Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

It’s almost ten years since the blockbuster PSOne role-playing game Final Fantasy VII captured gamers’ hearts and made some people cry during a certain death scene – you know who you are. That game sold 4 million units in Japan alone and almost another 6 million in the US and Europe. Now it’s back as a prequel with Crisis Core- Finfal Fantasy VII for the PSP and I’m sure it’s going to sell very well if recent PSP bundle sales in Japan are anything to go by. Once again, the game takes you back to the land of mako reactors...

Worms Open Warfare 2 review

I’ve got Worms. Urgh I hear you all say but you know what I’m talking about, not the ones that sit in your stomach or make your bum itch, I’m talking about Worms with weapons and attitude in Worms Open Warfare 2. The first game on the DS didn’t quite sit as well as it should have and I actually preferred the PSP version.

Guilty Gear Judgement review

Todays review is Guilty Gear Judgement on the PSP and this one’s special because you actually get two games in one. You get the new side-scrolling Judgement game but also Guilty Gear X2 Reload which is your more traditional 2D one-on-one beat’em up. Let’s tackle judgement first. If you’ve ever played Final Fight, Double Dragon or Golden Axe you’ll know what to expect. You pick one of five characters from the Guity Gear universe and fight from left to right, with lots of enemies attacking you at once. Clear the screen and you’re told to GO to your right and...

PaRappa the Rapper review

This review is a new one on the PSP but it’s a game that came out on the PSOne a looong time ago. It’s PaRappa the Rapper and it’s a rhythm game with a great sense of humour and lots of silly songs that get in your head and won’t go away. You play a dog called PaRappa and must copy other rappers in a simon-says type game, pressing buttons on the PSP in time to the music. The first character you rap with is Chop Chop Master Onion Head in his dojo, you then go on to have a...

Slimline PSP

Its just been announced that Sony will be releasing a new slimline PSP in September in Japan, with the US and European versions following shortly after. The new handheld will be a third lighter and have a TV out socket so you can play games on your big screen and watch UMD movies. You’ll have to buy a special cable though which should set you back about 10 quid.
