Earthworm Jim is all about the interesting invertebrate hero. The game itself is straightforward platform game, not experimenting too much with the formula. The 3D graphics are pretty sharp and in combination with the gameplay in 2D the game feels as good as the traditional 16-bit games.

This is an interesting story of a tiny earthworm called Jim. He gets attached to an alien super suit by accident. He transforms into a crazy eyed, rocket riding, raygun toting super hero with a horribly endearing voice.

Wise old Jim comes out of his retirement to a lot of action and adventure. These include blasting the crows out of the robot helmet, swinging the whip and shooting around.

Though it is early to predict, this game looks to be a lot of fun. The huge junkyard is fun filled with horrible environmental hazards and a lot of secret nooks. There are numerous tires you can have fun bouncing around as Jim. As Earthworm Jim, you can whip your body in any direction yanking it out of the suit. Have fun swinging across chasms and snagging hooks randomly and of course killing. With the help of the machine pistol, Jim can mutilate dogs in the junkyard and also blast crows.

Various interesting tricks Jim resorts to include using the jetpack to blast around instead of just jumping. Get flushed down the toilet in the junkyard and enjoy some crude humour.

There is a hint of the bonus game dance which is similar to the one in the first Jim. There are various familiar characters, two player competitions, prizes that can be unlocked and challenge modes. Game play looks to be quite interesting though it needs to be fine tuned before the actual release of the game. Months from release, this game is all set to capture those who enjoyed Jim in his early version. Graphics are good and add to the enjoyment of the game, as we can see at first glance.

Wait eagerly for the official release of Earthworm Jim and enjoy hours of excitement running around as the adorable earthworm Jim on you favourite Playstation Portable.

LocoRoco is one of the oddest games to ever hit the PSP, that’s for sure. It’s basically a platformer involving something like lava lamps. Most gamers would agree when I say that there hasn’t ever been a game like this… ever. That isn’t what makes it such a big success, however. On the contrary, it’s a success simply because it’s amazingly entertaining.

LocoRoco is the little something that’s been missing from the PSP library all this while. With the way it is presented, to its weird yet addictive visuals to the crazy infectious sounds and interface, LocoRoco has beaten most games in the PSP library in terms of style and presentation.

LocoRoco’s are basically blobs of goo, with smiley faces!! Now, your objective through each level is to take a LocoRoco from the beginning to the end of a level to the exit. As you move through 40 levels, and five worlds, the objective stays the same… get LocoRoco to the exit.

This isn’t your normal platformer, where you steer a bipedal character through a level. That’s just what it’s not. For starters, LocoRoco doesn’t have legs. In fact, the player never takes control of LocoRoco. It’s only the environment that has to be altered in order to get LocoRoco to the exit.

It’s like you hold the plane where LocoRoco is, and if you want it to move, you tilt it. You play God for Loco’s world. Navigation in Loco Roco is simplified down to the use of just the two shoulder buttons, depending on which way you want the world to tilt. This may sound awfully simple, but it’s also amazingly addictive.

Just rolling won’t really get you anywhere through. You’ll need to add in LocoRoco’s special abilities too. First off, Loco will grow in size as you eat fruit, which then lets you break loco into smaller blobs, which let’s you access previously inaccessible areas.

The environment is brilliant as well. It’s colorful and ever changing, with new visuals and new obstacles to overcome. Each stage is themed, and so it keeps you guessing what things are about.

LocoRoco is a vibrant, cheery game that keeps gamers coming back for more each time.

The name Crash Tag Team Racing basically unveils the premise of the game. The title’s protagonist Crash Bandicoot and his pals are not new to the gaming world. They have been exciting the gaming world for awhile now with all the Crash Bandicoot platform games, but now the hero and friends are here to race against each other in Crash Tag Team Racing for the PSP.

When you start playing the game you realize it has many surprises in store. According to the game storyline, Crash Tag Team Racing is organized in a giant amusement park managed by Von Clutch (a cyborg with a German accent). A tragic element is immediately added to the story as someone steals Von Clutch’s power crystal and puts the park in jeopardy. To get them back Von Clutch organizes a series of races around the park and so begins our kart racing saga.

The game features eight stylish and renowned characters, complete with distinct tracks and racing courses. And in order to complete all this races, you will find yourself wandering around the park, constructing your way around obstacles, struggling with Ninja Penguins, and collecting a copious amount of coinage. The precise goal of the player in Crash Tag Team Racing (PSP) is to collect various power crystals that automatically feed a hidden machine in one of the main five worlds. Crystals can only be won by winning the races and challenges.

The racing mode of this game actually compares very well with other traditional kart racing games, like Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing. Apart from the standard racing and target-shooting races, you can engage in time trials and a stunt mode. In terms of graphics and sound the title is extremely persuasive, as both are very smooth and help accentuate the fun gameplay. This fast-paced and upbeat entertainer is a clear winner.
