PSP Games Review #1: Best of the Best
Well it's been a while since I first aquired my PSP. I promised game reviews but I don't think I'll be able to review every game in an individual post so I'm just going to do a few at a time. Besides, there's been plenty of time for everyone else to review these, so who would care about my review anyway?
Lumines
This is probably my favorite game. It comes down to this or another. I keep coming back to it and I can't stop. The brilliant fusion between sight and sound is amazing. The premise is simple but addicting. You form 2 by 2 squares of colors and a line sweeps across the screen that eliminates them. You can add on to each 2 by 2 with 2 more blocks before the line wipes them away to make it grow. Plus there are special blocks that will eliminate all blocks linked by a block of the same color. So you can build up awesome combos. The gameplay keeps me coming back for more and the simple yet clear and beautiful visuals dazzle me and the music puts you in a trance. - 9.3
Ridge Racers
This is the competition for Lumines, and ultimately I think it is more of a favorite for me than lumines. This is THE game to show off the graphics on the PSP. The cars look great as do all the environments you race in. The gameplay is a thrill too, especially when you unlock the faster classes of cars. They also included a motion bur when you fir off your nitrous. The drifting is so much fun. It's not a challenging think to learn but it is a great challenge to perfect. There are 57 cars, 24 tracks and 5 albums of music. They bring back classic tracks and background music as well as some new stuff. If I cannot win a race the first time I do it I am so compelled to go back and keep trying till I do. I love it. - 9.5
Don't worry, there's more reviews to come. Also, on an unrelated note, I've migrated all of my entries from my old blog into this one. So if you have only read stuff on this blog, feel free to browse the archives to catch up.
