There’s just no reason to get either of these versions of Iron Man (or the other console versions for that matter). I was hoping the Wii controls and High voltage development could make the game exciting and fun, but it came off very bland and ho-hum. Not terrible, but just not interesting. The PSP version is even worse because of its bad controls and limited amount of enemies. If you want to be Iron Man, go get Marvel Ultimate Alliance or something, because this isn’t cutting it.

If you've been waiting for the return of Rocket Knight, I think you'll be pleased with this effort. It's got a vibrant, modern look, but the gameplay is rooted in the 16-bit original. Gamers who don't have warm fuzzies for the SEGA Genesis original will still find an inventive platformer here. Eyebrows may be raised over the $15 price tag and short length of the game, though.

It's not like Aqua is a broken game -- it's just not that entertaining. The abundance of tricky escort missions, lack of checkpoints and little story context make it even less appetizing. Considering all the excellent arcade shooters out there, I would recommend passing up Aqua -- unless you like watching hundreds of enemy ships pulverize your allies while you look on in horror...

Metal Slug XX isn’t necessarily cheap. At $15, you only get seven stages. Sure, you can stretch the experience with co-op play or limiting your continues, but this is an arcade game at heart – longevity is supposed to come from repeat plays. But the Metal Slug experience is getting a bit creaky; too much repetition in the action and too few new ideas. That makes it difficult to excitedly get through a single run much less three or four.

It’s even worse when you see just how much fun the 2D levels are in the Wii version of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. This is what the handheld version should be like, not a kid-friendly, touch-screen focus mess that offers very little in the way of old-school gaming challenge. Ubisoft, you’ve tried it twice on the handheld. If you work on a third, let’s go back to its basics. Leave the stylus alone.

Aside from the disappointing revelation toward the end of the game, Prince of Persia is a solid experience on the PSP. It expertly treads the line between giving us a taste of what exists on the consoles and offering unique and challenging gameplay that is suited to the handheld. If not for the sloppy missteps, I would say that the Forgotten Sands would be a worthy addition to anyone’s PSP library. However, get ready for some serious frustration if you want to play this one to completion.

The Forgotten Sands is a very impressive continuation of the Prince of Persia franchise. It seems equal kudos has been given to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, but I can only speak for the version made for Wii. It’s common to get a “different” experience on Wii but it’s rare when that experience is just as impressive as the bigger systems. This version of the game is chock full of challenging gameplay and fun surprises, wrapped up in a product that really shows off some clever new Wii-centric gameplay mechanics.

This is a cheap ripoff of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. If you want to steal more cars and commit more crimes, this will let you do it. But if Chinatown Wars is a high-class escort, Car Jack Streets is a $5 corner girl.

Skate 3 is by no means a disappointing addition to the series, but those who sunk their cash into last year’s Skate 2 really don’t have much of a reason to take the plunge here. Thankfully the gameplay is still the most impressive virtual representation of skateboarding around and the new audio treatment will delight fans of the series. And I suppose if you were starved for cooperative online team play, then this edition will quench your thirst, but if it’s a truly revolutionary and progressive sequel you’re looking for, Skate 3 doesn’t fit the bill.
