The next generation portable (NGP) from Sony would arrive first in Europe, and not in Japan as speculated earlier. The buzz is that Sony has set development deadlines for its “key western releases” to ensure projects are completed within a stipulated time –  that is before the end of the summer for a fall deployment. The deployment is said to culminate on November 11, the supposed release date. The company had already mentioned that the “goal is get at least one territory out by the end of holiday 2011″. But the electronics giant has not said anything regarding the

Despite the fact that videogames have been around for 30 years, you still hear from some people that “they’re for kids” – but perhaps this latest survey will help top dispel that notion finally… After all, given the number of mobile phones that are around, it seems only logical that around 33% of US and UK adults should be mobile gamers, with handsets surpassing consoles and computers as the primary gaming device. Commissioned by PopGap Games, the survey also found that smartphone owners are the fastest-growing mobile segment and are by far the most avid consumers of

With trouble across North Africa causing waves and potentially a massive ripple effect across the Middle East, the sensitive political situation is set to feature in a new geo-political, role-playing strategy game. From Gamebience comes Final Ordeal: Rise of Democracy, which puts gamers in control of a fictional nation under the brink of collapse due to outdated policies and people’s rise for reform and change. Sound familiar? Playing the head of state of a fictional country that bears no resemblance to Egypt/Tunisia/Yemen/Bahrain/Libya/Tunisia, etc. (the five virtual

The brick-based MMO LEGO Universe is delivering a new time-travelling challenge this month, with teams of four invited to band together and travel into the past! From February 23rd, players will travel back in time to defeat the chaotic Maelstrom, in an epic clash happening many years in the established LEGO Universe storyline’s past. An added degree of danger is of course evident – without players to step up and make history in saving the Nimbus Station of the past, the Nimbus Station of the present may never be rebuilt!

Last week, HP had unveiled its first ever webOS tablet, the HP TouchPad, which comes with a lot of impressive features and is expected to become a great rival to the Apple iPad and the Xoom tablet. Now, we have a treat for all the game lovers out there, a video of gaming on the upcoming tablet. The new video, which comes to us courtesy of Daily Mobile and TechnoBuffalo, allows us to take a peek at the gaming goodness on the new 9.7 inch webOS 3.0 tablet. The guy who is handling the device is playing Armageddon Squadron II, and the game appears to be running quite smoothly. In

This could be one way to make Apple TV hot and happening again. Offering a wide range of gaming options and allowing you to turn your Apple TV into an online gaming unit should see a huge spike in the interest towards Apple’s television set. That is what apparently iOS 4.3 promises to offer and that has many of us excited about what we could possibly expect from Apple in the future. Many have come across what is being called “ATVThunder” in the iOS 4.3 Beta version and this seems to point to a future where iTunes Store will stream gaming content into your living room via

Getting a video game developed can be a lot of trouble – unless you are multi-talented and self-sufficient, the game will more than likely take years, with a few lines of code written each evening, characters slowly designed and rendered, background scenery and world’s laboriously built, all for free. It isn’t exactly conducive to a successful project, which is why it’s pretty cool that the recently-launched www.8bitfunding.com has helped one developer to reach their target for funding the game Expedition: The New World, while another is close to

The news about the Sony’s PSP2 has just not stopped since the day people have found out that it is on its way out. There already have been a million rumors that have made their way out, none have been confirmed with certainty and most seem nothing but the extended imaginations of over-zealous PSP fans. That said, the latest piece of news comes from a very reliable source (Nikkei newspaper from Japan) and claims that the PSP2 will have 3G capabilities. With the amount of news flowing around about PSP2, one just hopes that the January 27th release lives up to the expectations

If you’re going cold turkey over Zenonia or any other Android RPG, Discretion might just have arrived at the right time for you. Released by Red Sky Forge, the game features an extremely stylized in-game 3D world with 10 different zones and a user interface designed for mobile gaming. Designed with multiple endings, the “mature” storyline takes you on a compelling journey through this pseudo-Medieval world, kicking off in the court of King Assam. The plot of the game seems to centre around a power-struggle for the kingdom of Assam, left open to takers by King Assam’s
