The makers of the PSP, Sony have announced that PSP piracy is on decline from the last few months. The company says that more and more people are opting for original PSP content. This may be because of the reduction in the price of the original UMDs or because of the fact that the PSP 3000 is comparatively harder to hack. However Sony has not specified any reason for this decline

The company’s officials are tracing the online forums and they concluded that there is a virtual war going on between the original game developers of officially licenced games, like Steel Horizon, and the homebrew content makers. According to the company the consumers too are supporting the original content developers, which is a nice thing but as usual the other side remains stubborn and in justifies the pirated content.

Sony’s marketing guy John Koller said, “We’ve made really no secret. Certainly has been some piracy on the PSP. We’ve seen that as a significant issue - it’s trending down right now, we’ve seen the piracy not be as such prevalent in the last month to two months. We’ve noticed there’s kind of a ‘good v/s evil’ battle that we track on many of the forums and many of the pirated websites. There are certainly people that are standing up and fighting for what we consider the good side, the rights of developers and publishers to make money on their IP. And then there’s certainly the other side that believes that they can take as warranted. It’s kind of been nice to see other consumers going and help and fight the battle for us.”

But will this actually eliminate piracy? Many gamers feel ‘NO’. The recent example regarding this is the Datel releasing a new device that allows the users to alter the PSP 3000 firmware and play homebrew games on it.

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.

Impossible mission… when one thinks about those words, the first thing that comes to mind is the awesome classics back on the arcade machines. That this arcade classic has made its way to our beloved handheld doesn’t come as much of a surprise, considering all the classic ports we have seen on the PSP lately.

Impossible Mission was originally made in 1984 for the Commodore 64, and included some good gameplay for that time. You would see your character moving through rooms, avoiding multitudes of strange robots, exploring cupboards and the like. The Impossible Mission PSP version isn’t unlike the original. It even has the blocky graphics and the weirdly cool sound effects to complement the game’s classic sense, giving you the ’80s feel when you play it.

Improvements in the port include two new game modes apart from the classic mode. The ‘new’ mode has a significant uplift in Visuals and sound, while the ‘merged’ mode has a funny mixed of the two, mixing various parts of the old and new versions.

The original was most well known for its sounds, considering it was one of the first titles to implement digitized speech. The new version has improved on this a bit. The backgrounds also seem more detailed in the PSP, but since the game takes you through rooms that are randomly generated, you can’t expect the detail to be perfect.

Gameplay-wise, the old and new versions are almost the same, the only difference being that while you were given 6 hours to complete the original, you will have the pleasure of playing for an extra two to complete this version. Dying in the game however will bite a chunk out of the timer, and when time runs out, there are no other options except to start over. This could have been made optional to accommodate the more casual gamers, but I guess that wasn’t really on their minds.

A major drawback to the PSP version is that while other classics were offered as a collection, comprising of numerous titles for the price of one, impossible mission came alone, which could have been avoided by releasing a couple of others with it to reduce the overall cost, making it more affordable.
