Free PSP Games

Did you know you can download free games for your Sony PSP from the internet, and it's actually really easy? Most PSP owners have no idea this is possible, and continue to pay over the odds for their games and media. Check out these tips to help you learn how.

Tip 1-
The first thing you need is to find out where to download the games from. This isn't such an easy thing to find out, as so many places offer free downloads these days, it's hard to know which ones to trust. One thing you definitely want to do is avoid the torrent/P2P style sites, as these things are definitely illegal so you can get in trouble. What's worse is that sites like this are real hacker's playgrounds, which means you run a serious risk of downloading something harmful to both your computer and your PSP. Not good!

Tip 2-
Don't be gullible. There are a ton of sites out there that will promise you the sun and the moon if you just follow this link and that link and give them your credit card details etc etc. Sure, some of them are great and really do what they say they will, but sadly most of them just wont! A common trick is for a site to offer free PSP game downloads, but to ask you to pay a monthly fee to join-sure, you get the games for free, but you have to pay every month. What happens when you don't download anything for a month? They still charge you, that's what. Not too cool at all huh?

Tip 3-
Get your wallet out. No really. If you want to experience the very best and most trustworthy download sites on the net, you will have to pay for the privilege. Not much, but you'll have to pay nonetheless. There are a few sites emerging now which will really offer you superfast unlimited PSP downloads-and not just games, you'll get TV shows, movies, music, whatever you want. These sites really are a breath of fresh air, and the catch is that you have to pay for them. It's not so bad though, as it's only a one off fee, and is only about the same price as a new game from a store-you're then covered for life, to download as much as you want.

When was the last time you paid for one game and got all of them for the same price?

As you've seen, there's more to downloading PSP games than you may first imagine. It's well worth it though, so keep looking and you'll find the perfect sites.

Surviving Halo 3

With the release of Halo 3, Bungie has now completed the Epic Halo Trilogy. Halo 3 concludes the tale for Master Chief and his alien sidekick Cortana. Bungie has certainly upped the ante when they made the final installment. A lot of the components of Halo 3 are familiar to old previous player, although some of the new weapons and terrains take some getting used to. In Halo 3, the Normal levels are easier than in Halo 2. This is because of Bungie’s effort to reach an audience of casual players. So, we suggest that if you have played Halo in the past (even in a Normal Level) try to challenge yourself and play Legendary or Heroic.

New challenges abound in the world of Halo 3. If you are new to the game or just haven’t played in a while, you are bound to start of your experience by dying frequently. To help you along, here are tips on surviving Halo 3:

Master your gadgets – With any game, you must know how to handle your weapons. Master it so that you can whip it out in a blink of an eye. It is also important to know which weapons you should use for a particular opponent. Halo 3 has a very useful feature - the dual wielding ability that allows you to handle two weapons at the same time. Master this feature and use it wisely.

Know your enemies – Like knowing your weapons you should also know your enemies. Some of them are easier to destroy than others. Some panic under pressure and others fall apart when you destroy the Brute leader. Another important tip when killing an opponent is to Aim for its Head. Hitting the head will require fewer shots from your part to take them down as compared with making body shots.

Get familiar with your surroundings – learn the ins and outs of your surroundings. Figure out where you can hide to shield yourself from enemy onslaught and try looking around to find bonus items you can use. Also, beware of the Skulls. The Skulls are important because they multiply your points, but they also have effects that range from helpful, or sometimes silly to downright frightening. Don’t hesitate to pick up a skull, they multiply points, just beware of their effects.

Sonic the hedgehog is still going strong!

In recent years the gaming industry has exploded into mainstream culture and has intertwined itself into the fabric of everyday life. The success of gaming can be traced back to the classic systems of the 90's, the glorious days of Nintendo and Sega. Yet we all know that the weight of a consoles success always depends on that one defining game. When picturing this perfect synergy of a console and that one game most people will point to Xbox and Halo. Yet everyone who grew up in the 90's knows that this synergy started way back, when Sega and Sonic the Hedgehog meshed together so perfectly.

Sonic the Hedgehog, known as that speedy blue ball of fury, was first birthed by Sega as its "mascot" of sorts. Sega eventually saw the potential of the blue hedgehog as a hit game series and released the first installment in 1991. Sega rode on the coattails of their prodigy as Sonic soared through loops and jumps on TV screens across America and sub sequentially turning Sega into a leading video game company.

From 1991 to 1994 Sega churned out three hit titles starring Sonic and a fourth with Sonic sharing the spotlight with his pal, Knuckles. Sonic barrel rolled out of his 2d home and set foot into a lush 3D environment, in Sonic Adventures for Dreamcast, and never looked back.

Sonic's creator, Sega, decided to drop out of the hardware market in 2001 and allowed Sonic to step into the consoles of its former competitor, Nintendo. After seeing major success on the Nintendo platform, Sega decided to also allow Playstation and Xbox the privilege of selling the Sonic series. In 2006, Sonic the Hedgehog found his series in the form of a star, a part of the honorable "Walk of Game". Almost two decades and 7 console generations after its initial debut, Sonic the Hedgehog is still going strong, with a new hit game on next-gen consoles, Xbox 360 and PS3.

The PSP Revolution Is Taking Over !

The Sony PSP or Sony PlayStation Portable is a top rate gadget for gamers or someone interested in a handheld computer. The PSP has a full range of Sony PlayStation games available, as well as some special features such as GPS and wireless internet browsing capabilities.

So, in a realm between mobile technology and gaming, you can have a diverse hand held gadget that is top of the line. Few gamers are likely to be able to afford the thousands of dollars for the PSP GPS system, but for specialists looking for an advanced GPS platform from Sony, this is a top bet over other GPS systems with all the extra functions.

The PSP compares and does not compare to a laptop. It stakes out a new territory that is somewhere near a tablet pc, but without a Windows operating system. So it is doubtful you’ll be able to run your pc programs on the PSP. But for playstation games, entertainment, DVDs, CDs, Mp3s, and internet in one unique package, it is an interesting toy.

The PSP has a memory stick memory system, so you can load up on MP3s from your computer or transfer software and games that way. There is a wireless networking capability for internet access but the browser will not display all pages correctly. Some third party developers have been able to get into the dynamics of the PSP operating system enough to create some official and unofficial software for the platform.

These, especially the hack or homebrews, can expand the PSP system functionality considerably, and there are a lot of great features that the PSP has to draw upon. The introductory cost is reasonable, and even better if you can find one cheap on auction. For those who use RSS for podcast subscriptions to their ipod, the PSP offers a similar functionality. The lcd screen on the PSP is of excellent quality from Sony, making the PSP an over all extremely well engineered piece of consumer technology.

How the operating system expands and the third party software develops for this platform will be continued to be watched and analyzed by an active user community.

Secret StarCraft Game Play Tips/Tricks

False Surrender Trick

If you have an expansion, and one of your base’s are under attack, press enter, and type in “has left the game” (make sure you have chat on “send to all”), but don’t send it yet! Pause the game and then send the message. People will think you have surrendered! This looks more realistic than the Fake Elimination Trick because the color of the fonts are all the same when the game is paused! I actually got fooled by this trick before!

Nuke Defense Trick - Submitted by Jesse Shuck

If a small group of your units have been chosen for a targeted nuke, and you can’t see where it’s coming from, simply use statis field with an arbiter and the covered units won’t even be scratched.

“Invisible” Supply Depot - Submitted by Snakeab

If you are a newbie or you know you’re gonna lose, and your terran…

When you get money to spare send an SCV behind a mineral patch and build a supply depot right when he starts building it, click on the SCV (not the supply depot) and press cancel. It will almost look as if it weren't there. Then when you lose all your buildings (except the supply depot), your opponent will think the game is messed up and leave. You should probably build a few all around the map. Try to build one behind your enemies minerals.

“Invincible” Tank Glitch (Does not work with 1.08!)

This trick is used to make your siege tank have the hit points of a building! To do this, first hotkey a tank, and put it next to a building that is capable of flying. Lift off the building, and land it. While it’s landing, get your tank, move it under the landing building, and siege it. You must do this VERY QUICKLY. The tank will now have the life of the building and be invincible to melee units! With practice, you can get 5+ tanks hiding under 1 building!

Critter Trick

A VERY easy and cheap way to see your opponent’s base!

This is very simple to do…all it requires is a map with critters (preferably Kakarus because they fly) and you being Zerg. Get a Queen with 75 energy and look for a critter. Parasite the thing, and you can see what it sees! Once the critter walks (or flies) into your opponent’s base, enjoy the view! This is really cool because your opponent will not automatically attack the critter! This is because it’s a neutral unit! This neat little trick will help A LOT in a game.

Note: This will not work very well against comps because comps always kill critters. But most humans just ignore them!

Tips from the Pros:

- ALWAYS expand! Do not be afraid to!

- Against comp, ALWAYS build defense.

- Against human in a no rush game, do not build tower or choke point defense. It wastes time, money, food, and it’s not needed. Just have anti-air detection towers (eg. Missile Turrets) scattered around your base.

- When attacking, ALWAYS leave units behind in your base.

- When attacking, go for the workers, supplies, and key production buildings.

- As Zerg, build Nydus Canals in your expansions. This allows quick back-up against attacks.

- NEVER have more than 2 workers per mineral field, and 4 workers per geyser.

- Attacking with a mix of units is more effective than attacking with bunches of the same unit.

- Combining spells with attacks can greatly increase your chance of winning a battle.

- Go Overlord hunting with Devourers, Corsairs, and Valkyries. Zerg players often put all their Overlords in the back of their bases, near their primary resource area.

- Cloaked units work well against humans early in the game.

- As Terrans, ALWAYS build a comsat on your first Command Center; NEVER a Nuclear Silo.

- Against Zerg, don’t bother attacking Larva or Eggs. Attack eggs only if you have strong units.

- Trick your opponents by doing a small attack with air, and after he/she spends tons of money on anti-air, do a massive ground attack, or vise-versa.

- As Terran, don’t nuke buildings unless you have more than one nuke available. If you only have one, go for units (nuking a bunch of burrowed units kicks pompis!).

- When playing big money maps, always do frequent attacks on your opponent to wear him down.

- Attacking 1 unit at a time is a lot more effective then having all your units attack different things. To do this, use the shift key. Hold down shift while issuing commands, and your units will finish each one before moving on to the next.

- A very cheap, but useful, tactic is to parasite critters (especially kakarus because they fly). The critter will walk around the whole map for you, and when near enemy defense, it will not get attacked!
