Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is a World War II squad tactical shooter. In the game you play as Ssgt. Baker, commander of an airborne army squad. The story is like a epic theatrical movie.

Medal of Honor Pacific now takes the fight to Japan. You play as a U.S. Marine named Tommy as well with his buddies. The game will take you about 10 hours or so to complete as you fight from Pearl Harbor to the battle of Tarawa Atoll. In the game you do a variety of missions like destroy a radio tower, oil refinery, and other missions. The AI in the game is really smart because they'll use cover and sometimes might…
AOE is probably one of the best strategy games that was ever created. Now there is an expansion to the game which includes new units, campaigns, and some other stuff. The graphics are same as well as the same game modes, units, etc. In the game there are new units, new factions, and new campaigns. There are I assume at least 30 or 40 new units. There are I think at least 4 new factions, 4 new campaigns, and another…
AOE is a HRTS game (historic real time strategy) where you command your troops, build your economy and complete your objectives like a traditional HRTS game. The graphics are just superb with trees, units, buildings, etc. But one problem is that the units and buildings will look like clones of each other. The campaign is pretty long, it will take you a long time depending what difficulty and how strategic you are.…

Rainbow Six Vegas puts you in sin city as you play as two commandos to stop terrorists from attacking Las Vegas. First of all the game isn't even look it takes place in Las Vegas. it's mostly in warehouses, house,and dams. They should call it Rainbow Six Warehouse. The graphics are just bad and the sound isn't as good either. The AI is just really, really dumb. When they spot you they sit where they are or run…
Star Wars: Battlefront II isn't much of a game that had effort put into it for the PSP. There's a very short campaign and small ad hoc multi player, but it's still pretty fun game to play with. The campaign as I said was short you just play as either one of the 4 factions. You start out with 2 planets always and the enemy have the rest. You must move your fleet into the enemy's or their planet and you engage in a…
Burnout Legends has come to the PSP. It's a great game for the PSP, but not superb. As a usual racer you have your car and race, but there is a lot more game modes. There's pursuit where you have a cop car and try to ram the guy you are trying to catch, road rage which is to take out your opponents by ramming them in the time limit or until your car gets damaged so much that it just breaks down, crash mode where you…

SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 2 is a 3rd person tactical shooter. It's a fun game with many options in it. The campaign of the game is fairly easy and short. You play as Sandman as in the first, but you get to choose your partner this time. Instead of always playing with Lonestar, you can choose him and to others named Wraith and Bronco. All of them have their own abilities. Lonestar snipes, Wraith is stealthy, and Bronco…

This game is pretty good. The multi player is fun and competitive as well as the campaign. The sounds are overall good but its just that you can lock on to people so easily and the reticule won't move off it if they are running. The graphics aren't really that good though because the people or the terrain are not that well designed and some of their faces might look exactly like others. There's also no checkpoints…

The Warriors are a gang in new York city (based on a movie) trying to fight their way home after being framed for assassinating a rival gang leader. You'll be playing as a number of characters to achieve the objectives. The game is a beat them up where you can just pick up stuff (no guns though) like chairs, bats, shanks, knifes, etc. and beat the living crap out of people with a variety of moves like punches,…
