That megapublisher Electronic Arts is bringing its Medal of Honor series to the PSP should surprise nobody. What is a little surprising, however, is that the World War II first-person shooter actually plays pretty well on Sony's handheld. Resurrecting three heroes from the series' past, Medal of Honor Heroes will put you through 15 missions in Italy, Holland and the Ardennes, all engineered specifically for the PSP.
We recently got a chance to try the game's campaign and Skirmish modes, and we
Turning first-person shooters into overhead-perspective action games for handhelds is hardly a new idea, but Killzone: Liberation might be the first game to really nail it. A spinoff of 2004's futuristic FPS Killzone, Liberation casts players as one of that game's characters - a commando named Templar - and runs them through blasted trenches and colossal industrial complexes in a campaign to rescue hostages from the Nazi-like Helghast army.
We recently got our hands on a near-complete version
Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) is best known for its online and offline role-playing games, so it's surprising that the company will release an all-out action title. Cash Money Chaos takes one part Smash TV and one part The Running Man, shakes, stirs and serves the concoction on ice for your PSP. The game is all about balls-to-the-wall action and in-your-face humor - a decided departure from the company that brought you the rat-killing fest EverQuest. While this is a new direction for SOE, it
The over-the-shoulder gameplay of Resident Evil 4 is popping up in a lot of PSP titles these days. Miami Vice used it, Gun Showdown will use it and now - blasphemy of blasphemies - Silent Hill Origins will too.
We've finally had a chance to play the handheld prequel to the landmark horror series, and so far, it's shaping up to be a lot more action-oriented than its moody predecessors. Starring a bearded trucker named Travis, Origins will finally reveal how the sleepy town of Silent Hill was
A little bit of the mystery surrounding Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops has fallen away, because we've got new screens, a brand new trailer and - best of all - new details on the handheld sequel to PS2's smash hit Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. To check the trailer - which offers up new plot and gameplay elements, graphic-novel-style cinematics and the first good look at the game's non-robotic Ninja - hit the Movies tab above. Just be sure to come back, because you're going to want to know the
We got our first look at Dungeons & Dragons: Tactics in May, and back then its grainy caves and blocky characters looked ugly even by PSP standards. Still, the thought of a turn-based, D&D-themed strategy game piqued our interest, and after seeing the handheld game in action, it's obvious that D&D: Tactics has come a long way in the past few months.
The setup of Tactics is simple: as a mortal caught up in a conflict between two powerful dragons, you'll build a party of 4-6 fantasy characters
Hands-on time with LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy only confirms what you already knew: If this adorable game does not make you smile, you have no soul. Of course, cute ain't everything, and that's the real reason why our time traipsing through Episodes IV (A New Hope) and V (The Empire Strikes Back ) in a preview version of this Xbox 360 action/adventure was so satisfying. Not only is the game almost huggable (all these warm-fuzzy screens are taken from the Xbox 360 version), it's a
It's not every day that you get to meet the main character of a video game, let alone get to watch him drunkenly undulate on a stripper pole in a Las Vegas hotel suite. But such was GamesRadar's introduction to lanky French madman Jonathan Choquel - better known as "Djon" - who pulls double duty as the creative director and star of Hot PXL.
When we met Djon (during an Atari event, if you were curious about the stripper pole), he was pretty enthusiastic about his collection of microgames, which
Back in April, we reported that Earthworm Jim, invertebrate hero of the 16-bit era, would soon crawl his way to next-gen consoles. Turns out we were half-right; Jim's coming back, but for now, he's only coming out of retirement on the PSP. And from what we've played of his new game - simply titled Earthworm Jim - Sony's handheld seems to suit him.
Unlike the series' disastrous attempt at 3D, Earthworm Jim doesn't mess too much with the formula, featuring oldfangled 2D gameplay combined with
Nintendo may have the whacked-out-minigame market in its iron-fisted grasp, but few of the WarioWare micro-challenges are quite as mystifying as those in WTF. The idea here is that you're trapped in a sort of personal retail Hell, forced to take repetitive jobs that make no sense, all for a meager wage that you'll just use to buy more soul-sucking items. Whoa... that's actually kinda deep for a game with moose racing.
The Drunken Mayor is a great example of WTF 's edgier minigames - you're a
