Cameron

Some More Reccomendations From Me:

GTA Liberty City.
Burnout

I've played both games on my friends PSP. Both great games.

roer

My recommendations would be:

Burnout Legends
SOCOM
Wipeout Pure
Lumines

All those games have not failed to dissapoint me, excellent games

Cameron

Yeah, burnout is such a great car racing game. For every consle I have, I must have a racing game. Usally burnout or GT. If I had a PSP, I would 100% Pick burnout. My friend says he's playing it loads

Deffiently a must buy for the psp!

dnc

I'd have to repeat 2 of the above:

Burnout (especially)
and Wipeout!

I remember them on PS2 (and PS), those are good memories! How they've changed!

I have noticed there is really not that many games and they are also not that good in my opinion.

Lee

I also heard many of the titles are lackluster.

For what I understand, however, is that the Daxter game (a character from Naughty Dog's Jak franchise) is the exception. Anyone have the chance to test this out first hand?

I have played Daxter, and was very dissapointed with it. I bought it after seeing all the hype, and was really enjoying it, when suddenly the story ended. I finished the whole game within 3 days, and I'm not a particularly fast gamer. But yes, a good game up to that point. On the other hand, because I took it back within a week to the shop, I got back all the money I spent on it, so no problems

Good games I've played on the PSP are probably...

GTA Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories (both excellent)
Breath of Fire
Worms: Open Warfare
Archer Maclean's Mercury

So not vast numbers, no.

Lee

That seems to be a big criticism towards the Naughty Dog line in general: the games are just too short. I had wished to hear better things about the Daxter game since I really enjoyed the brief trials in Jak 2 and Jak 3 that featured Daxter rather than the namesake character.

It is a shame that you don't have the game for PSP anymore. Jak X has unlockable drivers and a racing vehicle only unlockable by porting the Daxter game information onto the PS2's memory card.

HA! mercury is coming to Wii!

NO MORE SONY LOVE

READ IT AND WEEP !!!

Lee

I am going to ask a fairly stupid question here: What was Mercury? Was it a good PSP game?

I am a bit unfamiliar with the PSP in general since I do not have one, and none of close friends have opted to go that portable system route.

Archer Maclean's Mercury for PSP - Archer Maclean's Mercury Sony PSP - Archer Maclean's Mercury PSP Game

It's like one of those games you used to get where you could tilt a board in a few different directions to get the ball to the end of the course. Kind of.
Except the "ball" is a blob of mercury (at least, I assume thats what it's meant to be, considering the title) and it's hellishly complicated - you have to change colours, open gates, split it etc etc.

Great fun, and I would imagine it'll work very well on the Wii, with the motion control and all.

OK, as a multi-platform (360, PSP, PC, DS) owner, I think the PSP has some great games irregardless of their portable nature. My faves are:

Wipeout Pure
GTA Liberty City (& Vice City) Stories
Killzone Liberation
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror

Socom's multiplayer features are great, as are MGS:PO's. Killzone is getting its upgrade soon, and with the PSP price drop, it's a good time for the PSP.

You can get demos of Killzone and Mecury off the PS store.

Fifa 07 is my personal recommendation...although the weird joystick like control sucks for sports games in my opinion.

The Black Devil

I'd recommend Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, and Monster Hunter 1 and 2. Very nice.
