You may remember PSP Fanboy's review of Lumines II, which earned a mighty nice 9/10:"The original Lumines is considered to be one of the best games on the handheld, and it seems like Mizuguchi's team hasn't strayed too far from the original's formula. Although the core mechanics of the game remain unchanged, the new skins, and sleeker presentation make it more than a worthwhile purchase, even for people that played the original extensively."

    Another day, another box. Swag or No Swag, PSP Fanboy's holiday giveaway continues today. How does it play? There are 8 prizes in 10 boxes... 2 prizes were already awarded, meaning players will have to be extra-careful on which box they choose.

Oh, and US residents only (sorry!).Today's Winner: Tommy Zhang, from GABox 2 contained TWO prizes: a copy of Sonic Rivals for the PSP and a copy of Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2. You may remember PSP Fanboy's review of Rivals, which earned a 7/10:"Sonic Rivals is not a bad game. In fact, it builds potential for a great return to true Sonic form. If Sega approached the series with this engine and removed the racing aspect, Sonic fans would have a true gem of a game to celebrate. However, as is, Sonic Rivals is merely an entertaining, but also frustrating, romp that's a bit too short for its own good. Consider renting this one." Hope you enjoy it, Hii!Today's winner has been chosen! Visit PSP Fanboy again today at 5PM EST for another chance to win.
