Daxter
Jason Rubin may have left and the rest of Naughty Dog may be hard at work on Jak X Combat Racing, but a new team called Ready at Dawn is hard at work on their spinoff Daxter, sure to be one of the first great platformers for the PSP. Taking place sometime between Jak 1 and 2 during the time when Jak is imprisoned leading up to Jak 2 - that is, before the series got all dark and brooding - you take control of that lovable little rodent Daxter, as he begins his first solo adventure as some kind of insect exterminator. Wielding a spray gun, he can use this to blast bugs or fire it downwards to propel him into the air. The platforming gameplay is pretty much the same as the PS2 Jak games, although there's no word on whether it will have the huge variety of mini-games. It's been confirmed that the PSP will link up to Jak X, so playing one game will unlock extra features in the other.

The game runs almost as smoothly as the PS2 games, and looks almost as nice as well. The only real potential problem lies not with the game, but with the PSP itself - its analog nub makes for some very poor control, and the directional pad can only do so much for 3D games. Regardless, Ready at Dawn has everything in place in transferring one of Sony's greatest properties to the portable format. Daxter is due out in the Spring of 2006.

Game Features: - Daxter allows gamers to play from his animal perspective, chronicling his back-story during the two years spent alone in Haven City and answering the questions of how he managed to free Jak. - A special “Animal” mode allows Daxter to climb walls and creep up on enemies. As Daxter is an ottsel and not a human, players will have a unique moveset with agile abilities, as Daxter can crawl on all fours, fit in small places and maneuver vehicles.
