    PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient
    PQ is a great addition to the PSP library but falls flat on replay value. It’s unique enough to merit everyone to at least play it once.

    The Sims 2
    If you've played The Sims before, there’s nothing here that will grab you by the short hairs and make you take notice.

    Thief: Deadly Shadows
    Those who loved previous Thief games will equally enjoy the latest title, though it is by no means innovative.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Raze's Hell
    It's obvious that Razes Hell is a budget title, but it's also obvious that Artech has done some really good things here.

    From Russia With Love
    Game play can become repetitive quickly, so only those who dream of joining Her Majesty’s Secret Service, or implicitly trust the quality of EA games need apply.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Heatseeker
    The product as a whole feels uneven and rather low-bugetish, but as promised it delivers aerial combat which is both exhilerating and explosive.

    Generation of Chaos
    All positives are undone by nasty technical problems like huge load times, slower than snail mail gameplay, and a story that wouldn’t hold the attention of a lobotomized bag lady.

    Madagascar: Operation Penguin
    Offers witty dialogue to keep the story moving along and has some replay value. Young gamers who are fans of the movie may enjoy this one.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Brave Story: New Traveler
    Brave Story isn’t for everyone. The storyline drags along at a snails pace and the lack of customization options doesn’t benefit the replay value.

    NASCAR 08
    NASCAR '08 is not a bad game in any sense of the term, but neither is it fantastic. If you're a racing fan or a NASCAR fan there's stuff to like here and even if you don't care for NASCAR itself it's still a competent ride.

    WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
    The Cube version lacks innovation, is disappointing and is almost a complete copy of the GBA version.

    Point Blank DS
    One player will have fun with this for a week and then realize they need to find some friends.

    Ape Escape: On the Loose
    The controls were not perfectly translated to the PSP, and the loading times are just too much of an annoyance. These factors make the game much less appealing than it otherwise would be.

    Lionel Trains On Track
    Lionel Trains: On Track is a fun on-the-go sim that will keep you entertained and has a good degree of replay value. It doesn't have the best graphics or sound, but pick it up if it's cheap.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 1989 Classic Arcade
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may be worth a look for fans of the franchise or those who played this baby in the arcades all those years ago, but many modern gamers will be turned off by the ugly graphics and repetitive gameplay.

    Showdown: Legends of Wrestling
    The best of the Legends bunch, but Showdown – a title packed with potential – is a disappointing letdown.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Champions: Return to Arms
    A mediocre follow-up to the original Champions of Norrath. Good, but not $50 worth of good.
    • 79 Metascore

    MTX Mototrax
    A good motocross game that qualifies as a rental for everyone, and a purchase for those that truly love the sport of dirt bike racing.

    Pac-Pix
    On a fundamental level, there is nothing wrong with Pac-Pix. Where it falls apart is just the fact that it doesn’t provide enough substance. It feels like exactly what it is – a stretched-out tech demo.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare
    Mutant Nightmare isn't going to blow anyone away, but it can provide a bit of entertaining ninja action when you just need something to occupy your time.

    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
    For a full game, Prologue is lacking very highly. Yet for its lower price, and the knowledge that it isn't the full game and is only a taste of what's to come, we're left embittered and wanting more, better, and sooner.

    Destruction Derby Arenas
    The real draw is online play, and friends will have a blast ramming each other into the walls.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    The newest in the Splinter Cell series is a fairly solid game, but lacks a bit of polish, and won't appeal to everyone.

    Arkanoid DS
    A decent casual title, as long as you don't go expecting another Tetris DS. Ideal for puzzle fans.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Link's Crossbow Training
    Not a full game, but nonetheless surprisingly polished and only costs $20 with the Wii Zapper.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Helix
    Helix has the potential to be a better title in future incarnations, but for now you’ll just have to enjoy the music and dance to the beat of your own drummer. Get it for the music!
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gungrave: Overdose
    A lot of style with very little substance makes Grave a dull boy.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Puzzle Guzzle
    Puzzle Guzzle is weird, but it’s a feature-packed bargain at 20 bucks. If you’re a fan of puzzle games, it’s worth the money despite its oddball quirks.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Armored Core 4
    Targeted towards fans and hardcore gamers, Armored Core 4 does well what it sets out to do, yet may leave casual gamers looking for something else.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Battlefront
    The bottom line is that Battlefront is an A-list rental; great for a weekend of Star Wars geekery with a bunch of friends, offering solid fun for the first four or five hours. After that, well, to impersonate Yoda: whether or not to own it you will want, only the future will tell.
