|A stunning port of the PS2 game. Surprisingly little was compromised, most importantly the controls, which work brilliantly. The game has you pilot an Armored Core- a mech you can fully customize, choosing from a myriad of weapons, upgrades, and body parts- which you then use to complete missions or battle against other ACs in the Arena. It's all really well done, and the soundtrack and general atmosphere of the game is amazing.

There's even an option to import your ''Armored Core 3 Portable'' save file, letting you jump right in with your ACs from the previous game.

|Unlike ''Silent Line'', this is not a straight copy of ''AC3'' with new content. It's its own thang. Looks and plays just different enough to throw a player off key, and many of the weapons received major nerfs. If you can manage to get settled in, though, you'll enjoy a grittier, more grounded ''Armored Core'' universe, featuring cool characters, a branching path system, and missions that will seem damn near impossible but all the more satisfying to beat.

|Differences in graphics, gameplay, and AI behavior, as well as a multitude of weapon nerfs and increased difficulty, make this game feel like a completely different beast from its two predecessors. If you can manage to get settled in, though, you'll enjoy a grittier, more grounded Armored Core universe, featuring cool characters, a branching path system, and missions that will seem damn near impossible but all the more satisfying to beat.

!Final Fantasy III
 
|RPG
 
|Everyone knows about the 3D remake of ''Final Fantasy III'' for the Nintendo DS. But some may not have not heard that it was ported to PSP, and that it was even released in the west. (albeit only on PSN) If you count the ability to play PSone classics, it is now possible to play Final Fantasies 1 through 9 using only a PSP. Beware those random battles though. Does FF3 have them? Yeah, you bet.

|Freek is a demon who wants a better life. He steals a Sacred Trident to get the hell outta Hell and get to Heaven. Poke devilish minions and utilize their skills, such as demon-boars' ramming power and squishier ones' bounciness. Feels like an early PS1 game: strange atmosphere, funky sweet soundtrack, sometimes-iffy controls, but quite fun concepts. A modern game with old-school heart (at a good price, too!). Be advised that completing the Time Trials exposes a lot of the cracks in the game design.

|High-Score seekers unite! This easy-to-learn/hard-to-master platformer has your score and dazzing finishers depend on the consecutive platforms you jump on. A fun test of reaction, concentration, and fast fingers. Quite amusing (and inexpensive!), offering nice replayability thanks to extra modes, despite Story Mode's brevity (it's a tutorial compared to harder stages). And who could resist that dashing demon, The Duke?

|Great visuals and never ending genuine space shooting fun, No Gravity offers serious entertainment even if you pick it up just for a minute. You can choose from 3 ships each with different characteristics, pick up temporary power-ups AND SHOOT SPACE ALIENS! Okay, they are not aliens, but they are the bad guys and it's up to YOU to save the GALAXY! As a plus, the whole game is about 90 MB so there's no reason not to have it.

|Comparable to Qix in gameplay concept, but you saw apart invading warships in mid-flight so they don't bomb your hometown. Also, robots, robots everywhere. Dodge them or find a way to take them out. Really nice art style and a lighthearted, but kinda sad story (one of the unlockables is a GRAVEYARD for your dead pals...) Made by the team who did the "Badman" trilogy.

It also includes an online scoring mode so you can SHOW THEM ONLINE. Better resolution in the PS3 version, but this one is just as good for quick space-shootan sessions.

|''TNT Racers'' is a 4-player weapons based top down racer utilizing an cartoonish art style and old-timey, 1920s style music. The solo campaign is short, but it's very well made and has a nice variety of event types. It can get stupidly hard though so beware.
