Lego Batman for Sony PSP Review

Topic:

GamePyre published a review of the Lego Batman video game for the Sony PSP. Lego Batman is available on all platforms. The PSP Lego Batman sells for $27.99 on Amazon.com.
Quote from the review: "If you have children odds are that the only reason youâ€™re reading this review is to see if the game is appropriate for your youngsters. Each parent has their own style of parenting, so I hope that the review was helpful enough into helping you make the decision about this game. On the same note, if you are looking at this review because your children won't stop bugging you about Lego Batman you may want to really consider the long run ramifications of purchasing this game for your little ones. Depending on how young they are they might do more crying over not being able to do well in the game compared to the crying they do by not having the game. Read more

Nowadays even the average person has a large collection of digital music, movies, and videos... and these are usually located on the family computer. What if you want to watch your movies or share your latest vacation photos in your living room? Not everyone has a fancy media server or Media Center PC (in addition to the Media Center Extenders). So, what do you do? Read more

Topic:

Quote from the review: "When the HD 4870 launched a few months back, it did come as a bit of a surprise that we couldn’t see any 1GB models on offer. Really, in this day and age it does seem weird to have such a high-end card carry only 512MB of memory. Read more
