You've seen them on the train and on the bus. You'se seen them scratching their heads and scribbling numbers onto the newspaper. No, it's not a bunch of crazed math geeks, it's people addicted to Sudoku. Sudoku is a game created in Japan that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Many newspapers around the world have featured Sudoku puzzles, and Sudoku books continue to top bestseller lists. Well Ubisoft has just announced a new game for the PSP entitled Go! Sudoku. Go! Sudoku contains 1,000 puzzles in four single-player difficulty levels, along with many multiplayer modes. With customizable backgrounds and a hip soundtrack, Go!
