Sonic Rivals 2 is a PSP exclusive that expands upon the original 2D action-platformer by including all-new "jostling" controls for tighter competition, and a brand new battle mode that allows two players to jump into six different multiplayer challenges.
Extra playable characters (including Tails!), 12 new stages, and upgraded signature moves bring a whole new level of fun to the PSP.

Space Invaders is one of the all-time classic video games - I doubt that there’s anyone in the world over 21 who hasn’t at least tried it once. It’s one of those games that is still quite addictive now, albeit in small doses.
Instead of just giving you the basic experience, Space Invaders Extreme takes it to the next level. Futuristic graphic design and cutting-edge audio, overhauled gameplay details, and some new power-ups make for a great little title.
Asda are selling this PSP game for £12.93 - for more information, click here.
PaRappa The Rapper £3.99
28 Jun
It’s unusual for a game to invent a new genre, but PaRappa The Rapper did just that - creating the music and rhythm stuff that has been used in many games since.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the release of the original, this PSP title is faithful in every respect. The only real additions are the ability to compete against other players via wireless head-to-head battles, and there’s also some new songs to download.

Killzone: Liberation £4.99
28 Jun
With Killzone 2 coming up soon for the PlayStation 3, PSP owners may wish to take a look at Killzone: Liberation (especially at this ridiculously low price). It’s exclusively on the handheld system as well, which is nice.
Following the end of the very first Killzone, the battle against the Helghast is still raging on. Metrac (the Helghast General) is employing brutal measures in order to seize the initiative - returning as Templar, it’s your job to save hostages captured by the maniac… whilst ISA troops continue the fight for liberty.

Wrestling games have always been quite good for a laugh, as they don’t try and take themselves as seriously as other fighting games do. WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 is the latest in the WWE series of video games, and it’s probably the best one yet.
With an updated roster (which is always out-of-date by the time the game is released) and some new additional ECW stuff, this is great for all wrestling fans out there. Shame there’s no online multiplayer mode though.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which is a PSP exclusive, delves deeper into the story behind arguably one of the greatest games of all time - Final Fantasy VII.
If you’re a glutton for punishment, there’s an all-new "Hard Mode" which wasn’t available on the Japanese version. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I’ll say good…

The Need For Speed series has been incredibly up and down over the years - it started off well, seemed to be stuck in limbo for a time, and has just recently appeared to be on its way back up again. Very odd.
Need For Speed: Prostreet is the latest title, and is very probably the best in quite some time. Although still far from being as good as other racers available, it’s still good to burn rubber all around the world - although there’s no online multiplayer mode, which is a shame.

Wall-E £17.83
18 Jun
The big summer film is probably going to be Wall-E (actually, it might be The Dark Knight - but kids will be more interested in Wall-E). I’m always wary when a game based on a movie appears, so here’s hoping this is at least bearable.
All the characters from the film are present and correct, as is the voice talent. As well as reliving key moments from the movie, in the game you’ll also enjoy new storylines and explore massive environments that you won’t see in the cinema.
To get the DS version click here, for the PS2 release click here, and for the PSP version click here - all are £17.83 each at Asda.
Tom Clancy has been responsible for some of the greatest stories of modern times - Patriot Games and Clear And Present Danger spring to mind as good example. He’s also brought us some decent video game franchises as well, such as the Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six series’.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas sees the team having only one night to return order to Las Vegas before international terrorist Irena Morales acheives her ultimate objective. What they discover will not only change Rainbow itself, but could also tip the balance of power firmly in favour of the terrorists.
In order to get the PSP version of this game for £11.99 from Play.com, all you have to do is click right here.
PlayStation 3 owners may like to know that their release of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas is still available for £17.99.
