A few very short reviews of some PSP games. All my own opinion of course!
Fired Up
--------
Great to play in short bursts. A bit like Twisted Metal with structured missions. Can get repetative, but still good.
7/10
Wipeout Pure
-------------
Lovely visuals, lovely music, lovely game. Addictive.
9/10
Ridge Racer
------------
Fantastic looking and great fun to play, though if you didn't like the gameplay on PS2, you probably won't like this either. Personally, I love it, though sometimes you have to wonder about that powersliding...
8/10
Everybody's Golf (Hot Shots)
----------------
Good solid golfing engine made fun by the interesting sweet characters. Possibly a bit basic compared to something like Tiger Woods, but a playable game with loads to unlock.
8/10
Tony Hawks
----------
Pretty much the same as the console version, but fun in handheld form. The face mapping is really easy, though I couldn't get my hair right! Could do with less of the annoying story though and it took time to get used to the buttons.
7/10
Need for Speed Rivals
---------------------
Hm. Played it and got quite far but it just seemed a bit shallow. Ok for a bit of street racing but pretty average.
6/10
Lumines
--------
Addictive as any puzzle game should be. Now got a copy and its great to delve into. Simple idea, well executed...almost Hypnotic.

Sorry
Sorry
Some quality titles will be out in time. Burnout this month, Battlefront 2 in October, GT Pocket next year and loads more being announced in the meantime. What's not to like?
A few more...
Virtua Tennis
-------------
Great. Just like the full blown console versions only with 4 player link up and portable!
9/10
TOCA
----
Bloomin' hard. Great simulation with loads of different races to unlock, but could have you swearing at your PSP
8/10
Burnout Legends
---------------
Best game on PSP, bar none. Fast, fun and other words that begin with F
10/10
