Sony PSP Portable Review Roundup

By Ian Bell Published March 21, 2005

So far all of the reviews we have seen have a positive outlook on Sony’s new portable gaming system, the PSP. Keep in mind that most of the press reviewing the new PSP consists of non-gaming specific publications (with the exception of Gamespot which only has a first look of the PSP). The real verdict will come when the gaming enthusiasts’ sites start reviewing the PSP. So we do not recommend going out and buying the system based solely on what the Washington Post and Forbes say for example. Here is what we have so far:

We will post a nother review round-up once the PSP is officially released and the gaming sites get a chance to review it.

Android 17 is about to make gaming on foldables way better

Google is giving mobile gamers a few new reasons to pay attention to Android 17. The next version of Android introduces features aimed squarely at gaming, with foldable phones among the biggest beneficiaries.

Among the highlights is a new foldable gaming mode that finally puts those larger displays to better use. Instead of stretching games across the entire screen and covering parts of the action with touch controls, Android 17 introduces a smarter layout designed specifically for gaming.
