    Driver '76
    If not for the fact that the actual driving in Driver '76 is fairly decent, this would be a complete loss. Technical issues, excessive loading and a worthless storyline, however, mean the driving is the only thing that's decent.

    Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
    It's hard to know what to be more pissed about -- that this lackluster port was brought over in the first place or that it will still probably sell due to the sheer number of PS2s out there. Don't be one of those people that gets suckered, though, please?

    Spider-Man 3
    Throwaway combat, a horrid indoor camera, frustrating missions and a general lack of respect for the characters and comic source material mean you have a game that looks fairly good, but doesn't really do justice to the property it's all based on.

    Super Rub a Dub
    Given away as a free tech demo, this probably would have been a modest bit of amusement and a placeholder for a proper SIXAXIS demonstration. Instead, it's horribly overprices and woefully under-realized.

    Heatseeker
    Heatseeker isn't a horrible game, it's just very, very average, and when there are games out there that do everything this one does better, there's really little reason to check it out. If you're absolutely plane crazy it's a rental, but that's it.

    Cube
    Though the presentation might be weak, the core puzzles can't be praised enough. With a slightly clunky level editor and some very basic unlockables, it only gets better. Cube is by no means perfect, but it is perfectly enjoyable for puzzle freaks.

    Aedis Eclipse: Generation of Chaos
    While it might seem like this is a better game than the first, it's really just as broken. It's better programmed to be sure, but the insanely deep gameplay is still just as muddled behind clunky menus and brain-dead battles.

    Eureka Seven Vol. 2: The New Vision
    Who actually thought this would be a game that people want to play? Everything about it, from the dialogue to the story to the action are so wholly worthless that I'd be surprised if it didn't outright piss fans of the series off rather than service them.

    7 Wonders of the Ancient World
    I hate to mention it again, but "Puzzle Quest" flat-out did the match-three concept better. 7 Wonders is a poor, lifeless "Bejeweled" clone with far, far better competition on the PSP.

    Pocket Pool
    No amount of skimpy girls can save this abortion of a game. It fails at pool, it fails to titillate save for in the most basic of ways, it just plain fails. Period.

    Valhalla Knights
    Solid visuals and audio, old-school charm and an absolutely huge adventure to slog through are not enough to offset the fact that this a brutally difficult game at the outset and it does nothing to help you along while you learn the ropes.

    Virtua Tennis 3
    This game needed online play. I've already spent a bazillion hours with the first two games, and what would have made this feel truly fresh would have been playing against other vets. Consider me bummed.

    Armored Core 4
    This is a perfect example of a game being lesser than the sum of its parts. Solid graphics and sound, arguably the best control in the series, and some decent missions don't excuse crap online and too many bland objectives.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
    This is the closest thing we've got right now to an offline MMORPG. That means a stupid huge amount of gameplay for the money, and with a huge story and hundreds of hours of exploration to be had, good luck finding a better value.

    Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
    I've never been so happy to be so angry with a game. The peanut butter/chocolate combo took this long to be combined why, now? You know what, it doesn't matter. You need this game -- even if you think you don't. Just be ready with the blood pressure meds.

    God of War II
    If I remember right, the last game I gave a 10 to was "ICO." GOWII is that caliber. It's polished, infinitely satisfying, offers a ton of replayability and bonus content, and is just plain fun to play. That is a 10 game to me.

    Call of Duty: Roads to Victory
    Admirable though the attempt to port the console experience to a handheld may be, there's just not enough compelling action here to warrant anything more than the most average of scores.

    ProStroke Golf - World Tour 2007
    Purely average, sadly, despite some slightly promising ideas. Accordingly, it gets an average score.

    Carol Vorderman's Sudoku
    It's Sudoku. Carol Vorderman -- someone you probably don't know -- presents it and gives you little tips. That's it, man. Yes, it's fun, but then Sudoku is fun, so hey, if you need a new fix to get your fix on the road... you're set. If not, well... um.

    Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
    A crap port of a great game is still a crap port. The good game part helps, yes, but when everything about the way the game plays on the PS2 feels like a rush job, it doesn't really instill a feeling of satisfaction -- if if the game is only $20.

    Lumines Plus
    The visuals and audio could have been better, as could the track list, but what's here is certainly worth the $20 asking price.

    Formula One Championship Edition
    This is technical racing at its best. Sure, it has an absolutely mammoth difficulty to overcome, but they're lessons that actually make you a better driver, and as one of the most exacting sims out there, it's like almost nothing else.

    Chili Con Carnage
    Developers, take note: this is how a handheld shooter is done. Visually pleasing, aurally satisfying and one of the most surprising conversions/upgrades the PSP has seen yet, CCC feels totally at home on the PSP.

    Samurai Warriors 2: Empires
    Why are we still playing these games? Because we have a problem, that's why, but it's fine, because so do you. Don't you? You wouldn't be reading this review if you didn't, so let's just both admit we share an addiction and cough up the cash.

    Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner
    It would be easy to call Jewel Summoner a good PSP RPG simply because there have been so many blah ones over the past couple years, but it really does stand as a solid beginning for what is planned to be a fairly ambitious take on a new Okada universe.
    • 85 Metascore

    Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
    So awesome, in fact, that like "Daxter" or "Liberty City Stories" or "WipEout Pure," it's worth buying the PSP for. It's absolutely a system seller, though obviously you'll want to be familiar with the series before you go dropping some $300 on the system and game.

    Ghost Rider
    It's neither as deep nor as satisfying as any of the games it bites the style from, but it doesn't do them such a disservice that the game is rendered painful either. It's just sort of... there, existing without doing much to give pause or reason to like it.

    The Warriors
    It's a beat-em-up, and so there will inevitably be someone complaining that it's repetitious, but the different micro-games should help stave them off for a while.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure
    Disarmingly solid. One expects a game this spritely to be a little lax on the depth or story. Neither is the case here; what you will find amidst all the genuinely enjoyable characters is an adventure that reaches well beyond the confines of a My First Adventure Game aesthetic and actually satisfies on a hardcore level.
