A PSP version of the highly anticipated PC game Spore was confirmed way back in 2006. Now, years later, the company is silent. Although we have seen Spore on the Nintendo DS, that version is actually completely different than its PC origin. Really, the fact that the game has yet to make its way to the PSP is quite logical, seeing as even some beefed up PC systems had problems playing the game smoothly; so we can hardly be able to expect the Playstation Portable to handle it. Nevertheless, a promise is a promise, and until a Spore PSP version is officially denied, we can keep hoping. In the mean, we’ll offer a look at the PC game that is causing all the hype.

As you play Spore on the PC, you assume the role of as a microbe, and go through five stages ranging from microbiotic to the intergalactic. You have just two choices – you kill or not. As a microbe with teeth, you have a choice of killing of just being a vegetarian. As you go through the process of evolution, you evolve to dry land from the primordial soup. Here again, you have a choice between killing or befriending things by singing little songs to them.

As a society is formed with important decisions such as the kind of buildings to have in the first village, your choice is to kill or feed tangles of mouths and legs with plates of oranges. As you move on to a civilized location, your choice is between building machines that kill or maraca factories.

Surprisingly, the non violent aspect of this game is extremely interesting, in fact, even more interesting than killing a creature by just clicking on it. As the lizard plays dead for your amusement, copy a bipedal lizard with many fangs to show that you are not different. Make a bag of eyes your bitch by dancing for it.

There are five addictive and simple sub-games offering players with a stream of new and exciting stuff. Excitement is offered not by swords but with body parts. For instance, you can inspect a skeleton on the beach to evolve a new beak. You can electrify your body by eating a blue, feral kangaroo. Each time you befriend or kill, you earn a DNA point which you can use for mutation.

Mutation process again offers fun and excitement. Have hours of fun designing the most awesome demented creatures and try to animate them with the game. Make it dance, eat, fight and walk, even mate. Creating species is fun and extremely addictive. In fact the Spore PC/Mac version starts with one of your germ species crashes into a cracked open meteor in the sea. You have to flee from spiky, nasty and big things in the water. However, as you eat a lot, your creature swells enough to make your huge hunter a small prey.

Nostalgia is in the air, with Tekken 2 available on the Playstation Network for the Playstation portable. On the PSOne, this was one of the best fighting games ever made, and the one that made the Tekken Series what it is today. Available for download on the PSN, this game is not quite what was expected on the handheld.

The big question here is, how can a game like Tekken 2 be so disappointing on the handheld line? I mean, it was after all one of the greatest games available in its time. Well the answer is simple. In the PSP port of the game, you will get a chance to play out the game fully, but will not get a chance to test your skills against your friends. That is right. No multiplayer functionalities. Playing Arcade and survival against the PC can only be so entertaining. After a while it gets boring and repetitive, and there is no option to get rid of that flaw. Considering there is already a sequel available for the PSP, with multiplayer, this game might not click. Most gamers are aware of the response issues with Tekken: Dark Resurrection’s D-Pad, and the problem is only worse in Tekken 2. Options are customizable, but a little sluggish and quite annoying at times.

There are additions to the game however. Some new characters have been added since eleven years ago, and sound tracks are more organized. Character balancing is also much better in the new version. Emulating the game on the Playstation Portable is almost flawless, and the graphics are still good standard for the PSP.

Tekken 2 is and always will be the most entertaining 3d fighter on the PSOne, or anywhere for that matter. There are many problems with the PSP port, and they are not small enough to be ignored. These could have been worked on to make an amazing port, but that just did not happen. But whatever anyone says, it is Tekken 2 we are taking about, and all those nostalgic tekken fans are going to want this one. If you are not that into the old Tekken and just want a good multiplayer fighter, Dark Resurrection is probably a better choice.

Since the beginning of portable gaming, countless handheld gaming consoles have been introduced to the market. Currently, the most popular ones are obviously the Nintendo DS, DS Lite and the Sony Play Station Portable, popularly known as PSP. But now Apple is also putting emphasis on its products as a gaming platform and is looking to grab a chunk of the mobile gaming market for itself.

Apart form the PSP there are two other mobile devices named Apple iPhone and Apple iPod which offers spectacular gaming experience. It’s hard to compare them with each other. Often it leaves the new gamers confused when they move out to purchase a portable gaming console for themselves. So, what to do? How to choose the best one? Well, it all depends on the individual’s needs ad preferences. Both the PSP’s and Apple iPhone’s displays render high quality video and graphics and these devices are compatible with Wi-Fi connections. You can choose any one of them to listen to good quality music and store lots of multimedia data. The only differentiating features are the other functions which these two devices can perform, the controls, the cost and the game database.

Coming to the functionality of these two products one thing is clear that if you want to make and receive calls apart from gaming then the iPhone is for you. Control wise the PSP is better as it is especially designed for gaming purpose and offers a D-pad and standard four buttons. You can also add a conventional joystick to PSP but this option is not available for iPhone. If you want to play touch screen games both in landscape and portrait mode then go for iPhone. Both the iPhone’s and PSP games are of equivalent cost but overall the iPhone is very costly device. Further, your monthly bill is increased because of the call plan you receive with the iPhone but in case of PSP you end up playing high quality games at a much low cost. The games available for the iPhone are less as of now and the PSP has got large database containing lots of game titles of every genre.
