As far as side-scrolling shooters go, Platypus for the PSP doesn’t stray from the traditional 2D shooters of yesteryear but it still manages to be forgettable experience hardly worth buying.

If you want to jump in with the current "300-craze" and play it your way - this will sate your cravings with no regrets. However, if you have a shelf of BC themed RPG titles, you won't feel like you have anything new.

Sure its street soccer but FIFA Street just feels too flawed to be the edgy, no-holds barred soccer game we all hoped it would be.

SEGA Bass Fishing can still provide some mild entertainment, even if it is basically a Dreamcast game with Wii controls. Despite its fair share of flaws, it’s the best currently available fishing game on Wii.

The story in Rule of Rose is an amazingly twisted macabre tale that you won’t find on a daily basis in your local game store. Unfortunately, the design team appears to have been so focused on the story part of the game that they forget to actually put a game in it.

As blood splashes on the ground, walls, on Taylor's body and even on the screen, Splatterhouse shows that not all video games have to take the route of melodramas. It's simple. It's fun. Most importantly, it does its job at giving action fans a fantastic romp through a violent backdrop. It also helps that the soundtrack chosen is right out of a metalhead's dreams.

This Party simply doesn't have the substance to hold up.

Your characters move like drunken sailors while they explore. The game is surprisingly lengthy in a good way.

A new twist on an old favorite. Its graphical elements are engaging, and the player interface is familiar. This is a solid title.

A good strategy game doesn't depend on graphics like some games, but instead needs depth of play that engrosses players for hours without micromanaging them to death.

It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better and a lot less glitchy than a ton of other racers out there that I have played. After you get used to the controls it’s a lot of fun.

While the gameplay may leave something to be desired, much of the talent from the TV show, be it voice, writing or otherwise, has ported over to work on the game, giving the game all the wit, humor and feel of the fantastic TV show.

The graphics are beautiful and along with the sound effects and musical score really immerse you in the game.

Not only is the game fun, the movie sequences are a joy to watch and make a good game into a great must have title.

A neat title to have if you really want a LOTR title that brings a little more to the game than just what you saw at your local theater, but missing parts, changes to the story, and some technical and gameplay issues cannot be overlooked while playing it.

Curse of Atlantis provides some good, old-fashioned point and click with a solid story and voice work.

With all the right elements in place, Legends of Wrestling II had all the makings of a great wrestling title but its faults take away from the fun.

Retains the gameplay of the original that makes it enjoyable, but it just seems to be getting a little past it’s time for not only the gameplay, but the graphics as well.

With the headphones, it was an enveloping experience with plenty of challenge, and good replay value.

Oddly enough, I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy Ghost Recon when I wasn’t encountering problems.

The driving and shooting found in Starsky & Hutch would have been a dream come true but thanks to the awkwardness of the controls for the shooting side of it you’ll be frustrated if you’re playing this as a single player experience. The missions can also become really repetitive and that’s too bad since there are a small number of missions that really kick asphalt.

Don't be expecting anything groundbreaking with Hydrophobia. Although, I mildly enjoyed myself while playing through this game, the annoying control scheme and rather standard gameplay leaves me feeling like the game has a little more potential than what was tapped into.

While somewhat faithful to the cartoon, Avatar: The Last Airbender for the PS2 fails to capture the true essence of the show’s characters in a game that’s short and uninspiring.

I really can't say I recommend this title, especially when Dynasty Warriors 6 is sitting on the shelf right next to it. Unless of course, you're a Dynasty Warriors fanatic, and want to get a new take on the series.

Space Chimps surprisingly doesn't suck as long as we're talking about the platforming sections. It's basic stuff that you've played before, but it's also done well -- kiddies who liked the movie will get a kick out of it.

An entertaining adventure game with just enough variety and inventive puzzles to please fans of the movie or books. There are certainly a few rough spots here and there and the visuals are not as eye-catching as they should be but the game has a number of fun moments that should not be missed by fans of the series.

A charming mini-game collection, but one that could have used more “oomph” for staying power. Still, families with multiple children will probably want to take a look, as it does offer some variety and no violence.

A game that should be reviled and admired at the same time. I kept wanting to despise the game but found myself playing it more and more.
