Atari's announced a "micro-games" compilation for PSP which sounds a bit like Warioware spliced with Marc Ecko's Getting Up.
Called HOT PXL (breathe. BREATHE), it consists of 200 games based on things like blasting through an old-days shoot-'em-up, doing tricks on a skateboard or BMX, stage-diving at a concert, or just trying to cross a busy street.
The shots suggest you'll also be putting up posters, being achingly hip and pressing L and R in front of a tree. The whole thing's due out this Christmas. It's in development at Parisian outfit zSlide.
Although it's ostensibly a mini-game comp., it does have some semblance of a plot - "drawing inspiration from street culture and the digital lifestyle" apparently. Your character is a half-skater, half-nerd (and-a-fraction-mustard?) called Djon, and you've got to guide him through "a typical day in his pixellated digital world".
