Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories: PSP
Pros: Free roam, hours of fun, tons of minigames.
Cons: Garage not working, graphics a bit buggy, load TIME!
In my opinion this the a full blown GTA game on a handheld. You got amazing graphics and at times it even looks better than the original on the PS2, and includes more minigames, where I even found the unique jumps fun.

As for the negative parts of the game, yes it is a bit buggy just like most GTA games. The ever famous graphic glitch are still present, so the city don't load as fast as you can drive, on some occassions you might 'fall' through the ground, and the game goes to a loading screen for just about anything (mission start, rampage etc). At one occassion I went straight from a loading screen to the hospital, something I am still curious on how it happened..

But all glitches are minor and are soon forgotten when you look at the improvements they have made on the game. If you are wasted or busted you can pay a bribe to get back your weapons, you can swim and they have even improved the boat driving experience (which still needs improving).

Great fun! The two words that

Legacy of Kain: Definance (Xbox)
Pros: Great story, great gameplay
Cons: Story based --> linear gameplay!
Crystal Dynamics has finally merged the Blood Omen series with the Soul Reaver series and given gamers the possibillity to play both Raziel and Kain in one game. You will travel all over Nosgoth, searching for a way to defy your destiny. Will you succeed?

The producers have kept the same voice actors, yet they have upgraded the game on all other places. The battle system is more complex than the prequels, now you can unlock several combos, and also perform a quick kill when you have nearly drained almost all his health. Yes, you now lift up the enemy and suck the blood out from his neck, or stab him with the Soul Reaver and rip out his soul.

The story is as intriging as ever. You finally get the full truth about the origin of vampires, and the destiny of Kain and Raziel. It's only sad that the timeline is confusing at times, seeing as you will travel back and forth in time on several occasions, so connecting the storyline in with the other games of the series can be a daunting task.

Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects
Pros: If you love multiplayer fighters, or must have anything labelled with Marvel this MAY provide some entertainment
Cons: Cheap bosses, repetitive gameplay, poor graphics, no story, and much more!
I have never expected so little of a game and been this disappointed! I knew I was buying a not so good game, but I thought I could have some fun playing with superheroes and their superpowers. I was very wrong about the fun part.

Firstly, the gameplay are incredible repetitive. You go from one place to another for no apparant reason, fighting enemies, destroying objects or throwing someone or something down a pit. That is all you do, after 5 or 7 missions you have played them all.

And just to match the repetitive gameplay, this game offers some of the cheapest bosses I have ever seen, which can drain half of your health before you get control over your character, they perform moves you can only dream about when you play as that character, and even the weakest characters to insane damage when they are in boss mode. On top of this the game also offers an instant death skill, so if your health is at danger level the boss can instant kill you, or if the boss's health are at danger level

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (PS2)
Pros: Good battle system
Cons: Short, not much new from previous games
This is the third and final instalment of the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time series, and it is a disappointing end to a great series.

The prince is still as acrobatic as previous games, you can still run up and along walls, swing jump from pole to pole, climb up threes and such. There are even some improvements on his acrobatic skills. You can now run around curved walls, and extend wall runs with your whip as the dark prince or a dagger plate, use wall shutters to reach a ledge in the far distant. The prince can even use the enviroment to perform Quick Kills of enemies instead of having to fight them of one by one.

However, there is where the improvements ends. Everything which was carefully planned in Warrior Within to create the dark and desperate mood are completely neglected in this game. The story is mildly interesting, and the overall quality of the game is mediocre.
But it is still a good game, just a lousy way to end the series.

The Mark of Kri [PS2]
Pros: Innovativ battle system that allows you to fight more than 1 at the time. Amazing graphics.
Cons: Never will be a sequel. A bit short.
I have read some reviews claiming 'this is what happens if Disney goes wrong', and I can't agree more. The graphics are real disney like, and even the backgrounds could easily fall into any disney movie, but there the similarities end.

Rau, our main protagonist, wants to become a famous hero, known throughout the world, so he sets out on his epic journey to glory. This may sound a bit like a clichè, but the story has enough twists to keep you interested throughout the game. Top that with good voiceovers, and great graphics you got the combinations needed for a great game!

The fighting system may seem, at first, a bit complicated. But with your trainer giving you advice throughout the game, and an training area which you can visit at any time during th game you will come to love this system. The right analoge stick will select targets and assign buttons to each target so you can fight up to four enemies at once. You even have a bird that can scout the area ahead of you so you can

Final Fantasy X-2 ( Playstation 2 )
Pros: You get to see some of the old characters from FFX again and revisit Spira!
Cons: Auron is gone! You never really get the RPG feeling Allot of FMV, speach, minigames!
Seeing as this is the first sequel to a Final Fantasy game I was not all that thrilled to begin with, but I really loved FFX so I thought I should give it a go, maybe it even could 'fix up' the ending of Final Fantasy X. Well, it didn't!

Throughout the game you will be frustrated by the neverending, embarrassing cut scenes and FMV sequences, annoying and dull music, endless random battles topped with a fast paced combat system. And the game is divided into chapters and percent, and going for 100%, while not impossible, while have you pull most of your hair off.

Yes, this game is terrible annoying at times, even frustrating, but other times you will find it rather fun, and amusing. There are tons of minigames, you can even play blitzball again, and the FMV, even though there are to many, are amazing to watch.

But there are more to a game than all of its minigames and due to this games frustrating nature it will at best come off as an mediocre game, and the whole RPG feeling is
