A fun looter-shooter, but loses its luster pretty quickly. Personally, I'm not really into the grind, so unless I'm playing with friends, this game gets old really fast. Regardless, it's a great FPS, and I would still recommend it for people who love clicking heads, and looting corpses.
2017
Very fun roguelike mobile game. It's great for killing some downtime when you're on your commute, and even more fun when played with friends. I recommend this if you want a casual game to play on your every so often.
2011
Timeless block game. I will get tired of playing it every so often, but this is THE game that I will never be able to stay away from forever. Dog bless.
First GTA game I've ever played. It's pretty good, and the drug kingpin aspect of the game was very fun. This is a must have for your PSP backlog.
This entry is a return to form to the original GTA games. The gameplay is a topdown shooter, which may be jarring for people who are only familiar with the 3D and HD entries. Nonetheless, this entry is far more feature rich than any of the PSP entries. You'll be filling up molotovs, breaking into and hotwiring cars, digging through trash, and selling fun bags yourself with their respective minigames. Police chases actually feel plausible to escape, even past 2 stars. The humor is dry and sarcastic. It's hard to recommend this for people who only like the 3D and HD games, but I do recommend it for those who are aching for another classic GTA entry or those who like top down shooters.
2008
A more mature entry in the GTA series with a dark and drab atmosphere. Content is a bit sparse, and there's not a whole lot of places to spend your ill-earned cash on. It is also horribly unoptimized, and will bring even capable machines to their knees. That said, the story is pretty good, and gunplay is far more improved than in the 3D era. All in all, a good starting entry in the HD series. I recommend this game for people who are looking for more GTA content, or are into open world games.
This game is the best entry of the 3D GTA era. There's plenty of content to be had, and zany stories to witness. It's a fun story with weirdly anti-drug messaging. I recommend this for anyone who likes GTA, and for anyone who has a computer that has about as much mental fortitude as a slug with ALS.
2010
Rockstar never misses with their mainline entries, and this is a shining example of that. The best way to experience this game is either on an Xbox 360, or a PS3, but backwards compatibility is a perfectly serviceable choice. The gunplay is satisfying, and the content is plentiful. However, this does have the curse of having long downtimes between missions as you travel from one location to another. The story is gripping as you travel across three locations as a bounty hunter. I would have also preferred to have more options for being an absolute bastard in the game, but you make more money doing honest work than you ever will being less-than-spiffy. I feel this affects the freedom of choice and morality for the player, as there is very little reason to ever choose to be unethical in the game. Regardless, I would absolutely recommend this game for anyone who likes anything Wild West and open world, or looking to get into either one.
As the last Monster Hunter game released on the PSP, this entry adds a few new weapons and a whole roster of monsters. If you liked MHFU, you're going to love this game, which is why I recommend having it for your PSP backlog.
It's a game where you have to hunt for the lootboxes for hours on end to not get the materials you need. There's a lot of jank in this game, but that also gives it a lot of character. If you like the gameplay of Monster Hunter, or Soulsborne games, I recommend this game.
A surprisingly rich game with satisfying combat and progression. This also provides a lot of backstory for people who like the lore of God of War, and want to know more about the Ghost of Sparta. As such, this game is a must have for your PSP backlog.
2010
Stabby stabby, sexy sexy, stabby stabby disemboweling and world ending doom caused by the hands of the Ghost of Sparta. You are clearly playing the part of the antagonist. A man who has lost everything seeking retribution against the Greek Pantheon. Gameplay is the most polished it has ever been without changing too much, so it's going to be familiar with old fans, and satisfying for new ones. I recommend this game for people who are into hack and slashes, and those who loved the sequel GoW duology.
2005
I played this when I was far too young to do so. It's a great game that was foundational to setting the standard for what it meant to be a good hack and slash.
It's Burnout with an NFS:Hot Pursuit coat of paint. If you only look at it as a Burnout game, then it's great for what it is. Otherwise, look elsewhere for your NFS fix.
Unforgiving, and unkind. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is the main character. You are not--and the game won't let you forget it. Trek through the survival-horror RPG "lore-friendly gameplay bug" anomaly infested world of Stalker as the Marked One in search of a man named Strelok. The gameplay progression features no XP, levels, or skill trees, solely relying on your ability to adapt against different enemies and the equipment you rip from their corpses. Gunfights are grueling, and require better planning going into them. No matter how strong your equipment is, headshot means headshot. You will die if you are unprepared. However, despite the cruel nature of the game the atmosphere of the Zone is the most immersed I have ever felt in any game, and you'll find that even the long downtimes are still worth your attention as the world and its inhabitants live through their lives without requiring player interaction. Subsequent games improve on the gunplay and quality of life, but don't let the 2007 graphics fool you, as none of them surpass the feel of this game. As mentioned before, there are quite a few bugs, very few of which can't be fixed with a few mods such as ZRP. So, if you're looking for a pseudo-realistic survival horror FPS, I cannot recommend this game enough.
