Even before it officially started, the film adaptation for Castlevania will no longer push through. According to sources, the production of the film has been “sucked out dry” so the producers decided to cut it.

Supposedly, it was to be a Paul W.S. Anderson production (also the one responsible for the Resident Evil series) and a Sylvain White direction. But as the directorial job was passed on to someone so does the production started it way to hell.

The film adaptation for Castlevania was first announced in 2007 and has gone through lots of ups and downs, including being affected by the…

Daaa57150 is on to bigger things so he does not have time anymore to rebuild a new version of the DJ Drops. So if anyone else likes to pick up developing this homebrew, the final release can be found here including the source code.

This game is not yet finished so those who would want to develop it is in for some time.

Developer notes:

What’s inside the demo:

Everything I’ve ever made for Mega Drops (1 & 2) and the levels I was working on for DJ Drops:

  • Mega Drops: levels “Frozen”, “DJ Beat” and “Mechanical Groundwork”
  • Mega Drops 2: levels “Tetris”, “Project Sexy” (slightly…

Who ever said that the Playstation Portable is only for action-packed games like the Tekken series and EA sports? I for one have always been fond of playing those classic board games that have been turned into an instant sensation the moment they were “computerized.”

Broodjekaas92 has just released his first homebrew game for the PSP—the TicTacToe v0.4. Now you can pass the time without having to combat all those muscled characters in your screen. It’s like playing Snakes and Ladders in your living rooms, albeit more modern and convenient.

The v0.4 requires CFW 5.00 M33-6 so make sure you already have…

We have released and confirmed before that Shing and Yuri is included in the list of the new characters that would be included in the new Tales of VS version. But now we finally have the video of them bringing pain to the game with their Artes.

The beating and the kicking comes after some time, but at least we’ll get to see how Shing and Yuri would add up to the already existing characters in the current roster of Tales of VS. These two will surely add more color to the already exciting and action-packed game. Check the videos below.

Emerging steaming hot from the cauldron is a terrific little piece of homebrew called PSPLBreakout2, and, like its name wholeheartedly suggests, it’s a rendition of Breakout: That game with all the little bricks up top, the paddle on the bottom, and a ball bouncing back and forth in between. Its programmer, the undeniably talented Michael Speck, who masquerades in the tumultuous homebrew underworld as Gandji, has included a bunch of cool power-ups and dangerous power-downs to make the game a little more interesting. Now, most Breakout clones include prize drops, so it’s up to the brewer to make them uniquely…

Noby Noby Boy For PS3 Redefines The Notion Of A Game

Just because this forthcoming title is so fascinating, we’re throwing it up to your attention, despite its release being exclusively for the PS3. Its own creators can’t really put into words what the nature of the game is – Noby Noby Boy is sort of an abstract, participation-based persistent Universe whose purpose is to house its ever-growing protagonists, known as Boy and Girl. Perhaps its closest analog would be Katmari Damacy, which was created by the same developer, Keita Takahashi of Namco Bandai.

In Noby Noby Boy, players take control of a Lego-man like, stretchable character, who grows as it’s pulled…

Just popping up fresh in the game garden out back is GuitarStar v1.01, released into our gritty mitts from its developer, Festi. GuitarStar is fully compatible with Frets on Fire music, which makes it arguably the fan-favorite homebrewed Guitar Hero clone for the PlayStation Portable. Here’s the quickie changelog, just so you’re aware:

  • Fixed a critical bug when trying to play music that contained more than a musical instrument.

What we love especially about this piece of ‘brew is its smooth, colorful graphics, its straightforward gameplay, its quick learning curve, and, of course, its time-tested appeal to fans of arcade action and…
