The above video speaks for itself. Shown at Leipzig this gameplay footage reinforces the unique path this game is taking for what is essentially an FPS game.

PSP 3000 unveiled…..who really cares?
Seeing as it worked so well a year ago to boost sales, Sony has again decided to realease an updated PSP for the fall season. Staying mostly true to the PSP 2000 (Slim), the PSP 3000 adds a new PS Button, a new anti-reflective LCD screen and an internal microphone. Whoop-de-doo I’m sold!

XBLA games to be discontinued
