300: March To Glory

Feb 27, 2007

A swords-and-sandals hack-and-slasher that actually tries some new things. It can't quite pull it all off, but it tries.

50 Cent: Bulletproof G-Unit Edition

Sep 12, 2006

Better than the full-sized actioner but so what? Its RPG style is interesting at first, but after a few rounds of killing the same guys, it's played out. Fiddy fans might try to like it, but odds are they won't be successful.

Alien Syndrome

Jul 24, 2007

Despite an interesting RPG system, control issues, blah design and repetitive blasting cause this shooter to fall short of nearly twenty years worth of anticipation.

Aliens vs Predator: Requiem

Nov 13, 2007

Aliens vs Predator is overly complex and awkward to play, but includes a decent multiplayer mode.

Armored Core 3 Portable

Oct 22, 2009

While this mech battler may well enthrall those with the patience to decipher its deep customization, Armored Core 3 Portable - only downloadable on the PlayStation Network - feels extremely dated, and its transition to handheld is awkward.

Army of Two: The 40th Day

This deadly duo of hetero life mates are back, this time fighting their way out of Shanghai.

Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines

Nov 17, 2009

Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines is exactly what Assassin’s Creed fans want in a portable port of the series – provided they have the patience to tolerate the flaws of the first game.

BattleZone

Nov 6, 2006

If you buy one hovering tank action-shooter this Holiday season, make sure it isn't this one.

Ben 10 Alien Force

Ben 10 follows the adventures of a boy who discovers a wristwatch that enables him to transform into different aliens all while retaining his 10-year-old personality. This means he's still a little wussy boy even after he turns into some big alien.

Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks

Oct 27, 2009

What do the following have in common? Echo Echo, Goop, Brainstorm, ChromaStone, Big Chill, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey, Swampfire, Jet Ray, and Cannonbolt. No, they're not all terrible band names - they're the 10 alien personalities you'll get to take control of as Ben 10 in this brand-new adventure.

Ben 10: Protector of Earth

Oct 30, 2007

Mashing buttons is basically all Ben 10 has to offer. Here's a more fitting name - Ben 7.

Beowulf: The Game

Dec 4, 2007

While this straight-forward button masher might keep fans of the film entertained, serious gamers and people who don't love the movie shouldn't bother.

Bomberman [PSP]

This is an investment if you have some local friends with PSPs, but not nearly as compelling if you don't. Classic Bomberman action demands friends to blow up!

Bounty Hounds

Sep 12, 2006

It's Diablo in space, with aliens instead of demons and guns in place of crossbows. It's also a sleeping aid.

Bubble Bobble Evolution

The classic arcade game evolves with new 3D graphics, and... well, there's probably something else, too.

Calling All Cars

The PlayStation Network criminal chase-a-thon hits your PSP so you can play 5-0 on the move.

Cash Guns Chaos

While it's not the most visually impressive game at this stage, Cash Money Chaos looks like it has a chance to compensate for any technical shortcomings with out-and-out fun.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

Oct 23, 2007

If you're a Castlevania completist, or just a fan of old school gaming, then pick up this bloodsucker. Otherwise, we suggest driving your stake through the better, more forgiving DS entries.

Chili Con Carnage

This handheld sequel to Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico promises fast, frantic action, with loads of explosions and gravity-defying special moves.

CID the Dummy

Jul 7, 2009

An amusing concept squandered on this portable due to lack of inventive gameplay causing constant frustration within this platformer. Hey, at least its semi-comical, right?
