10. Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice - PSP.
This won't be for everyone, but I absolutely love it. I reckon it's one of the PSP's best games, and perfect for a quick 15-minute blast on the train or bus every now and again. It's a combination of a number of game types, including third-person on foot shooting, which isn't that great, first-person on rails shooting, which is a lot better, and action driving shooting, which is absolutely brilliant. As you chase down some gang goon in your Pursuit Force car you can jump from vehicle to vehicle, shooting in mid-air, land on your target's bonnet and blast the passengers into oblivion. Enough said.
Tom absolutely loves this Max Payne-esque third person shooter. As he said in his review: "It's not often that I get excited about handheld games, particularly handheld action games, but Chili Con Carnage has completely blown me away and changed my view on what Sony's handheld is capable of." High praise indeed. And why not? It might not have sold bucket loads, nor has it enjoyed an expensive marketing campaign, but Chili Con Carnage is still far and away the best action shooter the PSP has to offer. An essential purchase for PSP owners.

Ninja Gaiden (XBOX) was sorely overlooked in your list. A true hardcore action game, spectacular and nostalgic graphics and music, level design that has still not been matched on next-gen systems, and easily the best action game of all time if not the BEST game of all time...
