Serious golf has its place in the gaming world, but plenty of gamers would just as soon embrace the lighter, more fantastical side of it. And there have been many great but simple golf games over years, such as Mario Golf and Hot Shots. Following in their footsteps and with a few more tricks in its bag of clubs, is Pangya: Fantasy Golf for the PSP.

Of all the curious (and exciting) concepts emanating from Sony Computer Entertainment's Japan studio (LocoRoco, Echochrome, The Eye of Judgment), Patapon may be the strangest of all. As the long-lost savior to the Patapons, a tribe of anthropomorphic eyeballs with arms and legs, you must pound out rhythmic patterns on your mystical drums (tied to the face buttons) to send your customizable minions into battle to reclaim their
A young woman sits curled up on the floor of her apartment kitchen. She holds a gun to her temple. Her hands are trembling as she prepares to pull the trigger. This is not how a typical JRPG begins. Persona 3 for the Playstation was one of the most unique and engaging role-playing games of all time with a powerful story, engaging character, and amazing artwork that carried you through 100 hours of awesomeness. We’ve been playing the heck out of Persona 3 Portable (P3P) for the PSP, so we decided to pick it apart to find out how it compares to the original…

This lightweight flight sim evolved from the popular Japanese console series Pilot Ni Narou! (Let's Become A Pilot!) but, although producer Junichi Kutusuzawa still holds the reins, development duties have been assumed by Kuju's Sheffield studio.
The team there is hoping to not just retain the games' accessibility and wide appeal, but to increase them in the transition to PSP.
The controls are necessarily and reassuringly slim; the analogue slider is the stick, while triangle and square
This June, gamers will finally be able to play as pirate captain/drunken Keith Richards impersonator Jack Sparrow when the game adaptation of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest hits the PSP. A 3D slash 'em-up adventure, the game pits players against traps, cannibals, pirates and zombies as they battle to save Jack's soul from the ghost pirate Davy Jones.
The single-player mode in Dead Man's Chest looks to be an average-y hack-and-slash brawler. Playing as Jack, you'll be able to use
A somewhat overlooked Dreamcast game, Power Stone had all but faded into the depths of our video game clogged cerebrums. That was until Capcom, in their continuing love affair with classic game collections, announced that it would be resurrecting both Power Stone and Power Stone 2 for the PSP as the Power Stone
Considering that about 70% of modern fighting games rip it off wholesale, it's kind of surprising that Power Stone is relatively unknown. A simple, 3D one-on-one fighter with simple controls, devastating super attacks and fast, easy action, it all but ruled the Dreamcast launch. Of course, that and about $3.50 will buy it coffee at Starbucks.

Though many a classic game earns due attention through a hook, given time even the best find themselves in need of something else - an excuse. Whether it's an emulator release, backwardly-compatible console or just a chance visit to a retentive arcade, it takes a modern twist of fate to give a game like Power Stone another dance.
And it deserves the limelight. What a hook, after all: to be one of the only fighters to truly exploit the opportunities of 3D, doing so across
Did you think Max Payne was badass? Did you think Burnout 3 was extreme?
Well, yeah, they were. But if you liked either of those, you'll want to check out Sony's Pursuit Force. Part racer, part shooter, the game straps players into the boots of a daredevil cop who's just joined a highly specialized anti-gang unit. His tactics? Take down the perps by leaping onto their cars, motorcycles and big rigs at high speed, shooting them in the face and jacking their rides.
That's Pursuit Force's main
