Top 10 Portable Games for Long Trips 3



MLB 08: The Show (PSP)

For many of us, summer means baseball. And for many of us, this summer will mean many, many hours of MLB 08: The Show. It's easily the best handheld baseball game in the history of handheld baseball games. MLB 08 builds upon the last version's superb innovations (great batting and fielding controls, to name a couple), while ironing out nearly all of its kinks (some jerky animations and framerate drops during the action).

The pitcher-batter standoff is a trip: You can feel the intensity and momentum of every swing, and the thrill of making contact. The Road to the Show is a full-on career mode with plenty to do (play through spring training, drive in a run, make contact, etc), and the entire performance gets graded, adding even more depth to the experience. Just be careful not to wear out that thumb -- you're gonna need it to control the television set and air conditioner.
