Recently in Sony PSP Category

HAVING just tried out the excellent Gran Turismo on the Sony hand-held, I was fearing the worst for Motorstorm when I first popped the UMD disc in.

WHATEVER the perceived faults with Sony's PSP, or the PS3 for that matter, you have to admit they are both serious pieces of technology.

Sometimes you can forget this, but plonk in Gran Turismo and you'll realise the handheld is an absolute beast.

THIS game does a great job of bringing the Japanese anime series to your fingertips.

The graphics are amazing and look just like the cartoon and the game uses the same cast for the voices.

I RECKON monsters get a bad wrap - we're always trying to kill 'em when all they probably want is a king-sized snack.

Sure they look scary, but so does Kerry Katona and we don't try to cut her head off do we?

Here at Power Up we have friends in high places - and in Los Angeles our very own insider LA Dolly is at E3 to give us the lowdown.

Here's what she had to say;

"Hi Power Uppers - Microsoft wheeled Sir Paul, Ringo and Yoko, Spielberg and Hideo Kojima (Oh yes Metal Gear on 360 at last) out onto stage for their press conference.

Also the new thing called NATAL - you will have heard a lot about this already - I know Mr Wollaston has just blogged about it!

Pele and James Cameron were at the Ubisoft press conference, with James Cameron talking rather in depth about Avatar.

There is a new camera peripheral for the Wii. Jay Z and Eminem played at Activisions DJ hero party. Notable spots include Kelly Osbourne, one of the Olsen twins plus some of the cast from Mad Men, Leo DiCaprio and Matthew McConnaghey.

Sony and Nintendo press conference today. Rumour has it that not only will Rogue Warrior Dick Marcinko be at the first day of the show but he might have a "friend" in tow... Over and out - LA dolly

Resistance has always been a non-portable console game, But that ends with this game as it is the first Resistance game that you can play on the go.

Steve Wollaston - Sunday Mercury games reviewer Steve has been writing about video games for donkey's years. In fact he is probably far too old for it now which is why you will see a lot of reviews been done by kids... He was recently nominated for Regional Games Journalist Of The Year at the Games Media Awards which he believes was a fluke. His major love is sports games and rates Sensible World of Soccer circa 90's as the greatest game ever made - closely followed by Championship Manager 2.
