The game is no means a bad title, it just feels average, and at the near end of a system's life cycle, average just does not cut it for 40 bucks anymore.

Thanks to the responsive controls, the over/understeering necessary for drifting soon becomes second nature. The d-pad and analog nub both provide for excellent handling, with neither having a clear advantage over the other.

Metal Gear Acid is a decent tactical card battling game, but it is not a true Metal Gear title, and for me I expect no less.

It is the one game that will stand the test of time and would be my one choice if I had to pick only one title out of the launch.

If you’re looking for another fun multiplayer game, Untold Legends is definitely for you. It’s also great for a pick up and play.

The game looks and feels somewhat antiquated and the camera can be frustrating at times, but there’s enough good to keep you busy for a number of hours… at least until SCEA announces a Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank or Jak for the PSP.

The game falls not only short of expectation, but also below what this great team is capable of.

It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty freaking fun!

One of the deeper sports titles on the PSP. Just because it was stripped down to a handheld, does not mean that features and depth have been sacrificed.

A damn fine game.

Playing Wipeout Pure on the large, crisp PSP screen is a thing of beauty. Visually, the game is damn gorgeous. An excellent, silky smooth framerate, impressive textures, and even better lighting and weather effects.

The two on two and twenty-one varieties have been done very well, but no one has been extremely successful at anything where you control more than two players at a time.

What gets under your skin is that most of the combos are unblockable, and once you are caught in string of moves, you must wait until the move set is over before you can block or counter attack. This can be frustrating on both A.I. and human battles.

Whatever problems there are in the one player mode, the party games more than make up for them.

The story is trite, and the action is like a groggy Sunday morning.

A lack of selectable music and no graphical enhancements keep this game from breaking into the "A" grades.

The problem is, it’s only fun to play in short bursts.

I hope that if EA follows this up, they continue the same engine effort, yet fix that blasted A.I. and add some depth.

Another problem is the AI. More than other games, it seems that players on my team do things other than I would expect.

The camera angles in the PSP version of the game are as frustrating as ever. Basically traditional or coach camera modes are the only ones remotely useful.

It's a game that allows non-gamers to take part in the action. People simply want to try the game because the controller is so inviting to them. For the hardcore gamers out there, the game is a bit short and tad easy.

MLB 2006 looks flat out fantastic, not only that, everything looks authentic.

Audio does a fine job, with some great commentary that never gets old, and is spot on accurate when calling the action on the pitch.
