If it is gut-ripping action with trademark superhero moves that are bound to enthrall you then turn to X-Men Origins – Wolverine. The game is based on the movie of the same name set to release soon. This epic-adventure action game takes you beyond the basic storyline. The developers have infused cinema quality action sequences with a stunning use of 3D movement that the PlayStation Portable has become renowned for.

The game begins with Stryker attempting to revive Logan’s (Wolverine) lost memories by using tremendous amounts of electricity. This consequently causes him to fade into his memories that form the setting for the actual gameplay. From a recon mission in Japan the plot slowly unfolds to throw some light on Logan’s violent past. The X-Men Origins - Wolverine PSP game sheds the innocent soldier drawn by forces beyond his control, to show Wolverine as a horrifically violent stone-cold killer. The developers have introduced some really hot fighting moves apart from the usual gouging and tearing to bits. Of these the slow motion lunge with his razor-sharp adamantium claws towards the enemy is an absolute delight to watch. The rage abilities unlock special powers and moves; while his feral senses could help you gain a tactical advantage over the enemy. With over a 100 different custom moves to perform and real time regenerative powers the game offers some engaging gameplay.

The detailing in not so vivid and gets pixilated which is quite frustrating considering the leap in technology. Marvel Entertainment Inc. should have gone all out to ensure that the details are richer and have smoother detailing. Apart from the death defying moves and the razor sharp claws that rip through anything the game does not have more to offer. A great buy for gamers who hanker for their pound of flesh.

Xyanide Resurrection is a shoot’em up game that is set in 3D space. Plot unfolds in an interesting animation which mimics the comic book style. It all starts with a far away galaxy that is on the verge of an interstellar war. You play as Drake who is after Aguira the evil witch. She has escaped her execution and you are after her to stop her.

Aguira has the capacity to inflict darkness to the entire space and on your spaceship you travel through territories including enemy territories trying to find her before she inflicts major damage. The animated cut scenes are vivid and tell the story in a good bit of detail.

At times, as you play this game, you feel it is a bit awkward with the player having no clue to his goal. At every level, impressive scenery surrounds the tunnels you fly through. As you fly in Xyanide Resurrection PSP, you are constantly attacked by enemy fighters. Controls are a bit off way too. Though you can turn around 360 degrees and shoot enemies, most often, as you aim to shoot, you find your spaceship going up towards the ceiling making you miss the shot. This is a very frustrating experience.

Things would have been much better with a stationary ship and right/left shoulder buttons for controlling movement horizontally. Aiming should have been assigned to the analogue.

Missions lack in exciting bonus rounds and other aspects to jazz it up. There is no spark in the levels. On the brighter side, the ships look very realistic and attractive. Visuals are great with environments looking very inviting and detailed. It is exciting to see realistic looking asteroids and planets coming towards you in this space game on the Playstation Portable. Sound and music add to the excellent visuals effectively complementing it.

Even the multiplayer mode of this game plays quite similar and is not overly entertaining. With a lot of great visuals and music gone into this game, Xyanide Resurrection topples with its bad controls and gameplay. It has all the potential which has not been tapped effectively by its makers Playlogic. It could have been handled much better.
