Just when you think some people can’t get any more pathetic, news like this pops up. 50-year old Terry Taulbee from East Price Hill, Cincinnati, is charged with beating his six-year-old son, all because the kid didn’t play a video game well. Sheesh.

Taulbee is now being held at the Hamilton County jail, facing a domestic violence charge for hitting the kid on his lower back and buttocks, which left a large red hand mark, according to court records. The area was swollen, causing pain for the poor six-year-old. The victim’s mother told police that Taulbee became upset when the boy didn’t play well in a video game.

Other details regarding the incident still remain unknown, including what video game was being played, and why it mattered so much to Taulbee that it be played well. We’ll keep you posted once we get updates.

Q-Games has been pretty tight-lipped about their PixelJunk Monsters project for the PSP. We know that it’s slated for a release this year, but when exactly will that be? If a product listing on Play-Asia is to be believed, it could be arriving this June already.

While the PS3 (PSN) version is playable on the PSP via Remote Play, what makes the PSP version worth getting is the fact that it’s got 50% more content than the PSN version. Pretty good deal, if you ask me. I just wish Q-Games would give us more updates on it (as well as their hopes of getting PixelJunk Eden on PSP too!).

Cross your fingers, tower defenders! We’re bound to hear something official soon enough.

Let’s do a quick review. Who are the mutants gracing Activision’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine game? So far, there are 10 that have been confirmed already. Would you care to check out the list?

1. Agent Zero (real name: David North)
2. Blob (real name: Frederick J. Dukes)
3. Deadpool (real name: Wade Wilson)
4. Gambit (real name: Remy LeBeau)
5. John Wraith (aka: Kestrel)
6. Sabretooth (real name: Victor Creed)
7. Sentinels
8. Wendigo (aka: W.E.N.D.I.G.O. Prototype)
9. William Stryker
10. Wolverine (real name: Logan)

We’re thinking there could be more coming our way, since there are several more folks showing up in the movie. As you know, the game’s release is tied up with the movie’s debut, and the story is also in fact loosely following the big screen adaption.

• Banshee (cameo)
• Bolt (real name: Chris Bradley)
• Cyclops (cameo)
• Emma Frost
• Jason Stryker (cameo)
• Silver Fox (real name: Kayla)
• Weapon XI

We’ll be sure to update you as soon as we receive any more new info on this. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is slated to come out on May 1st, alongside the movie, for the Xbox 360, PS3, PC (Uncaged Edition for the consoles) and Wii, PSP, DS, and PS2.

In case you just can’t get enough of that distinctive two-girl Russian pop duo, Tatu, you now have the opportunity to install a themed tribute to the breakout sensation right on your PlayStation Portable. Of course, if you need your memory jogged a tad, we’ll remind you that Tatu are two Russian lesbians hailing from the city of Moscow, Russia, whose musical careers kicked off back in ’99.

The name Tatu comes from a shortening of the sentence “Eta devushka lyubit tu devushku,” which means “This girl loves that girl.” That’s a pretty apt summary of the band, whose two members were specially selected from a large group of contenders in a band-building effort by two prominent Russian producers. Similar to boy bands such as Backstreet Boys or N’Sync, Tatu is a musical project engineered from the top down to be a popular money-making machine. However, the girls of Tatu leveraged the authenticity of the band with their own vivacious spirit and considerable musical talents. No longer a simple in-and-out money-making collaboration, the duo tours successfully around the world and is received with acclaim by critics and partiers alike.  So, hopefully your interest is piqued; now, all you have to is follow the simple instructions below to install this theme on your PSP:

• Place theme.p3t file in X:/PSP/THEME/ folder and select theme from XMB->Settings->Themes
• X is your psp USB or PSP media card
• Or Download Only theme file directly from your PSP internet browser.

From Software announced their plans to port the popular PlayStation 2 game, Armored 3, to the PlayStation Portable, signaling to devotees of the series a possible renewal in earnest of production interest in the game. An article in Famitsu suggests that the port will include some new gameplay sections and a few minor tweaks to the system, but most enthusiasts speculate that the real significance of the game is to hold the place of the series until a full-fledged new release emerges.

Armored Core 3 was arguably the best game in the series and the port is certainly appreciated, but real devotees of the plotline anxiously await a genuinely new installment. It’s curious to note that the developers chose to port Armored Core 3 instead of Armored Core 4, though the executive decision could be indicative of the direction in which the series is now headed.

The worst case scenario, though, is that the new port is just a delay tactic, pushing off an inevitable dissolution of its parent company in the tumultuous economy. However, most of their games are still selling steadily, so we can only hope that we’re not to intuit anything foreboding from the release of Armored Core 3 for the PlayStation Portable.

The unstoppable underworld code chirurgeon, Light_AleX, has just released an update to his helpful homebrew application, PSN License Manager. Light_AleX has made a few tweaks to the code overall for PSN License Manager 0.20, which you can read about in the changelog here:

• Multiple PSP support using slots. Up to 30 slots is supported!
• Uses directories (slots) so the main directory is clean.
• Power checks have been put in place so PSPs don’t accidentally shut down while using the program.

This is a powerful little utility that allows users to safely manage their PSN license. Here’s the functionality list so far:

• Backup your PSN license.
• Restore your PSN license.
• Delete the backup license on the memory stick.
• Toggle USB Mass Storage.
• Up to 30 PSP support.

Also, Light_AleX has ensured that each license may only be used on one unique PSP, in order that this applications is not in any way a facilitator of piracy or any other related naughty behaviors. The code’s been tested on 5.00M33-6 and should work smoothly, but due to a few issues with flash resource loading, the developer encourages all users to consult the readme file prior to use. Grab the download package right here to check out this handy program for yourselves.

An excellent emulator of the powerful TI-92 graphing calculator named XTiger was a Unix-based, X-Window run project developed by one cerebral coder named Jonas Minnberg. The original application was closed source, but since the project has been laying fallow for some time, the developer allowed Misha Nasledov to open the code and create a GPL version of the program. PSP-XTI the resulting port to the PlayStation Portable of this formidable emulator that’s geared towards advanced mathematics. It appears that PSP-XTI v1.3.0 is a direct adaptation of the Unix version 0.8. A few new things have been added this time around, though, which you can see in the changelog below:

• New background images
• Add Load & Save states
• Text editor to write your own comments

(or to read math courses  )

• Finally fix issue with “Home -> Exit” & Sleep mode
• Add a new settings menu

Since the program is distributed under GNU license, the source code is included with the archive package. The port was developed on Linux and intended for Firmware 1.5 and 5.0-M33. It’s been tested with a standard PSP Fat hooked up to a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard. For usage instructions, you’ll want to peruse the included readme text; this is a pretty complicated piece of machinery, so unless you have some working familiarity with the TI line of graphing calculators, it’s well advised to educate yourself on the basics before trying to solve the mysteries of the Universe.

A company called Zener Works, based out of Japan, recently announced a new visual novel game that’ll have fans of the genre leaping out their chairs. This weekend, a video preview of the game arrived. The game will involve players being tested in complex situations which they’ll have to overcome in order to progress and advance the plot. Check out the video here, and notice also the interesting way that the frames push together – an indication of how far close towards success a player is moving in a given scenario.

Diamond And The Sound Of A Gunshot is slated to arrive on June 18th; for now, we’ve got the preview to check out, and perhaps a bit of the back story to catch up on. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more about this exciting title. Note that a bit of skill with Japanese won’t hurt a bit in enjoying this game; in fact, we’re not too sure about the schedule of an English-language release.

NPD recently published its routine report of United States video game sales and, unfortunately, it seems that the PlayStation Portable is buried by its major competing consoles. We’re looking at Resident Evil 5 firmly set at number one, followed by Pokemon Platinum for the DS about 130,000 units behind. The PSP does not appear in the top ten at all. Have a gander for yourselves:

• Resident Evil 5 (Capcom, Xbox 360) – 938,00
• Pokemon Platinum (Nintendo, DS) – 805,000
• Halo War (Microsoft, Xbox 360) – 639,000
• Resident Evil 5 (Capcom, PS3) – 585,000
• Wii Fit (Nintendo, Wii) – 541,000
• MLB ‘09: The Show (Sony, PS3) – 305,000
• Killzone 2 (Sony, PS3) – 296,000
• Wii Play (Nintendo, Wii) – 281,000
• Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo, Wii) – 278,000
• Major League Baseball 2K9 (Take 2, Xbox 360) – 205,000

It’s likely we won’t see a major PSP contender on the chart until the release of the next wave of games which Sony has promised for this year. Let’s keep our fingers crossed; in the meantime, the PSP still has the best underground homebrew scene, so you can walk mightily still, and with purpose. And with gusto. And resolve. Walk forth.
