Personally, it works for me as there’s just something about see enemy legions running down a hill side in formation and then charging into battle.

This title’s one saving grace is its 20 dollar price tag, but even at 20 dollars I’d still rather walk the plank then play this game.

The game itself does a good job of masking the appearance of the field, maintaining an illusion of 3D, and keeping the graphics consistent.

With a bit more beefed up graphics and a major fix on the controls it would have been a must buy, still, there is an awful lot of fun to be had playing Darkstar One.

The presentation of Dead Rising is close to being the best I’ve ever seen. Massive amounts of zombies, store shelves that are completely stocked with goods (the supermarket is especially impressive), and a creepy soundtrack frames the game well.

You will find yourself fighting the controls never really finding a comfort zone. Once you manage to work within the limitations of the controller, you will find the second exception. The online play is a bit laggy and unstable.

If the game controlled better, and didn't fall victim to one of the most annoying problems that racing games can face, it might be worth it. For me, however, I'll be going elsewhere.

It is easily the best fighting game to ever be released on handheld and is every bit as enjoyable as its console and arcade counterparts.

There's not a whole lot you couldn't live without if you stayed with the original and passed on the upgrade. However, those enhancements and fixes combined with the elaborate, well-researched and intriguing scenarios just manage to put this sub-product over the top.

Sadly, its similarity to earlier titles and it's somewhat mechanical game play, this one gets a Fans Only for fans of city sims and fans of all things ancient or ancient Roman.

It’s simply another in a long line of cookie cutter games that won’t really add anything to your collection.

There are games that stand out, and then there are games that are just good. Painkiller doesn't really break any new ground, but it presents an experience that was satisfying throughout.

Common and uninteresting, this game stands out only in that one of the factions eerily like Cylons from Battlestar Galactica.

Overall, this is my favorite Arcade game for the simple fact it is original. The humor, graphics, puzzles and challenge level all feel great.

The story feels like it’s over before it really has a chance to get going. Most players will finish the game in about 7 hours.

On its own merits Valkyrie Profile is easy to recommend, but given the relative lack of high quality RPG’s on the PSP, it’s a definite must buy.

With great multiplayer (I mean, it’s a sports game, so it figures), and a wealth of different gameplay options, this is a title that should keep you entertained for a good long while.

The problem is, most games of this type offer a significant price break, something that seems to be missing from this game.

I can sum this up with one tired phrase. Been there, done that. There’s a little bit here that’s new, and the game looks great (and just like "Doom 3"), but this is really just covering the same old ground.

Prey offers solid FPS action with enough new elements to keep things interesting. As with most FPSs these days, the real action in online and Prey won’t disappoint here either.

The combat needed to be tons better to be really enjoyable.

Stay away from this game! It might have the voice of Johnny Depp, but it’s got the looks of something that crawled out of Godzilla’s throat, and the personality to match.

It is best played in short doses because of its inability to hold the average player’s attention for no longer then 30 or 40 minutes at a stretch.

Using Greek mythology as its base, Titan’s Quest takes a solid, balanced, and low risk gameplay approach. Although it’s not going to redefine a game genre, RPG fans will be more then satisfied.

An excellent first attempt. There are a number of tweaks that will improve the gameplay if it’s turned into a series and it has plenty of potential.

A solid game with a slightly underachieving AI.

The only thing I can say in particular is that I love the addition of Gem Fighter.

This is the Dynasty Warriors of mech games, and much like how that franchise is solidly enjoyable, so goes Armored Core.
