Hexyz Force (PSP)

When your job is to determine the fate of the world, it's important that your companions and your swordplay are able to back you up. The strength of Hexyz Force is a battle system that lets you be both impulsive and strategic, smiting your foes...

Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier (PSP)

Regardless, The Lost Frontier is ample demonstration that Jak and Dax still have the charm to carry an epic platform adventure. If there’s any justice in the world it’ll convince Naughty Dog (the series' creator) to start work on a PS3 adventure.

Toy Story 3 (PSP)

The thing that kinda gets to me is that once you finish 20 something levels of pratically the same thing, there's only a few bonuses which keeps the game brief. However I did like the fact that I got to play as Buzz in his mini game, but I don't like...

LocoRoco Midnight Carnival (PSP)

Oddly, and perhaps this has a lot to do with the game’s sound and visuals, such grievances don’t completely detract from your enjoyment. On the whole, this is a shorter, less successful and considerably more hardcore experience. But damn it, it’s still...

Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines (PSP)

Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines doesn't get it. On the surface, it offers many of the features you'd want from an Assassin's Creed game on the PSP. It puts you in control of Altair, the first game's nimble protagonist, and sends you on a mission to...

Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble (PSP)

High school can be a difficult time. On top of things like homework, attempts at romance, and just trying to sort out who you are and what you want to do with your life, you also need to prove that you're the best fighter in the country. It's a lot for...

Invizimals : The Lost Tribes (PSP)

When we reviewed inviZimals: Shadow Zone it seemed little more than a Pokémon knock-off on initial inspection, but we found ourselves smitten with the technology used for its unique augmented reality experience and the cheesy acting in the live action...

EyePet Adventures (PSP)

In much the same way as white grapes are in fact green, EyePet Adventures is something of a misnomer for the little furry guys' fourth outing. It's really a shame that despite the strong design of the creatures themselves, there is yet to be a game...

Final Fantasy Tactics The War Of The Lions (PSP)

While some games don't withstand the test of time, others, like the commonly praised Final Fantasy Tactics, exist in a state of pristine stasis: never changing, yet standing proud at the head of the class, and rarely bested by legions of pretenders to...

LittleBigPlanet (PSP)

Next there is the clothes, I was amazed at how much you start out  with. They also made plenty, they did quite resemble the PS3 costumes. I think what will be interesting will be the DLC clothes. I reserved the game and got the Motorstorm, Uncharted 2...

Burnout Legends (PSP)

Driving games happen to be the genre the PSP is wealthiest in, but that didn't stop EA and developer Criterion's Burnout Legends from coming in and smoking the competition. Burnout Legends is almost like something of a greatest hits collection,...

Everybody's Golf 2 (PSP)

Everybody's Golf 2 is a pure joy. There are very few golf games out there that make a good shot feel so rewarding, and probably none that are so accessible to hardcore gamers, casual gamers, and golf fans alike. While it may be very similar to its...

Replay value is limited, aside from the higher difficulties. These increased challenges do depend on the player liking the game though. The gameplay mechanics change, so they are worth playing. Once you finish everything (which I can't see myself...

The RPG genre has come under a fair bit of scrutiny this past year, with most of them simply failing to excite. Whether it be a lack of ideas, a bland storyline or cumbersome combat, this recent slew of mediocre titles has not given gamers much...

The last PSP version of Midnight Club, Dub Edition, was plagued with frame rate problems, insanely long load times, and hammy acting during its crummy story bits. The only issue that remains in its newly released sequel, LA Remix, is the duration of...
