Call of Duty: Roads to Victory

PSP Review

Alert the historians: Call of Duty is on the PSP and its every bit as immersive as its console counterparts. The stock footage presentations are enough to make the greatest generation shed heartfelt tear, real life locales and weaponry are present and accounted for, and they even give names to your fellow soldiers - a practice we gave up back in ...

Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded

PSP Review

For a set of games you've probably played before, Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded does a hell of a job entertaining. Multiple Street Fighter IIs, a few takes on 1942, Ghosts 'N Goblins, Ghouls 'N Ghosts and Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts are the marquee titles, but back up pieces like Eco Fighters and King of Dragons also shine in quick bites of play. Almost all are pretty hard, by today's standards, but very fun. Like last year's PS2 version the emulation looks great on the system; even if you ...

Capcom Classics Collection Remixed

PSP Review

Every time we turn around, there's a new classic arcade game appearing on Xbox Live Arcade, or another arcade compilation hitting store shelves. And now you can carry not one, not two, but 20 of Capcom's best and most beloved quarter-munchers around with you wherever you go, all without the hassle of learning to parallel-park a semi trailer full of arcade machines. Technology, she is grand, no? Well, mostly grand, at least. This collection actually left us with a few tokens left over. The ...

Capcom Puzzle World

PSP Review

Ever wonder why Sony locks you out of running emulators on your PSP? It's so you'll buy games like Capcom Puzzle World, which compiles a handful of old brick 'n bubble coin-ops on one UMD. Good thing they made it well worth the $30. We suspect the compilation is called "Capcom Puzzle World" because "Buster Bros. World " wouldn't have sold as many copies - but three of the five games come from that coin-op franchise. The original BB is an uncluttered "pop the balloons with your spear" affair ...

Cars

PSP Review

Pixar's Cars has made a bigger splash than most film-to-game adaptations, appearing on just about every current system on a single day. But what's especially unusual about the PSP version of Cars is that it isn't a watered-down port of the free-roaming console game (which we reviewed here). Instead, it's a pure racing game that enables players to tear through three-lap tracks in the little town of Radiator Springs. For a PSP game, Cars looks incredible. The talking-car protagonists are ...

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

PSP Review

Oct 26, 2007 After years of delivering the goth-gaming goods to Nintendo's GBA and DS, Konami is finally putting the sharpened stake in the hands of PSP players with Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. The drac-slaying series makes its Sony portable debut with a re-mastered version of 1993's previously Japan-only Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. For faithful fans, this alone is enough to hammer the must-buy nail into the coffin. But add to this un-lockable versions of the original ...

Chessmaster: The Art Of Learning

PSP Review

PSP - Chessmaster: The Art Of Learning - Chessmaster: The Art of Learning

Hey, it’s chess. Well, that pretty much sums it up… just kidding. The Art of Learning doesn’t stray far from any other Chessmaster title in the past 15 years ...

Chili Con Carnage

PSP Review

Third-person action games rarely work on PSP. There aren't enough buttons to go around and thanks to the absence of a second stick, controlling the camera is a nightmare. Even Vice City Stories, currently the best of the genre, suffers from a wonky camera and stilted controls. But, somehow, Chili Con Carnage works like a charm. All the controls are sensibly placed and the camera always seems to be able to keep up, even when you're flipping backwards over someone's head and stealing their ...

Coded Arms Contagion

PSP Review

Oct 10, 2007 Despite their proliferation on consoles on PCs, the FPS genre is still sorely underrepresented on the portable systems. There are good reasons for this (inherit limitations of the portable format), but it hasn't stopped developers from trying to make a good on-the-go shooter. Konami steps up to the challenge again with Coded Arms: Contagion, a sequel to the modestly successful Coded Arms. Unfortunately, all Contagion shows us is that portable fragging has a long way to go before ...

Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars

PSP Review

Aug 29, 2007 How on Earth did it take us until now to realize that Crazy Taxis arcade-style speediferous driving provided the entire blueprint for the mega-successful Burnout series? Sure, Burnout dumped the idea of schlepping customers to and fro and replaced it with metal-shearing crashes, but the whole idea of screaming down the highway, coming as close as you possibly can to the other cars on the road without actually hitting them? Pure Crazy Taxi. Of course, thats about all there is to ...
