    Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare
    While there are better games available for the console--most notably, Capcom's Resident Evil: Code Veronica--the budget price of this game is sure to please just about any gamer willing to take the plunge into this well-saturated genre.

    Shadowgrounds
    It's like Doom 3 done top-down in Shadowgrounds, a shooter with an old school sensibility but not much in the way of captivating gameplay.

    • 69 Critic Score
    Legacy of Kain: Defiance
    Unfortunately, this new presentation isn't fully realized, leading to awkward camera angles and needlessly confusing gameplay.

    Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
    Turns out to be quite shallow.

    The Watchmaker (2001)
    Fans of traditional adventure games will enjoy the puzzles and will likely be able to bear with the awful voice acting and the underdeveloped story.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Disney's Meet the Robinsons
    Disney's Meet the Robinsons is a fairly satisfying movie tie-in that borrows heavily from a number of classic adventure and action games.

    Suzuki TT Superbikes
    Though patient motorcycle-simulation fans will see past Suzuki TT Superbikes' quirks and appreciate its authenticity, many will shy away from the game's single-track format, twitchy handling, and claustrophobic environment.

    Nightcaster
    It's almost a shame that the detail put into the graphics is all but hidden by the overhead view that you're seemingly stuck with.

    Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
    Downhill Jam shifts away from the trick-heavy gameplay of old and turns Tony Hawk into a racer--and a fairly decent one at that.

    Robotech: Battlecry
    The game suffers from a number of problems that even the most ardent fans of the series will have a hard time overlooking, not the least of which are repetitive missions, sluggish controls, and empty levels.

    Platypus
    Platypus is a simplistic, short-lived shoot-'em-up with visuals and gameplay that are adequate rather than impressive.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Test Drive: Eve of Destruction
    Some sluggish racing gameplay and a lack of any real depth beyond the game's offline multiplayer component and slightly taxing career mode mar the experience enough to prevent Eve of Destruction from living up to its potential.

    Star Wars: Battlefront II
    It's got some of the console and PC versions' concepts and mechanics, but the lack of both a story-based campaign and online multiplayer sucks a lot of the fun out of this PSP shooter.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Paperboy
    If you ever cared about the arcade version of Paperboy, you'll get some nostalgic excitement from this emulation of the original.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Intellivision Lives!
    Silly music and controller headaches aside, Intellivision Lives! does a fine job of compiling a huge number of games into one package and presenting them in an easy-to-pick-up manner.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Making History: The Calm and the Storm
    Making History is an interesting, though dry, turn-based World War II strategy game.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
    The PSP version of Rainbow Six Vegas manages to condense some of the action that made the Xbox 360 version of the game so cool, but it's also very short.

    Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open
    An adequate introduction to arcade racing on the Xbox, but its lack of gameplay depth, its punishing AI, and its conservative graphics keep it from attaining greatness.
    • 54 Metascore

    NBA ShootOut 2001
    An enjoyable multiplayer basketball game, but hoops purists might find the lack of strategic play a bit disappointing.
    • 73 Metascore

    Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness
    It ultimately does what few updated classics do well, bringing new concepts to a well known game while keeping the fun and magic of the original game.

    Trade Empires
    The limited management interface, slow pacing, and subpar computer competition make the busywork of running a merchant house an unfulfilling task.

    • 68 Critic Score
    Dead to Rights II
    So if you like playing video games to release tension, and you don't care about good stories or online multiplayer modes or any of that stuff, definitely rent this one or something.

    Rocky: Legends
    The boxing mechanics, while occasionally enjoyable, become practically automatic after a couple of trips through the career mode. And while the career mode itself is cool, it could have benefited from more in the way of story.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour
    Nightmare Troubadour is marginally more successful than many of its predecessors to this end, thanks to an engaging tutorial system and the tactile advantage inherent to the Nintendo DS hardware.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony
    Throne of Agony gets the basics of a good dungeon crawler right, but an oversimplification of the gameplay and some annoying bugs drag it down.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Anarchy Online: The Notum Wars
    Anarchy Online's technical performance has improved since it was released year ago, but it's still a rather complex game that may prove intimidating for newcomers.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Evidence: The Last Ritual
    Evidence is an experimental serial-killer tale that will raise goose bumps and tempers.

    I Was an Atomic Mutant!
    It's easy to become so charmed by the game's presentation (and the game's $20 price tag) that you start to forget that somewhere in this otherwise entertaining set of features there needs to be a good game.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    NFL GameDay 2002
    [It] isn't without its flaws, and ultimately, it falls short of more robust competing products, but it is also a much-improved game with solid graphics and presentation.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    World Poker Tour
    World Poker Tour for the PSP retains many of the console versions' strengths and weaknesses, though it tosses in a few more weaknesses of its own.
