Look up all the synonyms of the word varied and you've got the perfect adjectives to describe to this week's big batch of Blu-ray releases. With The Assassination of Jesse James, Crimson Tide, and others sharing the spotlight this week, there's bound to be something for everybody. Check out the motley crew of titles in the full article.

 Ubisoft Montreal had a lot of things to say about Assassin's Creed (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3) that made us hunger for more. Innovative controls, amazing visuals, big and immersive cities, top notch art direction, you name it. The much anticipated action game finally appears on shelves, and we jumped at it without a second thought. We played it for hours on end, and here's our verdict.

High Voltage Software and Vivendi Games have released 50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition in Europe on October 27, 2006. The game was released in the US on September 12, and the Australian release followed soon after on September 30. The recommended selling price is US$ 39.99.

In the game, you follow 50 Cent through his adventures in a New York drug underworld story where he has to hunt down the hitmen who tried to get him. The game got an M (Mature 17+) rating from the ESRB, adding to controversy about claims that the game has educational values: 50 Cent said the game teaches kids about the violence of gang life in order to avoid it.

This game is a "reworking" of 50 Cent: Bulletproof for the Xbox and PS2. What's the main difference? The PSP version has a top-down perspective.

For fans of the music, 50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition features music videos and new original music from 50 Cent and Sha Money XL.

I’m sure our readers are quite curious about the history of PSP Hacking. I can state that about 60%-70% of our readers have joined us within the last 6-8 months. And trust me, your time hasn’t been as exciting as the first few months after the release of the PSP.

We’ve had the Firmware Updates, the eLoaders, the ISO Loaders, and loads more, and just about everyone knows about them. But far too few people know or remember the first few weeks/months when the PSP came out.  Lets go on a small journey, shall we?
