Another day, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:

Medal of Honor Heroes (PSP)

For the first time, players can take all the authentic WWII action of Medal of Honor on-the-go. Building on the key tenets of the franchise including historical accuracy and authenticity, Medal of Honor Heroes is the newest addition to the critically-acclaimed Medal of Honor franchise which is credited with pioneering the First-Person Shooter (FPS) WWII genre with its original release in 1999. This marks the exciting debut for a Medal of Honor game, as well as a WWII FPS game, on the PSP system.

Medal of Honor Heroes will be available exclusively for the PSP system -- with an entirely unique storyline and PSP-specific feature set. Players will experience a totally new single player campaign, and can choose from six different multiplayer modes within 15 different maps, while participating in wireless multiplayer sessions with up to 32 players -- the most EVER offered in a PSP game's multiplayer infrastructure mode. Up to eight gamers can also play across the room in a local adhoc connection. "Quickplay" missions in skirmish game mode, allow players to jump right into the action or to create customized mission scenarios for added re-playability.

In Medal of Honor Heroes players will experience new MoH moments as they battle their way through three campaigns as their favorite lead characters from past Medal of Honor games. Take on the role of Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson -- star of both the original Medal of Honor, and the classic Medal of Honor Frontline(TM) -- in an untold chapter of his time in Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. Play as Sergeant John Baker, from Medal of Honor Allied Assault(TM) Breakthrough, and sabotage German defenses on the Italian coastline to help the invasion forces crack Hitler's iron hold on Europe. Don the officer's cap of Lieutenant William Holt from Medal of Honor European Assault(TM) -- and return to the Ardennes Forest during the Battle of the Bulge to complete unfinished business for the OSS. Along the way, players will unlock over 20 classic characters to use in multiplayer games, adding both variety and personality to their online(1) experience.

Developed by EA Canada in conjunction with EA Los Angeles, Medal of Honor Heroes is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB and has an MSRP of $39.99.

Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception (PSP)

"We are thrilled to expand upon the franchise and deliver the intense aerial experience fans expect from the Ace Combat series onto the PSP system for the first time," said Yoshi Niki, Product Group Director at NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. "With its long list of impressive new features, Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception is a must buy action title for the PSP system."

Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception will bring Ad-Hoc multiplayer game play, supporting up to four players, to the series for the first time via the PSP system's wireless feature. With licensed aircraft such as the F-14D, F-22 and Tornado F3, original tunable aircraft, a strategic AI system where the course of the player's actions will directly affect their mission objectives and an all new original storyline, Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception adds up to the most realistic and fun portable flying game to date.

Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception will be available on October 23, 2006 for the PSP system for a suggested retail price of $39.99.
