    Nano Assault
    So if you love a fun and challenging shooter with a clever mix of styles and a killer assortment of boss battles then Nano Assault is definitely worth checking out. While 32 levels might sound like a lot, they are surprisingly short and fast, and competent gamers can blast their way through the Story Mode in 3-4 hours, but with the endless appeal of Arcade and Boss Rush modes there is enough addictive old-school arcade goodness to keep coming back for more microscopic carnage time and time again.

    Manhunt
    If you enjoy slow, strategic, stealth gameplay, if you've hacked your way through the most violent games available and still want more blood and sick, twisted, violence then look no further. You won’t find a more stylish or disturbing game than this.

    Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
    I would recommend Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs to just about anyone looking for a totally fun and moderately challenging gameplay experience with all of the flavor and style of the Ice Age movies.

    SiN Episodes: Emergence
    I wasn’t much a fan of episodic content before this game. I didn’t think they could include enough to warrant a $20 price tag but SiN Episodes: Emergence has gone a long way towards disproving that assumption.

    Mafia II
    Mafia II is a fulfilling mob tale, and you will want to play it to the end. Just don't say I didn't warn you about the finale.

    Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
    Heavy on action and ramping the difficulty to new heights, Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is one of the best flight combat games you can play on the PS2.

    Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile
    Despite some minor flaws and an occasional frustrating bug (that will hopefully be resolved in a patch), Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile keeps many of the classic elements of city-building strategy that made its predecessors so much fun to play, and innovates in ways which make the game much more interesting and involving.

    Elebits
    After a 15-20 minute learning curve anyone of any age will feel right at home navigating the numerous screens and manipulating objects and collecting hundreds of Elebits.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011
    The lack of many big name legends is a shortcoming, but the massive amount of customization options and user created content will keep any fan playing for months.

    The Sims 2: Celebration Stuff
    For those who really enjoy the new items and outfits, though, and especially for players who tend to stick to Maxis-released items just to play it safe, The Sims 2: Celebration Stuff can add a lot of much-needed flavor to your Sims’ social events.

    Frontlines: Fuel of War
    So, if you are a gamer who loves FPS games, tactics and class-driven gameplay, or are just looking for the next bigger and better Battlefield, or if you’ve been looking for the ultimate Xbox Live online experience, then you’ll definitely want to enlist in Frontlines and help save America from the Red Star Alliance.

    Dark Age of Camelot: Trials of Atlantis
    The sheer scope of the expansion is impressive as the development team desired to not only add new areas and items, but to change and update the way DAoC itself can be played.

    Front Mission 4
    A virtual mech wonderland, full of potential for experimentation, both in configuration and strategy. It will have a certain appeal for its target audience, but everyone else might want to take their Wanzer for a test drive before dropping $50 to put one in their PS2 garage permanently.

    Archer Maclean's Mercury
    With all of its original game design, multiple game modes, and creative level design, Mercury just oozes with style, and is a must own title for anyone with a PSP who enjoys a game that challenges your mind and your reflexes.

    Me & My Katamari
    Combine addictive gameplay with fun, colorful graphics and a wacky soundtrack and you have a recipe for a good time – even if it has all been done before.

    • 92 Critic Score
    I-Ninja
    I-Ninja just oozes with a perfect blend of charm, humor, and visual quality that has been long overdue in a platform game. A definite must-own title.

    All-Star Baseball 2005
    ASB 2005 is for serious baseball enthusiasts only. Those looking for a casual day at the ballpark should probably check out the titles from EA, 989, or ESPN.

    The Sims 2
    The dynamic gameplay, wealth of replay-value and solid presentation, make for a worthy experience.

    Culdcept Saga
    This game will require a lot of patience to play and master.

    The Sims 2
    If you've already got this game for the PC or even have had your fill of the earlier games in this series, The Sims 2 might not offer enough new to really get you excited about it.

    Scarface: The World Is Yours
    I am truly amazed at the range of scores Scarface: The World is Yours has been getting. I’m guessing the low scores are coming from people who are either rushing through the game or have no prior knowledge of Tony Montana and the movie that inspired the game.

    Quake 4
    QUAKE 4 is an addiction, a perfect sequel, both in story and gameplay, and a game you will want to explore over and over, if for no other reason that to keep piling on those Gamer Points.

    Dead Head Fred
    Dead Head Fred is one of my top favorite PSP games of the year. I haven’t had this much fun with a corpse since that frat party back in…err…I mean since Stubbs on the Xbox.

    DreamWorks Kung Fu Panda
    The story was fresh, funny, and original, the characters where delightfully designed and animated, and professional voiced, and the entire game was a pure delight to play from start to finish. I'm already well on my way through my second pass as I aspire to become a Master Ninja.

    Transformers
    Gorgeous, fun, challenging, and offers a unique blend of gameplay that tailors itself to the type of gamer, even while they are playing. As an action game, you won’t find anything even close to this on the PS2.

    Metal Gear Acid
    Packing in all the strategy of chess and infused with the goodness that is Metal Gear, this could be the sleeper hit of the PSP.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
    El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is a linear action-brawler, and at some basic levels of design no more ambitious than your standard God of War game.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Bard's Tale
    It's not as epic as "KOTOR" and your karma-building decisions aren't as crucial to the gameplay, but this game packs in more humor and charm than anything I can remember.

    Hector: Badge of Carnage - Episode 1: We Negotiate With Terrorists

    Green Day: Rock Band
    I'm not a hater, but I'm certainly not a Green Day groupie, so much of what little charm this game has to offer is completely lost on me. If you followed the band around while they were touring and still wear their T-shirts then by all means, add two points to my score and go grab this game and rock out.
