But as much as I like word games like Scrabble, I rarely can bring myself to finish a crossword puzzle. So how does a casual gamer like me measure up to the [...]

Japanese Sony PSP fans are a pretty lucky bunch, with all those “Special Edition” PSPs and bundles out in the market. Here are just a few examples: Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G Hunter Pack (PSP-2000 Slim & Lite) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Slim & Lite PSP Limited Edition Bundle Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops [...]
