At GDC, I had a chance to speak with Todd Morgan, a senior producer at SuperVillain Studios, about Fat Princess: A Fistful of Cake for the PSP. It was the second time I’ve seen the game, so I already knew what to expect. I already knew that the game features 50 percent more maps and more modes. It’s pretty much more of everything, which is never a bad thing when it comes to this team-based hack and slasher.Here are some quick tidbits and impressions from that interview as well as the PlayStation Portable shindig last week in San Francisco:NEW MAPS and REBALANCED CHARACTERS: So what does 50 percent more maps mean exactly? It means that players will go through six new maps along with the old originals. To make the game work for the 24 characters on screen, SuperVillain had to eliminate some pathways and shrink some of the maps. In the PS3 version, there were always three roads to enter a base — low, medium and high — but in this portable edition, the team had to make sacrifices a

New Orleans Saints quarterback, Drew Brees, is the cover athlete for Madden NFL ‘11, EA Sports today announced. Let the curse talk begin.Source: WikipediaThe curse has seen mighty cover athletes Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Shaun Alexander and most recently Larry Fitzgerald, fall to injury during the season following the Madden NFL cover appearance. It’s simple. If you’re on the Madden cover, you’re likely to get injured.According to an interview with the QB on The Statesman, Brees doesn’t care much for the curse.“I believe in fate, and if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. But destiny is stronger than any curse, and this team is destined for great things,†Brees said.

The new maps have arrived for Modern Warfare 2. How do they stack up? Come in to find out as 411’s Todd Vote weighs in on the five new three new maps and the two classic maps from Call of Duty 4. Is this the cure for Mapathy?The Stimulus Map Pack is anything but that in price. For a fairly steep price tag of 1200 MS points ($15), you will get three new maps, and two classic maps from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. In this review we will break down each map a bit and then ultimately try to decide if they are worth the hefty price tag. We’ll start by discussing the classic maps.Overgrown:Warning!! You remember the gas station? Yeah, well the gas pumps blow up now… Just so you know… Overgrown is basically a snipers dream, being a fairly open map. In the two years I was stuck playing this map on Call of Duty 4, I never liked it because I was always a run and gun type. Toddo was operation front line, and it wasn’t till I started practicing with a sniper rifle that I really starte

What do you do when you’ve conquered the world? Try conquering it again, I guess.Such is the position that Nintendo finds itself in, at least if the world you’re talking about is that of the portable gaming scene. Despite hitting shelves back in 2004, the Nintendo DS system is still totally dominating the handheld market, even managing to set a U.S. sales record with a stunning 11.2 million units sold in 2009.But rather than sit back and bask in their success, Nintendo is moving forward by releasing the fourth iteration of the DS, the DSi XL, on March 28. Not sure what the new system is all about? Here’s what you need to know.1. Yes, it’s much, much bigger.Much. This is the heaviest, longest, and widest DS to date. Specifically, the DSi XL boasts twin 4.2 inch screens — 93% larger than the DS Lite and a fair share bigger than the DSi. It also packs a standard stylus alongside a fat new stylus roughly the size of a pen. See for yourself in this handy size comparison pic.2. That goes fo

In Japan, the excitement is building, as the promotional machine behind the latest episode in Square-Enix’s role-playing Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XIII, is starting to crank into action, prior to the game’s December release in the home market on PlayStation 3.Although the game will be available in the US and Europe on Xbox 360 early next year, in Japan, Sony has sewn up an exclusive deal that should do sales of its new PS3 Slim console no harm whatsoever.You may wonder what all the fuss is about, but such is the popularity of the Final Fantasy games in Japan that Sony can confidently expect a spike in PS3 console sales, particularly since this is the first Final Fantasy game to be produced for a high-definition console.Furthermore, unlike here in Europe, the Japanese price of the PS3 console, at around 30,000 yen (around £200) is far from prohibitive, approximately twice the price of a Nintendo DS.As you can see from the trailer, the game looks amazing, and it comes with

As more and more advancements have been made on gaming devices, we seem to encounter more issues. A good example of this would be the PS3. It is said that the PS3 has more problems than its older version, the PS2.

Most troubleshooting procedures are the same with any other gaming device or console, and there are in fact more than one or two options, and which one you choose would depend on you.Here are some of the simple guidelines you can use.1.
