour mode that spans over 24 cities and venues. The box confirms support for DLC through an in-game music store and also reveals there will be no multiplayer options, Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.

Many of the songs listed on the box can be found in the console versions of Rock Band, but there are a few notable new tracks. Will these tracks be exclusive to the PSP version, or is this a hint at future Rock Band content?

Mytran Wars intro takes a page from C&C

Filed under: PSP News 

Deep Silver’s long-delayed turn-based strategy effort for PSP is finally coming … we think. The company released the intro to the upcoming game, and the live action sequence reminds us a lot of the classic Command & Conquer cinematics. This three minute clip emphasizes the importance of resources in the game and sets up the conflict with — you guessed it — giant robots.

At $99, the PS2 has become a pretty attractive gift-giving option for your mom, your girlfriend, and the tons of people that haven’t been able to afford a gaming console until now. The following gift guides will give your friends (and enemies) everything they’ll need for under $200.

Madden NFL 10 tackles retail on August 14th

55b1d_madden032409 Madden NFL 10 tackles retail on August 14th

It’s another year, it’s another Madden. The best only NFL game in town will make its return this year on August 14th, promising “all-new animation technology.” The Madden line follows EA’s newfound love for Nintendo, as the Wii version gets special attention this year with a “unique, genre-defining art style” that “epitomizes what fun looks like on the Wii.” Cel-shaded Madden, perhaps?

We don’t know much more about this year’s iteration of the Madden series, except for details garnered from the game’s only screenshot. The infamous cover athlete is also currently unknown and will be revealed later this year on April 24th.

Madden NFL10 will be available on Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP and Wii. Update: Big Download has confirmed that no PC version is in the works. “We have no plans to release Madden NFL 10 on the PC this year.”

Analysts: PS2 sales to increase 30% after price drop, others question effect on software

49634_newps2withcontollerside-490px Analysts: PS2 sales to increase 30% after price drop, others question effect on software

Analyst Jesse Divnich of EEDAR believes that the PS2 price drop to a Franklin will boost US sales of the console by 30 percent. Divnich’s report also estimates that PS2 software will maintain an 18 percent market share, rather than drop down to 16 percent had there not been a cut.

Gamasutra also spoke with analyst Matt Matthews, who points out that any consumer waiting for the PS2 to reach $100 is “cost-conscious” enough to buy games from the used bin at GameStop, meaning those consumers aren’t likely to help new software sales. Apparently, Sony’s Jack Tretton agreed with this notion last summer in an Edge interview, when he asked, “If that $30 was the difference between buying a console and not buying a console, how many games are you going to sell to that person?”

At the time, he questioned how strategically important that consumer really is. Apparently, nine months and a fiscal crisis at the company is enough to change some minds.
