A few camera and sound issues aside, The Delusions of Von Sottendorff and His Square Mind is a pretty enjoyable puzzle platforming romp. The use of the slide puzzles and standard puzzle platforming elements, like hitting the correct switches and moving boxes around, blends well together and creates an experience where every puzzle solution feels well earned. The story is told in a way to keep things intriguing, and when it is all said and done, it turns out to be a pretty good tale. It could use some polish in the presentation area, especially with a pretty uncooperative camera, and it could also offer something once the main levels are finished, but if you're looking for something a little different, you might want to check out this game.

Scourge: Outbreak is pretty bad. The gameplay suffers from terrible AI and a good number of balance issues. Graphics are below average for this late in the console life cycle, and the sound is just as underwhelming. The controls feel like an alpha version of what has come before, and the multiplayer community is nonexistent. It may only be $10, but considering the genre and the number of games that offer more or do better for that price, there isn't much of a reason to get your shooting fix from this title.

Invizimals: Shadow Zone may sport some marginal improvements, but the core game still isn't much to talk about. With a narrative that you rarely interact with, you'll watch most of the game instead of playing it. Even when you get to control something, it feels minimal in comparison to other games of this type. Still, the allure of playing with augmented reality is impressive, and until one discovers the trick behind seeking out new creatures, the intended audience will have fun running around trying to discover new entries for their army and powering them up. While the game can't be recommended over many similar DS titles, if you only have a PSP, then this really is your best bet.
