April
7 Wonders
Aedis Eclipse ~Generation of Chaos~

The Fast and the Furious
Hard Rock Casino
Ultimate Board Game Classics


May
Legend of the Dragon
Steel Horizon
Winx Club: Join the Club
Spider-Man 3
Taito Legends 2

Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon
Why we're excited: Not only is the subtitle to Innocent Life awesome, but the game has the potential to revive the tired and true farming franchise. We haven't heard much from the game--let's hope that changes soon.

Driver 76
Why we're excited: As proven by Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto-style games work incredibly well on PSP. Ubisoft's approach takes the genre to NYC. Let's hope that the gameplay can come close to Rockstar's series.

Heatseeker
Hot Wheels Ultimate Racing
Puzzle Scape
Shrek the Third
Brooktown High: Senior Year
Diner Dash: Sizzle & Serve
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas

Coded Arms Contagion
Surf's Up
World Championship Cards


June
Fantastic 4: Rise of the SIlver Surfer
PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient 2

Crush
Why we're excited: At GDC, there was one PSP game on everyone's mind: Crush. This dimension-smashing game has the potential not only to be one of the most innovative titles on PSP, but of all games this year.

Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars
Why we're excited: It may not have the graphical polish that we'd like from a PSP game, but the Crazy Taxi franchise always offers tons of fun. Its budget price makes it an attractive addition to the library.

Hot Brain: Fire Up Your Mind
Why we're excited: Hot Brain may just be a Brain Age clone--but it looks to be a lot funnier than Nintendo's famous edutainment title.

Dungeons & Dragons Tactics
Why we're excited: This may come as a surprise, but we're big-time nerds here. So, when a new Dungeons & Dragons game gets announced for our handheld, we pay attention. Hopefully, we'll find out more about the game soon.

Super Collapse 3
Transformers: The Game
The Bigs
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Alien Syndrome

Final Fantasy
Why we're excited: You should know by now.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Why we're excited: Ever since the last game, Tomb Raider has become good again. Will the Anniversary remake hold up? We hope so.

Ratatouille
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
