PSP Preview | Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights
Some games really dish out a kicking before you get any sort of pleasure from them, making you feel quite inadequate and full of self-loathing. (Thought you were good at games? Think again, you useless idiot.) So after countless hard nights of enduring your gamers ego getting beating after beating, it should be comforting to know that one driving game is on its way which will (metaphorically) wipe away the tears and haul you down the bar for a couple of pick-me-ups. Juiced 2 wants to make you ...

PSP Preview | Call of Duty: Roads to Victory
As far as first-person shooters go, PSP owners have been left in the cold as of late. But all is not lost; Activision and Amaze Entertainment are bringing up the rear with an exclusive installment of its uber-reputable Call of Duty series, Roads to Victory, to make you recall a time when supporting the war effort was the bees knees. So why have developers been shying away from portable first-person shooters while happily cranking them out on consoles at a rate of nearly two per day? The ...

PSP Preview | Burnout Dominator
Say you're playing any RPG or platformer, and your oversize-coated, boybandish hero is whacked with a mace over a cliff, sent tumbling down a ravine, finally grinding to a halt in a briar patch. Funny, but never a cause for celebration. So why is it, with so many racing games out there, that rolling a muscle car at 90 miles an hour is, time and again, one of the most satisfying experiences a gamer can have? Anybody who's spent a legitimate amount of time in a game like Grand Theft Auto knows ...

PSP Preview | Godzilla: Unleashed
All guy-in-rubber-suit jokes aside, who wouldn't want to be the title titan in a Japanese giant monster movie? You get to stomp around, belch laser beams, munch on some people or maybe a nuclear reactor, and demolish every single thing in your path as you defend your hood from other 200-ton freaks of nature. Then, some toy company makes an action figure that looks like you. What's not to love? This basic philosophy looks to be proven true by the latest in publisher Atari's line of monster ...

PSP Preview | Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars
In the days before Grand Theft Auto III, there was nothing quite like Crazy Taxi. A sunny, high-energy arcade adrenaline rush, it was superficially centered around picking up fares in a big, open city and rushing them to their destinations before the timer ran out. However, those who played it for more than five seconds soon realized what Crazy Taxi was really about: bombing down gigantic hills at top speed while The Offspring and Bad Religion roared over the soundtrack. It was a lot of fun ...

PSP Preview | Crush
Looking for a whole new perspective on the world? And on gaming? Play Crush for just five minutes. That's all it took for this PSP-exclusive puzzler to begin messing with our minds and altering the way we looked at, or thought about, our surroundings. The concept is completely unique... and a little genius. With the titled "crush" tool, you can flatten a three-dimensional virtual environment into only two dimensions, and then expand it back again. Why would you want to do that? Well, imagine ...

PSP Preview | Full Auto 2: Battlelines
Were back from the love tryst-sounding “Sega Loves Your PSP” day with our first hands-on impressions of the PSPs new racing-blow-upathon hybrid, Full Auto 2: Battlelines. If you remember from our previous coverage, Full Auto 2 for the PSP isnt a straight port from the PS3 version. Instead, Deep Fried Entertainment gets brownie points by building the game from the ground up and using the PS3 Full Auto sequel as a basis. Theres the standard Career mode where you race and cause ...

PSP Preview | Alien Syndrome
When will space marines learn not to investigate mysterious homing beacons on isolated spaceships? Once they get there, of course all the corridors and hallways will be dark except for the glimmer of light that faintly outlines the creature thatll devour them in one, or multiple bloody gulps. Except this time, youll be the one kicking all that ass. We recently got a chance to see the PSP version of Alien Syndrome, a revival of the classic Sega arcade shooter in which youll play as the tough, ...

PSP Preview | Burnout Dominator
Well come straight out and admit it - Burnout is GRs favorite racing series, period. Sure, we occasionally like to amble along in a Honda Civic with tweaked rear suspension in Gran Turismo 4, do a couple of laps of Tokyo in Project Gotham 3 or hurtle through a deadly canyon in NFS: Carbon but nothing, nothing quite sends the adrenaline coursing through our veins like a sweet signature or revenge ...

PSP Preview | Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
As Konami tells it, the PSP's hardware sales were in a downward spiral. Then they released Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, the game sold well, and the PSP's sales abruptly spiked. It's hard not to draw a line between those facts and the decision, which is already proving somewhat controversial, to release The Dracula X Chronicles on PSP. This compilation disc represents something that American and European gamers have been asking about for more than a decade now: a translation of the Dracula ...
