Need for Speed Carbon is another solid entry in the NFS franchise, not really a complete reinvention of the series, but rather an improvement with added features.

Sure it still is a fast and furious racing game with a lot to offer but this is stuff we’ve seen before.

Need For Speed lives up to its heritage staying at the forefront in the evolution of racing simulations. Although I wish there was more revolution I can’t deny its status of a rock-solid racer.

If "Liberty City Stories" was the reason you <I>should</I> buy a PSP, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is the reason you <I>need</I> a PSP.

The controls still don’t feel right and dribbling can be a bit awkward but these are issues that don’t really cripple the gameplay.

A very average game that won't hold the kids' interest for long. The main adventure aspect of collecting items for characters is boring, and the mini-games are, too.

I suggest skipping the Xbox and PS2 iterations of the title and head straight to the Xbox 360 version since the Xbox 360 is the only console right now with online capabilities.

It’s a purely hack-and-slash affair with all the right elements that make this game an enjoyable experience for fans of the genre. While some fetch quests are a little dull side, it’s hard to ignore the game’s originality and fun hack-and-slash action.

Tunguska is a decent adventure game, but one that doesn’t rise above the crowd in any significant way.

Players will be able to tell that this game was made from the ground up with the PlayStation Portable controls in mind, because this game handles really well. Handling the various vehicles all felt natural and fun as you are doing various tricks in the air.

The game looks good, and still plays well. The game does not substantially send the franchise forward with innovations, but rather adds to what is already there.

The single-player game is not that deep or compelling and the network portion is repetitive without a lot of variation in either missions or environments.

Dark Messiah feels like a missed opportunity, with some huge ideas but a definite lack of polish.

A light-hearted and entertaining aerial combat adventure. Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron soars above and beyond most other flight games, kid-targeted or not.

If they continue to improve the series as they have this time around, the final two installments of .hack//G.U have the potential to really make their mark in the RPG genre.

Certain parts need polishing, sure, including AI and level design. But anyone craving superhero action should pick this title up immediately.

If you ever wanted to have the opportunity to control over twenty Super Hero legends in one game then this is your chance.

There are some glitches, but the pure joy of unlocking that next hero and then trying to come up with the perfect team is reason enough to work through the game a couple of times.

Non-stop beat-‘em-up combat. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is unquestionably the best action/RPG available for PSP. It’s exciting, addictive, and very well paced.

A refreshingly different take on the series, with high-speed action and excellent online features.

A great expansion pack to a great real-time strategy game. Having a third faction that can stand up to the other two factions really helps give this game new life in the single player, and let’s not forget the multiplayer.

Capcom finally strikes retro gaming gold with Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded for the PSP. Not only does it cram in dozens of unforgettable classics into one tasty package but the games featured here still hold up wonderfully after all these years.

Clearly the license in which it is derived from is a complex and engaging one, but maybe there was just too much bitten off here.

Even though it’s short, even when compared to other expansions, F.E.A.R. Extraction Point is a fun and visceral experience in league with the original game.

Hammy Goes Nuts! may seem to be a bit too simple for most, young players should enjoy it.

A half-baked multiplayer mode and the same ‘ol gameplay mean that the Dynasty Warriors series is showing its seams.

Touch Detective’s old-school, slow-paced gameplay may not be for everyone, but fans of the genre will enjoy the quirky aesthetic and witty story.

Kid gamers in Japan might find this kind of experience to be entertaining, but there is no way American kids will ever go for it. For one thing, there isn't an "action" element. Second, the camera is a mess.
