While The Doctor Who Cloned me is a entertaining experience it is not going to change the minds of those who have turned their back on the main game. With a four to five hour campaign feature plenty of shooting and new locations it is worth the price but don’t expect any visual improvements or drastic changes.
Gameplay: More focused than the main game but still some annoyances.
Graphics: No real improvements over the main campaign.
Sound: Some more quips from Duke but the music is less memorable

Planet Diver is fast-paced and very addictive when played in short bursts, but the lack of mission variety does mean it can become repetitive. Still, you get a lot of content for a very low price, which definitely makes it worth the investment in time and money. Just keep in mind that quick reflexes are required when braving the deep, obstacle-filled chasms through which your wingsuit diver loves to plunge.
Gameplay: Planet Diver is fast-paced, challenging, and quite addictive, although it can become repetitive.
Graphics: It takes a while to get used to the retro-style scanlines, but the overall effect is quite nice.
Sound: The music is a little unusual but very fitting

Shattered Memories is sure to upset a few diehard fans but it is an interesting direction for the series. There are some very good ideas contained in this game but unfortunately just as much things that drag it down from being a really must-have title. The gripping storyline is enough to draw in fans of the series so if you have enjoyed the twisted tales of Silent Hill this far you might like this one.
Gameplay: A departure from the usual Silent Hill gameplay mechanics but with a gripping story..
Graphics: Some of the best on PSP.
Sound: Eerie tunes and good solid voice acting

Gameplay: Very addictive and the added mini-games are a nice touch.
Graphics: The restaurant theme is really nice and ensures plenty of visual variety.
Sound: Great voice acting and the relaxing tunes never become obtrusive or annoying

If you enjoy classic platforming action where some exploration and puzzle solving is required you will love KR-17. The developers have managed to perfectly capture the audio and visual style of a 90s era title, but made the gameplay accessible enough for modern players. The game still packs a challenge, but keeps things varied to prevent repetition. It is also priced very low, so there is no excuse to not try it out.
Gameplay: A great mixture of platforming, puzzle solving and enemy blasting.
Graphics: The game looks like it was ripped straight out of the 90s.
Sound: A great soundtrack with some nice sound effects thrown in too
