PSN: Bishi Bashi, C&C, flOw, COD4 pack News
News by Tom Bramwell
No sign of the Americans' echochrome demo on the PAL PlayStation Store this week, but instead there's Bishi Bashi Special and Command & Conquer PSone downloads, full releases for flOw PSP and the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack, and even a couple of demos.
Bishi Bashi Special is of course a mini-game compilation from a billion years ago and costs GBP 3.49 / EUR 4.99, which is the same amount you're expected to pay for the PSone version of Command & Conquer. Both should work on PS3 and PSP.
Speaking of the latter, the PSP-compatible version of flOw - the previously PS3-only float-around-in-a-petri-dish-being-arty-'em-up - costs GBP 4.99 / EUR 7.99, but PSP owners can get the God of War: Chains of Olympus demo for free. PS3 owners, meanwhile, get access to a Rocketmen: Axis of Evil demo.
But the main thing, as promised, is the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack, which includes Killhouse, Creek, Chinatown and Broadcast maps and costs GBP 6.99 / EUR 9.99. Broadcast is based on the TV station level from the single-player game, but we can't remember what the others are, apart from Chinatown, which is respectable. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough. [Forget it, readers. It's Chinatown. - Ed]
Elsewhere there is a Metal Gear Solid 4 "Sneak Out" PS3 theme, wallpapers for Dark Sector (one) and MotorStorm (seven), and trailers for Resistance 2 (the old one), Warhawk Operation: Broken Mirror, Viking: Battle for Asgard (two) and TimeShift (three). Take it all.

Calling it just a mini-game collection is an affront to the greatness of Bishi Bashi.
It's mini-games done right. |

THe original C&C on PS1 was a 2 Disk Game, anyone bought it that knows how this works, is there a disk Menu or is it 2 downloads?
Just interested cos alot of the games im waiting for to appear on PS1 Downloads are multi Disk Games ( MGS, FF7 8 9 ), and i was starting to think maybe they wouldnt do multi disk games. Also for the sake of C&C it might of actaully of been nice to have two seperate bootable games still so you only had to copy one of them to the PSP at a time, as 1 was for GDI and the other for NOD. |

C & C is apparently broken. It plays too fast for it to be playable...

Sony mentioned a "big surprise" after the store revamp...What was it?
This update is no better than the rubbish they were putting out before the update. Many people are still (quite rightly) upset about the way SCEE is treating them: http://threespeech.com/blog/?p=1028 Over & Out. |

I so want Bishi Bashi Special... I've wanted to have a go at it ever since I heard it had a minigame called Uncle Launcher.
FYI, multidisc games are fine now, the firmware on PSP has been updated to handle this, and the emu scene out there are happily converting their multidisc games into one massive file! FF7 should be possible on PSP (that would be a very clever move for a DL game), FF8 was a bit crashtastic and requires some fiddling to get running @ 99.99% safeness. |

Is Bishi Bashi fun in solo though? I had it on PSX and the only time I played it was with mates.
