PATAPON!!

The game director of Locco Roco is back again. "New" is one way to describe that experience, but we have a cavalcade of available terms (quirky, fresh, innovative, etc.) typically applied to titles deemed too left-of-center for a mainstream audience, whether due to a unique audio/visual design or an unfamiliar style of play. In the case of Patapon, the title has been lauded for both: using the face buttons as a set of drums, players must tap out memorized commands to guide their minions (which resemble walking, singing eyeballs) into battle against other tribes, as well as giant dragons and crustaceans.


Patapon is a hybrid of the rhythm, action, and strategy genres with a 2D cardboard cutout look that many have compared to 2006's LocoRoco. Patapon is said to be"inventive" when it is being displayed at the Tokyo Game Show last fall and noted its potential for highly addictive gameplay, but there's still some concern about how the title will be received by the non-core audience.



This is a totally adorable and highly recommended game for all ages.So grab it as soon as it's out!!

How to put movies into PSP?

If you are still wondering how to put movies into your PSP, this is the chance for a crash course on the simple steps to do it yourself. Basically PSP recognises MP4 movies, so in order for it to play movies with other formats like .avi etc, you need to encode it. We'll skip the technical parts cause it'll be never ending. So before you directly drag it into your memory stick, you need to convert to a .mp4 format using the program i've recommended. There are other softwares which can do the same thing, but this particular software is simple and very user friendly.However converting one whole movie will take at least an hour. You can run it overnight and it will shut down automatically after the job is finished. So what are you waiting for?!!

Link:http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/362 (movie convertor)

Tutorial:

1. Get the program from the link


2. Install it


3. Load it

After the converting is done,

drag the 2 files (.MP4 & .THM) into MP_Root/100ANV01 . If you do not see these folders, create yourself in your memory stick root.

That's all folks!! Once again, any problems please comment.
