The Warriors, which was offered on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox based on the 1979 cult classic film of Walter Hill proved well worth the effort. Not just a bland remake of the film, the game added in a lot of spice and back story to the situations and characters.

The same ‘Warriors’ has made its way to the PlayStation Portable. This beat em’ up game looks good on the handheld. Storyline and features have been retained from the original and thankfully; there is no extra content addition in a bid to cram in as much as possible.

The game is all about the trials and situations faced by one of the gangs going around in New York, the Warriors. The Warriors PSP version starts just as in the movie where the gang is on their way to meet the enigmatic leader of Gramercy Riffs Cyrus. A grand plan for a unified gang movement is laid down by Cyrus. Just as it looks like he is going to convince everyone, he is shot by a gunman and the crowd scatters with the police on their heels. After this point, the game shifts basically away from the movie.

The well written storyline and script with blunt and curse filled dialogs are quite effective adding to the atmosphere. Most of the game is the beat ‘em up type and as a player you will be indulging in a lot of brawling. Fights are similar with a lot of ground attacks and jumping. Fighting engine is simple but environments are unpredictable adding to the fun and excitement. You will find a host of fighters appearing on the screen all of a sudden making the game very fast paced and hectic.

Instead of just sending groups of bad guys at you to keep fighting, Warriors makes it more interesting by giving players plenty of interesting tasks to break the action. Another interesting feature in this game is the checkpoint save system which is good and eliminates the need to replay long sequences. Level designs are attractive and exciting and sequences are well set offering hours of fun and thrill on your favourite PSP.

The Latest installment in the Midnight Club series by Rockstar games is Midnight Club: LA Remix. Scheduled for release on 21st October, today, LA Remix is the Playstation Portable version of Midnight Club: LA for the PS3 and Xbox 360. This version has been named appropriately, as the LA Remix is extremely similar to its high-end console counterparts in terms of gameplay. It will, however, feature a few minor tweaks, adjusted for a handheld console, and even a little exclusive content, which the other versions won’t see.

The game’s development process has been quite secretive, and not much has been released to the general public about it, what with the impending release. Though from what has been seen, it’s evident that the visuals are quite awesome for a handheld title, and the frame rate doesn’t even flicker out of what it’s supposed to be. Another big, BIG improvement is that the load times from its predecessor, Midnight Club 3, are considerably reduced. It isn’t exactly on the scale of milliseconds, but it’s acceptable.

LA City is quite large. It is certainly smaller than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, but it IS large nonetheless. Considering it’s on a PSP, it has really awesome draw distances and visuals. The Midnight Club - Los Angeles Remix PSP version isn’t confined to LA City either. There’s also the opportunity to take on some of the fastest rides in Tokyo City as well. The Car and Bike lineup should be the same as the bigger versions, and it would only seem logical to make the Tokyo trip optional, but I don’t think anyone would miss it… not just for the new tracks and city, but also for a lineup of Tokyo- exclusive Tuner cars.

The game progression still revolves around rep points, achieved through successfully completing races. If things get too difficult later in the game, don’t worry. You can still unlock almost everything, by re-doing completed races, and earning more rep.

You can also race opponents to the starting line of a race to earn more rep. Customisation wasn’t sidetracked either, as there are hundreds of ways to max out your ride, in terms of performance and looks.

All this was just gathered from the Previews. The full version is set to roll out and now you can experience Midnight Club: LA on your own mini screen.

There’s hardly a single console gamer who remains untouched by the massively successful Test Drive Unlimited series. Atari, in collaboration with Eden Studios, launched the game a few years back on the Xbox 360. Now, PSP owners are the fortunate ones, as the game makes its way to the handheld console.

Test Drive Unlimited has already been applauded for its driving fun despite the lousy loading and clunky interfaces. The title allows you to whisk to Hawaii, own a car, a house and become an unstoppable force in street racing. Test Drive Unlimited (PSP) actually breaches the standard perception of race oriented titles with no story or background behind the racing. In the story, as you go for a test drive, you unknowingly get entangled in a series of tasks. It then becomes apparent that there’s quite a lot to do on the island. While going about your tasks you are allowed to completely explore the island of Oahu, and this adds some variation to the standard race, time trial and speed challenge affair.

The game is truly open-ended and the task of exploring Oahu is very cleverly designed. You’ll begin with a handful of mission icons but as you progress you’ll notice more tasks popping up across the entire stretch of the island. To directly jump into the task you merely have to click on the icon visible on the map. But if it appears on a road on which you have never driven, then you ought to drive to the destination. Accomplishing the tasks turns you into a Test Drive Unlimited fan as you are continuously engaged in races and missions. Moreover, if you tire of driving, then you still won’t be hurting for things to do. Your mini map will keep you updated on the closest available race, and at the end you are authorized to decide which races to take part in. But if you won’t feel like driving more then you won’t necessarily be hurting for things to do right. In short, there is always something to do in this exciting an energizing racing title.

Brett Favre was a well-known quarter-back having done his team Greenbay packers pretty proud having won countless accolades and honors, including the super wins at the Super Bowl Championship, nine pro-bowls and a few Super Bowl stints. The Associated press also christened him as an MVP for a whopping three years and was even featured in the Sports Illustrated as the ‘Sportsman of the Year”

According to Gamespot.com “ Favre also holds a series of NFL records: most consecutive starts by an NFL quarterback (253), most career passing touchdowns (442), most career passing yards (61,655), most career pass attempts (8,758), and most career games with at least three touchdowns (63). As many citizens of his adopted home state of Wisconsin painfully know, he also has the dubious distinction of having thrown the most interceptions in NFL history–a whopping 288”

He retired last month but the string of honors he is bound to get won’t stop, we think. Recently, Electronic Arts confirmed rumors that Favre will be featured as the cover athlete on Madden NFL 09 for about the 20th time on this hugely popular franchise. He is bound to appear on the DS, Wii, Xbox 360, all versions of the Sony Playstations, including the Portable versions (PSP) of the game. The game won’t be made available to the PC gamers as was announced recently.

It is quite an honor for an athlete, to have an entire series of installments on a single game franchise and Madden is bound to see some good results following the release.
