World Championship Poker 2, Featuring Howard Lederer Review - PS2, PSP, Xbox, PC
World Championship Poker 2 is the best poker sim any console has seen. It move fast, plays well, has a fun career mode, and the A.I. actually provides some challenge. The real fun with World Championship Poker 2 is online, with eye toy support you can try to read other player's tells. Howard Lederer should be proud to have a decent poker game in an genre with no real stars.
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim - PSP Review
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim is a port of the PS2 action RPG for the PSP. Graphically, everything is intact, and the amount of PSP exclusive extras is grand. The game may be too difficult for handheld gaming fun, however.

Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade - PSP
Yes! Champions of Norrath on the PSP! Oh, wait, it's Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade. I'm confused. It looks like Champions. It plays like Champions. It's made by Sony Online, like Champions. Hmmm... why isn't Untold Legends set in Norrath? Your guess is as good as mine. In a nutshell, it's the un-Champions of Norrath, all the fun, but none of the Everquest.
Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory, Review - PSP
Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory, the name is oddly fit. Rengoku is an action RPG for the PSP that is neither heaven nor hell, though you may find yourself and your android avatar repenting over and over again.
Ridge Racer - PSP
Ridge Racer PSP is the launch title that shows off the PSP like none other. It sounds and looks luscious, it plays fast, and it puts the Nintendo DS version of Ridge Racer to humiliating shame.
Metal Gear Acid - PSP
There's been a lot of talk about the pocket-playable Metal Gear. To be frank, it's a love it or hate it title. If you dig Pokémon, Yugi-oh, or Magic you'll adore Metal Gear Acid. If you prefer shooting to shuffling, then this may be the Metal Gear you can do without.
Indigo Prophecy Review - PS2, Xbox, PC
Indigo Prophecy attempts to revive the psycho-thriller RPG genre. There are new twists, mini-games and movie-style cinematography, but the slow, deliberate pace is back. Think of it as an American attempt to produce a Japanese style thriller, in the vein of Fatal Frame or Silent Hill.
Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup - Guest Review, PS2, Xbox, GameCube
Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup is a twist off of other sports video games. It’s slightly less repetitive, has a more exciting setting, and is a little more original than most sports games because it takes place in the fantasy world of Hogwarts, a school for wizards.
Ultimate Spiderman Review - PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC
Ultimate Spider-Man has emerged as king of the superhero hill. Amazing comic-inking (new cel-shading), solid story line, killer gameplay and outstanding animation leave gamers begging for more. This could mark the end of lame comic book videogames.
We Love Katamari Review - PS2
We really did love Katamari. It was the $20 freaky little Japanese game that could. It was constantly sold out at gamestores and even spawned homemade Katamari Damacy fashion, globally. It's no wonder than Namco would put out a sequel. We Love Katamari is the epitome of the postmodern videogame. It's self referential bizarrity will have you too singing, "We Love Katamari!"
NBA Live 06 Review - PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC

NHL 06 Review - PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC

Nascar 06 Total Team Control Review - PS2, Xbox
EA's Nascar 05 Chase for the Cup was a huge improvement for the Nascar racing series. They have refined the game in 06 with Total Team Control. No longer a solo sport, your Nascar team is the key to the checkered flag.

Psychonauts was dropped by Microsoft, and bought up by Majesco. Bless them, for now they have released Psychonauts, one of the most creative platformers of all time, on the PS2.
Red Ninja: End of Honor - PS2, Xbox
Red Ninja had potential. Everyone likes ninjas, and folks like female ninjas in skimpy outfits even more. Unfortunately this Tenchu-knockoff needed a bit more time in ninja camp, as it's a bit clumsy.
