PSP Games: God of War, Chains of Olympus

New title for this treat should be "Kratos, the Unforgiven".

It would suck to be you man, used by the gods of Olympus for their own ends and then left to your own devices. Of course, that is the stub ending for Gow2 coming soon.

Cratos vs Kratos. Strength, Force, a Power. And also broken ... "crate toss" :-)

This is probably the most immersing and graphically stunning game that I've played on the PSP so far. Its one of those games that justify the thought and price that this "is" a Portable Playstation after all!

I think its also one of those games that make inventive use of the joystick. Also, without reading the manual it took a tip from Chachi that furiously pounding on the left-right paddles would actually get me past those pesky wall crawlers. Thanks Chach!

So far I've finished the game on default setting and am up completing the extra challenges ... sometime when I get bored and go back to finishing the last 3 tests of dexterity and timing.

PSP Games: Medal of Honor, Heroes

One of those typical World War II games. Finished it, but that is all I can really say about it.

Sad.

Ok, ok. A few words then.

Unsatisfying.

"Bitin..."

And its a good thing it just came free when I got my older PSP unit.

So you're in the war as some super solider, lets say lucky, and get shifted around to fix problems. Along the way you're supposed to discover or find intelligence to be used to win the war ... but that is all really used to get your medals. Intelligence has nothing to do with the story, just points? Tsk.

Game play felt a bit like Pac Man + Into the Eagle's Nest. The movie clips were the graphic saving grace ... sorta.
