Previews (Page 79)

So many monkeys, so little time.

We've gone hands-on with games due out during PSP's European launch window. Click here to read an overview, then click through for previews.

Vehicle-based combat. Yeah. We went "Meh" too. Then it turned out to be a kleptomaniacal free-roaming single-player effort with lots to do strapped to a surprisingly engaging mixture of multiplayer deathmatch and racing...

In truth, we didn't expect this to do much for us. Then, in true journo-cliché-style, they literally had to wrench the PSP out of our hands...

It gives zombies a splitting headache, but is it challenging enough?

Inspired by Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. We'd take nightmares at this point. Just to sleep.

Traveller's Tales' other PSP racer besides WRC. Did we lap it up? Was it the pits? Will this strapline make it through unedited?

Rally quite surprisingly enjoyable.

Pure and simple, and much more like the WipEout we remember.

We wish Dante would shut up, but otherwise this hasn't made us cry too much in the few hours we've spent with it.

Microsoft's Gran Turismo killer or a burst radiator on the autobahn's hard shoulder? We take a first look under the bonnet.

We guide Frosty the Snowblind man through the first half of his chilly sci-fi adventures in the PS2 version of Crystal Dynamics' shooter.

A DS game you'll want to stroke, or will you give it the brush-off?

Like an act of Hamlet, except with less Danish folk.

A 2:2? Tekken the mick? [Blam -Ed]

Rising to the top of the PSP agenda.

We go hands-on with Sony's first foray into handheld gaming.

Including 20-minute over-the-shoulder video of us getting to grips with the DS for the first time. We consider WarioWare, Metroid, Mario, Bomberman, all the tech demos and more, not to mention the video demos of Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and Mario Bros.

Having spent nearly a week in its company, we consider everything the DS has to offer. And it's touching just how much there is.

First Hunt raises important questions. Like: Where does the colon actually belong? And: Does a FPS work on the DS? The answer to one of those questions awaits you inside.

That Bear's just spilt your pint. Deck him. See the difference?

We've seen 25 minutes of it. Ahead of our full interview with Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto and Nobuo Uematsu later this week, here's some of the things we learned, and some of our impressions.

In a world dominated by safe sequels, which throw in slightly improved visuals and a few new gimmicks in order to spin a buck, Team 17's latest represents a fundamental change in ideas.

We take a closer look at how Worms Forts actually works and blow up a few grannies and bishops in the process.

That deer's just spilt your pint. Deck him.
