    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
    The fancy technology powering the experience is impressive, as is the performance by actors who lent their voices and likenesses to the game's pivotal characters. That's mixed with rote game mechanics -- hack, slash, fight big boss, level ends -- that can easily grow tiresome, and a leveling up system that's more distraction than a way to create a customized character.

    Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
    Thanks to a gripping story, furious gunplay and cool multiplayer, Call of Juarez makes for a smart rental.

    Custom Robo Arena
    A likable (if not quite memorable) game for the Nintendo DS. The presentation could've use a little sprucing up and some parts of the story stretch on for way too long (such as the school segments).

    EA Playground
    It may not contain the addictive "party" element of Nintendo's Wii Sports, but this Playground isn't a bad place for kids and their parents to hang out.

    Madden NFL 08
    Although the game doesn't go the extra mile like other current-generation versions on store shelves, Madden NFL 08 still provides a solid game of football.

    Sega Superstars Tennis
    We love the online play, Superstar moves and homage to Sega games like Sonic, The House of the Dead, Samba de Amigo and Jet Set Radio. It's fan service all the way. But the lack of a World Tour mode and ease of difficulty cripples the game's long-term appeal.

    Cooking Mama
    It's not cool getting all the way to the end of a dish and losing because of some tech failure. But for the most part, things work quite well, and Cooking Mama is a steal at $19.99.

    Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
    Blurry textures, an average story and Peter Parker's voice gets on our nerves, but overall, Web of Shadows is a cool Spider-Man adventure and much better than the horrid "Spider-Man 3."

    1701 A.D.
    Although 1701 A.D. doesn't feature any new gameplay concepts, it remains a solid economic strategy game that's easy enough for most players to pick up and get sucked into.

    Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
    Play at your own pace and forgive the technical quirks, though, and you'll appreciate this game for what it is.

    Wheelman
    Packed with high-speed chases, car combat (you can bump rivals into walls) and ridiculous explosions, the game's still far from perfect. Sloppy looking characters, excessive loading and average on-foot shooting keep it several steps behind the competition. As a rental, however, Wheelman offers some decent thrills.

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner
    This is worth picking up even if you're not attractive.

    Prince of Persia Rival Swords
    The graphics look very good on the PSP, particularly with the enormous level layouts and smooth animations of the Prince and his dark side. However, the game has bugs, the most notable being flickering and poor looking textures. The audio has its problems as well.

    Prism: Light the Way
    The puzzles are creative, but quickly grow repetitive. More so, Prism's presentation seems to have gotten very little love from the developers, and players can expect to see the same relatively dark visuals throughout the entire game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Overlord: Dark Legend
    Dark Legend attractive visuals often force the action to chug, an overabundance of minions makes the game far too easy and at times incompetent artificial intelligence forces you to reissue the same commands to brain dead minions. If you can deal with those issues, then you'll probably enjoy this dark and destructive adventure.

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
    The graphics look OK, although clumsy camera issues hinder gameplay.

    LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
    This is great, but expect repetitive block smashing and item collecting that, in this third LEGO game, has overstayed its welcome.
    • 76 Metascore

    SingStar Amped
    The game lacks a hardcore presentation to go with the theme, but that's only a small issue, since this is definitely the best SingStar to date.

    Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus
    With new characters, maps and modes, along with the ability to play against players who still play the original, there is plenty to enjoy assuming you like the first game.

    Master of Illusion
    With tricks that'll have even the greatest magicians scratching their heads and demanding the DS for their own, Master of Illusion is a great way to add a little magic to your life.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Hot Shots Tennis
    The game doesn't boast a lot of depth, and it does not contain the same flair that its sister games have, but it still presents polished gameplay and plenty of replay value, so long as friends want to join in for some multiplayer sessions.
    • 61 Metascore

    Fatal Inertia
    While not everything works well (particularly the small tracks and the insanely difficult artificial intelligence), it is better than expected. The graphics look very good, especially the water effects.

    Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
    The run-in combos take some momentum out of the game, and some characters are unquestionably lame (cough Stryker cough), but this game still knows how to pack a bloody uppercut. Finish him!
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Wolfenstein
    If anything, multiplayer feels tacked on. Ultimately, Wolfenstein is a decent shooter full of explosions, machine guns and plenty of drama. Just don't expect it to wow you.

    Scene It? Bright Lights! Big Screen!
    On top of that, the game looks horrendous, with primitive computer generated cut scenes (hello 1998) and one of the lamest backgrounds we've seen.

    Afro Samurai
    The luscious graphics do bring out the finer qualities of the anime, complete with striking water-brushed backdrops and fluid animation. It's a shame the camera constantly needs to be adjusted, though.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    DK: Jungle Climber
    We don't like the story, save for the talking banana aliens (fo fanana), and the whole peg grabbing stuff doesn't light our fire, but Jungle Climber is a cute, simplistic adventure game that anyone can get into, and the addition of four person multiplayer adds to its banana eating appeal.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest
    The graphics look decent (despite some broken animations), and the game allows players to smash both Orcs and Hobbits. That said, the mindless button mashing grows redundant and some enemies are mind-numbingly difficult.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
    The PSP's inability to match the functionality of the PlayStation 2's Dual Shock controller causes some problems and the degree of control accomplished by developer Kojima Productions under the circumstances speaks volumes of their expertise, but the results aren't perfect.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kung Fu Panda
    The multiplayer modes aren't bad, but you have to unlock most of them and they're strictly off-line.
