Yu-Gi-Oh! appears on the PSP for the first time and with it comes a major new gameplay addition – Tag Duels. For the first time, players will control two characters when dueling and can switch between the two at any time, bringing with it not only a whole new tactical dimension when playing but also a second deck of cards, doubling your potential moves!
The single player story mode starts with you arriving at the Duel Academy as a fresh faced, new student. The ultimate aim for the player is to compete in and win the Tag Duel Tournament being held three months from when they enroll at the Academy. By talking to people in the Academy and battling them, the trust rating will rise and once it is high enough, players will be able to pick their Tag Duel partner and the game begins in earnest.
The game benefits from the power of the PSP with improved sound and graphics, meaning the experience of playing Tag Battle is closer than ever before to that of starring in an actual cartoon! And with so many cards to find – over 2,400 to be precise – there’s an incredible amount of longevity in this title. Players can buy or rent cards in game, as well as earn them by completing events and tasks.
The wireless connection is also put into good use as players can play a friend in a one-on-one Tag Battle through these wireless facilities, giving friends the opportunity to put their Tag Battle credentials on the line and play in their own championships!

The Hustle: Detroit Streets ets players take on the role of either Jack Stone or Kat Hudson as they make their way through the pool halls and clubs of Detroit. Players hone their pool skills and work their way to the top of the pool circuit through two different game modes – single-player story mode, playing as either Jack or Kat in their quest for respect and cash, or single-player single game, where they can practice their skills by playing one-off matches against AI opponents. Additionally, for the PSP system, players can play pool using multiplayer and multiplayer over Wi-Fi where they can try to run the table against other gaming pool sharks.
All of the modes feature a number of trickshots and challenges, which allow players to earn prize money, face off against other players and buy new items such as clothes and cues at local shops. Players make their money gambling on their own matches, hustling, betting on shots (spot betting) and betting on other pool matches.
