Kick-Ass is a poor beat-‘em-up that feels rushed at every turn. It’s certainly better than the iPhone version which I had the great misfortune of playing earlier this week, but that was the lowest of hurdles. The action is incredibly repetitious and unoriginal, even if you choose different characters. The pacing is all over the place. The technical issues with the camera and slowdown are bizarre. There are way too many good PSN downloads to grab instead of wasting your time and money on this.

2010 FIFA World Cup is a passable effort that fanatical soccer fans will want to pick up for their next road trip. There’s a good amount of content under the hood, but I would have liked to see some seriously refined gameplay, new mechanics and a few features that helped to differentiate this latest FIFA iteration on PSP from its big brothers on consoles. As it stands, this one just isn’t up to spec.

Trauma Team's greatest moments emerge in the surgery and first response chapters, because they're fast-paced, thrilling and they require a fair amount of skill and speed to complete (especially if you're going for a high ranking). I also enjoyed the forensics sections -- even if they were occasionally unintuitive -- because they presented intriguing scenarios and a few cool puzzles. Unfortunately, the diagnosis and endoscopy chapters leave something to be desired, making Trauma Team something of a mixed bag. Nothing in this medical drama is unplayable, but it's still disappointing that the rest of the game couldn't live up to the exhilarating potential of virtually performing surgery. That said, I enjoyed Trauma Team, despite the issues. But maybe I just really like saving lives.

Uno for the PSP is another fine port of the classic series thanks to Gameloft’s clean recreation of the card game. The colorful display is easy to read and manipulating your cards is simple. Setting up online games is easy. Although you could probably score an actual deck for about the same price as this download, consider the likelihood that you can cajole three friends into playing Uno whenever you want. You can’t, which is all the justification this download needs.

Puzzle Quest super fans will be able to look past Chronicles' awful visuals and enjoy the fantasy puzzling it offers on the inside. But it is ugly as sin and doesn't do anything remarkably different from its inspiration. Let me put it this way: If Puzzle Quest is a super hot girl, Puzzle Chronicles is her homely friend with a nice personality.

Even if it doesn't have the same kind revitalizing effect on the genre as its predecessor, Super Street Fighter IV is an easy recommendation. It's the superior version of one of the best fighting games around, offering a huge cast of 35 characters along with a far more developed online suite compared to the original version. The gameplay is fast, fun and easy to dig into, and deep enough so that you're always discovering new ways to chain combos and improve your skills. Whether you're a franchise veteran or a total newcomer, you can't go wrong with Super Street Fighter IV.

Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake multiplayer is fun at times, but the fact that it wasn’t designed with the PSP in mind shines though and hurts the experience. SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 lets me talk to my teammates, Resistance: Retribution lets me make friends and play with them, and both of those games offer quality single-player campaigns that are fun to play through when the Internet isn’t an option. That isn’t the case with Fat Princess. Sure, if you can get a roomful of ad-hoc friends together or the online community booms with players who know what they’re doing, Fat Princess is a blast, but more often than not, it left me wanting.

If you're looking for a pure arcade-style I-need-to-be-the-high-scorer experience then Climax is an easy pick. It's not as deep or nuanced as some of the other downloadable games out there, but sometimes that isn't what you need, either. Just like a climax in real life, After Burner is fun for a few moments, but once you've peaked for the night you're ready to move on to the next good time.

Chaos Rings is not an amazing adventure game for the iPhone. It is an amazing adventure game – period. This battle-heavy RPG is loaded with dozens of hours of play across four sets of heroes. The narrative is excellent, as is the character development. It is easy to control in both exploration and battle scenes thanks to clean, smart virtual controls. There is real depth to the battle system, too, as you weigh the risks of solo or pair attacks versus exposure to enemy blows, and how this can affect the flow of the fight. My big complaint is the out-of-place series of puzzle rooms that just slow things down. Otherwise, this is a wonderful RPG that any Square fan or adventure gamer would be crazy to miss.

There were a few moments I yelled at the TV while playing Dead to Rights: Retribution, but those moments that actually elicited an emotion passed relatively quickly. In the end, I remember Jack’s “so bad it’s good” dialogue and the Shadow missions more than anything else. From there, Dead to Rights: Retribution is just another third-person shooter. Go here, kill them, do it again. It’s rough around the edges –- shadows look like crap on people’s faces and the enemies aren’t smart –- but it could be worse. Of course, that also means that it could be a lot better.

The Lost & Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony are the perfect way to close out the GTA IV saga. Finally, we know what happened to the diamonds stolen in the main story two years ago. Though Johnny and Luis don't have very interesting storylines, there are some fantastic additions to the supporting cast. The voice acting is superb, there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, the presentation is amazing and there's still the wonder that is Liberty City for you to explore. Sure, it's pretty much the same place you saw as Niko in GTA IV, but it's still an incredible creation. It's probably been a long while since you last ventured into Liberty City. Take this opportunity to pick up a great collection of two additional campaigns. You might be surprised to discover how much you missed the noisy, crowded streets.

Conviction is a Splinter Cell game in name more than anything else. You could easily swap Sam Fisher for Jack Bauer or create an all new character and no one would give it a second thought. The gameplay is fast, and Sam has been transformed into the ultimate killer. It's an amazing game, but so different from its predecessors you might not recognize it. Despite a few questionable level design choices, Splinter Cell Conviction is a great addition to the series. There's no way I could go back to a stealth game as it used to be; I've been converted. The only reason to hesitate and pick this up is if you only care about the single-player story and want nothing to do with anything else Conviction has to offer. If that's the case, then there's not a lot of game to be had. And also, you're nuts. The best parts of Conviction are the experiences you have long after you've left Sam Fisher behind.
