Sony PSP US Edition ImpressionsThe official North American release date for the Sony PSP may be March 24, but we managed to get our hands on a US Sony PSP a week early. As Sony launches its first portable platform, SCEA's EVP talks about the future of the format. Wipeout Pure is a joy to look at, and it's viscerally satisfying enough to please fans of the series and new players alike. A colorful cast, a great presentation, exciting shooting action, and wireless multiplayer combine to make this one of the safest bets you can place when choosing your first PSP games. This "remixed" version of the original delivers almost everything that was great about the console versions, and with the inclusion of four new levels, the single-player experience has gotten even better. Acid's satisfying turn-based strategy is a great fit for Metal Gear's trademark high presentation values and quirky narrative style. Ridge Racer does a fine job of showing off the system's technical prowess while simultaneously providing more of the same smooth gameplay that still holds up after all these years. Launch Title Reviews & PreviewsTiger Woods PGA Tour ReviewHe may not be the unbeatable prodigy in real life that he once was, but Tiger Woods has become just about the only game in town when it comes to golf video games. NFL Street 2 Unleashed Review NFL Street 2 Unleashed may be one of the least altered, if not the least altered, of all the console games ported to the PSP. And that ultimately works both for and against it. Ape Escape: On the Loose Review There's enough good old-fashioned platforming here to please fans of the genre. Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade Review It's a by-the-numbers hack-and-slash without much personality. NBA Review The core gameplay in NBA is lackluster in presentation and execution, making it difficult to recommend. World Tour Soccer Review If you're in the market for a PSP soccer game this season you basically have only one decision to make: SCEE's World Tour Soccer or EA Canada's FIFA Soccer. Need for Speed Underground Rivals Review Fans of the Need for Speed Underground series will feel right at home with Rivals. Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower Review Darkstalkers Chronicle is probably the best portable fighting game ever made. Gretzky NHL Review The compromises 989 made to get this game to work with the PSP hardware ultimately end up wrecking much of the fun. Spider-Man 2 Review This isn't exactly the most overachieving action game around, but it's not a bad showcase of what the PSP can do, and it's generally entertaining for as long as it lasts. Dynasty Warriors Review Diehard fans will be pleased that they can take Dynasty Warriors with them everywhere, but if you haven't been impressed by the series lately, this handheld installment won't do anything to reel you in. Lumines Review Between the beautiful presentation, the innovative gameplay, and the excellent single-player and multiplayer modes, Lumines may very well be the greatest Tetris-style puzzle game since Tetris itself.
