One of the main players of the gaming industry, Sony has given shape to many of the outstanding games of today. Their success factor is that, the games would be related to something that had been under discussion of people. One such extraordinary game that swept the gaming markets all over the world is Jeanne d’Arc. The game was released first in the end of 2006. The sophisticated labs of Level-5 are the origin of this game.

Jeanne d’Arc is a strategic game that had its story line taken from the ancient history of France. Among the few historic characters of France, one important name would be Joan of Arc. This historical character is of great importance in the French history and also among the French. A young girl who was supposed to have been talking to God is Joan of Arc. She was a warrior who managed to unite the country and eventually fight back at the invading English forces.

The storyline of the game starts quite before the hundred year’s war with an ancient battle known as the War of the Reapers. The demon lord was fought against by the united people with the help of the sacred gems and the holy armlets numbering five. Even after several attempts, they were not successful in destroying the evil. This creates a grave situation during the hundred year’s war. A horde of creatures including the Demon Lord is released by the Duke of Bedford.

Jeanne would be initially assisted by two of her friends Liane and Roger to help her spread the word. Moving forward, she gains more allies to fight towards the liberation of France. As the player moves forward with the game, his powers could be boosted by collecting skill stones. Red, blue, green and purple are the different colored skill stones that enhance the different skills of the player. The well balanced tactical strategy and fast paced action with rich game mechanics are the attractive features of the game. But the game is not at alll an RTS like, say, Warhammer 40.000: Squad Command. Nevertheless, the extremely deep gameplay in Jeanne d’Arc with an interesting twist on a well known tale provides the necessary excitement for the players. The top notch graphics sound and gameplay of the Jeanne d’Arc makes it an outstanding one.

The word Pinball takes you on a wonderful trip down memory lane. The pinball hall of fame adds three more tables, which are very distinct from one another, to its already existing collection of tables. Each table is from a different era. This game can be played from six different camera angles, completely dependent on the player’s discretion or selection. This game of pinball is a combination of time and physics. Time clearly depends on the skills of the player. The physics here is the force with which the ball should be hit by the flippers, and totally depends on the weight of the ball.

The oldest table in this game is Play Boy from 1932, which basically resembles a slot machine. When the plunger is pulled, the only ball you are allowed to play with should get stuck in one of the holes while moving down the drain. Gradually as Gottlieb Pinball Classics progresses, the flippers are invented in the Aces High – the 1957 table. Eventually as the goals are met, the game gets ramped up to the next level. The gimmick of the game is the Black Hole – the 1981 table which can be described as a table-within-a- table. It is a very freaky setup, where, beneath the main table, there is an inset area under glass; which is further positioned in the opposite direction so that the flippers are on the top and the ball appears to roll backwards.

An outright effort has been made to make pinball different at all progressive levels. Tables at no two levels have similar features. There is always some addition to the previous one. Goin Nuts, the 1983 table, is a time based game with multiple balls being used at the same time. The timer stops ticking at the last ball.

All in all, it can be said that Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gotllieb Collection is a terrific package for the PSP. At all progressive levels this game offers you with distinct servings of fun and excitement. It is just perfect for playing in small sessions say, five minutes or the break time in-between your important jobs.
