If you’re like me, you like Solitaire… And it just so happens the mad beast himself, madman666, has released his own take on Solitaire for the PSP. This version is considered alpha but pretty damn stable as far as I’m concerned. After many games I’ve only encountered one bug…

You see that? Shit goes wrong 40 seconds in when I [accidentally] double-tap X on the covered 10 of spades. So if you don’t do that, you should be good. Enjoy!

Note: That bug is fixed in Alpha version 0.0.5.

3.5 months in the making and one of my personal favourites: ScummVM 1.0.0, codenamed “Shiny Logo.” Shiny like this Becks sitting next to my laptop… Mmmhmmm. Best of all — my old man came by the other day and dropped off all my old classics; because yeah, you need the original game data files for ScummVM to work.

ScummVM is awesome if you’re sporting the supported game data… If you are, install it and ScummVM and re-enjoy all the classic point-and-click adventures from the day; I’m talking Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Monkey Island, King’s Quest, Broken Sword, Police Quest, and no lie — the list goes on… You can check the full compatibility list right here.

ScummVM v1.0.0: (all changes)

• General:
  • Fixed several bugs in GUI.
  • Updated the project logo and icons.
  • Clarified licenses for several PS2 port files.
• PSP port:
  • Fixed video flickering and stretching is some situations.
  • Improved suspend/resume support.

When PSPlay first starts (see video or screenshot on the download page) you may be thinking, “great, Mario Paint music composer on the PSP” or as the video progresses, “great, another wannabe Rock Band game.” But really, it isn’t either/or… This is Amrcidiot’s PSPlay and it’s somewhat fun seeing what you can come up with, at least for the first little bit…

PSPlay allows you to play the acoustic, electric, and bass guitar. As well the drums and keyboard.

As raveous puts it, “simple and good for busting a few quick minutes.” If that’s the case – you’ll love it. Download, give your frontal lobe a little exercise and figure out raveous’ AI system in the homebrew game of BROX. Ad Hoc or some means of multiplayer would definitely be cool. Maybe that’s a future release.

The objective: Strategically draw lines connecting dots all over the board. Be the one to complete a full box and that’s one (1) point for you. Be the one to box the most boxes and you win.

I challenge you to a game of MTN’s Graph… It’s similar to Peg Jump in terms of simplicity; however, Graph definitely poses a real challenge as you progress further through each level. And not only that: MTN has shared a pre-release of a Graph Level Editor (GLE) allowing you to create, well, your own levels. Download both the game and the editor below.

As I mentioned, the Graph concept is simple: you start where you see the red dot, move the cursor to a connecting dot ridding the line between the two. Once you’ve eliminated all lines, proceed to the next.
