For all you Nascar fans out there, we have just watched the Nascar 08 Trailer and all I can say is WOW! Game looks great, great graphics, and alot of different options for you to tweak your car so you get to the finish line in first! Take a look at the Nascar 08 Game Trailer and lets us know what you think!
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?
Five new games are being released for the PSP on Tuesday. Does anyone have plans to buy these? I’m not really into puzzle games so I plan on staying away. Fast and Furious and Hard Rock Casino might be good for some travel games but not something I would play that much to be honest.
Only one new PSP game for this week and if you are a gambler you will love it. Hard Rock Casino consists of 20 casino games. I don’t plan on picking this one up, I’m not much of a card player or gambler but if you happen to grab it, let us know what you think my leaving a comment here on GameDangos!
EbGames is now selling the PSP Core system for only $170! That is a $30 price drop from yesterday. You can still get the value pack for $199.99 but most people could care less about a crappy game and pos headphones that come with it.
Get to your local EBGames and buy your PSP Core for only $170!!
If you were one of the people that chose to upgrade your firmware on your PSP to 3.30, then you now have six months of free T-Mobile Wifi access! So head to your nearest Starbucks, Borders, FedEx Kinko’s, Hyatt, Red Roof Inns, Sofitel and Novotel Hotels, and select airports. There are over 3000 total locations that will be offering the free service!
While this is another way for Sony to try to get the homebrew crowd to upgrade their firmware I doubt it will be working for most of them. They would rather play with the homebrew apps and games rather then free wifi.
East coast games get your joy on today! Great news for all of you with GameFly accounts (click here for your account), GameFly has now opened a new distribution center in Pittsburgh, PA! The center will now be able to get games up and down the east coast faster then ever.
Right now GameFly says they will only use the center for selected members so they can work out all the kinks of the new place. Once things get rolling they will go full force and begin adding more members to the center. GameFly will be putting out an official release in 1-2 months.
Sony has again released a new firmware update for the PSP. Have any of you already downloaded?  What were your thoughts?
Here’s the list of the improvements for this firmware revision:
Support for displaying thumbnails for items has been added under [RSS Channel].
Support for PLAYSTATION Network titles has been expanded.
The size of videos that can be played under [Video] has been increased.
Support for displaying thumbnails for content saved in the “VIDEO” folder of a Memory Stick has been added under [Video].
Update 2: For those without wi-fi access, the update can be downloaded here. Save it on your PSP under this directory: PSP/GAME/UPDATE. IGN is reporting that the video profiles have expanded to include 720×480 (DVD), 352×480, and 480×272 (native PSP) resolutions. However, it does not appear as though they’ve been successful in converting video files either.
According to Siliconera, who claim to have seen “various retailer release lists”, Electronic Arts will publish a new Simpsons game called The Simpsons Game, presumably as a tie-in to the movie. They plan on releasing it on all consoles it sounds like so be ready sometime in November!
Some Simpsons games have been fun, while some have been pretty bad. I guess it just comes down to who makes the game and how much time and money they put into it. It’s too bad that 4 publishers have already made Simpsons games in the past and one of them haven’t hit the jackpot yet.
Here is the list of all games coming out this week on the comouter and consoles. It looks like it is going to be a Ninja Turtle type of week lol! How many of you plan on watching the movie this weekend? I plan on it sometime, not sure when though.

I expect the Tiget Woods game for Wii, and God Of War 2 for PS2 to be the bigtime sellers this week. I probably won’t purchase one of them myself, but will have some reviews up on the site soon.
The Death Star wasn’t build in a day and apparently Star Wars: The Force Unleashed won’t be either. The game did have an official release date of November 2007, but now its release date has switched to “TBD” and the rumor is that it won’t be out until sometime in 2008. Much like the Star Wars universe, game delays are both good and bad because while the extra time usually helps make the game better, it tortures fans awaiting that particular title
Keep coming back to GameDangos for your video game news!
Wow are the Japanese gamers buying up Monster Hunter Portable like crazy! Capcom has said that they have sold over 1 million copies of Montser Hunter for the PSP in Japan and expect that to keep on going for a few weeks atleast.
This just proves how big gaming is over in Japan, and Sony needs to realize this and put out more games that cater to the Japense gamers. If Sony wants to crack into the DS, they are going to have to put more time and money into the PSP and put more games out like Monster House.
Three new games will be hitting the shelves this week for the PSP.  There will also be six new UMD movies so plenty of new games and movies for your PSP needs! Get out there and support the PSP and the companies that are making these games and movies!

Cory Barlog, director of the upcoming God of War II recently spoke with GameDaily BIZ, waxing on about the future of the franchise. When asked if the franchise would ever jump ship to the PSP he had a few interesting things to say: “That would be awesome. I mean, I’ve been a big proponent of that concept for quite a while. I want it on every possible system you could put it on. I think it’s definitely a possibility. It’s not something we haven’t discussed but it’s not something we’re actively discussing right now.”
