Midway Games has released its 2006 lineup of games for the PSP. Franchises represented in this lineup include Mortal Kombat, NBA Ballers, and Rush. NBA Ballers: Rebound is expected to ship this spring, Mortal Kombat: Unchained is on track for this fall, and a new, as-of-yet unnamed Rush title should be here for the holiday season.

"In 2006, Midway will begin our strong support of the PSP handheld market by bringing some of our top franchises to the system," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "All of these titles are perfect for gaming on the go, whether it's a pick-up game of NBA Ballers: Rebound, a quick race in RUSH or a fight to the death in Mortal Kombat: Unchained."
