PSP Preview | Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
Sept 7, 2007 Even if you've already played the original Final Fantasy Tactics for PSone, at first glance you may not recognize Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions as a remake. The gameplay is more or less the same as the original, but the story has received a huge facelift in the form of new, cel-shaded cutscenes. Ivalice seems more real than ever here, and the hand-drawn art complements the story and overall feel of the game perfectly. From the opening scene of Chocobo riders racing ...

PSP Preview | The Sims 2: Castaway
Aug 31, 2007 The Sims 2: Castaway, or "Sims 2: Guess where the idea for this came from," as we're renaming it. Clearly a Sims game - we'd recognize that mix of skill building, house construction and clothes making anywhere - EA have ignored Ubisoft's Lost license and made their own version of the TV show. Washed up on a beach, the name of the game is building a community with mysterious "other" Sims (read: the Others). A more plot-led experience this time, reaching certain skill milestones ...

PSP Preview | PSP
31 Aug 2007 Being one of the few hugely devoted Simpson's fans that religiously watches back to back episodes on cable TV every night, buys the box sets and regularly attempts to defend the recent series lack of form on the pretence they usually have at least one laugh out loud Homer moment, we've been rooting for a decent Simpsons game for years. Having to put up with people claiming that Hit 'n' Run was a 'good' Simpsons game (no it wasn't) was bad enough but the fact it turned out to be ...

PSP Preview | Sega Rally Revo
Aug 28, 2007 Sega's brand-new Sega Rally has got a lot to live up to. Few games can attract gamers over a decade after release (especially early 3D titles), but the feeling of weight, roll and momentum in 1995's Sega Rally is still as convincing now as it was on its release. We've already had a look at the PS3 and Xbox 360 version of the 2007 reimagining of the game, but now we've got the previously unseen PSP version in our hands. Can it possibly measure up to the console versions? Deep ...

PSP Preview | Silent Hill Origins
Aug 21, 2007 By now, its pretty obvious that if you wind up in thick fog staring at the “Welcome to Silent Hill” sign, then it means youve an unresolved skeleton or two in your closet. Nobody stumbles upon the town by accident, and thats exactly why we expect trucker Travis Grady is harbouring a guilty secret. He begins the game pursuing a girl he thinks hes knocked over, which eventually leads him to the towns dreaded hospital - home to many a familiar monstrous nurse who display ...

PSP Preview | SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike
Aug 20, 2007 In case there are any Fireteam Bravo fans out there who still haven't heard, the next SOCOM game for PSP won't be a shooter - which probably won't come as crushing news to most of you, seeing as traditional SOCOM never felt quite right on the PSP anyway. Instead, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike takes a real-time strategy approach, putting players in command of a four-man SEAL squad that they'll need to carefully guide through firefights, hostage rescues and other tense ...

PSP Preview | Beowulf: The Game
Right off the bat, publisher Ubisoft's adaptation of Beowulf - based on the upcoming Robert Zemeckis film, which in turn is based on a centuries-old epic poem - commits an unpardonable sin in the eyes of literary types. You might already be familiar with the story's progression: Beowulf, a mighty Scandinavian warrior, battles and slays a man-eating monster named Grendel with his bare hands. He then beheads Grendel's vengeful, horrific mother and - finally - dies fighting a dragon some 30 years ...

PSP Preview | Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
Confidence. On Sundays, on the 18th green, staring down a birdie putt for the win, Tiger Woods has it. Sergio Garcia? Not so much. After Garcia missed a putt for the win at the 2007 British Open, he lost the ensuing playoff to Irishman Padraig Harrington, and left any confidence he had in a deep bunker somewhere on the back nine at Carnoustie. As confidence plays such an important role in the game of golf, it's about time EA included it in its upcoming Tiger Woods PGA Tour game. And so it ...

PSP Preview | Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed
Our biggest beef with Destroy All Humans 2 was that it felt like the usually coldhearted alien, Crypto was more concerned with saving the world than destroying humans. But it looks like this won't be a problem in Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed. In this mouth watering follow up - set after the events in Destroy All Humans 2 - Crypto decides to open his own restaurant which features human flesh as the secret ingredient. Although capturing and cooking people serves Crypto's antipathy ...

PSP Preview | Iron Man
The Iron Man movie may still be under wraps, but at last week's E3 show Sega was pimping out an early look at the game of the movie, which includes big names like Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson and Gwyneth Paltrow. Whether any of these famous faces will take time out to speak into a microphone for the game remains to be announced but Sega's developer team has had access to most, if not all, assets from the film. Behind closed doors we saw an early level in progress that took place in a ...
