PSP releases for the week of April 30th

We have three new PSP games this week. You’ll probably be most interested in Legend of the Dragon, but who can resist Ultimate Board Game Collection? It contains 20 classics, including chess, Chinese checkers, backgammon, concentration, etc. Or maybe you’d enjoy hanging out with the fairies from Winx Club?

  • 7 Wonders
  • Aedis Eclipse: Generation of Chaos
  • Cube
  • The Fast and the Furious
  • Hard Rock Casino

Gradius III, Battle Lode Runner, Wonder Boy on the Virtual Console

Three new games are hitting the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console today.  Gradius III for 800 points, Battle Lode Runner for 800 points, and Wonder Boy which will run you 600 points.  I don’t plan on picking up any of these games as I’m still playing Tecmo Bowl and Punch Out.

If you buy these, and want to leave your review here at GameDangos.Com, we will post it!  Just leave it in a comment and it will be on the site!

Buy more songs for Guitar Hero 2 on XBOX360

Already mastered all the songs on the new Guitar Hero 2 for XBOX360?  Well you can now purchase three others via XBOX Live.  Granted, the prices are pretty bad for each pack, as they will cost you 500 XBOX points each.  But if you want to keep your game updated and playing new songs I suppose this is about the only way to do it.

  • Pack 1: “Bark at the Moon,” “Hey You,” “Ace of Spades”
  • Pack 2: “Killer Queen,” “Take it Off,” “Frankenstein”
  • Pack 3: “Higher Ground,” “Infected,” “Stellar”
  • Hopefully the next packs that get released won’t cost as much, or alteast include some newer songs in the packs.  Let us know what you think!

    Halo 3 beta coming out May 16th

    If you are one of the hardcore gamers that are waiting for Halo 3 Beta well mark your calendars for May 16th!  Beginning at 5 a.m. PDT on May 16th, and running until June 6th you will be able to play the long awaited for Halo 3 beta.  Remember that you needed to buy a special copy of CrackDown and be a XBOX Live Gold member to play the Halo 3 beta.

    In the beta, you’ll get your grubby mitts on three maps, “Snowbound,” “High Ground” and “Valhalla,” which “represent a mixture of large- and medium-scale combat environments.” You’ll also get new vehicles, like the Mongoose all-terrain vehicle, and weapons like the new and improved Assault Rifle, Brute Spiker, Spartan Laser and the new Spike Grenades.

    XBOX 360 Keyboard Controller Atachment leaked

    Pictures and Videos of the rumored XBOX360 Keyboard attachment showed up on the Internet over the Easter weekend and wow, I have to admin I’m pretty impressed.  It is one step closer to having a Keyboard / mouse setup for the XBOX360.  (One reason why I hate FPS games on consoles)

    XBOX360 Keyboard

    As you can see in the picture, the keyboard attachment will connect to the XBOX360 controller via the headphone jack allowing a full qwerty keyboard to talk to all your buddies on XBOX Live!

    We aren’t 100% certain that this is what it will look like, we are hearing rumors and rumors on other gaming sites saying it is a photoshop and fake, but right now all we know is Microsoft is indeed planning a keyboard attachment that will be released this summer.  For now , we will go along with this one posted here!

    Wii Zapper gun coming soon?

    Wii Zapper

     Tired of using the WiiMote for your shooting games? Well soon you will be able to use the new Wii Zapper Gun!  This is only a prototype picture but I expect the gun to look very similar to this once it is released.  It will be time to get our Dunk Hunt on, just like in the old days!

    Game Stop has listed the Wii Zapper for sale for only $20.  Not a bad price at all!  I was expecting more in the $40-$50 range.
