No Nonsense Review: MTV's Jackass the Game PSP



A truly weird, sick and twisted game like falling down a cliff while trying to break as many bones as possible. It's also pure fun and controls great.

                                                                     A very solid 10

No Nonsense Review: Gun Showdown PSP



Good 3rd person shooter with one HUGE problem. You use the fire buttons to aim, rather than the thumbstick or control pad.

                                                               Overall score 5/ 10

No Nonsense Review: Corpse Party PSP


Corpse Party actually surprised me as this is unlike any other game that I ever played, and I really mean that. You start out with a bunch of High School kids suddenly hit with an Earthquake while still at school and the next thing they know 2 of them are in the Elementary school of the Dead and that your somewhere in limbo. Your goal is to get the HELL out of there. There isn't a lot of action more looking around for clues that will help you escape. I used a walkthrough for 2 reasons #1 Not wanting a bad ending and #2 Because I had no idea what to do. That is the biggest fault of the game it gives you no clues only vague directions where to go. Even the walkthrough makes it very clear not hit certain points within the game YOU WILL GET THE BAD ENDING!!!

Overall the game is interesting, and the overall the gameplay isn't bad. I really feel this is more or less what the Scooby Doo games should be like, rather than what we got.

My overall score is 9/ 10

No Nonsense Review: The Godfather PSP



GTA it isn't, The Godfather game actually shows you how to be a member of The Godfather's gang. Everything from Extortion to Taking over an Illegal Gambling establishment and that is just the beginning. The Godfather is so unique, and truly and interesting game right from the very start.

                                                    Overall score a Very Solid 10

No Nonsense Review: Ben 10 Protector of Earth PSP




This is the 4th Ben 10 game on the PSP I ever played, and I swear except for the backgrounds of the various levels all of them are 100% the same. Transform into an alien beat other aliens up, keep repeating this until you reach an obstacle then repeat until you get to a boss. This game is simply boring.

Overall score 4/ 10

Software Review: My Spanish Coach


I kid you not I did not even know about this until less than 10 days ago when I was going through a list of PSP games I should either buy or download. I decided to buy a copy because this is so unique, although not that expensive I paid around $7 for a complete copy on eBay including shipping. Even for a complete novice like me, My Spanish Coach is on par with mobile language learning apps such as Duolingo. You get to both see and hear the words then be tested on them until hopefully, it sinks in. But you can redo any lesson at any time, as long as you unlocked it, and that depends on your skill. Exactly like it is on Duolingo. Speaking of which you quickly get which words your not getting and can do independent study.

I give this software a 10 out of 10 for both ease of use and of how each lesson is presented more like a game rather than what you get with educational software.  

I did forget something this software is compatible with a PSP headset which the software uses to help the user to speak the words correctly. I didn't even this existed until I found the following on Amazon today for $40 I am sure there have to be cheaper ones out there.
