They’ve already dropped some themes, as you can see from the pictures here. You’ll just have to hop on over to the PlayStation Store to see what else they’ve got cooking on the fire. You’ll probably encounter lots of other people who are just as excited as we are for the launch of LocoRoco 2. Fingers crossed for mid-February shelf date, but who knows? We’ll try to stay satisfied with the freebies for now.

If you’re in the habit of always passing out with your PSP in your lap, then maybe you should consider trying out Lockdown Pack 1 from developer Torch. This useful little homebrew application allows you to put a password on your PSP to ensure that no sneaky villains take advantage of your hapless, unaware condition.

There’s three different versions of Lockdown in the package. The first program lets you password-protect the PSP via the recovery menu. The second version, Lockdown XMB style, is only useable on the PSP slim, and uses the XMB Wave as the background. The third version lets you drop password protection into a game while you’re in the middle of playing it. All three versions have been tested on 5.00 M33-6.

This is a very handy program to use in case you’re worried that mean aliens have been abducting your PSP in the wee hours of the night and playing all of your favorite homebrew without your permission. This will also ensure that grim-faced CIA agents don’t come crashing through your plate-glass windows and looking at your top-secret PSP files. Grab the download package right here and investigate this program for yourself.

Folks, some more depressing news from the unfurling fiscal nightmare: Despite Circuit City’s announcement that they’re going straight to heck, Circuit City and Target, two of its major big-box competitors have announced planned layoffs for hundreds of more employees.

Best Buy offered voluntary severance packages to employees just last December, and although as many as people as 500 took the bait, Best Buy still wants to get rid of more employees fromo their Minneapolis home base. Target plans to close a distribution center, letting go of up to 500 workers, and they’ll be cutting back about 600 jobs at their corporate HQ.

It’s unlikely that either store will go completely under as Circuit City just did, but times are definitely scary, even for these major players. If these two buy the farm too, where are we gonna get all of our awesome PSP games and accessories? Are we going to have to begin manufacturing them ourselves in our own basements? I guess someone’s going to have come up with a PlayStation that’s built entirely from balsa wood, bubble gum, and penny nails.

A new study involving a survey of ten year old children suggests that games such as Brain Training and Brain Academy don’t actually improve your intelligence. Alan Lieury, a professor at the University of Rennes in France, said that: “The Nintendo DS is a technological jewel. As a game it’s fine, but it is charlatanism to claim that it is a scientific test.” Charlatanism, folks.

During the experiment, the kids were asked to perform a few cognitive functions like completing logic tests and memorizing lists of words. The researchers compared the results of children who practiced using games on the Nintendo DS versus those are practiced with standard pencil and paper exercises. In the memory exercise, the kids using the Nintendo DS were as high as 17 percent more effective overall after utilizing the DS applications.

As to why the experiments elected to use kids instead of adults, professor Lieury states that “that’s the age where you have the best chance of improvement. If it doesn’t work on children, it won’t work on adults.”

We’re not convinced. Everyone knows that playing video games turns your brain into an enormous, throbbing vessel of infinite knowledge.

Vmp3 v1, a slick home-cooked mp3 player for your PSP, is here courtesy of its developer, mrafenne. The straightforward mp3 utility has 26 different visualizations built in to feed your unfathomably short attention span. Mrafenne has also authored CalcuMp3, which is a calculator that plays music while you compute stuff.

Vmp3 v1 offers basic playback functionality, like play, pause, and skip track, and it displays the name of the song that’s currently playing. Users can switch the visualization during the song. This should be a pretty interesting program to zone out to in the comfort of your bedroom with the black light on. And, again, there’s always room for another music player on your PSP. Thanks to mrafenne for her contribution to the scene. Grab the download package here, and stay plugged in for more updates as soon as they drop.

Soon after the release of Game Categories Revised, Bubbletune put out a few bug fix packages to address some little quirks that new users discovered in the software. Game Categories Revised v3 addresses the problem of a mysteriously memory stick icon that pops up on the screen at inappropriate times.

The V3 bugfix follows a quick fix that came out just this morning, titled v2. V3 is now the most current version, but users expect that some problems are still resident in the code. Here’s the changelog that was written for the second version:

• Fixed bug of PSX games not launching when they’re categorized.
• Fixed some odd bug which made categories show up twice, and some other weird stuff. (I had already fixed this in a late build of v1, but most news sites published the initial build, which still had this bug)
• It will no longer show the ‘Uncategorized’ icon if you don’t have any uncategorized games (in multi-ms mode).

Thanks to Bubbletune for bringing out the fixes so quickly. Grab the latest version right here and get started being more organized.

Underground journeyman dragula96 just dropped a gnarly morsel of homebrew entitled Magic: The Life Counter, a nifty little utility that players of Magic: The Gathering will certainly appreciate.

The application keeps track of life counters for up to four players. It also manages to underclock the PSP to 100 MHz in an effort to maximize battery life.

When finally cornered and examined under the glare of a dismal, yellow lightbulb, Dragula96 revealed that background cycling and player text input are planned for the next release. You know, so you can actually enter your own names, instead of using the default Player 1, Player 2, and so forth. This is the first release of the application, so stay in touch with the developer to let him know your hopes, dreams, and visions of an apocalyptic, cyborg-infested nightmare future. Stay tuned for more updates as they drop. Thanks to Dragula96 for taking the time to make our all of our lives a tiny bit more awesome.

Okay, all y’all deranged, destitute, beer-swilling, poop-faced alcoholics out there: There’s a curious piece of homebrew that just dropped called Alcohol Engine, and its purpose is to approximate your blood alcohol content. Essentially, it just uses the chart that you’ll find on Wikipedia to measure BAC (blood alcohol content), but it’s rendered in a tidy, Sony-friendly way and smeared onto your PSP. Just take a second to ogle the video clip for a demonstration.

The author, Dark World, offers these release notes:

The program has three categories:

• Beer
• Wine
• Spirits

The beer and wine category will amount to drink, and for spirits, there will be a whole bottle.

Controls:

• Select the category and confirm with X;
• Choose the amount you want to drink and confirm with X;
• Press Square or Circle depending on your sex;
• Use L or R to increase or decrease your weight

So, the next time you drink a piss-warm gallon of malt liquor, make sure you turn on your PSP to calculate just how inebriated you really are, before you step out your door to confront the harrowing miasma of obligations, relationships, and responsibilities that comprise your so-called meaningful existence. Cheers!
