User Manuel of the PSP ITA forums just released his beta version for Android, the shell-inspired multi-purpose app on Google Mobile, which gives the user access to all sorts of functions...well maybe not all sorts just yet, but it'll get there. Features in the full article.

Fresh from the Italian PSP Community, PSP-ITA, comes this new update for Moscas' homebrew app, GoblinsPSP, described as a "utility multifunction PC".

Fans of the Disgaea franchise left 08 behind with a huge grin on their faces as Nippon Ichi confirmed the arrival of Disgaea 2 Portable on the PSP. Now let's get on in the new year with more information - and new screenshots - for the said game.

Are you gonna miss the outgoing prez? Now here's a homebrew game that even the Democrats will want to get their hands on: PSP Sock and Awe! It's simple: hit poor ol' George with as many shoes as you can in 30 seconds. Strongly reminds me of a Bush presscon in Iraq, but unless I'm much mistaken, that was the inspiration behind this game.

Thanks again Miles for letting us in on another good one!

You've got the Star Wars franchise, Batman, and Indiana Jones - all of them getting their own multiplatform Lego treatment for the past few years. And just last month, talks of a Harry Potter Lego ran rampant, with Warner giving a "no comment" response to the rumors. Now, it's been revealed that, whether or not Traveller's Tales really is Lego-fying Hogwarts, it definitely won't happen next year. Meanwhile, they might just throw us a new (err, newly recycled?) Lego game instead.
