    God of War II
    The depth of combat rivals a fighting game, while the story will keep players glued to the screen. Couple that with the high production values that God of War 2 has and you get what is perhaps the last great jewel in the PS2 crown.

    Making History: The Calm and the Storm
    Making History is a good addition to any turn-based strategy fan's library.

    Rocky Balboa
    The problem with Rocky Balboa is that it just doesn't have enough depth to satisfy any real boxing urges.

    The Sacred Rings
    There's just not enough to attract a lot of people to this game. The story feels non-existent, the characters are dull, and the puzzles mind-numbing.

    Carol Vorderman's Sudoku
    Even with a healthy dose of competition out there, Carol Vorderman's Sudoku is one of the best gaming renditions of Latin Squares available.

    Spectrobes
    There's a lack of collectible species, the battle system is slow and repetitive, and the mining system is overdone. Unfortunately for the game, it relies on these gamplay elements to make it fun, and each of them comes up short. In turn, so does the game.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
    Overall, GRAW 2's package looks, feels, sounds, and plays better than the first, so if you liked the first GRAW, checking out the sequel is a no-brainer.

    Wario: Master of Disguise
    I somehow can't seem to put the game down. Its one redeeming quality is that it's so incredibly addictive. The controls are brutal at times, but the game is creative and enough of a new experience that it makes the game feel like something fresh.

    Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2007)
    Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is an engaging adventure title, accessible to everyone, but still offers a few challenges to even the most experienced adventure gamer.

    Lumines Plus
    With a sequel already released on the portable console with a bevy of new features, it's a shame that Lumines Plus couldn't have lived up to its name and actually included something new beyond an additional skin or two.

    Formula One Championship Edition
    Formula One Championship Edition provides a good balance of arcade and simulation gameplay.

    Chili Con Carnage
    CCC is a fun shooter romp for your PSP. If you can look past its faults, there is a lot of fun to be had here.

    MLB 07: The Show
    For someone who is not a die-hard baseball fan, I really enjoyed this game. I can only imagine that if I was crazy for baseball this UMD would only leave my PSP in a year's time when MLB'08 was released.

    Jade Empire: Special Edition
    The controls are fairly decent and simple, but the camera is just terrible. It gets stuck behind objects, above them, pointing at awkward angles, and sometimes an area will load and the camera will begin pointing at the floor. Directly at the floor.

    MLB 07: The Show
    If you've already got MLB 06, it's difficult to justify the upgrade unless this mode particularly interests you, but for those new to the series then MLB 07 is worth the purchase for any fan of the sport.

    War Front: Turning Point
    Overall, War Front isn't a spectacular game and achieves average scores on most criteria. However, die-hard RTS fans may find the campaign suitably entertaining and worth the purchase price.

    Crackdown
    The variety of achievements will also keep you entertained for a long while. A solid, fun and wholly addictive game that should be purchased on its merits alone.

    Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner
    Despite the heavy time investment the storyline requires during gameplay and the very structured linear gaming experience, I still enjoyed this game.

    Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar
    Truly a superb expansion in the way that it not only refines, but provides a new direction for the gameplay and adds a significant value to the game.

    Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
    It may not be as revolutionary as "Donkey Kong Country" was for the SNES (which completely redefined what people thought supposedly outdated hardware was capable of), but this game is a great starting point to prove the nay-sayers of the PSP wrong.

    Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game
    As an adventure game, Secrets of the Ark is a very good one, assuming you can get over the hurdles and high degree of difficulty some of the puzzles require.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    City Life: World Edition
    A great game for any city-building aficionado, but the extra content brought to the game doesn't really add up to much, and it's certainly not enough to purchase the game a second time, if you already own the original.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Battlestations: Midway
    Few titles attempt a real-time strategy/action hybrid, and even less actually succeed. The precision of point-and-click may be the time-honored interface for tactical games, but Eidos Hungary has produced an excellent, landmark entry for the genre on consoles
    • 49 Metascore
    • 51 Critic Score
    Fuzion Frenzy 2
    In the end, Fuzion Frenzy 2 is simply an average (at best) party/compilation game that lacks depth, an overall sense of continuity and fun.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Europa Universalis III
    If you’re looking for a deep strategy title, then Europa Universalis III is likely for you. With its improved interface and tutorials, it’s possible to lose at least a few hours in the game even if you’re not an enthusiast of the genre.

    World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
    The overall quality of The Burning Crusade is simply astounding.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    WarioWare: Smooth Moves
    You can see everything that the game has to offer in one solid evening of gaming, which makes a full price tag hard to swallow. However, Smooth Moves is one of the best rentals that you could make for your next party.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Mr. Robot
    All in all, this is the perfect procrastinator’s game. It’s light, it’s somewhat challenging and above all, it’s enjoyable without the addiction factor.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Football Mogul 2007
    Football Mogul 2007, even as a budget title, is just not in the same league as Baseball Mogul 2007 was and while well-meaning, feels more like an unfinished product than a neat little niche title. I'll go so far as to say that Football Mogul 2007 actually feels more like a Windows "application" than a football game.
