Top 10 PSP Racing Games Of All Time

1) Isao Nakamura really outdid himself with the original Ridge Racer game, which includes two courses from the arcade-only game Rave Racer. These courses were previously not available outside of the arcade. As one might expect from a game like this, the music really rocks and received its own release. The game also features tracks from the original Ridge Racer as well as Ridge Racer Revolution, and is a well-rounded pocket racing game that packs a punch.

2) When Sumo Digital developed Race Driver 2006, they had promised that the game would be a PSP port of the Race Driver 2 console game. What fans got was essentially more than one game, though. Race Driver 2006 packs fifteen different sports into one unit. The ice racing and rally cross modes are particularly challenging, though most speed demons will want to dive head first into the street racing set. The inclusion of classic cars is a real deal maker, and the program can even support up to 21 cars racing on a track at the same time.


3) Who says that a good racing game has to be realistic? Certainly not the developers of Wipeout Pulse, who took the futuristic hovercraft racing from the Wipeout series and shrunk it down to hand held size. The game survived the transition well, and players will feel thrilled to work through the FX400 Anti-Gravity Racing League in the year 2207. Some of the tracks in this version allow for racers to magnetically lock onto the roadway and run through some huge loops. Instead of racing for trophies, players have to work hard to gain access to various grids as rewards.

4) Ridge Racer 2 takes the arcade racing of its predecessor back onto the PSP, and might be considered right up there with it. However, it unfortunately wasn't offered in every region of the world. That doesn't mean that it can't be appreciated for the great drifting action that the series focuses on. In fact, it probably handles oversteering a shade better than the following PSP game in the series.

5) If you like to rock out to the Ridge Racing series, one play through of the Earache: Extreme Metal Racing will have you head banging. The game carries the name of the British Earache Records label, and features music from bands signed to the game. As might be expected of a game like this one, there are a number of extra modes that are actually more fun than the regular racetracks. The opposition will get crushed in a Death Race, but the Death Match really brings combat to the forefront. This is a free for all that throws racing out of the window and focuses on fighting coupled with competitive action. Of course, for purists there is a three race challenge mode as well as time trials. For those who aren't racing purists, there is the Zombie Massacre mini-game.

6) As with some of the other titles, Asphalt: Urban GT 2 had an interesting release history. It actually had a version developed for mobile phones, but it clearly can't do all of the things that the dynamic PSP version can. The game can be called a spiritual successor of Need For Speed in many ways, and is probably one of the more classic games that fit into the genre on this device. Players should pay special attention to the wanted meter, which really seems to be a throw back to the Grand Theft Auto series.

7) Ford Bold Moves Street Racing is also sometimes identified by the name used for PC and Xbox versions of the game: Ford Street Racing. Regardless of what name is used, the game features quite a few Ford models that aficionados of the marquee should enjoy. The F-150, GT90, Mustang and Probe tear it up in this game from Razorworks, which also features some tuner vehicles.

8) ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails has an interesting history. More than half of all the sales of this title were made through the PSP Bundle Pack. Considering the interest in powersports among even the general population, one might have thought that there would be a real rash of titles in the genre to please fans. However, this game packs plenty of off road fun for anyone who wants to shred the dirt.

9) It might seem weird to admit that a game like the PSP port of ModNation Racers can even be taken seriously, and it was compared to LitteBigPlanet. It focuses heavily on customization, and the art style is quite strange. That shouldn't detract from the fact that this wacky game has a lot of heart and is a blast to play. It also marks one of the few points in video game history where a racing game had a decent story design.

10) Even if it doesn't have a marquee that most gamers would want to be associated with, the Hot Wheels: Ultimate Racing! game actually features thirty vehicles and competitive weapons that call to mind the kart racers that used to be so popular on console units. There are actually a pretty decent number of tricks to accomplish in the game as well.

Captain America: Super Soldier Review

In war the best thing a soldier can have as supplies would be his guns and ammunitions but that is not the case when you are super human, in Captain America: Super Soldier all you need is a shield and you are good to go on a battle head on. But that shield is no ordinary shield, abilities like boomerang it faithfully returns to its master after smashing someone’s face from 20 yards. Also withstanding the bullets that are shot at you, a complete indestructible shield. But it is the combat system of the Super Soldier that really pushes the game. Sadly the other features of the game do not stand out much such as weak storyline and low visuals but still Captain America delivers enough to give an enjoyable experience.

Usually it is hard to believe in mythical creatures until you are punched by it in the face and Captain America surely delivers it, making the Red Skull, Captain America’s archenemy, really pissed. So Red Skull has come up with a plan to fight fire with fire by making his own army of chemically enhanced super soldiers in layer or fortress. Seemingly the story looks somewhat good but the flat proceedings of the events and banal delivery of lines and unclean visuals sucks all the enthusiasm from the war.

But the combat system of the game really recolors the game, which bears a lot resemblance to that of Batman: Arkham Asylum. It is all about the timing and agility, before dropping any assault enemies flash, in that by hitting the right button you can evade their attack or perform a counter attack. Crashing the enemies with the fists full of patriotism while also jumping and leaping around the battlefield and launching attacks on foes with speed gives you a intrinsic satisfaction.

FIFA 12 Review PSP

Last Fifa 11 made a big impact as the gameplay was significantly tweaked. But as an annual iteration they aim to improve every year, so Fifa has be returned with the title Fifa 12 with not big but little but worthwhile changes.

The rumors we heard regarding precision dribbling, new physics engine and tactical defending were actually not rumors and EA really meant it. These features really pushes game to the next level, making the already strong gameplay even stronger.

The tactical defending really opens a new dynamic into the game and the first thing that the veteran players will feel troublesome is this feature. In the old “pressurize” system of defense player used to merge or gather automatically to put pressure on the opponent but now you really have to engage with the opponent, making it more realistic. Tactical defending is a little complicated stuff, now you require more skill to obtain the possession. Using the features called jockey and cotain and using them properly leads to the obstruction of the other team’s movement, leading to mistakes. As said earlier it is more engaging and you have to work more when you are carrying the ball.

Same goes for tackling; this feature has been tweaked as well. While it was the first thing to do in previous game to get the possession back quickly, tackling in Fifa 12 means the last resort. You have to time this feature now or otherwise face the consequences, try to regain the possession without using tackling or use it in dire situation.

For those who cannot change their gamestyle, they can switch between the tactical defending and pressure system. But once you get along with the new defending system you will not change back because it renders more skills and fluent and realistic approach.

Portabliss: PSP Mini Mission Impossible

Have you ever imagined downloading a game and playing it right in your hand? If yes, it’s no more a fantasy because finding a game to download play in your handheld device has become so easy one could ever think of. There internet sure has a lot of stuff to deal with it. But how is the ultimate question? How would you ever make your choice when there are loads of stuff on the internet and you are totally unsure of what to download and where to download them from?

To aid this and more, we provide you the right sort of guidance on choosing the handheld game of the week through the Portabliss portal. Be it an iPad, iPhone, PSP device, Andriod phone, tab or more, we bring to front the most popular game of the day. With that info in hand, you are left with the convenience of making your choice and thus do not have to grope around in finding the right game to sport with.

This day, we feature the Impossible Game for you to play with. Truly impossible for me to play, I just stick myself to this game for the sheer instinct I would have to place in making the success really happen, and when will that happen, I don’t know for sure!

This game, I should say, is one mode of strategy and focus. How can you concentrate and set your focus hard hitting on the game is very important and all the more important it is to make the final big hit. You are the little square that requires jumping over obstacles and hitting platforms every time. One miss and you are done. Start from the scratch! Aww… that is terrible and it makes me more terrible to keep trying it over and over again.

I can say that mere understanding how to play the game is never going to help you at all. The trick is all the more difficult and mind cracking when you need to pour all your focus at a single go. Besides all that, what keeps me ticking is the music that accompanies along the game and keeps me viable for the next try.
