[Tornado Outbreak]
Remember that scene in "Twister" when Bill Paxton is telling that story about how once he was all mano-a-mano with this tornado, and it was giving him guff, so he took his bottle of Jack Daniels, and well, old Bill Paxton, he threw that bottle right into the center of that there tornado, and he said "Have a drink, Tornado"? Have you even wanted to BE that tornado? Because now you can!
Tornado Outbreak's revolutionary new game mechanic puts some of Earth's most powerful elements in players' hands as they try to defeat the evil Omegaton in an effort to save the world. Gamers take control of a dynamic tornado as they tear through open environments, chewing up the landscape and spitting out everything in their path. The more the player destroys, the bigger they will grow working against a variety of challenges - time based, collection and point - in the search for hidden elements and enemies from another world. Tornado Outbreak provides expansive sandbox type gameplay and real time destruction allowing players to obliterate everything in the game.
Tornado Outbreak delivers humor-filled missions and varying objectives, ranging from blustery mischief at a local trailer park to gale force feats in the middle of sprawling cityscapes. Diverse action-packed gameplay in high-definition levels provides both casual and hardcore gamers the ability to tear through towns in beautifully stylized action. Double the destructive power by playing co-operative multiplayer where two players drive through environments picking up and tossing everything standing in their way in an effort to do battle against Omegaton.
The items in a player's path range from the usual rusted tractors and rustic farms, to the strange and unexpected as they battle their way through increasingly complex and crowded areas around the world. Through large open worlds, users can take control of how objects are damaged and destroyed with the active destruction game mechanic. For added replayability, players can complete multiple missions and destroy different objects within environments to maximize each level and earn extra points.

Tecmo is finally branching out from Tecmo Bowl. With a RAGING METAL SOUNDTRACK!
Playing as the anti-hero, rage through the wrath of fearless enemies and build the nastiest and most profane army you can think of in this new-style invasion action game. Prepare to wash the mouth of your army with soap as they can't help but engage in zombie bashing dialogue over a raging metal soundtrack that helps your channel your inner anger. If you can deal with the gut-wrenching, Smack-talking, fluid-spitting, and limb amputating ways of your army, you can embark on your journey of vengeance to defeat the king.

* Create a Zombie Army: Defeat as many enemies as you can to transform them into your own personal soldiers
* Combo Attacks: Choose up to ten different combo attacks to fight your way through varied enemies ranging from animals to soldiers
* Show Some Personality: Prepare to wash the mouth of your army with soap as they can't help but engage in zombie bashing dialogue

* PSP Ad-Hoc Multiplayer: Challenge up to three other players in VS play or collaborate with them in co-op play
[PSP Minis]
PSP Mini news is starting to flood the newsroom, and to be honest it's tough to make sense of it, so in just a brief bit of news, the almost intriguingly names Funky Punch is hitting the PSN. Available on the iPhone for about a year, Funky Punch combines fighting games with dancing, and if that sounds good to you then maybe you should check this out!
Also out is Digger HD. Digger HD, a remake of the classic PC game, Digger™, from the early 80s, has received a major facelift for the new millennium, while staying true to its classic gameplay. Players control a little construction vehicle that must make its way through an underground maze. Gamers dig through the dirt horizontally and vertically to create their own path while collecting power-ups, jewels, coins and other bonuses while avoiding the pursuing monsters.
Ladies and Gentleman, some of the many Minis!
