What do little girls dream of? A number of journalists, myself included, are pretty psyched about this new, small-scale MMO called Lila Dreams. It's still in the early stages of development, but it's due to be published by Kongregate later...

Fan-made PSP concept causes instant pants-tenting

post from Destructoid - Hardcore video game blog on 12 February 2008 06:38:00 AM. © Destructoid - Hardcore video game blog

Although not a real, Sony PlayStation Portable concept, this artist's rendition brings about serious technolust. It manages to hit all the marks of a sought-after consumer electronics product: it's thin, black, shiny, and has a huge screen. Oh, and it slides -- and people love sliding electronics.

This mock-up's functionality has been improved, too. There's the dual analog nubs we've been bitching about for years, and it also sports a PS button like the PS3.

Sony, do you want to win the portable gaming market? Call this guy, get this thing made, launch with Shadow of the Colossus II and Final Fantasy XVII Portable, and send Destructoid ten review models.

Check out the big, sexy, hi-res version in the gallery below.

NEWS - It looks like bringing the Devil May Cry franchise to the Xbox 360 is paying off for Capcom as gamers downloaded the demo for Devil May Cry 4 passed the one million download mark on Saturday. It will be interesting to see what the final NPD numbers for the game are but this has to be a positive sign for the folks at Capcom.

BioShock Mobile: Welcome to little tiny Rapture

post from Destructoid - Hardcore video game blog on 12 February 2008 06:22:13 AM. © Destructoid - Hardcore video game blog

The next time you'll see the lush, underwater world of BioShock's Rapture will be on a mobile phone's screen. Big Daddy isn't looking so big anymore.

A press release tells us that IG Fun, the international publishing arm of Indiagames has just secured the global rights to develop and publish BioShock for the mobile phone platform. I know what you're thinking: BioShock on a phone?

Sean Malatesta, CEO, IG Fun said, "We're trying to do great things and BioShock on mobile promises to offer a whole new gaming experience and unmatched excitement amongst mobile gamers the world over. BioShock is a special game in its genre; it brings an element of conflicting morals which has an impact on the storyline, and, among other things, on the difficulty of the game itself."

Vishal Gondal, Founder & CEO, Indiagames Ltd. added, "Bio-shock on mobile will herald the next level in mobile game development and gameplay experience. The PC and console version of the game has already been a huge hit and we are confident of replicating the success on the mobile platform too."

I really wish I could tell you more about the game, but IG Fun gives us nothing more than a few quotes and some copypasta from the BioShock Wikipedia page.

Even with my super-loaded imagination, I cannot begin to imagine what a mobile version of BioShock would look like. Is your love for BioShock strong enough to lead you to a miniature Rapture?

Rock Band gets punk and police

by: Charles Husemann
NEWS - Not a bad week for new Rock Band content but I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever see the albums of music they promised before the game shipped. Each song will set you back $1.99/160 MS points. There's the scoop straight from the Rock Band forums:
