Sony can’t get enough of those weird PSP games. Following in the footsteps of such titles asLocoRoco,PataponandHoly Invasion of Privacy, Badman!, we havea brand new bitof portable weirdness fromthe PlayStation C.A.M.P development program. This is100-man Ton no Bara Bara. Players take on the role ofTitori, a man who must protect his town from a series of unmanned airships that descend from the sky to destroy things. Titori will need to latch onto the hull of the ship and tear pieces of it....

The US PlayStation Web site has opened up a delicously patronizingnew pageto promote the Lilac PSP andHannah Montanabundle, claiming that “Girlz Play Too!” The beautifully misguided and cynical page spouts such wise words as, “OMG Lilac PSP,” and only gets worse from there. The first thing I noticed was the “games girls play” section, where I’ve learned, for the very first time, thatLocoRocoandPataponare actually girl games, not designed for the male of the species....

The “me too” peripherals aren’t even out on the market yet, but already the mud has been slung between Sony and Microsoft regarding Project Natal and the Sony Wiimote. Rob Dyer, the man who is putting my kid through college with his fanboy-bating statements, has claimed that Project Natal will not lead to much innovation, while the controller known right now as “Arc” will be the superior option. “From Sony’s perspective, rather than go out and do a whole PR barrage to give everybody the ‘happy, happy, joy, joy’ news we’re going to show up and have a line-up of products to show people rather than having a lot of great statements to say, ‘This is what’s going to happen,'” said Dyer, mocking Microsoft’s marketing strategy....

Thedeath knollof consoles and physical media has been ringing since before this current generation of consoles hit the market. It’s a long, slow knoll, but it seems that almost everyone is in agreement that its end is coming. Adding his confirmation to the pile is Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada, who in a recent interview withMCVsaid his company, along with Sony and Microsoft, are ready for the shift. “In ten years’ time a lot of what we call ‘console games’ won’t exist,” he said....

According to an interview with Pro-G,Square-Enixwill be bringing a brand new, next-gen MMO to the PC and Xbox 360 with a PlayStation 3 version also considered a possibility. Fromthe interview: Pro-G: So what are you working on now? Any plans for the future? HT: I’m still working on XI as it’s on-going but we are also working on a next-generation MMORPG for 360 and Vista but PS3 is a possibility....

Disclaimer — I wasn’t originally going to post this video. I shot it the same week that Sagat and Pals reviewMarvel Vs. Capcom 3, and within a few days after the game launched, most of the stuff about on howMarvel Vs. Capcom 2fans (namely, Justin Wong) was no longer valid. I re-shot the video with new points (and better sound), but that video was lost when my computer was stolen last week....

[Sundays with Sagat is a video series where a man named Sagat talks to you about videogames. This is serious business.] This week’s episode started off really good. Sagat went on a tear about how each Mario game has a counterpart in the Street Fighter world (Donkey Kong=Street Fighter 1,Mario 2=Final Fight,Mario 3=Street Fighter 2,Mario World=Street Fighter Alpha,Mario 64=Street Fighter EX,Mario Galaxy=Street Fighter 4,Mario Galaxy 2=Super Street Fighter 4, etc), and it was awesome....

It’s a good day for fans ofSuper Meat Boy: the Steam version has been given a level editor. You can create and upload one-off levels or entire chapters, and rate user-created content in theSuper Meat Worldportal thanks to this new update. To try the editor out for yourself, look under the Tools section of Steam, rather than launchingSuper Meat Boyitself. Even if you aren’t able to come up with anything too creative, the community at large is already on the scene....

A fighting game fan I am not, butSuper Street Fighter IV 3D Editionis exciting to me simply because it’s a fairly solid indicator of how strong the 3DS’ graphical capabilities are. While graphics don’t necessarily make the system, it’s still good to know that the 3DS is going to look gorgeous. Super Street Fighter IV 3D Editionjust got anofficial websitetoday, along with a batch of new screenshots that show off just how pretty this game’s going to look....

Grasshopper Manufacture has been on a roll with all the new games they have coming down the pipeline. They’re keeping the momentum going withDiabolical Pitch, previouslyknown asCodename D. So what is it exactly? Well, it’s a baseball pitching/fighting game hybrid for the Kinect. Basically, you and a buddy can perform baseball themed attacks on people in animal mascot suits. Uh-huh. The first round saw me throwing baseballs at targets by doing a throwing motion with my arm....

Alright, there is apparently an easter egg on the Nuketown map ofCall of Duty: Black Opswhich is activated when you shoot the heads off all of the mannequins within a certain amount of time. The folks at NextGenTactics put together a team of guys to take on the challenge and what they found can be seen in the video above. It can also be read about below, but I thought I’d spare anyone who might like the surprise of seeing what happens without me just telling them....
