I must admit, the idea of a turn-based playing card strategy game sounded a bit Yu-Gi-Oh! and turned me off somewhat. However at $30 (£17), I was willing to take the chance.

I'm talking about the latest title i've bought for my PSP, Metal Gear Acid.

I simply cannot believe how addictive this game is. Within two days (during a typically busy working week) i've managed to put in FOUR hours of gameplay!!

The game is tricky to pick up at first, (and even now im not exactly sure of what all of the functions of the card playing system are) but something about it just...WORKS! It grabs hold of you, and once you pick up the basics of the game mechanics (which doesnt take that long at all) it's too late... YOU'RE HOOKED!!

Between this, Luminees and Ridge Racers, i've havent spent so much of my time gaming for several years! (not quite sure if that's a good thing).
So i'll hold my hands up and finally admit it - the PSP was bloody good purchase!
