Above you supposedly have your first look at the PSP Go, Sony’s rumored new handheld that we told you aboutback in March. This according toGaming Console Networkwho has claimed it received the June 2009 issue of Sony’s digital magazineQorea bit early. While they’re not the best images (they’re said to be snapped from a camera off of a television), what we do see jives with what we’ve been hearing — thin like a Blackberry, sliding screen… and no UMD drive....

To speed up the process, ensure to use someRaft Tycooncodes. Luckily, the developer is offering a ton of free Cash, so be sure to claim it all while it’s still up for grabs....

Game to benefit from new consoles ‘if and when it comes out’ Speaking with IGN, Ubisoft North American president, Laurent Detoc recently shed some light on whyRainbow 6: Patriotsis “still cooking” and had to be moved over to next-gen consoles. “We had a core team.

‘Nintendo fans got us here which is why we go the extra mile to serve them’ The long awaitedShantae and the Pirate’s Curseis finally about to hit the Wii U. The game has been out on the 3DS for a little while now, but I’ve been holding out for the home console version. Wii U-specific features like “HD character portraits byMega Mandeveloper IntiCreates, Off-TV play, Classic Controller Pro and Wii U Pro Controller support” are worth waiting for, though both versions have neat stuff like “unlockable Pirate-Mode, multiple endings, and and epic original soundtrack byJake ‘Virt’ Kaufman” so you really can’t go wrong....

Square Enix’sMana(Seiken Densetsuin Japan) series of games has had a pretty solid run so far. They’re mostly good games that never get the spotlight that theFinal Fantasyseries does.

That’s a good thing to know if you’re going to drop 21,000 yen (about $259) on Square Enix’s newly announcedSeiken Densetsusoundtrack set....
