Are any worth buying?

Sticky Balls

See, it's just like snooker. If you've just drunk four pints of absinthe.

Initially down as a PSP title, Sticky Balls is based around the concept of shooting balls around a table using a small cue. If balls of the same colour hit each other they'll become permanently stuck together - create a cluster of seven or more balls and it'll disappear from the table, freeing up more space to aim your shots.

It's quite tricky to get the hang of at first - there are all kinds of rules involving cue balls, bouncing off the walls and using different power-ups - but once you've got the gist it's extremely hard to put Sticky Balls down.

The graphics are great, with plenty of bright colours, sharp lines and inventive table designs, and the physics system works well. The best Gizmondo title on the shelves right now.
