IrDA Soccer

This game is also a multiplayer game. In this game is one the rusher, the other the keeper. The rusher can shoot with his PSP or with any IR-Remote. The keeper tries to catch IR-Signal the rusher had "shoot". If the keeper has received and "catched" the "IR-Ball", he'll get a point.

Controls:

• Cross - Shoot
• Select - Enable/Disable the play with an IR-Remote

iR Pong

This game you can play alone or with your friends. When you're playing alone, then it's like the classic Pong (you can choose between IR-Remote and D-Pad in the singleplayer mode).

When you're playing multiplayer, the ball flies from one PSP to the other and the players have to try to keep the ball in the opponents PSP. Speed increases with each hit, and losing all balls results in game over. Multiple levels are included.

Controls:

• Remote (any button)/Square (Singleplayer - Infrared Mode) - Moves paddle left/right
• D-Pad (Singleplayer - D-Pad Mode) - Moves paddle left/right
• R - Switch between Singleplayer Infrared and D-Pad mode
• Triangle (Multiplayer) - Return ball (If the IR ball is lost)
• Start - Pause

• Start - Pause

Big Bang

In this game, you navigate a spaceship through a galaxy while avoiding collisions with meteors, planets, and other obstacles. Collisions result in losing life points. The game has a level system: With every level, the game becomes faster and more difficult.

You have to also manage enegry(NRG) to prevent the ship from sinking; it recharges automatically when the ship descends.

Controls:
