I want to introduce a new PlayStation mini game for your “classical” collection: Mahjongg Artifacts, arriving on PSP (and PS3) on Tuesday, June 15!

Mahjongg Artifacts is a beautiful and engaging classical board game that is a prequel to Mahjongg Artifacts: Chapter 2, which you may have already tried on the PSP. Both chapters of Mahjongg Artifacts have a Story Mode featuring the main character’s quest for lost relics. Now you have a chance to discover how the story of the game started!

Mahjongg Artifacts features three play modes that take you through five exotic cultures: China, Greece, Egypt, Mexico and Atlantis. The Story Mode presents a comic story that unfolds as you master 25 layouts in the mahjongg game. Bonuses and powerups differ from those in Mahjongg Artifacts: Chapter 2, so the gameplay won’t feel the same. In the Classic Mode, you have an opportunity to choose layouts and tile sets you want to play, and in the Endless Mode your game never ends — the tower of game pieces rises, offering you unpredictable tile arrangements.

Check out the video of Mahjongg Artifacts above to see the game’s beautiful graphics and relaxing music inaction. Don’t miss out — the game has a wealth of options for just $4.99.

#preview You'll fight the North Koreans in the parking lot of Home Depot (or of a store that looks just like it).

"The year is 2027 ... A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic." -- THQ product description, Homefront

An invaded America has become the video game prémisse du jour. Resistance 2, Turning Point, and most recently, Modern Warfare 2, have all explored the notion of a besieged superpower. Kaos Studios' upcoming Homefront may be treading familiar territory, but there's still good reason to be excited: It's got heart.

The hands-off playable presentation I watched showcased stellar visuals -- a must in this competitive genre. Particularly striking were the environments, filled with incredible detail. Homefront's opening scene evoked a "lived in" quality: the overgrown foliage, the dirty equipment, and the solemnly swaying swings conveyed a complex yet unspoken story.

Home is where the war is.

Before anyone starts going crazy, I’m thinking that this is just speculation on GameSpot’s part. I mean, these games are pretty safe bets for demos, but still, we don’t know that this information has been confirmed by Nintendo.

#e310 Sony has been making a big deal about 3D. So too has Nintendo. Until now, Microsoft has been fairly silent on the subject. Looks like that's about to change. More »
