Codemasters has announced a version of its cricket video game, Brian Lara Cricket, for the PSP. Called Brian Lara 2007 Pressure Play, its expected to be released later this summer.

Being specifically designed for PSP gaming, Pressure Play has an emphasis on new burst-play cricket challenges perfect for the portable format.

New elements include the Pressure Play Mission Mode where you progress from easy 'bowl a maiden over' challenges for the beginner to more difficult 'one-ball-left-to-win' scenarios, with a total of 16 missions to master ranging from Knowledge, Winners, Classic Matches, Masters and more off the wall 'Googly' challenges.

The game also features a full ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 mode, complete with 16 licensed international teams with official kits, 240 licensed international players.

Of course one of the things we love about the PSP is its wireless multiplayer abilities, so this doesnt look set to disappoint as it comes with an ad-hoc Multiplayer mode in which 2 players can compete wirelessly in a one-on-one ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 match.

Also, as we're talking 'bout sporty titles on the PSP, there's some free Burnout tracks on their way. Why not check them out?
