I have now created some new awards for games with the best and worst scores from Game Usagi. Here they are, you can view them any time using the Review Awards Guide in the sidebar –>:
One of the best games ever, on par with masterpieces like Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64/Galaxy:

The new Anime Movie Guide is up. It’s not complete yet, but I thought that I would put up what has been finished so that you can at least start watching some of the many good anime movies out there, ’cause there are a lot!
You can see it here:

Or at any time by clicking it’s entry in our sidebar.
Many more movies will still be added, and then it will be updated every time I see a new anime movie.
Enjoy!

P.S. Also, a podcast may be in the cards.
The Metroid Prime series has garnered a very respectable amount of interest since it’s introduction in 2002. Five years later, we find ourselves faced with the final entry in this unique series. I, like many of you, picked up this game as soon as was humanly possible and haven’t been able to move myself away from it since (hence the delay in this review).
Metroid Prime 3. Bioshock. Call of Duty 4 BETA. These games are simply amazing, and I would greatly recommend them to anyone (except maybe the CoD4 Beta, seeing as how it’s hard to get in). I’m going to play more of these right now.
Also, my FTP site is down.
More reviews coming shortly!

From the Underground (FTU) is our new section for games that, while amazing, were unfortunately overlooked when they were released. The Game Usagi has gone out of its way to dig these games up from the underground to bring to light for its readers. To start us off is a game that has quickly started taking up more and more of my portable gaming time.
Burnout has always been a good series on all of the systems that have housed its iterations. This is especially true on the PSP. Now, Sony and I have never gotten along very well. So it would take an extra special game for me to acknowledge greatness on the industry’s #2 portable. Albeit, the greatness does not neccessarily come from Sony, but from EA. Sony did, however, take the leap of faith in making an over-powered portable that made this game possible.
Burnout Legends (BL) gives gamers incredible speed, silky smooth framerate, amazing graphics, and the ability to wreck some very fancy cars. The World Tour mode is where I’ve been spending most of my time, as it presents one with varied challenges and the ability to unlock new cars and events for superior performances. With 80-some cars to unlock and a plethora of adrenaline-charged races, BL is a must for any PSP gamer, even ones (like myself) who are not in to racing games at all.
For likely the vast majority of you without PSPs, is this game a system-seller? Perhaps. I think that the PSP has other games more worthy of that title (Me & My Katamari, Crush, and Loco Roco). The PSP is a solid system, even though I enjoy my DS more. Hopefully Sony will keep trying to keep this portable afloat, as I’m anxious for even more unique, original, or just plain fun games for it.
