It won’t keep mature gamers’ attention for very long, but kids will love it.

Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars makes the jump to consoles well although it's not perfectly intact.

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, despite being aimed at a squarely younger audience, is a very fun game despite its simplicity.

The highlight of the graphics is undoubtedly the recreation of Manhattan. While it was impressive in Spider-Man 2, this sequel takes it to unprecedented heights.

Frantix would have been a solid budget title. The gameplay isn’t bad and it is nice to spend a few minutes with as you relax.

A rather tough sell. The Mob Wars portion of the game is well implemented, if a bit shallow, but it isn’t enough to make this an easily recommendable purchase. The story mode carries its own set of problems, as well.

The dimwitted A.I. is frustrating and removes much of the fun from the game. Although not a bad game by any means, it doesn’t meet the Street’s series high standards.

It doesn't do anything too different and although the cycles are nice, I felt that the Veritechs of the previous game were much more fun to mess around with.

The game's combat system is surprisingly fun despite being quite button-mashing friendly.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a fun platformer, definitely aimed at younger gamers and fans of the series.

Samurai Shodown V isn't the best looking or most refined fighter available, but it does work well enough including a fully functional online mode.

The actual combat is very quick, very exciting and thoroughly enjoyed. It’s unfortunate that the unlockable movies, comic books and online play were removed, but the core game is still stronger on PSP.
