Ace Combat: Skies Of Deception

Ace Combat is a flight simulator game wherein you (the gamer) uses all sorts of jet planes to fly across the sky to eliminate the bad guys. The game's interface goes so well with the PSP controls that it makes it feel like you are flying a real plane. There are numerous missions you can engage in and a number of different locations to take flight like in the middle of the sea, mountains, cities and canyons.

The 3D environment where you take flight is impressive. The design and layout of every stage/ mission is so well measured that it makes it a pleasure to blast those bad guys.



What's also amazing about Ace Combat: Skies Of Deception, is the replay scenes, and how it shows you your flight for the whole game. There are different camera angles and views you can choose from to view the replay.








The controls aren't difficult at all and you can learn to maneuver the plane any way you want.

Ace combat has really made its mark in the field of fighter jet games.

Burnout Legends

One of the best racing games ever developed. This game is a mixture of pure adrenaline and fast ass cars. Burnout Legends is a mixture of all kinds of racing games stretching from Twisted Metal (without the guns) all the way to Need For Speed (with the crashing cars). The difference of Burnout with other racing games is the game style.

The objective of racing games has always been to reach the finish line, but what adds twist to Burnout Legends is for you to reach the finish line you would have to battle with other drivers and perform a "takedown" (taking out a fellow racer by means of smashing them to a wall, oncoming traffic or muscling them down a hill). This would give you an advantage in the race because when you take someone down, they will tend to be one second away from you.


There are also a lot of other game options in Burnout Legends aside from just racing with other rival cars. There is the "crash" game option, where the objective is vehicular mayhem. You should be able to crash as many cars by crashing into them. The more cars you get to crash into you or one another, earns you a heap of points. Acquiring more points will help you in acquiring a new car and eventually open new events.

Other game options are of course time trial, single race, pursuit and road rage. The "road rage" event is one of the best events because the objective for this race is to take out (perform "takedowns") as many cars you can before your car reaches the "wrecked" status.

Aside from the great game options and game-play, Burnout Legends is chock full of great rock 'n tunes, featuring bands like Yellow Card, Goldfinger, The Outline and other great punk bands.

Fight Night Round 3

Fight Night Round 3 for the PSP is much like the Fight Night Round 3 for the PS2. All of the characters are pretty much the same, the game play and graphics as well, which makes it really great to play specially on a hand-held such as the PSP.

The only drawback to the game is when throwing a "hay maker" (the strongest punch). Unlike the Fight Night Round 3 for PS2, you can easily control when to release the hay maker or even withdraw it if you are hesitant but it's really hard to control in the PSP. You only have the "punch strength meter" to guide you.

The PSP version also allows you to create your own character and enables you to automatically train him. So just like how any fighter would train, there must be a proper balance to his training, a balance of speed and strength, to be able to increase the fighters agility, power and resilience to tolerate punches.


With your custom character, you will be able to unlock special features and gears as you go up the ranks of being he number 1 fighter.

All in all, Fight Night Round 3 is a must play for all sport game fanatics. Another great sports game by EA Sports yet again.
