By Ian Bell March 29, 2005

“The generous 480 x 272 LCD screen isn’t just perfect for games, movies, and e-books. For a growing number of early PSP adopters, it’s also the ideal way to read and store stacks of “manga” (or comic books in Japanese) on the go, in your very pocket.

Inspired by classic road films like Easy Rider, the upcoming game combines racing, visual novel decision-making, and a roguelite structure into a single eclectic project featuring a stark black-and-white art style that calls back to PlatinumGames' Mad World. It's the kind of left-field project that needs to be on your radar this spring.

How to change your Steam username

Steam library.

Unless you've got an absolute premium username or have too many linked accounts to name, there's no reason to stick with the same username forever. Unlike some services that offer limited username changes or charge to change your tag, Steam allows users to adjust their usernames at any time.

How to teleport in Minecraft to speed up your adventures

A Minecraft characters stands by a tree.

The world of Minecraft is ridiculously large, encompassing dozens of biomes, enemies, and resources for you to gather. Exploring the world is half the fun, as you never know what's around the next blocky corner. Exploration can also get you into trouble, as it's easy to venture too far from your home base and lose track of your location. If you're looking to quickly get back to your base – or get somewhere else on the map quickly – you'll be glad to know you can teleport in Minecraft.
