This Week in Review is just a little different

by Ross Miller { May 31st 2008 at 8:00PM }

They made Quake games after Quake 3? Do any of them feature Quakers? If not, no sell.

It's bad enough that we already went back in time to 2007 at the beginning of the year, but now we're warping all the way back to 2006! 88 miles per hour!

Perhaps it was some lame attempt at a PSP joke and their lack of games worth a damn? X-Men Legends II and LocoRoco are pretty much the only games I play on my PSP, but damn do I love the former. All the more reasons I can't wait for Too Human.

So I'm the only person on earth who liked Metal Gear
Ac!d 2.More people should try that game.

The PSP have a lot of games I consider AAA grade. You should try Megaman Powered UP! if you have wifi you can spend a few hours online.

I would like to recommend Metal Gear Portable ops but that damn game is really hard to find.
