PSP Digital Comics Service Launches Today

By Dena Cassella Published December 16, 2009

There is no geekier—or better—combination than video games and comic books. Okay, maybe video games, comic books and pizza, that’s like the king of combos, but it shouldn’t count because throwing pizza into any mix bumps it up a notch or two. In the case of gaming and comics you’ll be glad to hear that Digital Comics, the PSP comic store, is set to go live today at 3pm. The Digital Comics Service is stocked with hundreds of new and classic collections, allowing you to choose from Marvel’s battling superheroes, Disney’s loveable cartoons, and your favorite Star Trek characters from IDW. The comic store also has a bunch of free comics on stock.

In addition, the European PlayStation blog says that the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa stores should become available at 5PM GMT, but unfortunately the store in Ireland is unavailable today due to technical issues. Go to playstationcomics.com to get Digital Comics on your PSP, and check out all the great names in the catalogue for yourself. You can also chat with other gaming and comic book lovers.

Xbox Cloud Gaming could soon let players use their smartphones as controllers on TVs

Microsoft is testing a new feature that turns your smartphone into a virtual Xbox controller for gaming on supported smart TVs.

Xbox Cloud Gaming already lets you play console games on a compatible smart TV without owning an Xbox. But there's still one piece of hardware you need to get started. A controller. Microsoft is now testing a way to get around that requirement, allowing players to use their Android phone or iPhone as a virtual gamepad. The game runs on the television, while your phone takes care of the controls.

The feature is part of two new Xbox Cloud Gaming previews, and there's an interesting difference compared to what Sony offers with its PS5.

God of War: Laufey

God of War: Laufey is one of the most highly anticipated games out there, and anyone who has been loyal to the PlayStation side of the console wars is waiting for the latest installment in the series. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a little longer to boot it up on your console. Earlier today, Santa Monica Studio announced that it’s delaying the game, which is now expected to land on May 20 next year.

The studio didn’t give a reason for the delay, but says it will use the extra time to further polish and optimize the game, so it offers players the best experience possible. Below is the full statement released by the studio:

Microsoft stuffed an Xbox Series X inside an alligator, and you could actually win it

Xbox just made the most Florida gaming console imaginable

Xbox Series X-Bite

A new special edition console from Microsoft isn't something new. Over the years, Xbox consoles have been a part of plenty of limited-edition collaborations, including a controller modeled after Deadpool's backside. But its latest creation just takes the cake.

Microsoft has stuffed an entire Xbox Series X inside a giant alligator, and the fun part is that you could take this monstrosity home. Meet the new Xbox Series X-BITE, a one-of-a-kind console that looks like an alligator swallowed Microsoft's gaming hardware whole. According to Xbox's official announcement, the bizarre creation is part of a special giveaway celebrating the company's upcoming trip to Florida.
