    Dark Void Zero
    Had there been more levels, Dark Void Zero would've been unbeatable.

    007: Top Agent
    007: Top Agent is a boring and slow-paced strategy game that further soils the Bond video game legacy. Don't purchase it, not even for ninety-nine cents.

    The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
    The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is an excellent addition to Nintendo's celebrated franchise and a great way to close 2009.

    MX vs. ATV Reflex
    Despite its good looks, MX Vs. ATV Reflex doesn't hold up on the PSP. The controls fail to deliver, and the lack of working trick and jump systems will leave you grounded, both on the track and in spirit.

    MX vs. ATV Reflex
    Sorry, THQ, we know you were trying to create a fun portable racer, but MX Vs. ATV Reflex for the DS doesn't measure up to the console version. The slippery controls, questionable collision and unbearable sound make this a game we'd love to forget.

    Tekken 6
    Namco has done great things with Tekken 6 on the PSP. It's enjoyable both alone and with friends, it looks and sounds terrific and has the one thing most portable fighting games lack, and that's enjoyable gameplay.

    Assassin's Creed II: Discovery
    There's no clunkiness like there was in Altair's Chronicles, only great 2-D platforming and a cool presentation. This is a pleasant Discovery indeed.

    LittleBigPlanet
    If you have a PSP (or PSP go, as the game will be available for download on the PlayStation Network), LittleBigPlanet should be your next purchase.

    Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
    Had developer Griptonite expanded the scope of the city and cleaned up the guard A.I., Bloodlines would've been on the same level as previous Assassin's Creed games. As it stands, it's merely a side chapter instead of a main attraction.

    Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
    Nevertheless, just when we thought we'd seen the last of Jak and Daxter, High Impact Games surprises us with this thrilling romp. Welcome back, team.

    WireWay
    Had Konami considered a wider camera display and additional multiplayer modes, WireWay could've been a huge hit. If you can accept these shortcomings, the game's worth a try.

    Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron
    Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron may not be as good as the previous console releases that came before it, but for fans of the series, there's still some fun to be had.

    C.O.P.: The Recruit
    If you're looking for a somewhat fun action, you could do worse than C.O.P the Recruit. The shooting controls needed work, and it would've been nice to have a multiplayer mode, but this is one police story worth listening to.

    Band Hero
    Even though Band Hero is still a strong musical performer, its problems keep it from stealing the show.
    • 73 Metascore

    LocoRoco Midnight Carnival
    While Midnight Carnival ends too soon, it's a smile-inducing side trip that's worth downloading on your PSP or PSP Go.

    Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter
    Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter will appeal to fans of the first game, as well as kids who love building things.

    Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
    Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has problems, but we're still giving it a hefty thumbs up.
    • 34 Metascore

    Astro Boy: The Video Game
    Just avoid it and go see the movie instead.
    • 76 Metascore

    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
    Small control and connection issues aside, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for the DS is the superior version.

    Half-Minute Hero
    Half-Minute Hero will take you several hours to beat, and while some of the objectives can be a grind (especially in Evil Lord 30), boredom never becomes an issue.

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky
    There's barely any new content to sift through in this third chapter, and most of it fails to impress. Nintendo needs to rejuvenate this brand or scuttle it entirely. We're sick of going through dungeons. Show us something new.

    Gran Turismo: The Real Driving Simulator
    The presentation is the best we've seen yet for a PSP racing game, and the controls are surprisingly manageable. Still, the missing online compatibility and extremely limited car store leave this entry feeling above average when it should've been superb.

    Beaterator
    Beaterator could've been a little more consumer-friendly, with a better hands-on tutorial and some minor sequences. Not everyone will get it, but would-be music maestros and DJs should definitely give it a look.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
    Even though it doesn't look as good as other MotorStorm games, we're happy with the way Arctic Edge turned out. The controls are easy to learn, the presentation is solid and the crashes and stunts are just as fun as ever.

    Undead Knights
    If you're looking for a good zombie fix this Halloween, Undead Knights should be on the top of your list. The addictive zombie-commanding action, multiplayer options and blood-soaked presentation will make you want to join this legion.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Mobilized
    Although Modern Warfare 2 is obviously superior, it's nice to see that DS owners have a great alternative with Mobilized. The gameplay is fun, and the presentation is jam-packed with excitement.

    DiRT 2
    No, DiRT 2 isn't filled with the same awe and wonder as the console versions. That's obvious. However, if you can look past the speed bumps, you'll see it's a moderately enjoyable racer.
    • 80 Metascore

    SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny
    The controls are excellent, the create-a-player and versus options will keep you entertained and the presentation won't let you down. Yup, the Soul still burns.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Warriors Orochi 2
    For some, Warriors Orochi 2 will feel like the same old song and dance. However, give Koei credit for making enough changes to make it feel like a sequel rather than a lame expansion.

    Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters
    If you're not in the mood for a full Brain Age release, Arts and Letters is worth messing around with. The main games are fun and the addition of Themes mode prolongs the replay value better than we expected. We're all for new downloadable Brain Age releases, as long as they work as well as this one.
