It’s been almost three years since the last Armored Core game release on console. There has been a couple of re-releases of Armored Core games on the PSP but no games on the console front. Thankfully, From Software recently announced its fourteenth installment of the series Armored Core 5, which will be for the PS3 and Xbox360.
You can check out the announcement video and robot/explosion gallery after the break.
It is always a pain to find someone that lives near you to play the same PSP game via adhoc. It is also awkward to sit in the same room looking at two different small screens. But luckily Sony has released the adhocParty system will be releasing the adhocParty system “soon” to help reduce those awkward moments.
The adhocParty software will allow PSP owners who own a PS3 to connect to other PSP owners over the Playstation Network to play PSP games that have an adhoc mode. It will also allow the players to talk to each other with the PlayStation Eye or Wireless Headset. To top it all off, the software will be free to download.
So all of you people out there with the new Gran Turismo and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite will be able to play each other in the comforts of your living rooms. As for me I will be getting out Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness and purchasing Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days in hopes that there are others out there to throw people at.

Another exciting week of DLC is in store for fans of Rock Band.
On the tails of the success of the new The Beatles: Rock Band game and PAX, I rather expected next week’s DLC to wind up being somewhat subpar.
I was totally wrong.
Why do you do this to me, Harmonix? Just when I think you’ve offered a bit of a reprieve from spending all of my money on your game, you go and throw out more amazing DLC options.
This week’s DLC brings us more songs from another of my favorite bands, the Talking Heads.
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Tuesday is a good day. Especially if you’re a fan of turning your imaginary guitar amp up to 11 to enjoy some more Spinal Tap in your Rock Band.
This week’s DLC is set to release on the Xbox 360 and Wii August 4th, and PS3 owners will be able to grab it August 6th. It will include all 11 tracks that comprise the fictional band’s album and the movie’s soundtrack.
Atlus just posted a walkthrough of their upcoming PSP remake of the original Shin Megami Tensei: Persona. The video shows off the new and improved UI, reworked graphics, all new voice acting, anime cut scenes, and gameplay. It looks like Atlus has learned from Persona 3 and Persona 4 and tweaked the original to streamline the gameplay in this remake.
