I would do X3, but I got bored of it. before I got out of the first system. My review would consist of "zOMG, suxxors", so I may have to leave it to those who played it a bit more extensively.
Age of Empires I played quite a bit, I might do that one. Definately, if i still have the thing hanging around somewhere.

I never even completed the tutorial. There was supposed to some be on-rails bit through a city that people were saying looked quite nice/crashed their PCs but I never got to it.
Is it just civ3/2/1 with fancier graphics, or worth getting?
Both. I'm not sure I've played it enough for a full review, but it's more of the same but with a few nice extras like a working religion system. I haven't played it more because a) it's quite similar to CIV3 and b) Eve.

Oh dear
The reviews I've read are horribly biased, as the guys at PC Zone can only ever convince the X fanboy to review those games, so I can never really be sure if it really is utterly fantastic.. Or if he's just drooling over bits that remind him of the other games. Thanks for the quickfire opinions guys. I will steer-clear.
I played a game on my sister's PSP where you use the analogue "stick" to tilt a table containing blobs of (what looked like) mercury. I thought it was very nice graphically, and a smart use of the hardware, but incredibly frustrating.
I'd be interested in the GTA game or Football Manager, but only so I could play them where I couldn't play otherwise, Tales of Eternia would appeal, but it's a PS1 conversion. Most of the others don't really inspire - the upcoming Katamari game might change my mind, but there's nothing out there to justify an immediate purchase, and the system price is dropping fast.
A quick blast, or puzzle games are the order of the day with a handheld system in my view - so Lumines and Mercury stand out.
I just got hold of WarioWare on the DS, and while it's simply a collection of daft touch-screen based mini games I forsee the whole family having a go this Easter weekend, and much fun being had.

Admittedly, I havent played any PSP games yet. But my housemate is nintendo crazy, so ive played many DS games. Not one of them has kept my interest for more than half an hour.
Most of them make me want to stab myself in the eyes.
