SOCOM : U.S. Navy SEALs : Fireteam Bravo 2 se présente donc comme le digne successeur du premier épisode et nous offre notre quota syndical d'action militaire sur PSP. Cette note finale, d'un point inférieure à celle de son grand frère, accuse néanmoins le manque d'évolutions majeures du soft ainsi que l'apparent refus des développeurs de véritablement régler les principaux problèmes de la série, l'I.A. notamment. En effet, le soft perd ici encore un peu plus de sa dimension tactique en solo et ne prend véritablement son sens qu'en multijoueur. Nul doute que ce nouvel opus parlera néanmoins aux fans de la série.

Band of Bugs reprend à son compte un gameplay simple et bien rodé dans un univers original. Aussi addictif que ses homologues, il n'a à rougir ni de sa dimension tactique ni du challenge proposé, qui prouvent qu'il ne se destine pas seulement aux nouveaux initiés. Une valeur sûre du Xbox Live Arcade, dont on espère qu'il rencontrera le même succès sur PC.

Shrek the Third isn’t a bad game; it’s an unpolished one. For the millions upon millions of movie-goers this summer, Shrek will work great as a compliment to the experience, though we can’t endorse it any further than a weekend rental. The game captures the feel of the franchise, but seriously lacks any sort of depth or attention to detail, as the game is ridden with buggy areas, odd animation glitches, and an entirely linear design. Any way you slice it, Shrek cuts corners, and though it’s still fun to rip through levels, beating up on enemies with simple combos and gag-based finishing attacks, players who want to dive in will find the waters shallow. For PSP specifically, the game brings the same style and gameplay as the other consoles, looking slightly weaker than PS2, and suffering from a bit more compression in the audio. Still, the experience is a decent one, and the one multiplayer level – though a step down from the console versions – is an added bonus for gaggles of PSP-owning Shrek fans; you’ll need another disc to play though. Still, the experience is a decent one, and the level-to-level feel makes it a fine licensed game for portable play. If you’re in dire need of some Shrek action this summer, give this one a rent. All others should save their cash for a more committed and in depth gaming experience; Shrek is thin even for a licensed title.

So again, all of the above should sound just like Mario Golf -- which is exactly what NES Open Tournament Golf is. It's Mario Golf 8-bit, the direct NES ancestor to a game series that ultimately became much more popular on the Nintendo 64 and later. It's easy to recommend on its merits as the best ever golf game on the original NES, but then, looking forward deflates that enthusiasm. Even so, fans of the plucky plumber's modern tee time outings could have a lot of fun experiencing the grandfather of their favorite game's current design. But those who've never yet hit the links with Mr. Mario would be likely better off to skip the history lesson and jump straight into present day.

Contra III: The Alien Wars and Gunstar Heroes both took up early residence on the Virtual Console, all but rendering other genre challengers from the same era to be dead on arrival. The stronger recommendation remains for those two established titles, but if you're a lone run and gun fan looking for a game you missed out on years ago, Bloody Wolf may be worth some consideration. Just don't expect any bells, whistles, or unique gameplay ideas.
