While we knew a while back that you could pre-order Resistance: Retribution for PSP from Amazon, we now know that you can also pre-order from GameStop. It’s nice to have a choice. What’s cool is that pre-ordering will also enable you to utilize a voucher code that you’ll receive in order to download a Resistance: Retribution demo game. The official release for the full version of Resistance: Retribution is still listed as March 17th.

A neat thing about the new Resistance: Retribution demo is that it allows you test the Connect feature, which many fans have been looking forward to. Follow the instructions below to correctly set up the connect between the PSP and the PS3:

• Insert and load Resistance: Retribution on the PSP.
• Insert and load Resistance 2 on the PS3.
• Connect PSP to PS3 via USB Cable.
• From “Start” menu on the Resistance 2 menu, select “Options”.
• Scroll to “Connect PSP”.

We’ll leave you with some screenshots here, and you can follow the links below to access the pre-order from Amazon and GameStop.

Here it is from the rumor mill, folks: Word has it that Sony is overseeing a survey asking gamers’ opinions regarding future PSP hardware and potential software functionalities that may appear on future systems.

Someone apparently in the know sent word over that participants in the Sony-conducted survey had to rank some features that are currently not available on the PSP. Some purported stuff on the list: Built-in GPS, Bluetooth wireless, internal data storage, and…a touchscreen!

Here’s a more detailed list of possible PSP stuff that appears in the survey:

• Was smaller, yet retained most of the current PSP’s screen size
• Offered social networking functionality on the XMB
• Included a keyboard for easer internet browsing and communication
• Offered Bluetooth wireless support for easy pairing with other devices
• Had a touch screen
• Had an imprved screen for more dynamic graphic displays
• Offered the ability to find others near you who want to connect for online gaming
• Offered an e-comic/book download service through the PlayStation Network
• Included a hard drive for memory storage

For now, this is still, like we said, fodder from the rumor mill. Keep your eyes glued to this website, though, and we’ll keep you up-to-date with more concrete news as it drops.

Air Conflicts: Aces Of World War II has just gone gold, according to its developer, Graffiti Entertainment. This is industry slang that indicates that all functionality of the game has been tested and confirmed, and that all pre-release debugging is finished. The game is officially ready for manufacturing and release.

Air Conflicts: Aces Of World War II is a WWII flight sim, where you can choose to fly as the US Air Force, the RAF, the Luftwaffe, or even the Russian Red Army Air Force. 17 fighter planes are available for your gut-wrenching flying pleasure. Also, the game features an eight-player multiplayer mode.

Kenneth Hurley, CEO of Signature Devices, Inc., and Graffiti Entertainment, Inc., had this to say about the forthcoming release:

“The brilliant graphics and wireless multiplayer capabilities of Air Conflicts makes the PSP system a perfect platform for this game and we are very happy with the quality of the gameplay. The game includes some great American missions that we’ve added that should excite the most avid PSP Gamer.”

Air Conflicts: Aces Of World War II is scheduled for release on March 15th, 2009, for the PSP only.

For you ultra-geeky homebrew fans out there, check out PSPdisp v0.2, which just dropped on the 14th. This is an innovative homebrew application from JJS that allows you to use your PSP as an additional monitor for Windows.

Check out this explanation from its developers:

… on Windows, a display driver, an USB driver and the interface application which captures the screen, compresses it and sends it over USB to the PSP. On the PSP side there is an application that decompresses the frames and displays them. All settings are adjustable from the Windows side, the PSP really only acts as a passive display.

The teeming underground over at PSPHyper have peeped some fan chatter that indicates that a game based on the popular manga .hack//Link will soon arrive for the Sony PSP.

A listing appeared in this week’s Dengeki PlayStation Magazine, which shows the title in a release schedule categorizing the game as an ARPG. Preliminary reports indicate that its developer is CyberConnect, who has masterminded the development of most of the .hack games heretofore.

There’s a mysterious countdown on the CyberConnect2 website which ends in 2 days; we’ll let you know its relevance as more news drops closer to the T minus 0. As always, stay tuned here for news from the .hack//Link drop as it ripens.

The bodacious dudes over at Square Enix have announced via a global press release that Europe and PAL territories will receive the first copies of Star Ocean: Second Evolution on February 13th of this year. North America is slated to receive the game a few days earlier, so everyone should be happily glued to their screens by midmonth.

If you haven’t already, you’ll want to kick your quota of butts in First Departure prior to the release of Star Ocean: Second Evolution, so that you’ll be sure to have a clear schedule in order to tackle what’s shaping up to be a hefty, epic grandmother of a game. If you haven’t already, take a look at some of the screens here, and prepare yourself for what’s in store: a bunch of awesome nerding around in a gigantic RPG universe.

Stay tuned for more press releases as they emerge prior to the February drop.

True fans of the Final Fantasy series, and followers of its development company, Square Enix, have been eagerly awaiting for the drop of Dissidia: Final Fantasy in their own language. Korea wins out, getting the first version in Korean on January 20th. Along with the game, fans will receive free desktop calendars if they initiate a valid pre-order between January 12th and January 14th.

Square Enix and SCEA know how eagerly their American fans are awaiting the release of this game, so maybe they’ll do some kind of rad promotional thing on our behalf, too. We’d like to see something with LEDs or lasers, preferably. Or maybe some kind of neat fan club, like the Burger King Kids Club, except even more gnarly. We’ll take an embossed card to prove our mettle to our jealous friends. More news on the stateside drop of Dissidia as it leaks. Stay tuned.

Disaster Report 3, the adventure game waiting in the clutches of its developers for a full-blown stateside and East Asian release, is kicking up some momentum for itself by leaking some of its pre-release game screenshots. Irem has posted some new screens on its website, wherein you can witness the characters Naoki and Saki struggling to escape the city that’s bursting into flames and shrapnel and stuff in front of their eyes.

Fans of the series have been sweating this release for a long time, so these new screens should give them something to think about. Newbs to the game will appreciate the first glimpses at the title that might just take them out of the world for a few long, epic months, when it drops sometime later this year. More news here, so don’t ever, ever leave. Ever.
