MotoGP Review (PSP)
10:06 | by Evan
It took a while, but handheld gamers are finally getting a chance to do their racing sim-style. Hey, there's nothing wrong with lobbing a grenade at an opposing driver or tracking down the elusive "invisibility" power-up, but if you're a fan of true racing, it was a lengthy wait -- more than a year -- before you could air it out with any sense of realism. And while fans of touring cars, NASCAR, Formula One and rally racing have all had a chance to go virtually way too fast on the PSP, those itching for Moto Grand Prix racing have been left out. Until now. A year and a half after the launch of the console, Namco Bandai has brought its MotoGP series to the PSP. It has its moments, but ultimately pales in comparison to some of the other racers available for the system. Check out our complete review over at GameSpy!

Nintendo DS THDJ Hands-On Preview
14:44 | by slateman IGN has posted a brand new
Hands-On Preview of THDJ for the Nintendo DS! This is the first writeup of its kind, that I know of, and it covers online modes, voice chat, controls and the whole lot. A good writeup, take a peek. The game should be pretty cool, I'm just hoping the speed is increased, as THAS was pretty slow.

Here's the press release:
MTV AIRS STACKED MASTERS SHOWDOWN
New York, NY --- Myelin Media announces that highlights of the MTV STACKED Masters Showdown Tournament, the officially-sanctioned Texas Hold em poker tournament for STACKED with Daniel Negreanu , which officially aired on MTV on September 24 27, 2006, are now be available for viewing at http://www.stacked.mtv.com.
The five finalists: Amber Dalton from San Antonio, Texas; Mark Caminong from Hollywood, CA; Michael Rose from Buffalo Grove, Illinois; Brennan Conley, from Monroeville, Pennsylvania; and Jared Sharp from Short Hills, New Jersey; fought their way to a Showdown in Las Vegas to face off against Daniel Negreanu at the final table. Tune in to see who wins and who goes home in this one-of-a-kind Texas Hold em match-up!
"I was truly amazed by the quality mix of Texas Hold em players and genuine enthusiasm of STACKED fans from all over the country, said Negreanu. Its great to see players showcasing their talent and using STACKED single player mode to sharpen and improve their skills.
My favorite thing about playing STACKED is the realistic game playing by the AI, said Michael Rose, one of this years eager participants. Stacked is the best poker game available right now by far and is a great teaching tool for most inexperienced players who want to tighten up their game.
MTV STACKED Masters Tournaments are scheduled, live events where players can win Masters points depending on the buy-in, number of other players and, of course, how far they make it. The buy in amount for each level will reflect the level of skill for players who can enter the higher the level, the greater the buy in amount. The lower level tournaments will be held more frequently than the higher level tournaments giving everyone a chance to play and build their bankrolls.
Top players were selected by earning placement on the leader board by accumulating Masters Points in official STACKED Masters Showdown Tournaments, and of that sample, five were selected to participate in the MTV STACKED Masters Finale. For additional tournament information you can visit STACKED.mtv.com for the latest updates on tournament schedules, complete results for all MTV STACKED Masters Showdown Tournaments, player leaderboards, and detailed statistics for individual players.

I haven't seen these at all, so many thanks go out to Wagugu for the link!
It seems that
Computer & Video Games has a
Xbox Preview from June! The article covers the Shaba version of THP8 which is coming out on the PS2, PSP and Xbox next month. It also contains 8 screenshots! Adding to our little preview from the other day, here are some details that we didn't quite know! It looks to be more 'back to basics', the clichι term really coming to fruition here, as many were looking for after the last few games. It's a good read, and one I'd been looking for. Many thanks for the link!
