    Nightshade
    I still believe that there'll be a faction of pansy gamers, weaned on infinite continues, save points and GameSharks, that bitch and moan about how hard the game is and fail to appreciate it as a result. That's lame, really, because even if Nightshade doesn't do enough to fix everything that was wrong with Shinobi, it's still easily one of the top action titles on PS2.

    Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade
    An enjoyable, if heavily formulaic, RPG to get the PSP life cycle kicked off.

    Gungrave: Overdose
    Occasional jankiness is made up for by a ridiculously low price and copious shooter goodness.

    Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None
    A better word for the new story might be laughable. I understand the rationale behind the change, but the ending is ridiculous. Thankfully the book’s ending is included, so you can see what really should have happened.

    Outlaw Tennis
    More of the same for the franchise - a solid game, with an inspired (if a bit overdone) presentation.

    Disney's Chicken Little
    If you keep in mind that this is aimed at a younger audience, even an older gamer, particularly a parent sharing the experience with a child, can find a lot to enjoy.

    R: Racing Evolution
    Give it a rent if you're interested, but I'd recommend just renting an old "Ridge Racer" and having a blast with the past--or get another new, better racing game.

    The Urbz: Sims in the City
    Definitely worth a look for fans of the series and newcomers alike, but there are better choices out there.

    Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
    This is simply too flawed a title to recommend for purchase, especially in light of the competition, but it's a fantastic guilty pleasure.

    Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
    It's an awkward position to be in for a game that's not bad - just not as good as it could have been.

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2
    The sequel raises the bar in the amount of things included, but the awkward use of Dragon Worlds and the Story Mode, not to mention the choppy and average fighting engine, makes this game a fan-only affair.

    RC Cars
    Since there's no way to rent PC games, most will want to pass on this and just buy an RC car instead. Good try, but next time, less physics and more fun.

    Onimusha Blade Warriors
    Capcom may be good at 2D fighters, but when going to 3D, controls matter all the more.

    NHL Rivals 2004
    "NHL 2004" and "ESPN NHL Hockey" are still the cream of the crop, but don't be surprised to see NHL Rivals join them in another year or three.

    Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain
    Cooperative multiplayer and the basic gunplay thrills don't quite make up for bad control and ugly graphics.

    Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge
    I really wanted to like Oogie’s Revenge more than I did. The Soul Robber was fun to use, and the game did a great job of recreating Tim Burton’s vision. However, the constant backtracking, poor camera, and repetition make it hard to justify anything more than a rental.

    Onimusha Tactics
    A soulless cash-in. Every aspect of the game seems hostile to anyone intending to actually play the game. The story is mediocre, the interface is obtuse, the combat is oversimplified and there's little to do or find.

    Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
    Apes the best parts of "Dark Alliance" without much innovation.

    King of Fighters: Maximum Impact
    It's got all the bad hair and pretty boys, but none of the fighting soul.

    Wrath Unleashed
    Some very interesting ideas are buried under a tide of sloppy coding and bad game design.

    Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu
    Ironically, Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu has more extras than many superior games. This title is absolutely stacked; it’s just a shame you won’t want to play for as long as the game could theoretically last.

    ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails
    Hopefully if Climax releases another PSP version, they work the kinks out, because this one needs some polish.

    Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3
    If you liked the previous games in the franchise, leap on this one. All others, approach with caution.

    NBA 06
    Even a little sprucing up on the presentation front doesn’t change the insurmountable gameplay problems that make their NBA 06 particularly sour.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    PlanetSide: Core Combat
    The game brought nothing really useful to PlanetSide, and all of the issues that needed to be dealt with were not. SOE continues to willingly avoid those issues...One of the poorest choices on the gaming market to buy.

    Gangland
    Despite the small cracks in just about every gameplay function of the game, Gangland still manages to be addictive fun.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu
    Perhaps the biggest change is the smooth, clear graphics.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Drakengard
    Right now it’s average in quality, and what should be amusing feels like a chore. It’s hard to make dragons unexciting, but somehow Drakengard manages to do it.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    SimCity 2000
    Despite the technical limitations, SimCity 2000 remains an enjoyable, challenging way to pass the time. It isn't the direct conversion I'd hoped for, but for twenty bucks, it's plenty sufficient to the task.
    • 62 Metascore

    Lords of EverQuest
    This would be an OK title worthy of rental (if such a thing were possible for PC), but Warcraft III still blows the game away. Get that instead.
