Street Fighter X Tekken (PSP)

Street Fighter X Tekken is not going to win any awards for innovation on the Vita but it is still an impressive port. They managed to pack a console-sized game onto a handheld without compromising either gameplay or graphics. What you end up with is an...

Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time (PSP)

The battle system in Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time isn't really at fault here, it's the numbers game behind it that seems to be rigged in the computer's favor that makes playing this game a chore. The slow story pacing will also require a lot of...

Dissidia 012 Final (PSP)

When you first start playing Dissidia 012 Duodecim: Final Fantasy (a mouthful, that title), you might be struck by how little progress has been made since the first Dissidia fighting/role-playing hybrid was released. If you give it time, however,...

The original Little Big Planet on the PlayStation 3 boasted so many novel ideas that even though this new PSP game has made some concessions, it's still a great game. Sony's Cambridge Studio has managed to re-create the gameplay of the Media...

Instead, Modnation Racers: Road Trip gets caught up in the huge pile of crap it's trying to hand you. Despite the well-executed customization suite and some entertaining gameplay, it feels like too many good ideas were buried under mountains and...

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (PSP)

At first glance, Chinatown Wars could be mistaken for a return to the Grand Theft Auto series' humble 2D beginnings. The action is viewed from a more or less top-down perspective, and of course you still spend much of your time driving stolen cars and...
