Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Demo Ops (PSP)
Generous demo version of the upcoming PSP Metal Gear game. It looks very nice, seems to be sensibly designed for the PSP with small areas that don’t take long to get through and for the most part it works very nicely. Sneaking and shooting both work very well, but unfortunately the camera controls just aren’t good enough when things go pear-shaped and you’re desperately trying to find someone standing behind you.
It’s mostly very enjoyable and there’s an awful lot of content in the demo, but the camera’s a real problem. The answer’s probably just not to be seen by your enemies, but it’s a bit of shame that fighting your way out of bad situations is so broken.

Terminator Salvation Lite – A good effort, with the best use of a virtual d-pad I’ve found, but slightly over-ambitious. Thought has been put into providing a lot of different control options, but none of them quite feel comfortable. Metal Gear Solid Touch Lite – Very much enjoyed this.

Very, very, very good when it wants to be. But also very, very, very tedious when it wants to be. Of course, I wasn’t going in blind. I’d seen all the fuss over the Internet about the length and frequency of the cut scenes, but I’m not sure you can really prepare for it. It’s

Ah, excellent, you can go to the hospital, beat nurses unconscious and then keep them prisoner until they agree to work for you… …what?

I’m slightly confused. I need to cross a bridge, so was told to blow up a truck at the supply depot as a diversion. I did that, but I still can’t get over the bridge. It seems I need to blow something else up as another distraction, or something, but the only way to find

Didn’t actually play this today, just wandered round the centre of the village at lunchtime looking for wifi signals to try and generate new soldiers. Got three, which wasn’t bad. A couple of technicians and someone for the sneaking unit.

Ack, it doesn’t autosave! Despite telling you it does at the beginning of the game. All of yesterday’s progress lost. I must like it, though, because I’ve started again.

I’ve had this sitting around for months, if not years, after a fit of weakness saw me order it from vgp.ca after reading about how it’s great online because you don’t have to play it, you just send your team off to fight for you. Er… or something. Anyway, I just decided to try the

Well, after hours and hours of slow, slow downloads and updates I finally got online with this. Not quite sure what to think. It seems to encourage one type of play control-wise and another well, play-wise. It’s all very well to try to be sneaky and cunning, but it all boils down to speed and

Essentially, this is the same as its predecessor, based on an hour or so of play. It’s a great idea, but there’s too much text to wade through before you get to the meat of the game and it’s too hard for my poor, tiny brain. The only real change I noticed is in the
