For $11,995, you can terrorize your burg at ...

Question: I'm planning a vacation with my wife and kids this summer, and I want one camera to cover it all.

Final Fantasy: Crisis Core (PSP) If you're enough of a gamer to own a PSP, you know by now whether or not Final Fantasy is "your thing." The feminized male lead, the cute sidekicks, the absurd storylines -- they're not for everyone. But if you've ever fallen in love with a FF game in the past, Crisis Core should be right up your alley: It superbly balances nostalgia with a more understated ...

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 ...

FlatOut: Head On (PSP) For those keeping score at home, FlatOut: Head On is basically a remake of FlatOut 2 for the Xbox. The concept is simple: Buy a bunch of cars, race them to earn cash, upgrade your cars ... and, like Burnout, destroy everything in sight. The racing itself is superb: The tracks all feel inspired and full of stunt opportunities, and the AI (artificial intelligence) of ...

Patapon (PSP) For those looking for something a little bit different, Patapon is a gorgeous, experimental experience in music-based gameplay, with super-cute, minimalist visuals that recall last year's beautiful LocoRoco. The concept borrows elements of rhythm-action and real-time strategy games, and turns them both on their head: Essentially, you're in charge of leading your small army of ...

Guitar Hero: On Tour (Nintendo DS) You asked for it, and now it's here: Guitar Hero to go. Like its living room-centric predecessors, On Tour comes with its own special hardware, this time in the form of the "Guitar Grip" -- a plastic four-fret controller that fits into the Game Boy Advance slot on the bottom of your DS. The game continues to build on the franchise's ...

Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword (Nintendo DS) While playing a superfast action game like Ninja Gaiden on the Nintendo DS might sound like an awkward fit, Dragon Sword cleverly uses the DS touch pad for nearly all its input -- and the results are surprisingly smooth. Just point at where you want to go, double-tap to jump, and slash with your stylus to turn your enemies into digital chop suey. ...

The World Ends With You (Nintendo DS) It's nice to see the publisher of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts – all multi-million selling megafranchises -- go the extra mile and release original games like The World Ends With You. The game is set in modern-day Tokyo: most specifically the shopping hub Shibuya, with several real-world landmarks being re-created within the ...

Professor Layton and the Curious Village (Nintendo DS) At its core, Professor Layton And The Curious Village is a collection of classic puzzles and brainteasers: You're asked to rearrange matchsticks, solve an assortment of sliding-block puzzles, and the like.

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (Nintendo DS) You may or may not have loved the blockbuster movie, but this summer's Indy DS game is pretty irresistible. Like the LEGO Star Wars games before it, the game turns the Man in the Hat into ... the Man in the Hat made of blocks. It has much more of an emphasis on puzzle-solving than its Star Wars cousins, but it's all still pretty ...

Father's Day Gift Guide: Boston Acoustics MM26 Computer Speakers

Okay, so last year you got Dad an iPod. Since then, he's digitized his entire Jazz, Bebop, and/or Classic Rock (hey, we don't know when your Dad was born) collection and put it into iTunes. Unfortunately, he's still getting inferior sound quality from his standard-issue laptop or desktop speakers. But there is a solution – namely, a pair of stereo computer speakers with a subwoofer.
