Playstations and Motorola Rokr (cool...could have find use of this, too %#@).

3) Backgammon - they run Live Tournaments for Fun OR Money - the last is of most interest to me you know.

Shrek the Third PSP game

Yes, finally - Shrek 3 on PSP!

Shrek the Third has been in theaters, the next step is to entertain with the main character is the game that comes on PSP. The last news came like this: Shrek the Third, the video game from Activision has finally shipped to retailers of PSP games.

The game occur in The fate of Far Far Away and the characters Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, Puss-in-Boots, Artie and Sleeping Beauty are embarking on an all-new adventure to save the land from the clutches of the evil Prince Charming. This PSP game is of course based on DreamWorks Animation's highly anticipated feature film (Shrek the Third), launching across cinemas on May 18.

Kim Salzer, Vice President of Global Brand Management, Activision Publishing assures gamers that Shrek the Third will provide numerous adventures and difficult situations, encountering different characters familiar to fans of the movie series:

"Activision's Shrek the Third game captures the film's signature humor as it takes gamers on a grand journey featuring original characters and storylines created exclusively for the game," said Salzer. "Players will enjoy hours of fun and engaging gameplay as they travel through the Shrek universe in 20 action-filled levels and encounter a cast of twisted fairy tale characters such as Pinocchio, Prince Charming and a dim-witted Cyclops."

Two new playable characters from the movie have been introduced: Fiona's rebellious cousin Artie and Sleeping Beauty, her fellow fairy tale princess.

Shrek the Third has also been ported to the DS and GBA handheld systems from Nintendo, offering players unique gameplay experiences, such as wireless cooperative multiplayer gameplay through all levels with the DS, while GBA owners will be trotted to saving Far Far Away from the villainous Prince Charming.

Also, the game features a bonus sneak peek at Bee Movie Game, based on the upcoming animated feature from DreamWorks Animation which releases in November 2007.

The pricing and availability for the platforms Shrek the Third are:

- Xbox 360: $49.99
- Wii: $49.99
- PlayStation2 $39.99
- Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS $29.99
- PC $19.99

One more important thing is that Shrek the Third will get on PSP only in early June.

Shrek the Third: return of beloved characters

There are times when it a pleasure to see the return of beloved characters on the big screen. That's the case with Shrek the Third, that reunites all of our favorite characters from Far Away Land that starred in the previous installments that have made hundreds of millions of dollars around the world.

Shrek and Fiona (Mike Meyers and Cameron Diaz) are a very happy couple as they live in the castle in the land of far, far away. They are surrounded by family and their friends Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss In Boots (Antonio Banderas) who are always right beside them whether they're wanted or not.

This quiet perfect world is jolted when Fiona's father, King Frogger (John Cleese), becomes ill and is on his death bed. Before his passing, Frogger tells Shrek he must take his place on the throne unless a suitable replacement in the family is found. Shrek wants no part of being the King and he decides to set out with both Puss and Donkey to locate Cousin Artie to become the next ruler of Far Away Land. In the meantime, the underhanded Prince Charming is plotting revenge on Shrek and wants to destroy him once and for all.

Shrek the Third is a fun and enjoyable movie, and considering this is already the third installment in this franchise, there seems to be still gas in the tank. Usually by the time a third movie in any series is made, the ideas for the most part have dried up. That's not the case here as there are some big laugh-out-loud moments in the film. Myers, Diaz, Murphy and Banderas are all exceptional with their voice work here, as is newcomer Justin Timberlake.

The film moves at a very brisk pace and there is so much going on that it made me want to see it again to pick up on things I might have missed the first time I saw it. The animation is spectacular to say the least, as the movie just leaps off the screen. The music is also terrific, with some great flashback titles that fit perfectly into the movie.

Shrek the Third is fun and it is as enjoyable for the adults as it is for the kids. While it's not as good as the previous films, as sequels go this is a well made movie that will have legs at the box office, and I say let’s see the further adventures in the lives of the wonderful characters.

New Shrek The Third Game - Play "VARSITY JOUST"

As the Shrek The Third Online Game site announces, "NEW GAME RELEASED! PLAY "VARSITY JOUST"!

Principal Pynchley calls him Arthur, but just about everyone else at Worcestershire High School calls him Artie. He's a scrawny little teenager and not too popular with the other kids. If he's not getting stuffed in his locker or having his milk money stolen, he's on the jousting field serving as the varsity team's practice dummy. Ouch.

Team captain Lancelot particularly enjoys targeting Artie during practice. "Everyone doth have a role to play," Lancelot said, "And his role is...loser. Ha ha!" Most of the girls at Worcestershire agree with this assessment. One of the cheerleaders said, "Artie? Ew! Just totally ew-eth!" Even the dorks in school find Artie lame, but we couldn't get a quote from one of them that wasn't too dorky to print.

Not surprisingly, Artie isn't so happy about his lot in life, and he's looking to make a move. This bright-eyed young lad thinks that if he can make the jousting team, his fortunes will change. With tryouts are coming up, this just might be Artie's one-way ticket out of loserville.

In the new 3D game "Varsity Joust", players will have to hit a series of targets with their lance in a limited amount of time. Complete all three rounds to win the game, and to help Artie make the team. Hey, you never know...he could even end up lettering in the sport one day. (Actually, that might be taking it too far.)

Now it's time to sharpen that lance, saddle up that horse, and play "Varsity Joust"!"

About Shrek the Third

When Shrek married Fiona, the last thing he had in mind was becoming the next King. But when Shrek’s father-in-law, King Harold, suddenly croaks, that is exactly what he faces. Unless Shrek (with the help of his trusted companions Donkey and Puss In Boots) can find a suitable King for Far Far Away, the ogre could be stuck with the job. The most promising candidate, Fiona’s cousin Artie, an underachieving Medieval high school slacker, proves to be more of a challenge than they bargained for.

DreamWorks Animation S.K.G. Presents a PDI/DreamWorks Production, DreamWorks “Shrek the Third,” which is being distributed by Paramount Pictures. Directed by Chris Miller, the film features the voice talents of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Rupert Everett, Justin Timberlake, Julie Andrews, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Cheri Oteri, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amy Sedaris, John Krasinski and Ian McShane. The story is by Andrew Adamson. The screenplay is by Jeffrey Price & Peter S. Seaman and Chris Miller & Aron Warner. The film is produced by Aron Warner and co-directed by Raman Hui. The executive producers are Andrew Adamson and John H. Williams. This film is rated PG for some crude humor, suggestive content and swashbuckling action.
