Focus Home Interactive and Cyanide revealed a new game today, offering "something different" for PSP gamers. Pro Cycling/Tour de France 2007 is heading to both PC and PSP, and will offer players all the fun of ... bicycling. Yes. From the press release:"The PSP™ version is being specifically designed to take advantage of the features of Sony's® PlayStation Portable handheld system. The real-time simulation aspect of the game is enhanced and the game sets a faster pace than its PC brother. With careers lasting up to five seasons, unique gameplay modes which include time trials, sprints and optimized race lengths, Pro Cycling/Tour de France 2007 on PSP is a lean, mean portable dream. Players and cycling fans will love the 20 official teams and their star cyclists, and will experience the most thrilling Tour de France ever, available for the first time on PSP!"
While I can't personally say I'm excited, it certainly does provide something different for PSP players.

so, does it come with Ace of Attorney like games in the end? I mean, it'd be awesome if you get to defend Landis and his ridiculous claims.
or a way to smuggle legal substance to riders without getting caught, like a Ninja game
if not, then it is probably the DUMBEST game idea ever.

Woot....blood doping at ANY hotspot.

This could turn out to be a good game ... but theyl probably make a nother mediocre one lol

Nice - I'm sold.
BTW - Landis is clean; USADA, WADA, and LNDD are on a witchhunt. Read about it over at TBV (trustbut.com).
Colin @ Apr 28th 2007 8:58PM
Yep....
Ben Johnson was innocent too.

Also Barry Bonds, Never used drugs...
as for Landis, I'm sure it was because he was just too much a man ;)

Just saying.. go read the evidence fools. Or don't, just believe what you want.
Evidence is clear though. There's none.
Colin @ Apr 29th 2007 2:06PM
No more a fool than one who defends drugged up cyclists by using what they read in the news as 'evidence'. Unless you are in the inside you have no basis for your comment other than faith in Landis. Just like I have faith in Ben Johnson.
Go Cheetah.
But I digress.
Very limited market for this game so I would imagine a very limited budget was spent on its development.

I think if this game comes out this year, it will be very interesting to pick the WORST game of 07... Pocket Pool or this game (AKA, Landis circus)
oh, for those people who claims 'facts', here's what Landis quoted his mother:
"She's the one that no matter what happens, to me or to anyone else in life, she will remain unchanged," he said. "When she spoke to me, she said 'Look, tell me the truth, doesn't matter to me what it is, I'll see you the same regardless.' And I think if you saw any of her interviews on television she believes."
Well, when his own mother doesn't even believe him, why should the rest of us?

I don't the 'news' - mainstream media is the suck. Unlike other doping cases, the Landis camp has publicly released EVERY document they've received from the ADAs.
It's out there, just go read it. Or don't. Just listen to what that bitch Katie Couric and her snarky friends tell you every night on your TV; you can live a long and happy life, even in complete ignorance.

>I don't the 'news' - mainstream media is the suck.
that makes... no sense whatsoever.
and frankly, I will rejoice the day when they officially strip him of the title and ban him from competition.
I hope he won't cry. after all, he's too much a 'man', right? ;)

Was simply a typo.. Should have said 'I don't read or watch the news'.
