Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow

PSP Review

After stumbling through a few mediocre sequels and nearly disappearing altogether, the Syphon Filter series came roaring back to life on the PSP with 2006's Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror. Dark Mirror reworked the aging spy series into a kickass, gadget-heavy stealth-shooter, and its sequel - titled Logan's Shadow - keeps the same taut pace while adding a ton of cool bells and whistles to what was already one of the PSP's best action games. The story is darker, the action is more varied and the ...

NBA 08

PSP Review

Oct 1, 2007 Remember John Starks? He toiled away in basketball's minor leagues for years, working on his game until he was plucked out of purgatory by Pat Riley. A couple of seasons later, he was an All-Star point guard for the NBA Finals-bound New York Knicks. Sure, he had a few flaws - no Knickerbocker fan can ever forget his brutal performance in Game 7 of the Finals - but in the right situation he turned into a star. NBA 08 for the PSP reminds us a lot of Mr. Starks. It's taken a few ...

Jackass

PSP Review

Sept 25, 2007 An ambulance has just arrived and its lights are flashing. The Ex-Jackass director lies sprawled on the cement and the camera has been dropped. It looks bad but quickly gets worse as you learn that he's "sprained his vagina." How will the boys film their new season without a guy to hold the camera? Will they find a new professional director? Use a tripod? Become an animated series? No, it's up to you - the guy who happened to be standing there when the accident happened - to ...

Harvest Moon: Boy and Girl

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, ...

Steel Horizon

PSP Review

Sept 5, 2007 The absolute most exciting thing about Steel Horizon - and this is no exaggeration - is its misleading, deceiving box art. Steel Horizons cover shows us guns, a fury of planes in the sky, explosions, sinking battleships, and more guns. But, actually, Steel Horizon has few-and-far-between action sequences, shabby effects, awkward movement, and gameplay that makes the original Battleship game ten times more appealing, even if youre its biggest loser. Steel Horizon is a strategy ...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08

PSP Review

Sept 5, 2007 If it ain't broke, dont fix it. That must be the adage that EA Sports followed with this year's Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 for the PSP; after all, it's another solid golf title that works on virtually every level. However, there's no denying one simple fact - with the exception of a few more courses and a couple of gimmicks, it's the same game from last year. Even moreso than your typical annual sports title, Tiger suffers from a serious case of been there, done that. Of course, if ...

Worms: Open Warfare 2

PSP Review

Sept 4, 2007 With its ill-advised jump to 3D for the last few PS2 games, the Worms series somehow managed to lose two of its most important selling points - accuracy and charm. Fans of the 2D incarnation can rejoice, as old-school wormage is back for good. With Team 17 seemingly trashing that unnecessary dimension for good after realizing that fans find most love for Worms in its side-on form, Open Warfare 2 continues down this retro route to excellent effect. Landscapes now have their own ...

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

PSP Review

Aug 29, 2007 If you're going to put a shooter on a portable system - and why not? - Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 does a decent job of trying to cram the action of a non-portable console action game into the PSP. It's dropped the typical squad based combat of its counterparts, and instead you play the lone-wolf soldier Capt. Scott Mitchell. Let's get the obvious thing out of the way first: There's only one analogue stick. To be fair, we knew that when we got our PSPs, though. ...

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes

PSP Review

Aug 29, 2007 Youll be forgiven if you feel like youve played this orange-clad ninja beatdown before: its a stripped-down port of the PS2 brawler Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2, which was itself only slightly tweaked from the first Ultimate Ninja which came out just last year. So yes: if youve played one of these “3D characters in 2D worlds” bash-a-thons – or the Smash Brothers games theyre clearly styled after – you should be right at home. Which is good, because then you ...

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 ...
