    Don't expect a greatest hit and know that in the end this is still Pinball, which while cool, gets old fast.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Control issues, lagging response time and a rushed-to-market feel water-down what should have been the best soccer game on PSP.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's a niche title, that if you're into the scooter thing you'll like. If not, it will seem a lot like a lesser version of "Grind Session." Not a prize winner, not a bad apple, just a nice little surprise for all the scooter fans out there.

    Rent it and relive all what's good (length, challenge, graphics) and bad (control, pixelation, difficulty, puzzles) about one of the PSX's best action series ever.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It's the closest thing to "Super Smash Bros." that the PSOne will ever get, and based on the compromised look of the graphics on display here that's probably a good thing.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A poor-man’s 32-bit alternative to the fun Gundam antics recently unleashed on PS2’s the world over via “Federation Vs. Zeon.” It’s not a bad game per se as much as a generic and uninspired one.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    There is a good core of solid gameplay ideas and control physics at the center of "NBA ShootOut 2001", but you have to live with outdated-beyond-its-time graphics to enjoy them.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    I hear "SSX" is great, and if you're not getting a PS2, I'd go with the immortal "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2." Skateboarding, snowboarding, same diff.

    If you were one of the diehard puzzle fanatics that were able to master the likes of "Devil Dice" (PSOne) and "Wetrix" (N64, Dreamcast) give "Pipe Dreams 3D" a shot.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A good game in a genre that may have one foot in the grave. It isn't the most exciting, nor best shooter on the PlayStation but it does have some entertaining areas that might be enough to arise interest.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Living with outdated rosters that have legendary baseball greats to play around with isn't worth giving up for an update that looks/plays/sounds the same as last year's.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    If you liked "Colony Wars," or if you like "Star Trek," you'll probably like this game. I didn't like "Colony Wars," and I don't like "Star Trek."
    • 70 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Complex control schemes and generic (but well-integrated) military storyline cut-scenes aside, this game's a blast to play provided one is in a patient and forgiving-enough mood to forget momentarily about "Red Faction" or "Half-Life".
    • 77 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Mild entertainment but nothing too deep or significant for the money.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The game's laborious method of having to constantly upgrade replacement killers tacked onto a rather genericly expanded story, buries all of the unique properties that were meant to make this game stand out.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A looser and slightly more free-wheeling soccer experience than the so-sim-oriented-it-hurts "FIFA Soccer" PSP game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Extensive loading times aside (understandable given the insane amount of animation frames on display) Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower does the classic 2D fighting genre justice.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A good racing game in need of a personality.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Falls squarely in the middle. It offers gamers two discs of entertainment that's not original, not half bad.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Stuart Little 2’s pleasant combination of smooth control, decent graphics, above-average FMV breaks and passable music/audio effects hits the mark for the target audience it’s intended for.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    There are enough satisfying nuggets of 'survival horror turned "Virtua Cop" clone w/limited movement' goodness to make this odd curiosity worth playing for most, and maybe even worth owning by the "RE" fanatics.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's just a Wendy's Chicken Sandwich: tasty and delicious, but not tasty (or well-promoted) enough to go up against the Big Mac and the Whooper.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Talk about irritating! Keith Jackson spurts out the same few phrases his has over and over throughout the game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even with "Strider 1" as a bonus game, it shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours to complete both games, and there isn't much to make you want to play the games again.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    An easy learning curve, competent control and some neat CG movies share space with outdated graphics, bad music and childishly-hilarious sound effects.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Simply too average for anything to stand out.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Not bad at all really but still not much to shout about.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Although riddled with enough flaws to keep the casual gamer at bay, "Gundam Battle Assault" isn't so terrible that it alienates even the hardcore supporters willing to overlook its problems.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    "Twisted Metal 2" is light years beyond Small Brawl. Small Brawl is more akin to a Gameboy Advance game than a full fledged PSX SKU.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Not even at the reduced price of $25-30 should you waste your time and money on such a rehash.
