The Warriors - hands-on

PSP Preview | The Warriors

If any developer has proven it can crank out a decent PSP game, it's Rockstar, creator of Grand Theft Auto. After the company squeezed two full-sized versions of its landmark car-crime series onto Sony's handheld, it's not really surprising that Rockstar's PSP port of The Warriors is nearly indistinguishable from the console game released in late 2005. "Nearly" means a small drop in visual quality, the absence of a second analog stick and the addition of ad-hoc wireless for co-op play, but ...

Wipeout Pulse

PSP Preview | Wipeout Pulse

Jan 3, 2008 While you were opening gifts and drinking yourself into oblivion, we spent the holiday break burning through a recent build of Wipeout Pulse for PSP, which wraps a mighty single-player campaign around the core of 2005's brilliant Wipeout Pure and adds much-desired online play. And though Europe's been rocking the final game since before Christmas, we have some new impressions of what to expect from the North American release this ...

E3 06: World Series of Poker: Tournament of...

PSP Preview | World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions

Activision's World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions picks up where last year's game left off - namely, at the poker table. This year, the gambling sim features a story mode, where you become the card-playing protege of bearded card shark Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, slowly building up your reputation and winning record to the point where you get invited to the exclusive, titular tournament. You'll find yourself among some famous company, including professional players like ...

Worms Open Warfare

PSP Preview | Worms: Open Warfare

As Worms has slithered onto just about every format imaginable since its early '90s debut, it comes as no surprise that their unique take on turn-based strategy has found its way onto PSP. It's also a no-brainer of a decision for Team 17, as the mission-based action, with it's pedestrian pace, is perfect material for handheld gaming. Team 17 have sensibly reverted back to a 2D presentation (although the levels look almost 3D) after their latest two console versions were fully 3D, and the vivid ...

Worms: Open Warfare

PSP Preview | Worms: Open Warfare

There comes a time in everyone's life where you're so damn bored or burned out that you actually flop down onto your couch watch an entire TV show about bugs, spiders and the various other creatures that inhabit your yard. At some point, they have to defend their turf from an invading 70-eyed predator, and that's kinda what Worms: Open Warfare is all about. Except both factions are armed with the latest short and long range weapons the world has to ...

Worms: Open Warfare 2

PSP Preview | Worms: Open Warfare 2

If the impending sunny weather and free-time of another pitiless summer is getting you down, you'll be happy to know that there'll still be a way to fight it out on the go. THQ's second foray into invertebrate battle is hitting a portable system near you, in the form of Worms: Open Warfare 2, and it's very much the same classic game that has made engaging in strategic warfare cuddly and addictive for well over a decade. For those who haven't been drafted onto the squirmy battle field of Worms ...

WRC: FIA World Rally Championship

PSP Preview | WRC: FIA World Rally Championship

Is sliding around on drab, dusty/rainy/gravelly rally courses your idea of a good time? Are you really into European indie music? Awesome! Then WRC: FIA World Rally Championship is for you. To be fair to the game, rally racing - where a lone driver battles the clock on a winding course - is a little drab by definition, and it doesn't help that the sport is especially popular on the mud-drenched backroads of rural Europe. So far, though, WRC does a bang-up job bringing rallies to the PSP, ...

WTF work time fun hands-on

PSP Preview | WTF work time fun

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 ...

WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2007 - PSP hands-on

PSP Preview | WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2007

2007 is shaping up to be a vintage year for fans of wrestling, fighting games or just the sight of grown men hurting each other. The genre's flagship franchise, WWE SmackDown! vs RAW, is continuing to expand from its PS2 roots to explore both next-gen and handheld territory. And while we've smashed many a photo realistic face and produced many a beautifully rendered drop of sweat in our previews of the Xbox 360 edition, we've only recently gotten our hands on the PSP entry. How does it match ...
