PSP Review
Sept 13, 2007 If you were disappointed by the oddness of the last PSP Harvest Moon (Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon, in which you played a robot farm boy who, understandably but unfortunately, couldn't woo girls), you'll be relieved to hear of the return to normalcy in Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl. All the traditional elements you've come to love - farming till midnight, gathering herbs, patting cows so they produce milk, discovering magical creatures and berries, and most importantly, ...

Jan 15, 2008 We still remember being surprised - and slightly baffled - when Capcom announced Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law at a press event last spring. As an Adult Swim animated series, Harvey Birdman is a novel idea: a lame Hanna-Barbera superhero from the 60s revived as a modern-day lawyer that represents notable cartoon characters. It's heavy on snark, inside jokes and innuendo - but where's the game concept? Luckily, Capcom knows a thing or ten about milking a franchise, and Harvey ...

If an F-16 jet fighter blows up in the sky and theres nothing remotely interesting about it, does it make a sound? Thats just one of the many questions youll be asking yourself while playing Heatseeker. Others include “Why do all these missions feel the same?” and “What wouldve happened if Goose had never died in Top Gun?" Okay, so that last one isnt really Heatseeker-related, but youll forgive us if our mind wanders towards slightly more interesting jet fighter ...

PSP - Hellboy: The Science of Evil - Hellboy: The Science of Evil

The Hellboy comics, with their cast of classic movie monsters and folkloric freaks, wear their influences proudly on their sleeves. Likewise, Hellboy: The Science of Evil doesn’t make any show at pretending it’s not a thoroughgoing God of War clone. ...

Something that causes your brain to rapidly heat up doesn't really sound like a good thing, does it? When we initially heard about Hot Brain, our first thoughts were of monkey viruses and microwaves. So it was with some trepidation that we picked up the latest game claiming to increase intelligence through the power of minigames. Fortunately, despite the worrisome title, Hot Brain turned out to be totally innocuous (whew). Unfortunately, like so many other games trying to cash in on the brain ...

Oct 2, 2007 It had to happen. PSP has finally got its Wario Ware. Sadly, this is a charmless version of the Nintendo favorite. Following the quick-fire nature of WW, Hot Pixel is broken up into a succession of quick fire minigames. While certain games are temporarily diverting and show some character - drawing a line for a stock market crash while businessmen cry in the background - most are tedious affairs that show little imagination and repeat too often. The "urban" flavour falls flat and ...

PSP - Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 - Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2

If you're headed to the virtual links expecting something markedly different from the second portable extension of the long-running Hot Shots Golf series, think again – Open Tee 2 is a game of minor tweaks and extensive content, and aside from the advent of online play (missing from its predecessor), the game largely goes through the familiar motions. ...

PSP Review
Mix pool with high-stakes gambling and you'll get - surprisingly - an almost entirely unenjoyable game. The Hustle offers 10 variations on the classic game of billiards, though they must be unlocked over the course of a story mode that's about as engaging as an informercial, set to the strains of generic bar rock. From there, 170 vaguely distinguishable opponents await while bystanders offer side bets. No matter which locale you're mining for respect, you'll wind up wanting to nuke the place ...
