    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    But then this freedom is also the game's biggest flaw. Whereas Goblet of Fire is divided into levels, in Order of the Phoenix, you have to complete a number of mini-goals and quests as the story progresses. Hermione and Ron are your companions for most of the game and can sometimes offer advice about what you need to do next.

    Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2004)
    Because of the very convoluted and hard to understand story it knocks the game back a few notches in the enjoyment factor. Running blindly through a game is never as fun as having a reason to do so.

    True Swing Golf
    It’s hard to recommend True Swing except to the hardest of hardcore golf fans that simply must own every variation of the game possible, or to players very new to the realm of digital golf that likely won’t be put off by either its lack of standard features or it’s painfully easy shot execution.

    Geist
    Playing as a ghost who can possess people, animals and inanimate objects is a definite novelty, but a lot of the game's action sequences have a been there, done that feel.

    DreamWorks Madagascar
    Madagascar is a great deal of fun and is gloriously cute to look at. If you're completely (animal) crackers about the movie, it's just the ticket.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    MediEvil: Resurrection
    While it's not the most original game of its kind, fans of MediEvil should like this slick redux of the popular PlayStation platformers. The wireless multiplayer minigames are a nice bonus, too.

    Nibiru: Age of Secrets
    A game which has enough to keep you engaged with it all the way until the final crucial discovery about the nature and meaning of Nibiru.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Outlaw Tennis
    For anyone looking for a deceptively solid tennis game, grab your balls and get ready to make some racket with Outlaw Tennis (aren't I creative?).

    Secret Files: Tunguska
    And the story's intriguing.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Mission: Impossible: Operation Surma
    While it's a fair addition to the crowded stealth-action genre, the hardest part of this mission is figuring out why anyone would choose this game over Splinter Cell's soon-to-be-released sequel.

    S.L.A.I.: Steel Lancer Arena International
    Regardless of the number of variations in outfitting, the combat remains simple and unimpressive.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Frogger Helmet Chaos
    With its tight controls and diverse and rewarding levels, beautiful and engaging graphics, and its humorous story, Frogger: Helmet Chaos is sure to be a hit with audiences both new and old alike.

    Neopets Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing
    Don't have any idea what the difference between a PetPetPet, a Neopet or a PetPet is and could care less? 'Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing' is probably not for you then. For fans of the odd little beasts and their quirky little ways, the PSP release is a faithful expansion of the Neopet universe.

    Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
    Ground targets like tanks and trucks look oddly crude, and there's some very noticeable slowdown when you're flying low and strafing, especially through smoke.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
    A creative genius himself, C.S. Lewis would be proud that the developers have been faithful to his vision and that the 'Narnia' games might encourage children to explore the literary world he created.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Duel Masters: Kaijudo Showdown
    If, on the other hand, you enjoy this type of genre, it's still a solid card game, albeit no substitute for playing with real cards.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Duel Masters
    The loading times are also very long — even by PS2 standards, and people who are not fans of the card-battle genre will find Duel Masters to be slow-paced, methodical, and just plain boring, as each card battle will take at least 10 minutes, and there are many, many battles.

    Disney's Chicken Little: Ace in Action
    For such a short game, a Little goes a long way as far as we’re concerned.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner
    A solid game, but nothing special. And while certainly one of the RPG’s for the PSP yet, it’s nevertheless wise to remember that MK: Jewel Summoner benefits most from being a big fish in a small pond.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Robotron: 2084
    Another uber-retro game from the heyday of coin-op fun, this game actually holds up fairly well despite it’s very old-school graphics and sound.

    Bankshot Billiards 2
    There really isn’t much here that you haven’t seen before in a digital pool game, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a fun way to spend a few minutes killing time.

    Custom Robo
    With only a so-so single-player storyline, it's up to Custom Robo's fun but not particularly deep multiplayer modes to carry the game, and it turns out to be a little too much weight for these mini-bots to bear.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Disney's Meet the Robinsons
    A rewarding short-lived diversion but as the exceptional ‘Chicken Little’ and ‘Kim Possible’ Disney Interactive game franchises prove, it could have been and should have been so much more.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Dark Motives
    The biggest complaint that I had, and many others agree is that the game needed to be longer than just 5 cases, maybe 10 or so would have done the trick.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Digimon Rumble Arena 2
    A decent fighting game with enough twists in the gameplay to set it apart from the pack.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
    The joystick obviously offers the best option for control but the preset controls for the game are quite odd and, for me at least, changing the layout was not possible.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain
    Doesn't quite live up to the simple fun and excitement of the original game, mainly because it seems to have been designed with its co-op multiplayer mode in mind.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Gauntlet
    The worst part is, you can basically hit a button to get more and more health, as opposed to adding quarters in the arcades back in the day.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Arena Football
    All I want do is throw or run with the ball and mash as many players as humanly possible in as many ways as possible. EA's Arena Football does all of that quite nicely.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia Revelations
    With its bugs and glitches Revelations does not provide a perfect Prince of Persia experience, yet comes close, and offers a great portable game for those seeking a little action.
