TGS 2008: F.W 5.00 brings PS Store to PSP
The PSP is finally getting its own proper version of the PlayStation Store. No more of the PC PlayStation Store, PSP Store is just like the PlayStation Store on th PlayStation 3… but on your PSP. The latest firmware update, 5.00, will add the new store to the PSP XMB. The new PS Store will presumably feature trailers and add-ons and stuff like the current store, however it will also get a steady flow of downloadable PSP games, which include the following:
- Yuusha no Kuze ni Namaikida or2 (16th October 2008)
- Bleach Soul Carnival (23rd October 2008)
- Secret Agent Clank (20th November)
- Patapon 2 (27th November 2008)
- LocoRoco 2 (4th December 2008)
- Resistance Retribution (TBA)

Japan will be getting the update on October 15th, as usual there is no US date and certainly no European date!

UK Game Releases 9/11/07
Game releases this week for Playstation 3 are:
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam
Lego Star Wars: The Compete Saga
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (We have it - review coming shortly)
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 (Also on PSP)
Reccomendations:
- Call of Duty 4 looks excellent. They have finally left the WW2 scene and it looks to be a bit like Battlefield 2, that we love, which could mean good things.
- We played the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam demo and… lets say Parappa the Rappa has more attacks. Rent if you’re REALLY into Gundam.
- Lego Star Wars is the first two epsiodes put into one. Episode II was really popular on PSP and its a shame they’re not making it this time, but if you’re into starwars and like lego (who doesnt?) this is the game for you.
- I’ve been playing Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction for only 2 1/2 hours and I love it. It’s classic R&C, so if you ever liked an R&C then buy this!
- WWE isn’t my favorite, but they’re good for a laugh. Reviews are yet to come from this game but basic impressions from videos etc tells me that you’ll be getting the same ever popular wrestling experience as in previous WWE/WWFs.
Play Magazine Silent Hill: Origins Review

Play Magazine are one of the first places anywhere to get a chance to review Silent Hill: Origins, and they have given it a score of 8.5/10. Not a bad score considering it’s not being made by the original team or even at Konami.

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII: Yuffie Confirmed
From the latest Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Scans, it appears that Yuffie will appear in the game. Since you don’t know her in Final Fantasy VII when the game begins, Im not sure how they will tie it into the storyline… but whatever. ;P
