Conceptually solid, interesting and potentially enjoyable, but let down by poor execution and a sense of disconnection.- PALGN

Power Stone Collection has been given a second chance and it shows that not many games have come close to its original formula. Though two players and more is a must.- PALGN

The game hasn't changed that much, but it didn't really need to. Pure arcade fun.- PALGN

Own the City still has framerate issues and a gameplay engine that hasn't really changed, but it's still a fun game.- PALGN

One of the best games on the PSP. It's a step up from Vice City and little enhancements make the game a thoroughly enjoyable portable title.- PALGN

A promising start for EA's new FIFA engine, if they can iron out its problems FIFA 08 could be a killer game, but until then it’s still a long way behind Konami’s offering.- PALGN

A decent hack-and-slash RPG. Even though it’s much simpler and lacks the depth of its PC predecessor, it actually suits the handheld format. However, it’s some of the thoughtless design choices, the lack of good direction and tech issues that hold it back from standing out against, say "Untold Legends."- PALGN

A reasonable game but its lack of challenge and enticement makes it fall far behind the pack.- PALGN

Despite a few issues, Climax's game is an excellent first-party title. Solid gameplay, visuals and multiplayer modes makes ATV Offroad Fury Pro one of the best off-road racing titles to hit the PlayStation Portable.- PALGN

Phantasy Star fans will adore the new title, but after Phantasy Star Online the development of the series isn’t as groundbreaking as the aforementioned title, and often leaves you questioning whether the time and money is worth spending when other titles provide much more.- PALGN

A superb game, but not without its problems. There are a few unfinished graphical holes, the length of the game is a tad disappointing and the multiplayer isn’t quite attractive – especially with those dreadful load times.- PALGN

Simply great fun to play. It embodies everything in the Marvel universe, which is a legendary license unto itself, while simultaneously providing an extremely solid Action RPG experience.- PALGN

Empire at War did a great job of bringing the Star Wars universe to the RTS genre. Corruption continues its legacy offering a brand new, oft ignored, faction into play whilst also adding some extremely new and engadging gamplay to the series.- PALGN

Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded isn't better than its predecessor but it is a solid compilation in its own right.- PALGN

Even though most players have been here and done this, Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2 actually provides reasonably portable hack-and-slash action. That is, if you can put up with it.- PALGN

A generic platformer to say the least. It is obvious the game’s focus is on the franchises rather than the core gameplay mechanics. One for the diehard fanatics only.- PALGN

Although it’ superior to the PlayStation 2 version, there still lacks an overall polish and depth to make it stand out from the crowd. Best left for die-hard fans only.- PALGN

Legends has ruined many of the fun elements of previous Stronghold games, and reuses clichéd real-time strategy themes such as dragons and magic that really make no sense at all to the final product.- PALGN

One of the finest games to come from a console to a handheld and is easily the best flight sim on a handheld.- PALGN

Contact has a very strange feel to it, and not just that of a game with over-simplified controls.- PALGN

Despite it’s shortcomings, Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave should once again please Nancy Drew fans and those who are keen for a simple mystery game.- PALGN

A great game. We would have liked to have seen some more difficult hurdles to overcome and maybe even an extra hours gameplay would have kept us more happy until Episode 2 comes out. If you love point and click this episodic series looks like it could be good.- PALGN

Jimmy Hopkins is a more entertaining character than any of the GTA leads (except perhaps Tommy Vercetti). This propels Bully to a status of well above average, providing a rich, detailed gaming experience – but not without its flaws.- PALGN

It's not quite the complete package that "Chaos Theory" was, but it deserves credit for trying something a bit different this time around, even if the changes weren’t entirely successful ones. Few games recreate the sense of tension the way that the Splinter Cell games do, and this latest version does it incredibly well.- PALGN

Whilst not being overly different from the previous Battlefield games it does offer significant improvements and additions to gameplay to make it an extremely good game. A few bugs bring it down a little.- PALGN

Enriched with lovely graphics, an inviting gameplay structure and that special Meier something, Railroads! could’ve been a real gem for train simulation fans. However, with a few flaws such as simple and repetitive goals, and a game that is an absolute system hog, Sid Meier’s Railroads! isn’t as great as we expected.- PALGN

Destroy All Humans! 2 keeps a lot of what was good about the first game and adds enough to make it something of a better experience. Somehow loses a bit to the material and to glitch issues that shouldn't be found in games released in this period of a console cycle.- PALGN

A vast improvement upon it's predecessors and an extremely enjoyable golf game, there still aren't enough courses but EA are clearly working on improving the franchise.- PALGN
