Frankly, I'm shocked that Taito didn't crap out an updated port of Space Invaders first. It's like I don't even know them anymore. Michael McWhertor

Exit Set for Xbox 360 [IGN]

When not out lounging by the pool at the Four Seasons, pina colada in hand, I'll be making time with any number of portable games I'll have on hand. From Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2 to Brain Age to Trauma Center, I'll be making sweet gaming music with my Nintendo DS. If I feel like mixing it up, maybe I'll throw in some Exit for the PSP. Maybe I'll even remember to bring my copy of Diablo II, dispatching all manner of hellspawn while my body processes gallons of fresh Guinness.

Pity the other Kotaku editors, as they'll have to pick up the blogging slack in my absence. But enough about us. What have you got planned for the weekend? Hit the comments and let us know. Michael McWhertor

Tekken: Dark Resurrection (PSP)
The portable port of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is reviewing quite well, thank you. New characters, same proven Tekken gameplay. The fighting game PSP owners have been waiting for.

Painkiller: Hell Wars (Xbox)
The Xbox gets a bit of life support with this Xbox version of the hellacious FPS. Hot Havok based physics, too.

Civilization IV: Warlords (PC)
I'm not a Civ player, so let's let the marketing types take over: "New civilizations, leaders, units, and wonders that will offer even more fun and exciting ways for players to expand their civilization's military power as they strive for world domination."

CivCity: Rome (PC)
Cut from the official site: "An innovative city builder inspired by the world of Sid Meier's Civilization, and created by a collaboration between Firefly Studios and Firaxis Games, invites players to shift focus from building a multi-city empire and zoom-in on the great cities of the Roman Empire, culminating in Rome itself!"

Alright kids, I'm gonna see if I can hunt down a cheap copy of Exit and work my way through Half-Life 2 Episode I. What are you picking up this week? Michael McWhertor

The latest issue of Famitsu says that two of my personal PSP favorites (Ridge Racer and Exit) will get getting sequels. Exit will get some slight tweaks and new levels, while Ridge Racer will be more of the same. The release date is September 14th, and Namco says RR is about 70% done. I enjoy both these games immensely, but I'm not sure that either PSP games really merit a sequel. Easy money, sure, but should that creative energy be directed else where? Or rather, could that creative energy be directed elsewhere please? Brian Ashcraft

Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure (PS2, Xbox)
Marc's first foray into gaming follows the path of a grafitti loving thug who must get up, get in, and get more sales for Ecko Unltd. sweatshirts.

Grandia III (PS2)
It's Square-Enix and Game Arts, so it's an RPG. What more do you need to know? Expect lots of world saving, dialogue reading, and hours in front of the TV.

Forget dual screens and touch pens, Sony's portable is being powered by dirty vids. Shorty after the PSP hit the street, UMD porn began popping up all over the place. Thing is, it didn't stop.

So, just how bad has it gotten? The digipic above says, "Watch Adult UMD on the PSP" (PSP de mireru!! Adaruto UMD). Below that in small letters, it says, "We also have PSP units" (PSP hontai mo arimasu). In order to watch that UMD porn, you gotta have a PSP, right? Makes perfectly good sense. Yeah. Right. Ugh.

Recently, Sony's released a couple fantastic titles (take Exit, for example), so it's kinda sad to see the unit reduced to pimping porn or soiled by that ever-popular graffiti campaign.

We've reported on this many times before, but Gamebrink has a fan review up of an odd looking Playstation Portable game called Exit. The import is a puzzler featuring classic Prince of Persia type play. You have to figure out how to rescue people before the time runs out. The reviewer compares it to Brain Training, but says it s not as esoteric. Ashcraft was also raving about the game, and it sounds like it is worth a try.

Exit Review [Gamebrink]

Exit is a PSP title to get excited about. I've had several hands on with the software on different occasions, and I've always walked away from the game with a silly smirk on me face. Exit offers pleasantly simple thrills and good fun. While it sometimes seems that Sony's PSP commercials are better than the software, the Exit advert actually has a promising game behind it.

Exit Movie [Taito]

Game Watch has a buncha new screens up for the upcoming PSP title, Exit. In this puzzle-slash-action game, yer Mr. ESC and you must help people escape from dangerous places by locating keys and getting them to the nearest exit. The game debuted at this year's Tokyo Game Show and is a knockout. The blocky, comic book graphics would look right at home on a Nintendo Dual Screen. Just when everyone's given up on PSP's software, it's good to see there's a winner in the pipeline. Screens after the jump.
