Screenshots: Clamp’s new costume for Jin in Tekken 6, new PSP screens

Namco Bandai has crammed in a lot of extra content for the console versions of Tekken 6, among them some extra costumes. We've already seen Penny Arcade's Cardboard Tube Samurai costume for Yoshimitsu, so now let's take a loot at the one that Japanese manga group Clamp designed for Jin.

Aside from the home console screenshots, we also got some new images from the game's PSP version. Check 'em out below. Tekken 6 will be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 27, while the PlayStation Portable version will out November 3.

Sony extending Official License Program to third-party accessory makers

Sony has announced that it is expanding its Official License Program (OLP) to peripheral manufacturers in Japan, Asia, North America and Europe/ PAL territories.

This program allows peripheral and accessory makers to access technical documents needed to create licensed products for the PS2, PS3 and PSP consoles. The PSP Go will be covered eventually as well.

Once these peripherals meet the "qualifying SCE standards and requirements" they'll be slapped with an OLP logo. The official OLP site doesn't list down these requirements, but let's just hope that most of what comes out of this program are actually useful.

NBA 2K10 getting 10th anniversary CE?

Seems like 2K Sports is rolling out the red carpet for the 10th anniversary of the NBA 2K franchise. Team Xbox reports that a special limited collector's edition of NBA 2K10 is in the works. The CE will reportedly have the following:

• access to the Gold Room, NBA 2K10's VIP online lobby

As noted in the pic above, the locker will also come with one copy of NBA 2K10. All of this is still unverified, but the CE will supposedly be announced today. The suggested retail price is US 99.99.

Underwater tactical action game U-Wars announced

Here's something new. Russian developer BIART has officially announced their "ambitious next gen project" called U-Wars, a tactical sci-fi third-person shooter set to be released on Xbox 360, PC, and PSP in mid-2010.

U-Wars is an underwater game, but I love how the press release describes the setting as "an ultra-realistic subaqueous scenario". The game tasks players with controlling an elite covert ops force both on land and in "subaqueous" situations.

This got me thinkg: what ever happened to Hydrophobia?

2K Sports unveils the first NBA 2K10 screenshot - Shaq as a Cavalier

When publishers whip out screenshots, they usually come in groups. Today, however, says different. What we have now is the first screenshot of NBA 2K10 from 2K Sports, and yes, that's in singular. But what the release lacks in quantity, it definitely makes up for with substance. Presenting the first NBA 2K10 screenshot - Shaquille O'Neal is now a Cavalier. Talk about updated.

If you've been following the NBA news, you'd know that Shaq will be in his fourth tag-team with a prolific scorer. The first would be with Penny, then his ring-winning stint with Kobe, the one with Dwyane, and now he's going to see if he and LeBron can nail the cup in the next season. I'm hoping the next batch of screens will have the rookie class in it. Ricky Rubio in a T-wolves jersey, anyone?

Release info is still the same - fall of this year for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii, and the PC versions.
