Step into the shoes of the legendary hero, Indiana Jones, in an all new epic adventure! Set in the year 1939, Indiana Jones® and the Staff of Kings™ follows the rogue archaeologist on an all-new globe-trotting quest.

From San Francisco's Chinatown to the lush jungles of Panama, Indy must use his whip, fists and wits to fight through ruthless opposition as he spars with his nemesis, Magnus Völler, in a race for a relic of biblical proportions — the Staff of Moses.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings features completely interactive environments, where players need to call upon their wits and daring to make each spring-loaded environment a weapon in order to dispense of foes in clever and unexpected ways. Also, embark upon thrilling action sequences that remain true to the spirit established in scenes such as Indy's pursuit of the motorcade in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the mine-cart scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the free-for-all aboard the tank in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Tecmo might have created an entirely new genre with their PSP title Undead Knight - the zombie tosser.

Announced during E3, I got my first look at Undead Knight early on during the show, with a helpful Tecmo rep playing through a mission while I watched. The game blends hack and slash gameplay, anime design, and a heavy metal soundtrack with a unique zombie-conversion mechanic that adds a little bit of strategy to the mix.

Little was revealed about the story, something about a journey of vengeance against the king or some such, instead focusing on the game play aspects of the title. The player takes on the role of one of three anti-hero characters - the armored tank, the lithe rogue, or the speedy female mage-looking character, as they hack and slash through enemy ranks. The twist here is that as they fight, they have the option of turning their enemies into zombies, who then fight by their side.

While I was most intrigued by the two human characters, only the large, armored monstrosity was available for the demo, and after a brief bout of PSP blue-screen (it was a very early build) we were underway.

Using relatively simple controls, the demo-driver waded into modest groups of enemies, cutting a bloody swath through them to demonstrate the basic combat. They he grabbed one, hit a button, a BAM, instant zombie slave. The zombie fought on his own, but could also be picked up and thrown at enemies for even more damage. After converting a few more zombies he had an army going, with somewhere between 6-8 going at any given time.

The zombies aren't just fighters and weapons, however. They are also integral to puzzles and boss fights. Some gates require a certain number of zombies be attacking them before they are destroyed, sort of like the portions of Ratchet and Clank in which Clank controls tiny robots. During the boss fight I watched, the character tossed zombies onto a huge enemy, weighing him down so the player could step in and attack.

Graphically the game is on par with your older PSP games - it won't be challenging Chains of Olympus any time soon, but the atmosphere was interesting, and the game mechanics intriguing. I'll have to see much more of Undead Knight before my interest is fully piqued, but it's off to a fine start.

The official Oratan 5.66 blog announced a few days ago that the official twinstick peripheral that fans have been waiting for may come into existence later this year. Specifically, Hori are going to release a pair of sticks sometime in November for the eye watering price of 30,000 yen. Considering that both the Saturn and Dreamcast sticks cost 5,800 yen on their respective releases only shows how out of whack this new price point truly is.

That said, if Hori were to use the Sanwa JLJ-PL2-8V's in the stick's construction that could help to explain the price tag (as they cost a cool 8,500 yen each). After all, Hori utilise a fair amount of Sanwa parts in their other sticks and using this hardware (instead of fashioning their own) would aid in the creation of the peripheral considering the November deadline.

There are a few very large catches to all this though; the sticks will only be available via pre-order and will only go into production once a secret number of pre-orders have been met. In addition, Sega have also been quick to explain that this deal with Hori is still being worked out. Final specifics on the sticks and the pre-order program will be made via a formal announcement at the June 13th "Virtual On Night" Xbox Live Park online event.
