NFS ProStreet for PSP Drops Friday

Racing fans who can’t seem to get enough of their speed fix on computers and consoles will soon have a new option with the release of Need for Speed ProStreet for PlayStation Portable. Electronic Arts announced on Monday that its upcoming title will ship to retailers on Friday, Feb. 22.

The PSP version of ProStreet will offer a similar experience to the original game, which was released for Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and PC back in November. Players climb behind the wheel of stock automobiles in a racetrack environment and attempt to climb to the top of the circuit by winning races, unlocking new tracks, buying new cars, and customizing them.

The game offers a total stable of 35 cars, including the 2009 Nissan GT-R, 2008 Porsche 911 GT2, and 2008 Mitsubishi Evo X. Tracks include Tokyo’s Shuto Expressway, the Autobahn, and the Nevada desert, among others. The PSP version of the game also gets Driver Persona, a feature that allows players to customize the difficulty of the game, and Driver Intuition, which traces out a best line for the course to help guide players.

Need for Speed ProStreet will retail for $39.99, and come with an E for Everyone rating.

Street Fighter 6 Tracking the Mystery Code: How to solve the Passcode Puzzles

World Tour mode in Street Fighter 6 is one of the most bizarre and unique modes in this package. Traditionally, fighting games focus on their multiplayer, with the single-player components usually just being a gauntlet of fights against CPUs, with a small cutscene and the beginning and the end. Not only does World Tour mode spice things up by adding hubs to travel around, masters to meet and train with, and tons of things to unlock, but it also adds in a ton of new gameplay mechanics besides your traditional 1-on-1 fights.

What you might not expect is that there are even puzzles. That's right, later on in the game you could easily be stumped not by a tough opponent, but a number puzzle. There are two of these passcode puzzles to overcome in Street Fighter 6's World Tour mode, but you can tag us in to solve them for you so you can get back to the action.

Street Fighter 6 gift guide: the best gifts for every World Tour master

A player stands in Metro City's Times Square equivalent in Street Fighter 6 World Tour.

Of all the new things introduced in Street Fighter 6, from the World Tour mode to creating your own custom character, no one would likely predict that there would also be a bond system typically found in RPGs. Each of the 18 fighters included at launch is in the World Tour mode as masters with whom you can train to learn their moves for your avatar. Unlike in real life, becoming better friends with someone is very simple, and you will get rewarded for it too! While you will build some Bond Points through traditional means with some masters, such as leveling up and completing missions, giving them presents is the fastest way to these fighters' hearts. If you're like us and have no idea what a big green beast-man or yoga master would even like as a present, here's a complete guide on the best gifts to give each master in Street Fighter 6.
How gifts work

Gifts come in two types in Street Fighter 6 when given to a master. They will either be worth 2 Bond Points or 5 if they are that master's favorite gift. If using nothing but gifts, then you will either need to dump 50 normal gifts on each character or as many as 20 of their favorites.
