    If this game interests you at all, let me make a recommendation – buy Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 instead.

    Designed with both replayability and pick up & play in mind, WRC is both lengthy and challenging, but simple enough to play for 10 minutes a day on the train to work, between classes at college, or any other scenario where time is needing some killing.

    Brain Age isn’t really a game and it’s gimmick will eventually wear thin. But it’s also an excellent piece of software for those that like a good puzzle game.

    It might not be the same sort of revitalization that "Resident Evil" got last year, but make no mistake, this is a very good game with plenty of thrills, twists, turns, and thanks to some great stages and tons of personality, Legend doesn't just bring TR back, it will make you forget everything about those old, dusty PlayStation games as well.

    There are absolutely no questions about the future of the franchise now; in fact, I can't wait for the next sequel, which is something that fans haven't been able to say for a long time.

    The game definitely has been slimmed down from the massive bulk of Gran Turismo 4, making sure to not drown this new audience in confusion, but at the same time it's deep enough that those who've come to expect a seemingly never-ending game should be satisfied even though it definitely lacks the depth Polyphony is known for.

    Overall, Commandos Strike Force is a competent shooter and a decent first effort at a FPS.

    Even though the console source wasn’t overly impressive and the PSP suffers from a number of new control issues, it’s still a good start.

    Top Spin 2 usurps its originator in every regard. The amount of detail is breathtaking at times and the career mode exhibits a vast amount of depth, not to mention the open-ended create-a-player feature.

    If you’re looking for Disney nostalgia and very linear action-RPG gameplay, it’s simply a joy to see, hear and interact with all of your Disney favorites.
    • 66 Metascore

    The pitfalls come from the game’s lack of online population (read: no players to match against for dogfights) and the fairly mediocre in-game presentation. Not a total misfire, but really only worth a rental (or Marketplace demo) for most people.

    Although losing track of your character in all of the commotion on screen is a serious problem and button mashing is a result, if you have a short attention span and love chaotic gameplay, Red Hot Rumble may be right for you.

    It just goes to show that true classic games will always be fun, no matter what the next generation comes up with.

    Suikoden V marks a complete return to the roots that made Suikoden such a great series during its tenure on the PSOne. Both Suikoden and RPGfans will find themselves absolutely enthralled with the story, despite the number of issues presented in the game. If your looking for a traditional RPG experience with just the right amount of tools: look no further than Suikoden V.

    It captures the magic and provides the quirky, unique gameplay in portable form as faithfully as humanly possible. And there's nothing wrong with that.

    The story works decently, though it’s nowhere near as spectacular as, say, Metal Gear Solid 3, but I suppose few games are. The series still has a way to go to iron out all of the bugs, but Metal Gear Acid 2 is definitely a step in the right direction.

    The addictive gameplay hasn't aged, but the graphics and the almost non-existent sound effects certainly seem dated.

    This game is overwhelming and overachieving in so many ways that Bethesda needs to take a bow.

    With all of the classic NES sights and sounds, Tetris DS looks and sounds better than practically any game of Tetris before it (but I still miss the Russian feel).

    It takes a rich universe and focuses it on a very popular character, and didn't just throw him into some clone of Jak 3, but instead designed a game around Daxter and the PSP.

    Powered Up is definitely the most comprehensive Mega Man game out there.

    Sure, the driving is fun but the twitchy handling, tough repetitive missions (especially the poor shooting sequences), generic sidequests and flaky police AI all conspire to reduce the fun level.

    GRAW delivers an experience that is truly memorable because it innovates in presentation, control, visuals, and because it presents a solo and multiplayer package that is compelling on both fronts.

    Thanks to the always-entertaining battle system, Shadow Hearts: From the New World manages to be a good, enjoyable game, but one that definitely has lost potential. The plot is intriguing at its core but it doesn't develop very well – there's no urgency compared to Covenant.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It'll never be a game of the year candidate, but Pursuit Force does bring a unique, usually fun, definitely challenging, and ultimately solid title to PSP that doesn't fall into a franchise that's already known on PS2.
    • 81 Metascore

    It's longer, it's deeper, and it's got plenty of variety thanks to 5 playable characters, so series fanatics should be happy, long as they're still into the Onimusha formula and can mind the slower pace.

    Intense speed, hordes of gametypes, a unique and in-depth online setup, and of course, next-generation visuals and high-definition presentation.

    The game isn’t half as technical as, say, Capcom’s Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, but where SFA3 was complex, DBZ is just more accessible.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What's here is a unique, creative and obviously lovingly crafted tribute to guns and the shooter genre, but somewhat limited by some strange AI tendencies, a short playtime and some really weird design flaws that make Black occasionally more frustrating and cumbersome than it really could have been.

    True, a lot more could’ve been done with this license, but for 24 fans it’s more forgivable and only a hope that another day is in store for the virtual Jack Bauer.
