Dunno about the reviews but its a slow as hell giant pile of dog feces since they decided to "upgrade" it.

I rarely use it now. Way to much crap on the pages.

Paid "professional" reviewers hold zero weight for me. We do not need to look to them in this age.

I'll give you a good example. FIFA 14. An absolute disaster of a game. The worst in the series for five years in my opinion (I played it for a month before selling it)

It gets gradings that are at masterpiece status across the board with all the paid critics.

On metacritic its average is around the high 8.5/10 with critics. With the general public, its around 4.3/10 on the same site.

Now, who would you believe? People who have played the game for at least several hours and who probably know what a football game should look like) or a hack who has a free copy and is being paid to play it for 30 mins?

I look at the AVERAGE of PUBLIC reviewers and make my mind up from that. This is common sense.

Originality

Interesting characters

Anything made before 2000 (basically before games became movies that held your hand to guide you through to the end)

FIFA 09.

Haven't played Halo 3 or any of the others mentioned, so I'm going with Fable II.

HurricaneHugo

"The best teams in the MLS can easily compete with the mid-table premiership teams"

That's the funniest thing I've read in ages.

I'd play it.

I think EA is the only one who would take it on unfortunutley.

At this late in the PSP's life, I doubt it's going to happen. You could settle for an emulated copy of Lomu Rugb on PSP. Such as the PSX version.
