GamerXChange: "With the PlayStation Vita’s release getting closer, it’s almost hard to think that anyone will pick up a PSP for the first time. What’s more, some PSP games are being remastered in HD for the PS3 and 360. I can guarantee you though, someone will get a PSP this holiday season and will need some games to play on it. If you are that lost soul with the PlayStation Portable in the palm of your hands for the first time, you may want to make that purchase a worthwhile one. So as we continue covering must have games to get for different systems, here are ten games that you might want to look into if you are new to the PSP."
TNS: Sony had great ideas back then for its PSPgo-- it that even had the same features as the Nintendo Switch. Too bad that wasn't enough.
I still have the Go with the dock and a paired sixaxis controller. I could have used a DS3 but since the PSP games have no rumble, why waste a rumble enabled controller on it.
I still have my psp, psp go and vita.
Home brewed to be retro gaming machines. I love them, my kid picked the go over a 3ds.
I never wanted to bother with psp go.. first it was too small for my hands and didn’t like the clicking d pad but mostly because it didn’t support my physical games. It was DOA and it just flopped so hard so fast
Replies(1)And long before that Sega came up with the Genesis Nomad and nobody cared.
You've also been able to connect a phone/tablet to TVs for years and nobody cares.
Not... quite the same. Sure you could plug it into a tv but you had to hold it while playing. The PSP 2000/3000 would be compared to the Nomad as they did the same thing. Plug into a tv but you had to hold it to play.
Not very convenient.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Nomad taking full fledged Genesis/ Mega Drive cartridges? It was basically handheld tv console.
Yep. The Switch wasn't a success because it can be a handheld or a home console. It was successful because it did that AND it was a well-supported device that was Nintendo's primary focus for a full generation.
Such a painful pill for sony to swallow. They really should have supported the vita and psvr2 much better. games like resident evil on psvr are too few and far between, the 1st party support has always been lacking.
One of the strongest genres that the PSP had to offer would have to be RPGs. The PS1 and PS2 both had strong RPG libraries, so it’s not a huge surprise that the PSP picked up the baton with some real bangers.
The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
No Dissidia?
I just bought a used PSP for $10, so this article is very applicable to me.
Good list overall. HOWEVER! It is missing the best game available on psp (in my opinion), which is greatness known as Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker.
On another note, I really did enjoy the socom series on psp, I always like games where you could give orders to your team.
woah, they ripped out the GTA gsmes and put Socom on the list, no MGS Peace Walker neither.. Persona 2 is a sweet addition in the PSP libary but I don't think it is on the top 10 greatest PSP games of all time.
For me I would choose Crisis Core, Persona, KH, and hmm, God of war maybe. But I am such an RPG buff, and the psp excels in delivering quality graphics with regards to its rpgs..
