PSP MVP Baseball Game Review
A gamer - This game, like the console version, blows away all competitors. The SCEA baseball game called MLB 2006 lost many touches that made it the only contending baseball simulator. This game has amazing graphics. However lost is franchise, which no PSP games this year will have and online mode, which MLB 2006 has. However there is still a season mode and you can create players, which you can not do on MLB 2006. MVP also has console quality graphics and the hitter's eye. For those new to the MVP franchise, the hitter's eye is very useful. Right before the opponent throws a pitch, the ball in his hand turns a color for a split second. Each color symbolizes a different pitch. This disc is definately a great buy.

PSP Tiger Woods PGA Tour Game Reviews
Smithy1185 (San Diego, CA USA) - If you want a portable golf game that is very close to matching the console versions, then look no further. This is a great game that is a lot of fun to play and take with you on the PSP. This version still has the feature where you create your own golfer with lots of customizable options. You can also upgrade their skill points after earning some cash on the green. Its true that the load times are pretty long. Easily the longest I have seen when compared to the other PSP games I have. However, don't let that scare you off from playing a great game. The controls are very well done although its not quite as easy as on the consoles. Also, this game is much better on the PSP than it is on the GBA or DS. Anyways, this game is worth getting if your a golf fan and want a new game for your PSP.

Gerald D. Avery "Movie Buff" (Chicago, Illinois) - I love playing this game. This was one of the first titles I bought for my PSP when it was released. Granted some of the load times are a bit long, but if you have some time to spend you should definitely give this game a shot. The graphics are great for a handheld game. No other game even comes close to matching it. The real fun for me is the challenge of creating a golfer from scratch and improving upon his attributes until he's able to compete with Tiger or Vijay. I play as Tiger and win as much money as I can so that I can improve my created golfer. That's the quickest way to earn lots of money so that your golfer can be competitive in a short amount of time. I highly recommend this game. I think it's well worth the $50.00 you'll spend to get it. I hope this review was helpful...

Are We There Yet? DVD for Sony PSP review
blackaciddevil (in the USA somewhere...) - Having had my Playstation Portable for, almost, a month now; I thought I'd get around to getting a movie to watch on it just to see how good things were with watching one on it. Because my choices were limited, I was stuck with choosing between this one or National Treasure. Thankfully, I chose "Are We There Yet?". I'm really glad I did because this movie is downright hilarious. The story goes a lil something like this....Nick, a playboy bachelor, and Suzanne, a divorced mother of two, is threatened by a particularly harrowing New Year's Eve. When Suzanne's work keeps her in New York City for the holiday, Nick offers to bring her kids to the city from Washington D.C. The kids, who have never liked any of the men their mom has dated in the past, are determined to turn the trip a nightmare for Nick. And, boy, is it ever a nightmare. Ice Cube turns in one of his most comedic performances in his career in this movie. I didn't think I'd like this movie too much beforehand but, after watching it, I think it was money well spent. I'm really glad it was the first movie that I got for my PSP. Which, I'd like to add as a sidenote, the PSP's capabilties of showing movies on the system is well past what I expected of it. It's high quality UMD video. I commend Sony for doing such an outstanding job with the PSP(It's, definitely, the Walkman of the 21st century). I can't wait to see what other movies will become available for the PSP now. Who knows, I might start me a whole library of them to watch on the go. Getting back to the review, however, if you hadn't seen Are We There Yet? yet....do yourself a favor and see it. It's a movie the whole family can see.

Hitch DVD - UMD for Sony PSP

Columbia Tri-Star pictures presents Hitch starring Will Smith on the new UMD Mini (Universal Media Disc) format.

Will Smith's easygoing charm makes Hitch the kind of pleasant, uplifting romantic comedy that you could recommend to almost anyone--especially if there's romance in the air. As suave Manhattan dating consultant Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, Smith plays up the smoother, sophisticated side of his established screen persona as he mentors a pudgy accountant (Kevin James) on the lessons of love. The joke, of course, is that Hitch's own love life is a mess, and as he coaches James toward romance with a rich, powerful, and seemingly inaccessible beauty named Allegra (Amber Valetta), he's trying too hard to impress a savvy gossip columnist (Eva Mendes) with whom he's fallen in love. Through mistaken identities and mismatched couples, director Andy Tennant brings the same light touch that made Drew Barrymore's Ever After so effortlessly engaging. As romantic comedies go, Hitch doesn't offer any big surprises, but as a date movie it gets the job done with amiable ease and style. --Jeff Shannon

Hitch UMD Movie for Playstation Portable review
Cenk Sumbas (Florida) - I really suprised to see such a wonderful performance from Will Smith. It is a very good comedy. Hitch (Will Smith) is a date doctor and gets always lousy guys who wants very hot and young ladies. He helps them to achieve their objective. But the last client was the guffiest accountant (Kevin James) and he wants inaccessible beauty named Allegra (Amber Valetta). They start to work together and somehow miracle happens. It is a comedy that you can watch it many times and laugh again and again.
