lumines may be one of the most addictive puzzle games i’ve ever played, it’s very simple idea and extremely hard to master, i personally am a big fan of puzzle games so lumines has been quite a bit of fun for me (despite my dismal skill in it), the basic idea is that you have a sweeping bar that moves across and removes blocks that are in squares of 2×2 or bigger while not letting the blocks climb up to the top of the screen

untold legends is a pretty average feeling hack and slash rpg, with some serious load time issues, the game itself is quite a bit of fun to play but the whole time you’re playing it you get the feeling that you’ve played it before that it’s a little too familar though this doesn’t hinder playing the game at all it is worth mentioning

ridge racer is easily the best arcade style racing game i’ve ever played it’s fun and easy for anyone to just pick it up and play it, it uses a heavy emphasis on drifting, this is a style that in real life i avoid when racing and even playing sim style racing games i generally avoid drifting, but in ridge racer it is simplified and made quite a bit of fun, it even rewards you for drifting via nitrous boosts, one of the other big things i like about ridge racer is that it has quite a bit of stuff from previous ridge racers, and i personally having owned alot of them (including the original ridge racer launch game for ps1) i really enjoy this bit of nostalgia

wipeout pure is a game that is a lot of fun but it makes you work for it, most people that have played this game just trying to pick it up and play it have been turned off by it, simply because that game is hard and it starts with a pretty harsh learning curve, this is not to say that the game is not a whole lot of fun, it’s just saying that it’s not a game for those with poor thumb coordination, this is game feels far more complete than any of the other psp launch games i’ve played so far, it has a variety of game modes, the robust multiplayer and downloadable content just makes this game feel like they were paitent and did this game right

so to sum up ridge racer is the racing game for everybody, lumines is a new addictive puzzle game, untold legends is a generic feeling but fun hack and slash and wipeout is a futuristic racing game that’s a bit more for the advanced gamers
