- Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days posted on 9/8/2009
- One of the premiere names in turn-based strategy makes a triumphant to Sony's handheld.
-
- Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny posted on 9/1/2009
- If you're a fan of polygonal pugilism, the PSP is probably not your favorite system, thanks in no small part to its dearth of quality fighting titles.
-
- Fate/Unlimited Codes posted on 9/1/2009
- Gamers know what to expect when it comes to fighting games: special moves, overtly sexualized characters, and fast paced combat are par for the genre.
-
- Dissidia: Final Fantasy posted on 8/25/2009
- When taken into perspective, Dissidia could've failed on so many levels. A Final Fantasy fighting game? Didn't we already try that back in 1999 with the lackluster Ehrgeiz? Still, if there's anything I've learned from my time with Dissidia it's to leave your pre-conceived notions at the door. This is Final Fantasy like you've never played it before.

- Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! posted on 7/16/2009
- Badman looks like a simple game on the surface but dig deep enough and you'll find an incredibly deep and complex strategy game albeit one that's sometimes as unwieldy as the ridiculous title. The retro vibe, quirky humor and addictive gameplay shine but the steep learning curve will only appeal to the most dedicated gamer.

- Monster Hunter Freedom Unite posted on 6/23/2009
- While it's relatively unknown franchise to US gamers, the Monster Hunter series is a beast in Japan, regularly selling hundreds of thousands of copies. Freedom Unite is the latest chapter to be released here and it retains the complexity and depth that the series is known for. However, a couple of glaring flaws almost single-handedly doom Freedom Unite and keep it from becoming a true global phenomenon.

- Class of Heroes posted on 6/9/2009
- The story accompanying Class of Heroes is as thin as school cafeteria stew. In a world seeded with underground corridors that coil through forests and around mountains, specialized academies teach youngsters how to properly spelunk through these caverns. Thus was born Particus Academy, an establishment that enlists students and instructs them on adventuring through the dangerous underground paths.

- Rock Band Unplugged posted on 6/9/2009
- They did it. They actually did it. I don't know exactly how they managed it, but the superstars at Harmonix were able to capture the rhythm-based, lighting-in-a-bottle phenomenon that is Rock Band and package it into an innovative portable package that is a must-own title for touring virtual rock stars everywhere.

- Crimson Gem Saga posted on 5/26/2009
- If you're into Japanese RPGs (meaning you're into young, androgynous heroes, who fight evil empires bent on destruction, with massively-oversized weaponry), then your pickings are fairly slim on the Playstation Portable. Fortunately for you, the PSP's Crimson Gem Saga adheres to the classic Japanese RPG blueprint pretty closely, which -- like their standard, large-breasted female characters -- can either be a pretty big turn-on, or a trite, cliche bygone.

- Patapon 2 posted on 4/30/2009
- The first Patapon was an infectiously addictive title that perfectly combined rhythm and strategy gaming into one sweet package. Now, the sequel is here and it has me chanting with joy all over again. With more content and gameplay, it's a must-have title for PSP owners.
