PSP Reviews – PSP Console, Games & Accessories

Firmware version 6.3 is out and as Fist Full of Potions points out, something's rotten in Denmark -- or very sweet, depending on how you feel about Japanese consoles of yesteryear. The update allows you to "group content" by putting your games into specific folders corresponding to platform, but also curiously adds empty folders for the NeoGeo and PC Engine -- otherwise known as the TurboGrafx ...

Filed under: Gaming , Odds and ends , iPhone , App Store , iPod touch That was fast — LucasArts has released the Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition out to the iPhone, and it’s available on the App Store right now for the low price of $7.99. I say low because even though that’s higher than many games for the platform, this one is not only one of the best-loved games of yesteryear, but it has also had its graphics completely redone, voiceover added for every scene and character, and a comple

There are few figures that enjoy such timeless adoration and fascination in gaming as the ninja. The formidable warriors of Japanese yesteryear have made appearances in countless games, and the Tenchu series has been a particularly popular and long-running outlet for ninja adventurers. Tenchu: Shadow Assassins finally brings the series to the PSP, being a somewhat scaled-down but still reasonably impressive port of the well-received Wii game.

App Store Review: LED Football Posted by: Christopher Meinck in reviews, LED Football, iphone, app store on Feb 20, 2009 Before the Sony PSP and even games like PacMan were handheld games like Mattel Football or if you were lucky Coleco Quarterback. Both LED handheld sports games that back in the late 70’s would generate the kind of excitement seen by kids today who get a Wii. If you are looking to rekindle a bit of yesteryear or looking to brush up on your handheld video game history, you

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Space Invaders Is Back!
Great game. Just like the old one with a modern twist. Addicting just like the old one too!

5 Stars It’s Space Invaders. It’s Extreme. It’s great.
Taito’s classic that started it all gets a facelift, and the final product is a nicely priced must-play.

Merits Great soundtrack, Addictive, Great Value, Great replayability, Outstanding update on a classic

Demerits Bad online community

If you have ever played any variation of Space Invaders but not this one, there are people laughing at you as we speak. It’s not me. I swear. Don’t look now, but the old classic from yesteryear is back and better than ever. Why, it may be better than the orignal. Don’t let the old timers hear that though.

Think of it this way: The original Space Invaders is a Cadillac. Space Invaders Extreme is a Porsche. One of the first things you will notice is the techno music, which is outstanding. The graphics are colorful. There’s actual strategy playing into the mix. Hitting 4 of the same color invader drops a power-up. There are bonus stages and bosses. The game is a steal for $20. You will be replaying the modes forev3r and ev3r. Well, maybe not, but the game has some serious replay value, maybe even more than the original. Have you said “Wow” yet?

The only bad thing about this game is the weak online community. The Vs. mode pits 1 on 1 to see who can last the longest. It’s surprisingly addictive despite being so narrow. The only problem is it takes 2 people to play, which means you’ll be sitting in the lobby for a couple of minutes before someone finally gets on. Single-card play helps if you have a DS wielding buddy. Sw33t.

Space Invaders Extreme is an achivement in handheld gaming. The updated classic holds its own in more ways than one and then some, and the portability means the most superior version of Space Invaders ever is in your front pocket. Or bookbag. You buy now, yes?

Final Line: 9.1/10, D4NG3R’s Gold Medal, DS Top Pick

4 Stars EXTREME SPACE INVADERS ROCKS!
I AM AN OLD SPACE INVADERS ARCADE FAN, I REMEMBER THE DAYS OF GOING TO THE CANDY STORE WHEN I WAS A KID, PLAYING SPACE INVADERS, DONKEY KONG, CENTIPEDE & MISSILE COMMAND. I NEVER WAS ANY GOOD AT THE ADVANCED LEVELS OF ANY OF THOSE GAMES(THANK GOD FOR POKEMON). THEN I CAUGHT A DEMO OF THIS AND I KNEW I HAD TO HAVE IT. AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS A QUICK REVISIT TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS AND THEN HAVE THEIR CHAIR KICKED OUT FROM UNDER THEM…THIS IS IT! THIS GAME BLOWS THE ORIGINAL OUT OF THE BALLPARK! A MILLION THUMBS UP!!!!

5 Stars CRAZY FUN!
I found it in the bargain bin when it was released and thought “Wow my grandma’s game again.” I decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised. I am now entranced.. I love the lights and sound and if you add the rumble cart (not included) It becomes the most satisfying casual game play ever invented. The controls are simple with left hand move and right hand shoot and as simple as that sounds it’s not. I am left frothing in anticipation for more!

4 Stars cool game
It was a great game! It is a little hard without the paddle but still enjoyable. It even has some great multiplayer on one cartridge! Great game would recommend to anyone.
