    Bomberman
    If you don't have a DS and you have at least two friends with a PSP, get this game when the price inevitably drops like a stone, as Bomberman titles are prone to do. Otherwise, wait for the DS sequel, complete with online support, and leave this one for your friends looking to justify their PSP purchases.

    Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N.
    There just isn't a reason for Rengoku II: Stairway to Heaven to exist besides duping buyers into picking up a throwaway title, or, the most likely case, to get PS3 owners who've never played the PSP versions to pick up that game just because the franchise seems familiar somehow.

    Mega Man ZX
    Mega Man ZX is a bit of a misstep for the venerable franchise. While much of the gameplay is similar to what you've seen before, the wretched map system makes Mega Man ZX merely tolerable, rather than enjoyable.

    Rule of Rose
    It's at that point in Rule of Rose, when combat becomes a dominant factor but the provided elements simply don't hold up, that frustration sets in.

    One Piece: Pirates' Carnival
    With more polish and a wider variety of mini-games, One Piece would make an excellent addition to any party. Unfortunately, it falls just too short of its mark to appeal to any but the most die-hard of One Piece fans.

    NHL 07
    Those who have never laced up and assisted on a one-timer in real life might be able to look past all the faults of NHL 07, but you'd have to be blind to ignore them all. With any luck, this franchise will move on to the PS3 and improve, and never look back.

    NHL 07
    The new fighting system makes you more excited than anything currently going on in the actual NHL.

    Cooking Mama
    It’s a fantastic appetizer or after-dinner mint, however - if you need a game for those five-minute playing sessions in the bathroom or if you’re looking to get a gift for someone who has less time in their life to play, Cooking Mama could just be the Chef’s Special.

    Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales
    Where Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales falls down is in providing and engaging storyline to back up the strong gameplay.

    MechAssault: Phantom War
    All in all, as a single-player experience, Phantom War is short, fairly sweet, and utterly unremarkable. The saving grace and the final nail in its coffin come from a single point: the multiplayer mode.

    American McGee Presents Bad Day LA
    For all its initial promise, Bad Day L.A. just isn't much fun in the final analysis. The humor is lowbrow and, at times, downright mean-spirited.

    NASCAR 07
    A rehashed, lackluster game hidden behind the high-energy, let's-kick-some-butt-and-chug-some-beer rock music blaring at you from the title screen.

    NASCAR
    I am genuinely impressed by the excellence and speed of the races, and my only complaints are with the often-annoying agent in the "Fight to the Top" mode and the poor sound effects during the races.

    Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run
    With more time and polish, Nowhere to Run could have shown that Spy Hunter can move beyond the car, but for now, The Interceptor is still the more interesting main character.

    Test Drive Unlimited
    With so many challenges to complete in single-player mode, vehicles to purchase (with motorcycles rounding out a solid selection) and the inclusion of one of the best multiplayer modes anywhere inside or out of the racing genre, Unlimited is a fun title.

    Guilty Gear Judgment
    If you're an arcade stick purist, or even if you are a high-level player who uses a standard controller, the PSP hardware is far too flawed to allow for perfect gameplay. See this as a portable training ground for the home or arcade versions.

    Yakuza
    This game is what the phrase "close, but no cigar" was made for.

    LocoRoco
    A stunning achievement in modern gaming. It is entirely in 2D and uses only three buttons, but it is one of the best games available on the PSP.

    Enchanted Arms
    An excellent first foray into the next generation of RPGs for Microsoft. It's both beautiful to see and a lot of fun to play.

    Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra
    They fixed what was broken, and that should be enough.

    World Championship Poker: Featuring Howard Lederer - All In
    I didn't necessarily expect it to make me a better poker player, but I did at least expect it not make the experience of playing actually more tedious, uninspiring, and unattractive.

    Bomberman Act: Zero
    It trades off tried-and-true design decisions for things that would have made great bonuses in a better-made title.
    • 66 Metascore

    One Piece: Grand Adventure
    It includes an incredible amount of fighters from the series, and with all of the unlockables and story modes to complete, the replay value simply shoots through the roof.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
    It is proven that if you give Disgaea 2 a bit of your time, it can swallow your life. Submit to its will.

    ProStroke Golf - World Tour 2007
    The swing system is just about as complex and variable as possible, without becoming overwhelming or cumbersome to use.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Saints Row
    At the very least, it's the best-looking and -playing open-world game this side of "Oblivion" on the X360 right now.

    One Piece: Grand Adventure

    Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle
    Absolutely "worth playing." Pick up a copy, turn out the lights, and get yourself some quality heeby-jeeby time.

    Madden NFL 07
    Madden has been wasting away on the current hardware for a while now, and while it is still a good football game and has a lot to offer, it doesn't rise above and really blow away the previous version.
