Napoleon Dynamite: The Game

PSP Review

PSP - Napoleon Dynamite: The Game - Napoleon Dynamite: The Game

What can you do with an oddball collection of sometimes frustrating, sometimes tedious, rarely compelling, and almost always dreary mini-games? Not do justice to a quirky film like Napoleon Dynamite, that’s for sure. Yet that’s exactly what Napoleon Dynamite: The Game attempts to do with its compilation of almost 30 short and half-baked mini-games.You’ll find all your typical mini-game genres in here: from the rhythm games to ...

Patapon

PSP Review

Pata Pata Pata Pon! Pon Pon Pata Pon! Chaka Chaka Pata Pon! Pon Pata Pon Pata! These words won’t mean much to you now, but after 15 minutes in the charming company of LocoRoco-meets-Rome-Total-War-hybrid Patapon, you’ll find yourself chanting them in public. Once the tribal beats get in your head, they refuse to budge. The game is essentially a test of your ability to correctly press a handful of pre-defined button combinations in ...

Downstream Panic!

PSP Review

PSP - Downstream Panic! - Downstream Panic

We've supposedly increased our mental acuity with Brain Age (and every knockoff under the sun), yet we still had our minds melted by the vast majority of Downstream Panic! It's a nearly brilliant (and obscenely adorable) blend of puzzle solving, strategic item usage, and Rube Goldberg-like mechanisms.Like classic puzzler Lemmings before it, Downstream Panic! challenges you to manipulate the environment to guide small critters to safety, and in ...

Need for Speed ProStreet

PSP Review

PSP - Need for Speed ProStreet - Need for Speed: ProStreet

Whatever took it so long to pull into the PSP’s garage seems to have worked. As with just about anything on Sony’s portable, everything works better with the D-pad. But analog steering is still here if you want it, and the shoulder buttons function adeptly as your nitrous and ...

Bomberman Land

PSP Review

Contrary to the way most companies handle multi-platform releases, Hudson likes to make sure that every version of Bomberman Land is unique. Unfortunately, that's bad news for PSP owners. This rendition of Bomberman Land is basically just a fleeting collection of single-player minigames packaged together with a multiplayer battle mode that's similar to the one that was included with the PSP's previous Bomberman game.Other installments of the ...

Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice

PSP Review

The original Pursuit Force was a surprise hit. Here was a PSP game that played at breakneck speed and unfurled like something out of a $100 million Michael Bay movie. It was packed with car chases, balls-out firefights and ludicrous over-the-top ‘hero moments that saw you leaping from car to truck to speedboat, then unloading a clip in someones face - all the while wearing a dorky looking blue ...

Warriors of the Lost Empire

PSP Review

Are you an extremely forgiving PSP gamer who's desperately in need of a dungeon-crawling fix? Like, really, really desperate? If so, you're one of the few who might find something to like about Warriors of the Lost Empire, the US port of an obscure Japanese Action RPG. Lost Empire drops you right into the middle of a plot that's utterly generic and barely comprehensible at the same time, thanks to pages and pages of text that read like they were translated by a lolcat. It has something to do ...

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law

PSP Review

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 ...

Atari Classics Evolved

PSP Review

Jan 14, 2008 There are eleven mostly beloved arcade games from Atari's golden years: Asteroids, Missile Command, Centipede, Pong, Millipede, Tempest, Asteroids Deluxe, Lunar Lander, Battlezone, Warlords, and Super Breakout. Each appears in both its original version and the titular "evolved" version - the same game with flashier graphics and a tweak here or there, and most of which we've seen on Xbox Live. Beyond that, there are some 40 additional Atari 2600 games. Simply put, Atari Classics ...

R-Type Tactics [import]

PSP Review

Jan 9, 2008 Technically, they werent lying when they called the last game R-Type Final. This apparent sequel might look and scroll like a conventional shoot-em-up, but really its a universe apart. A turn-based strategy shooter, its a test of mind rather than reflexes. Once youve fumbled your way through the menus, you set up your attack fleet, each squadron of ships occupying one or more hexagonal tiles. Alongside the usual fighters and scouts of the R-Concept fleet, youre also responsible for ...
