My wife just surprised me with a new PSP battery after listening to me moan about not having one ever since reading PerfectDark’s most recent PSP article. After messing around with broken USB cables and jumping through hoops to un-spoof my old prome-2 firmware version for too long last night, I finally got ARK4 running and had a blast playing Wipeout Pure.

My favourite PSP game back in the day was probably Monster Hunter Freedom Unite… so many late nights spent playing that with friends in my freezing flat. There was something special about LAN parties with handheld games. I remember putting serious hours into Peace Walker and Dissidia too.

Now I want some game recommendations… tell me which games you loved on the PSP! I might even have a look around for some UMDs!

    I never owned a PSP, but tried a few in an emulator. Really missed out on a fantastic device and game library. I think there are some obvious famous games that many recommend, as such

    • Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7
    • God of War - Ghost of Sparta
    • Grand Theft Auto Liberty/Vice City Stories
    • Lumines
    • Metal Gear Acid / Peace Walker / Portable Ops Plus
    • Monser Hunger Freedom Unite
    • Persona 2 Innocent Sin
    • Ratchet and Clank Size Matters

    Also kind of ports I think, maybe new games in series, I’m not sure. But just able to play these on a portable device is awesome:

    • Gran Turisomo
    • Littlle Big Planet
    • MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
    • OutRun 2006 - Coast 2 Coast
    • Tekken 6

    I didn’t play much on PSP yet. Following are also interesting:

    • Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
    • Hot Shots Golf
    • Jeanne d’Arc
    • R-Type Command
    • Tekken - Dark Resurrection
    • Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins
    • WipEout Pure

    And the list goes on and on. This was an awesome handheld.
