While it doesn't make many drastic changes to Dark Mirror's formula, Logan's Shadow didn't really have to. Sure, the gunfights are a little repetitive, and the top-notch third-person-shooter gameplay is a little less impressive now, given that it hasn't changed much since early 2006. The important thing is that Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow is hands-down one of the best action games on the PSP, and if you're any kind of shooter or stealth fan, you won't be disappointed.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
