Dominic Snadeeza asked:


Tony Montana, aka Scarface, is probably the only one who rose on top of the cocaine drug trade industry and built his own empire. It seems like almost humanly impossible to do and yet he did this with enough ambition, determination and balls. Making sure that he lives by some strict principles in life, Tony sees to it that he does not hurt anyone who don’t deserve it. But he is faced with the ultimate challenge of rebuilding an empire he has worked so hard to build. As you play this game, whether Tony eventually succeeds or not will be up to you.

Scarface - The World is Yours is based on the Scarface movie, which was released on 1983 but with a whole lot of exciting new twists. Although it is a single player action/adventure game, you’ve got enough thrills and action to help make your solo gaming efforts worth all your time. Set in Miami, the game starts off with Tony’s escape from the hands of Sosa’s men. This has fueled his desire to take revenge and regain his empire.

You have two focus on this game: managing your empire and setting up fronts for your all your drug trades. But to be able to do this, you have complete certain missions, eliminate your opponents, and build your reputation. By selling cocaine, you can earn quite a lot of money. But this won’t be an easy ride, as you have to start of selling to street dealers. Eventually, you’d seal some great deals with large suppliers and money should come easy for you.

Since reputation is what you need to re-establish Tony’s empire, you must work on building that up by completing your missions, buying fronts for your drug deals or exotic items. If you have made enough great deals, you should have the money you need to buy these items and fronts. When you have more power, you’ll reputation will grow as well. And aside from allowing you to have access to more items such as cars, boat, weapons and other exotic items, your higher reputation will also open up extra opportunities to take control over Miami.

As they watch your front businesses and empire grow, your rival gangs will not just sit back and let you do that. They will try to disrupt your business by attacking your fronts and destroying them. So this might be the time to hire the help of a henchman or buy a surveillance to help guard your investments.

Miami is divided into different turfs and you will start off your empire in Little Havana, and you’ll eventually explore some other parts of the city. Within each turfs are fronts that you need to obtain and control from other gangs. When you have succeeded in doing this, you will find a separate island where the cocaine is being produced. Work on sealing some great deals with the large suppliers so you can start smuggling the drugs and place them on a warehouse for distribution.

The best way to control your hold on each turf is to purchase fronts in that turf. In doing business with the managers of the fronts you have purchased, the price rate and demand for the drugs you supply them will increase and this should help boost your earnings. And then the next step for you is to defend your fronts and you would need weapons for this.

The weapons that you can use for this game range from a hand gun, to automatic rifles, to shotguns, to rocket launchers. Although you begin with quite a few choices, they will continue to expand as you build you arsenal and as you increase your reputation. And aside from more choices, a higher reputation will also enable you to upgrade your weapons to increase their accuracy and to activate the silencer.

When you have constant gunfire and gang warfare going on, expect the police to be constantly on your guard. Although you can ease the heat of the police, you will need to pay them off or else they will chase after you. If you kill gang members, you’d have to pay that off to the police too. But stay away from being indicted, or it will cost you more than enough money you are willing to spare. At some point, you’d have police tailing you in an exciting car chase.

Therefore, a reliable set of wheels could come in handy. You can use one of your own, but oftentimes the speed at which the chase goes on could demand something more that is built for the chase. But you should not have any problems with these when you have built enough reputation as you will be able to buy and handle faster cars. Now, you’d have no more of those run-in with police officers because you can easily speed away. And not only that, to add more excitement to the game, there is a nice variety of choices for your potential car. You’d be made to choose between the likes of a well-armored but slow running vehicles to a speedy but prone to damage cars.

Well, Tony’s deadly not just because of his cars and mansions, he is also equipped with a rage meter that builds up when performing acts using the “balls”. Because of this, fighting off multiple enemies can be quite easy so there’s no need for you to worry about being outnumbered. When your rage meter is filled, Tony becomes invulnerable and he can unleash a powerful attack that will target multiple enemies at once. In the process, Tony also gains health by absorbing the health of the enemy he has killed.

Another great way to upgrade your health, rage meter and stamina is to meet femme fatales and invite them to stay in Tony’s mansion. This can be possible by gaining a certain amount of balls and soon enough, these femme fatales will start to appear on your map, so you can travel to meet them. This will absolutely fit among Tony’s beautiful collection of exotic items. And speaking of exotic items, every purchase you make of these items will help increase your reputation, varying mainly on the price and rarity of each item. When you have reached a certain level of reputation, you have to go back to the mansion to unlock new turfs and weapons while also upgrading Tony’s skills.

And when it comes to Tony’s skills, nothing could probably be as exciting as the intimidation meter that enables him to get away with quite many things. It is probably his most powerful weapon and has allowed him to seal great drug deals, stop aggression of gang members, get the best rates from the bank, and talk your way out after being busted by the cops. This one though requires timing for you to be able to pull this one off or you could end up ruining everything.

Graphically, Scarface is just plain beautiful. It has obviously painstakingly paid attention to every tiny detail that would help bring this game together and recreate an entirely new world, although it was based on the film and some other specific locations taken from the movie. Some of these locations include the mansion itself, the Oakley Drive-In, the Babylon Club, the Sun Ray Motel, and even Angel Dust Donuts.

The same could also be said for the sound which has played a major part in this game. The actors did a great job in terms of the voice acting. Aside from that, players to this game will also be treated to the movie’s official soundtrack and a wide variety of artists and music genres. And to make your gaming even more exciting, you can also create a playlist via the music menu so you can listen along to your favorites tunes as you play the game.

Every detail of this game has been rendered to deliver the best and closest Scarface experience you could possibly have outside of the movie. As you play Tony Montana, you’d have endless possibilities in terms of what you can do, knowing the power and skills that you have. This is also the closest opportunity that you can have to experiencing the lavish lifestyle of a drug kingpin. So join Tony’s adventures as he works on rebuilding his empire.

Do you need to learn how to download games onto PSP? We will show you how. The PSP is a wonderful electronic tool. The IPOD and the Zune thingy certainly have their fans, but for my money the PSP is simply the best tool out there. The only negative factor with the PSP is the expense of the games. This needn’t be too much of a problem, as there are ways to download game onto PSP without it being too expensive!

Download Game Onto PSP- The 1st Step

You may already know that PSP games are in the form of a UMD disc (Universal Media Disc?). As you can’t put downloaded games onto a UMD, you will have to store them on a memory card, or memory stick. These come in a standard 32mb size, but that is far too small to use with modern games. It is a good idea to get the biggest memory card you can afford. It need not be ridiculously expensive, as a 2 or 4 gigabyte card will do the job, and you will often find reasonable deals on these. A new memory card needs to be formatted to avoid problems in the future.

Download Game Onto PSP- The 2nd Step

The most important factor you need to know in downloading games onto PSP, is where you are going to download the PSP games from! The number of free download sites numbers in the hundreds of thousands. You need to be very wary of which site to choose, as a lot of these sites will give you downloads that will not work properly, often at incredibly slow speeds, and sometimes with malware attached. Stay away from these dishonest and dangerous sites. The only sites which can reliably be used for downloading free PSP games are the sites which charge a small fee at the start, which goes towards maintaining the site, and updating the available downloads. Once you have paid a small one off fee, you will have access to unlimited downloads.

Download Game Onto PSP- The 3rd Step

As you start to download, be sure the filenames have “PSP” at the end of them. Many of these sites will offer more than one format, so be sure that the download is for PSP before you waste your time! Don’t use one of the disreputable sites, or else you could end up downloading dangerous rubbish that is nothing like what you thought you were getting. These dishonest people will change filenames just to hoodwink people into downloading their own programs, so you need to be very watchful.

Download Game onto PSP- The 4th Step

Once you have the game on your computer, it will need to be transferred to your PSP. The memory stick you are using needs to be big enough to handle the game. What you must do is attach the computer to the PSP using a USB cable. Keep the PSP switched off until you have made the connection. When you switch the PSP on, the computer will hopefully recognise the PSP as a kind of removable drive, and it should be visible in “My Computer.” From there you just need to double click the PSP to gain access to its memory stick from the computer, and the game files can then be copied and pasted from the computer onto the memory stick of the PSP. One thing you need to know is that games must go into a file called PSP, and then one called GAME, so you need to have these folders on your machine. If you don’t, then create them first.

Download Game Onto PSP- The 5th Step

That is really everything you have to do to download games onto your PSP. As soon as the files are on the PSP you can launch them by opening up the GAME menu and selecting the game you want from the choices available. You can get error messages at this point, and these often happen because of incompatible firmware. This is not an unusual problem if you have downloaded homebrew files, but you can often solve it by downgrading the firmware on your PSP to one of the early ones.

So there you are. It is really quite easy to download game onto PSP. The most difficult part is trying to find a good site from which you can obtain your downloads. Enjoy searching!

“Downgrade Psp?” you ask, what the heck is that? Well if you have had your Psp for a little while now you might have heard of a Downgrade or downgrading you Psp. When referring to a Downgrade you are talking about returning your PSP firmware to an earlier version which had exploits that certain smart people could take advantage of, in this case we are talking about version 1.50.

When Sony found out that there were exploits that could enable people to play games that weren’t released by Sony themselves they released Firmware Updates (this was known as Upgrading your PSP) in the hope that this would make PSP users only purchase Sony UMD Games and Sony UMD Movies. Much to the annoyance of Sony when they started releasing firmware updates people started to try and find ways to hack the firmware so they could return the PSP back to a 1.50 which would once again allow them to play other games.

These other games and applications are known as “Homebrew” and are developed by programmers who want to release these games and applications free of charge to other PSP users around the world. This is the big attraction of a PSP Downgrade and is why people take the risk of downgrading their PSP. Currently there are 100’s if not 1000’s of homebrew games and applications available to download for free. Not only are there homebrew games available for the PSP user who has gone through the PSP Downgrade process but there are also 1000’s of “old school” games that you can play on you downgraded PSP, games like Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers and more.

“So can you downgrade any PSP?”, well at the time of writing you can downgrade any PSP that is firmware version 3.03 and below, this includes PSP’s with the TA-082 motherboards which up until a wile time ago were not able to be downgraded with ease. Unfortunately those with a PSP that is higher than 3.03 cannot downgrade as of yet but it is only expected to be a matter of time before a downgrader is made for those particular models.

All you have to do if you have one of the PSP’s that can be downgraded is find the correct downgrader. You must make sure that you use the correct downgrader or you risk bricking (rendering inoperable) your PSP. Once you have found the appropriate software to downgrade it, make sure you follow the instructions exactly as they are printed. If you do not follow those instructions exactly you will again brick your PSP. Once you brick your PSP your only option is to get it Mod-Chipped which would cost you around $100 or use it as a rather expensive paperweight.

The benefits of doing a PSP downgrade are numerous, the free games and applications, the DVD collection that you can back up and watch on you PSP all make the risk worth the reward.
