Sony keep denying it, but game sites and magazines keep reporting it, so I have to believe that a PSP 2 is in development.  And the latest report has it that the new PSP will feature a touch screen, not in the Nintendo DS sense, but rather the iPhone sense.  Featuring a scrolling interface like the iPhone, and touch features that will be used for system management and gaming.

I would hope also that they find a way for this new PSP to feature dual analog control, like the PS3 controllers.  Because real FPS action would be awesome on a handheld.  Just throw another control nub on the other side of the system too.  Sure the controls would take some getting used to, but once you got the hang of things, you’re blasting fools all over the place.

New Guitar Hero: World Tour track packs are coming out in February.  Three to be exact.  The first will be the Acoustic track pack featuring Incubus’ ‘Drive’, The Shins ‘New Slang’ and Ryan Adams horrid version of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’.  Why not the good Oasis version if you’re putting Wonderwall into Guitar Hero?  Because the Ryan Adams version is waaaaay too tame for a game about rocking out.

The second track pack is the Wings track pack, featuring ‘Juniors Farm’, ‘Hi Hi Hi’, and ‘Jet’.  The third pack will be a Bob Segar track pack featuring ‘Old Time Rock And Roll’, ‘Her Strut’, and a live version of ‘Get Out Of Denver’.

I have to be honest and say that this is kind of weak by Guitar Hero’s standards, and I’m not looking forward to any of these.  Get back to rocking Guitar Hero, let’s get more stuff that I actually want to play, not more of the fluff I wish I didn’t have to play to progress through the game.

Love The Maw?  Or have you still not really heard of it?  Well you should log on to Xbox Live right now and buy it off Live Arcade, because The Maw is awesomeness.  And The Maw is already getting three new levels, each of which will cost 100 Microsoft points and will feature an achievement.  The new levels will be accessible through the game’s ‘deleted scenes’ menu option.

And finally, go download the Resident Evil 5 demo off Xbox Live now.  You won’t be sorry.
