    Dead Rising
    Dead Rising is an action-packed romp through a mall full of zombies. If that's not a recipe for a good time then you've never mowed down a group of zombies with an actual lawn mower!

    Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting
    I had such high hopes for this game but the lag and connection problems makes this a frustrating online experience. On the other hand, I had a great time playing against the computer and people locally.

    Galaga
    It's certainly a true arcade port of the arcade game with the same graphics and gameplay. There aren't many new options however.

    Tekken: Dark Resurrection
    This PSP Tekken manages to be everything you could possibly want from a portable 3D fighting game...and a whole lot more!

    Painkiller: Hell Wars
    A pared down meat-and-potatoes shooter, heavy on visceral mayo and lite on the rest of the fixings. High fidelity to its PC forebears, putting you in a vegetative killing state with interspersed spikes of adrenaline.

    Cloning Clyde
    It's fun and a blast in multiplayer. Cloning Clyde isn't a very deep game but it can be worth your $10 if you like side scrolling games.

    Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
    At the end of the day, you’ve got a fairly good port of a PS1 title with a few new bells and whistles which are greatly appreciated, but are left with a few old nagging issues.

    Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light
    NIS tried hard with this new game built specifically for the PSP, but design flaws and a weak story hold back what could have been a good game.

    Super Dragon Ball Z
    There's enough over-the-top action in Super Dragon Ball Z to make this an easy game to recommend for fans of the series, unfortunately fans of modern 3D fighting games may want to look elsewhere for their fix.

    Pet Vet 3D: Animal Hospital
    This game is appropriate for young animal lovers ages 8-11, and while it is educational, it makes up for that by also being fun. There are a few annoyances, but overall it is a good value.

    Prey (2006)
    While the game features some new innovation that we’ll be seeing in upcoming games you do have to wonder about the value the game brings as the single player side of the game is a bit on the short side and the multiplayer is a bit on the generic side.

    Prey
    A solid first-person shooter that tries out a few new ideas and offers a compelling single-player story. But now that the shock and amazement of finally getting to play it has warn off we're left with a game that is a lot of fun ... but probably not worth the decade-long wait.

    Glory of the Roman Empire
    Not great, but okay. There's nothing really new or exciting in this game, unless you want a gift for your major-history-buff dad. Other than that, this is probably a title best left to all the hard-core strategy gamers out there.

    Street Fighter Alpha Anthology
    Street Fighter Alpha Anthology isn’t going to make a believer out of you if you already hate the series, but it is a welcome addition to the library of any fighting game fan.

    Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
    Liberty City Stories is a great PSP game that didn't need to be ported to the PlayStation 2. If you're in the market for a Grand Theft Auto game on Sony's current generation console it's better you stick with Vice City or San Andreas.

    City Life
    City Life adds a new social element to the traditional sim game. It takes some clever planning to keep your city’s populace from destroying each other, but the implementation feels just a bit heavy-handed. The rest of the package is high caliber, except for some questionable taste in music.

    Half-Life 2: Episode One
    The HDR lighting really shines here and offers an impressive recreation of realistic lighting.

    Stacked with Daniel Negreanu
    Beginners and intermediate Texas Hold ‘Em players will love the custom avatars, multiple unique AI, and the chance to play against digital renditions of poker superstars. Experienced players will want to skip Stacked with Daniel Negreanu and head over to their favorite online poker site.

    Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis
    Rockstar Games Presents Tabel Tennis may seem like an unlikely sports game, but it ends up being one of the best playing games of the year.

    X-Men: The Official Game
    The gameplay is definitely not worth the $59.99 price tag of a next generation title.
    • 50 Metascore

    X-Men: The Official Game
    X-Men: the Official Game for DS is the same licensing travesty we’ve seen so many times before.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    X-Men: The Official Game
    Sadly, the lack of a discernable plot, limited character selection, some bugs(enemies walking through barriers, jumping off the screen only to appear on the other side), and boring basic level play lead this game down a bad road.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    X-Men: The Official Game
    Z-Axis tries to capture the intense, ethically-charged feel of the X-Men films, but ends up with an average brawler and little replay value.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Garfield and His Nine Lives
    Garfield and his Nine Lives offers a simple and entertaining platforming experience that is sure to make the kids happy. There are a couple combat quirks and the graphics have a few hitches, but it doesn't spoil the product. Game Factory has done its job and fashioned a fun little game, no more, no less.

    Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
    An original, attractive world full of interesting beings to kill. Just oozes interesting ideas we’ll see more of in the future. Path-finding and networking bugs add a fly to the ointment.

    SiN Episodes: Emergence
    A good first step into the world of episodic content, the game is not perfect but Emergence is a decent way to re-start this franchise and kick off this new type of gameplay.

    DreamWorks Over the Hedge
    Bottom line: Over the Hedge was fun for tweens, but better for the bottom end of the ESRB rating.

    Over the Hedge
    While it lacks the portable entertainment value of the GBA version, so does it also lack the tears of frustration that can result with kids who don't deal well with unresponsive controls.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars
    A great improvement over the intriguing (but flawed) original. Spellforce 2 does achieve a good blend of RTS and RPG gameplay, and has gone far toward finding that perfect balance.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    DreamWorks Over the Hedge
    The concepts behind the gameplay aren't exactly original, but their use and execution makes up for any stolen ideas. What the developers have done is unexpected: they've taken an excuse to make a truly forgettable game, and instead produced a quality product that keeps the player playing, and occasionally makes them laugh as well.
