Ready at Dawn Says No More to PSP

PSP Dev Kits

The company who created Daxter and God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP, Ready at Dawn, have confirmed on their website that they will no longer be supporting the PSP. They commented a while back that after completing God of War that “our work on the PSP has come to an end,” so we all knew it was coming, but now it’s official. The picture above are the actual PSP dev kits that they are sending back too.

So what can Sony do to stop other developers from heading in the same direction? How about some more advertising? They don’t give the PSP enough publicity. Toss some money at it, and maybe it’ll start selling. Well, it’s been a top seller in Japan for a while now, so maybe things will pick up. To be honest, I don’t think thats the reason Ready at Dawn made their decision though. I think it just had more to do with company focus.

Earthworm Jim is Back

Earthworm Jim

It’s just been announced that Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 will be coming to the Virtual Console on the Nintendo Wii soon, but even better news is that there will be an all new installation in the series. Interplay has struck a deal with the original creator, Douglas TenNapel, to bring Earthworm Jim 4 to the next generation consoles. Groovy. Groooovy. Gr-Gr-Groooovy. Remember that? Go back and play the old Earthworm Jim and you’ll remember.
