Reviews

• Ape Quest (PSP)
  "By failing to provide either a compelling RPG or mini-game experience, Ape Quest fails to deliver on any of its potential. Even with its budget price, we simply cannot recommend this game."

• Crash Bandicoot 2 (PS1/PSP/PS3)
  "Crash looks great on the small PSP screen (looks good upscaled on the PS3 as well), and has the kind of pick up and play gameplay that's perfect on the go."

  Does Sony's premiere karaoke game live up to the hype?
