Lend me an ear, ye landlubbin' scallywags! Avast, a cold wind be blowin' down from 2K Games, and it be carryin' the whiff of somethin' piratey, aye... somethin' piratey and simulatory as well, and I ain't talkin' about no huffin an' puffin PC title, no - nor some thin-blooded console sim, neither! No, me hearties, what I be sniffin' smells like nothin' other than a port (not the other side o' starboard, ye dimwits, I mean the gamin' kinda port!) o' Sid Meier's Pirates! An' it be out now, boys, tryin' its damnedest to get its piratey, simulatory self onto yer PSP!

Aye, 'tis true! 2K Games announced today the availability of Sid Meier's Pirates!, updated and optimized for handheld play on the PSP. While this may not be the first time something piratey has appeared on a PSP near you, it may be the first time that piratey something was not, in fact, pirated software or somesuch. Well, an' maybe not the first o' that, neither, but still! Them's good pirates!

I ne'er heard o' no Captain Sid Meier, but his crew put out sommat called a "press release" this very morn, an' here be what it said. The good bits, anyhow; them what tell ye what the game'll do to ye:

  • Wireless Multiplayer – Up to four players can play simultaneously using the Wi-Fi capabilities of the PSP, each with their own dedicated screen using additional multiplayer maps.

  • Treasure Hunt – Players will navigate ships around the beautiful islands of the Caribbean on their quest to discover pirate treasure, lost relatives, and Incan cities.

  • Stealth/Sneaking – Using a 3D tile-based environment, players move one square at a time around a large grid of buildings to hide for cover and fight with guards in the town.

  • Land and Sea Battles – Engage in fierce naval battles, against both single vessels and multi-ship convoys. Harrowing action sequences on ship decks include swinging from yard arms, slashing down sails, and clobbering enemy crew as players make their way to the enemy captain.

  • Dancing – Learn to perform a series of intricate steps in this overhauled and improved feature and dance your way into the Governor's daughter's heart. Besides companionship, she could be a wealth of information or have access to a stash of special items.

  • Accessible User Interface – The menus and user interface are optimized for use on a portable device. The widescreen display is fully utilized and the controls available on the unit are used to their maximum potential for smooth navigation.

  • Sid Meier’s Pirates! for the PSP system is rated E10+ and is available for $29.99. For more information on Sid Meier’s Pirates! visit www.2kgames.com/pirates/psp/.
  • Ye know ye want it, me wenches, laddies, and them what don't fit into no traditional category! An' if ye can't find it, go ahead an' ask our very own Pirate Prince. He'll know what to do!
