    LocoRoco
    Despite the lackluster gameplay, Loco Roco does have one thing going for it: charm. The flash-looking graphics are extremely impressive in art design and from a technological standpoint as the visuals just look incredible on the PSP screen. [JPN Import]

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
    Another solid amazing effort in the Marvel Universe.

    Condemned: Criminal Origins
    It’s a well constructed game that lacks in the gameplay department. The atmosphere and story presentation alone garner a rental but the length and fighting make it nothing more than a rental.

    Hot Shots Tennis
    It’s a solid if shallow title that lacks in content and difficulty but has a really well implemented engine.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
    While Geometry Wars is simple in nature, it’s definitely a well thought out and executed puzzle shooter that fans of Asteroids and other 80s classics will enjoy.

    Sonic and the Secret Rings
    Sonic Team has taken Sonic, put him on rails, added a ton of variety, and made something that is definitely worth a rental. Some might find it too short to be a purchase, while others may just enjoy playing the levels over and over again with different setups in order to unlock the many goals available.

    SimCity DS
    It's good to have Sim City available when you’re on the move and if you ever want to go back to the game in the distant future, you don’t have to install the game again and deal with compatibility issues! [JPN Import]

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
    Another solid amazing effort in the Marvel Universe.

    LifeSigns: Surgical Unit
    Medical students, or those interested in the medical field, will be interested in this rendition of hospital life as opposed to the fictional storyline from Trauma Center. [JPN Import]
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hotel Dusk: Room 215
    If you like interactive adventure games, noir murder mysteries, and the unique capabilities of the DS then this is a no-brainer purchase.

    Wario: Master of Disguise
    Due to a few gameplay hiccups here and there and some rather boring gameplay in other spots Wario doesn’t quite approach greatness. It’s a good fun diversion for those who like the platformer/puzzle/Metroid hybrid but all others can probably skip it. [JPN Import]

    Children of Mana
    Despite some iffy controls, as a dungeon-crawler CoM provides a fairly enjoyable way to kill numerous hours on the go. The nice graphics and really nice music help to smooth out a game that otherwise is a little bit stale. [JPN Import]

    Feel the Magic: XY/XX
    Another cracker from Sonic Team. Embrace and remember – “Rub Is Love”! [JPN Import]

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi
    The programmers used music from the anime and TV series but it’s a shame that some tunes didn’t make it in. The addition of English and Japanese voiceovers makes the experience great for the fans.

    SBK: Snowboard Kids
    Although it has annoying voices, the gameplay is top-notch and the game is just really fun to play. It also offers many unlockables and modes to keep you coming for more.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Need for Speed: Carbon
    A great addition to the series for fans and probably a decent rental for most. While things have been upgraded and new elements added on, it’s still NFS and it still gets repetitive and boring after awhile. It’s like EA’s "Madden" of racing.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
    Brain Age is truly a pseudo game. It’s Wario Ware meets Tamagotchi meets further education. If you want to give your brain a workout and get a fun number puzzle game to boot then picking up Brain Age is a no brainer.

    Clubhouse Games
    It’s a great collection and with single player objectives and online capabilities it’s one to own.

    Gradius Collection
    With five mostly top-notch shooters all in one set ready to be played on the go (with a great save feature to boot), Gradius Portable is an excellent game for those looking for their shooting action in both short bursts and long hauls. For fans of the genre, the game is worth every penny. [JPN Import]

    Big Brain Academy
    Competitive people will be glued to this game for hours; some of the more advanced stages are very challenging, with the added bonus of keeping your brain in tip-top shape. [JPN Import]

    The Godfather: Blackhand Edition
    While the graphics fit the Wii version a lot better than the 360 or PS3 versions, the controls aren’t really worth the purchase.

    Perfect Dark Zero
    If they had released this one for the original XBOX it might have been much more acceptable but as it’s a launch title for the 360 I can’t help but feel it’s not worth your money.

    Need for Speed Carbon
    A great addition to the series for fans and probably a decent rental for most. While things have been upgraded and new elements added on, it’s still NFS and it still gets repetitive and boring after awhile. It’s like EA's "Madden" of racing.

    God Hand
    The sound is truly what sets it apart from the rest. From the crazy background sounds you get after some Techniques, to the insanely hilarious dialogue you get in cutscenes, the sound is what kept me going until the end. [JPN Import]
    • 68 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team DS
    The game itself isn’t the best in the series, but it’s not too bad really.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Metroid Prime: Hunters
    A decent FPS single player game with an excellent online component.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Lunar: Dragon Song
    It’s a fun game, but some of the flaws such as the weird battle system and HP loss while running could ruin the experience for you.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Valhalla Knights
    One thing that I must warn people about is that this games difficulty level at starting is rather high, with the amount of damage the monsters can do.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Virtua Tennis 3
    If you want a taste of the same old Virtua Tennis or have yet to experience the best Tennis game mechanics ever created, then youll be fine with VT3. Although if youre a veteran of the series this is a rental at best. [JPN Import]
    • 63 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Raw Danger!
    The best playable disaster game you can get (though there isn’t much competition out there). Running through a city while trying to stay warm and alive presents some of the best thrills you can find in on the PS2. It’s not a perfect game by any means, and hopefully they’ll iron out the framerate issues by the time the series goes next-gen, but for those who liked the original or are just looking for a good disaster game, ZZ2 is it.
