PSP Cheats & hacks – Sony PSP Games, Themes, Wallpapers, Cheat Downloads

Sony just put up some numbers that reflect the cost-cutting activity happening at the corporate mega-level, high above the heads of the PlayStation Group.

The report states that, compared to last year, the games division is down 32% in revenue. Sales of hardware fell for each of their primary platforms. PS3 dropped 440,000 units. The PSP lost 680,000 units by selling just over 5 million. Even the PS2 took a big hit, selling just 2.52 million units.

We can expect that Sony would be in a little bit of a slump, given the current fiscal climate, but it’s likely that their pricing schedules have started to turn off consumers. Hopefully, Sony can take the hint that their fans would appreciate a slashing of prices.

Fans of the Harvest Moon series, be delighted: Here’s a few new videos from the forthcoming Harvest Moon: Sugar Village And Everyone’s Wish. Its developer, Marvelous Entertainment, released these so that you can have something to digest while they go about making last-minute tinkers. There’s an official trailer here, and a TV commercial, too.

The game, which is slated for a March 19th release in Japan, is originally titled Mokujou Monogatari: Sugar Mura to Minna no Negai. Tons of fun. If you didn’t know, the game’s basically about farming. If you’re into agrarian science, you’ll definitely want to read more about this title. Like, crops and stuff. Fields. More news here as it drops.

Class Of Heroes, a new commercially released game for the PSP from developer Atlus, is slated to hit stores on April 7th. This is a nifty, feature-rich RPG that offers a possible 500 character combinations. You’ll choose from 10 races, 15 majors, and 3 alignments to give your character some serious customization. The developer promises a minimum 80 hours of gameplay, involving exploring dungeons, finding 1,300 item types, and marching around the vast universe comprising 75 maps. Monsters, puzzles, weapons, traps: All of the classic RPG stuff will be in here.

Class Of Heroes will cost $39.99, so put a few bills aside and stay all righteously pumped up for its release. You’ll want to really give your swordsmanship a once-over to make sure you can handle the roleplaying badness. Class Of Heroes promises to be a portable dream-come-true for the discerning geek. In the meantime, check out this debut trailer which recently dropped to get a taste of some of what the game will offer.

There’s a bunch of new visuals available from the forthcoming release of Dynasty: Strikeforce. Koei, the game’s developer, has ensured that the adoring public has enough eye candy to keep themselves sweaty for the release date.

The screenshots here include gameplay views, renders of characters, and stills from the game’s cutscenes.

Word on the grapevine is that a special edition Strikeforce-customized PSP-3000 bundle will arrive in Japan around the same time as the game’s planned release date. This rumor is not in any way confirmed, but would be a really fun, nerdy, theme drop from the big boys upstairs.

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce from Koei is slated to release in Japan on February 26th. North America will receive the game on March 24th.

Mana Khemia: Student Alliance, a game forthcoming for the PSP, will definitely miss its January 2009 release date. NIS America, the game’s developer, issued a press release which affirms the delay and pushes back the release date to an unspecified time sometime this Spring. Rumors had circulated about a week regarding this delay.

NIS America claims that they game needs a few improvements in order to make sure that it’s in the best shape possible prior to release. Work will continue on the project until at least February. As we draw closer to Spring, we’ll have more information about this game right here.

For now, stay hopeful, have a snack, call your mother, and get between eight and ten hours of sleep each night.

In case you guys are really die-hard fans, which you definitely are, here’s a blip from the Tales Of The World: Radiant Mythology 2 fan culture. It’s the latest Japanese TV spot for the game. It’s super-short, a real subconscious assault, but you’ll enjoy it anyway. You can check out a little in-game footage from the ad, and there’s some cut-scenes in there to tickle your attention spans.

Tales Of The World: Radiant Mythology 2 is scheduled to arrive at stores in Japan on January 29th. Its developers, Namco Bandai, haven’t confirmed whether a version of the game is going to head to the other global turfs, and fans stateside can only hope it’ll arrive on American soil. In the meantime, peep the ad, keep studying your Japanese, and, if worse comes to worse, you can just fly over there and play their version.

Maybe you can even grab a cool little studio apartment in Tokyo, too. Build a life for yourself. Cross-cultural immersion is the thing, fellas. It’ll not only enrich your quality of life, but you’ll also get to a play a ton of titles you’d otherwise end up missing.

Stay tuned for more news about Tales Of The World: Radiant Mythology 2 as it drops.

Word has spread quickly about the Infected mode that’s available in the Resistance: Retribution demo. We’ve got our hands on a video that shows a comparison between the Infected Mode and the Standard Mode via gameplay on the demo. Get a taste of the differences here, in fantastic, Internet-quality by watching this mind-boggling “motion picture” demonstration.

Again, the Resistance: Retribution demo is available for download upon pre-order of the full game. Check our earlier post on the topic to access two different pre-order links and start rocking out to the demo. We’re eagerly awaiting the full release that’s coming in mere weeks. So are you.

Beginning-of-year game sales in the Japan is an important figure for some industry statistics crunchers, so Media Create has dropped a list of video game bestsellers from the period of January 5th,  2009 to January 15th, 2009. Dissidia: Final Fantasy occupies the top spot, which doesn’t really surprise anybody.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy, from Square Enix, has occupied the number-one slot for game sales for three weeks in a row, ever since it launched at #1. Not much on the list is outright startling, except that one PS2 still holds a spot in the top-ten. The PS2 really knows how to hang in there, which, on second thought, isn’t really surprising, considering what a kick-butt system it was and still is. Here’s the official run-down from Media Create:

• Dissidia Final Fantasy – PSP – Square Enix
• Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP The Best) – PSP – Capcom
• Rhythm Tengoku Gold – DS – Nintendo
• Wii Fit – Wii – Nintendo
• Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode – DS – Nintendo
• White Knight Chronicles – PS3 – SCEJ
• Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III – PS3 – SCEJ
• Gundam Musou 2 – PS2 – Bandai
• Hoshi no Kirby: Ultra Super Deluxe – DS – Nintendo
• Mario Kart Wii – Wii – Nintendo

There it is, folks. Chances are you own at least a few of those titles yourself. Stay glued to your screens for more sales rankings, which we’ll post right here as the year unfolds.

Namco Bandai recently announced that a PSP game based on the forthcoming movie is set to arrive in North America around the same date as the release of the film. The film should open in theaters on April 9th.

In case you hadn’t heard: Yes, there’s a Dragonball movie being released worldwide under the title Dragonball: Evolution. We’re not sure on anything about the movie except that’s it’s sure to inspire strong feelings in fans of the series. On whether those feelings are akin to fuzzy, warm sensations, or more similar to the strange, rising gorge one experiences immediately prior to a violent riot, the jury’s still out.

Folks, we’re still excited to go see this movie. I mean, c’mon. The special effects should be good. At least the make-up. Okay, maybe some of the hair-do will be fun. Right guys? Awesome.
