Remember when the PS3 got all of those NEOGEO titles last month? Now these “NEOGEO Station” titles on the PSP, set to hit the PlayStation Network today. For $6.99 you can download any of the following for your PSP: Having a few of these titles for portable action would be great. Keep in mind that they won’t have the online co-op functionality that the PS3 NEOGEO Station titles do.

This is alittle glimpseof what the New Xbox Experience could well have become, and as you can see, everything looks like it was coated with a thin layer of semen. Or maybe that’s just how I choose to see things. Design firm Gridplane worked on these when NXE was in its early phases. Aesthetically, it looks a bit bleak, but it seems like navigation might have been a little more intuitive than the current “visuals-over-usability” focus of the official NXE....

We all knewit was coming, but the absolutely retarded “Resident Evil 5is SO RACIST” debate has reached the mainstream press, who are likely incredibly aroused at the thought of being able to blame racial prejudice on videogames, as well as murder and rape. Huffington Post writer Earl Ofari Hutchinson makes his position clear, in an article that blatantly headlines itself “Resident Evil Racism.” “… It was no surprise that Jun Takeuchi yanked out that script to defend his video game brainchildResident Evil 5from the charge that it’s racist,” claims the reactionary whiner....
A few days ago,Shock Till You Dropreported that the nextResident Evilfilm would be getting pushed from August of next year all the way back to January 2011. Soon after, star of the love-’em-or-hate-’em movies Milla Jovovich said the delay wasn’t quite official just yet. Well, now it is. Here’s her tweet confirming as much: “So I think we r definitely pushing the film till jan 11. Boo! But we can’t rush it and hve crappy effects, so know it will rock!...
Strip away marketing and PR controversy, and forget for a moment thatDante’s Infernois a videogame interpretation of a literary classic (albeit loosely). Sure, Visceral Games — the talented team behind the critically acclaimedDead Space— has taken a bit of flak for its attempts to turn Dante Alighieri’sThe Divine Comedyinto what could most easily be described as a “big-budget third-person action videogame.” But I think some people had forgotten that Visceral knows how to make fun, technically impressive games;Dante’s Infernois no exception....

The Video Appeals Committee voted in favor or Rockstar in its appeal against the BBFC for their decision to ban Manhunt 2 from release in the UK, reportsMCV....
Apparently, Ruffian Games held a contest where artists were asked to submit graffiti that would be used inCrackdown 2. I never got the memo, but enough people did to make the results impressive. There’s a thread full of all the winnersright here. The 42 winning designs will be implemented inCrackdown 2and their creators are all getting a free copy of the game. Most of the graffiti will be combined to form montages, but a lucky few will have their art appear in Pacific City by itself....
A new report has revealed thatDead Spaceprotagonist Isaac Clarke is going to be even less sane than usual in the not-quite-confirmedDead Space 3. He’s getting a new personality, while keeping the old one, and his two halves aren’t going to be friends. Isaac’s secondary personality, currently referred to as Shadow Isaac, is going to be an unpleasant chap who revels in reminding Isaac about his failures. He’ll appear as a secondary character, and will engage in a number of verbal jousts with the hero....
It’s not really a rumor that Walmart had a listing for that pretty Japanese Mario 25th Anniversary DSi XL — that really happened. Their listing isn’t on their site anymore, butKotakusaw it. This was a Japan-only item, but the Walmart listing shows that it could be coming to the US. This XL would come in the same red color with the same lovely 25th anniversary graphics, and would be packaged with Mario Kart DS, two Brain Age titles and the DSi photo title....
When youlisten to E3 No’8, you’ll understand. Jim made quarter-pound upon half-pound references to the fact that Reggie is made of meat. I know that Reggie will never be allowed to visit the Destructoid offices, because those editors who are starved like rabid dogs would pounce and devour him instantaneously. It’d be a sight to see, though. So, the scraps tonight aren’t from what Reggie might have left behind on the Nintendo stage, but are still a bit juicy....
