I'm getting a PSP sometime this week, and I'm just curious if you have any opinions on what games I should get?
So far, on my list of possible purchases, I have;
Metal Gear Solid PO
Lumines
Ratchet and Clank (I've never ever played a Ratchet game before. Are they any good?)
Metal Slug Anthology
Syphon Filter Dark Mirror
I'd highly recommend these games:
Killzone: Liberation
Lumines
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
Metal Gear Acid 2
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Daxter
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
Good RPG's? Tales of Eternia (import) and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. Failing that, you can wait until later in the year when Jeanne d'Arc, Brave Story and Final Fantasy Tactics all come out.
If you like fighting games Tekken DR is good, as well as Guilty Gear judgement.
Also, Sega Fucking Genesis Collection. 29 of the best the Genesis had to offer like sonic 1 & 2, Phantasy Sat II, III, IV, Ecco the Dolphin I and II, etc (though its missing sonic 3 and knuckles for some reason)

Just ignore the troll. But it is kinda funny, the "DS fans trolling PSP threads" phase has been over for a year or so now. I guess he's a little slower than the others.
And yeah, I completely forgot about Tekken: DR and Sega Mega Drive Collection (Mega Drive >>> Genesis). They're fucking awesome.
Be warned about Liberty City stories: Vehicle and Foot control are either both "joystick" or both d-pad, can't have one for each. And the d-pad doesn't work for on foot. I had to manually switch the control scheme whenever I got in a vehicle, so I didn't get very far before giving up.
I second Maverick Hunter X. Its megaman X in 3d, but the same 2d gameplay. Its great fun. Also, it has voice acting and Launch Octopus is the token bishonen villain, for some inane reason. O_o
If you can find a copy of it somewhere for a decent price, Super Star Soldier is awesome on the PSP. I would also have to reccomend Field Commander if you want a turn based strategy game.
PSP Games I own and reccomend...
Field Commander
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
Mega Man Powered Up
Metal Gear Acid
Metal Gear Acid 2
Metal Gear Portable OPs
Metal Slug Anthology
Super Star Soldier
Wipeout Pure
And as for RPGs on the PSP, I think they all suck so far. Either killed by obscene load times, lame combat/gameplay, and/or uninspired stories. I own a whole mess of them and was dissapointed by all of them for basically those reasons.
Yeah, Tales of Eternia and Valkyrie Profile are good RPGs if you haven't played them before on the Playstation. The current RPG I'm playing on it is Monster Kingdom Jewel Summoner, which isn't bad at all. Also, Dungeon Siege Throne of Agony is a pretty awesome hack and slash RPG.

I just picked up a PSP used with Killzone Liberation and Sid Meiers Pirates. How is Pirates? I'm a little confused so far, but I'm hoping I'll figure it out quickly. Also, MLB '07 The Show, is it a good game?
MLB 07 The Show is a good game, I'd say it's great. Definitely the best portable baseball you can get (that tries to be somewhat realistic). At first it was a bit frustrating as if you are not used to the nub, it can be hard to accurately place pitches. But I got used to it. I recommend this game heartily.
I can't fucking find it. Is it even out in the US?
It's been mentioned in every thread related to buying PSP games ever, but no, the game came out in Eurofunland and not here. It goes on the short list.
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Out Run 2006
Wipeout Pure (and its huge stack of downloadable content)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Metal Gear Acid
GTA: Liberty City Stories
Ridge Racer
Star Soldier
Burnout Legends
TOCA Race Driver 2
All those have kept me very well entertained and come with high recommendations.
I need to grab some of the rest of the stuff mentioned in this thread.
Also, be warned and stay very far away from EA Replay. It's crap, and seeing once-classic games treated so badly made me weep. That said, I blame that squarely on trying to shoehorn those PC games onto the SNES in the first place. Ugh.
Yesterday I got GTA Liberty City Stories, and I'm really surprised how well this game works on the PSP. Sure, it's pretty much just the same old thing as the PS2 games, but it's fun to quickly pick up and play while on the bus, or just chilling on the couch.
I hate to bring an old thread back to life but I didn't think this question was good enough to start a new thread...
Can someone suggest some good/great PSP Multiplayer games that take advantage of the unit's WiFi connection? I just want something well made & fun that I can boot up, and use to play random people with over the 'net.
***EDIT***
Also, any suggestions for good travel cases? Small form factor is a must and I'd like a space to store an extra battery and possibly an extra memoy card...
Parappa the Rapper (The PS1 classic)
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology (like Tales of Eternia, but you make the main character and several past characters across several games join up with you for an all new adventure)
And
August 21:
Jeanne D' Arc (Which looks awesome)
August 28:
Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (If they fix the problems with the first)
Now:
X-Men Legends II
Metal Gear Acid 2
Gitaroo-Man Lives!
Valkyrie Profile Lenneth
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Others that are good, but can wait:
GTA: Liberty/Vice City Stories
Sega Genesis Collection
Untold Legends I or II
Edit: Oh wow, didn't realize this thread was a month old.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Tekken: Dark Resurrection
Monster Hunter Freedom
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Killzone: Liberation
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth

Final Fantasy 1 & 2 Remakes
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend
LocoRoco

Siphon Filter, Wipeout and Tekken DR are both pretty good for that.
Would you suggest Syphon Filter over the SOCOM games for multiplayer?
A lot of people like Socom but I was never able to get into the multiplayer - connecting to games never seemed to work properly. I've never had any problems with Siphon Filter and it plays and controls really well, feels like a really natural Splinter Cell.

Nice. I'll pick it up as soon as I can.
The last Syphon Filter I played was for the PSX and I enjoyed it. Enjoyed it more than Metal Gear actually...

If you liked SF more than MGS, you'll LOVE this game. I hate SF and I thought this game wasn't half bad.

I have a DS Lite anyway, so I just ignored the troll.
This might also come in handy.

Yeah, I saw Killzone for super cheap today, so I'll probably pick it up this week as well.
And for RPGs, you can't go wrong with Lenneth. Ys VI is good too, but I'm not sure how the port compares to the PS2 version.
Also, does anyone know if there's any substantive difference between the PS2 and PSP versions of Snoopy vs. the Red Baron?
I second Maverick Hunter X. Its megaman X in 3d, but the same 2d gameplay. Its great fun. Also, it has voice acting and Launch Octopus is the token bishonen villain, for some inane reason. O_o
RPGs I own:
Kingdom of Paradise
Legend of Heroes
Popolo Crois
Untold Legends
Blade Dancer
They are all terrible and a waste of money. I recommend none of them.
I just got it, and it's amazing.
So, it's the new paper mario?
It's really not like Paper Mario at all once you get into it. More like Psyconauts, which I can't spell.

Buy it. Play it. Love it.
Sid Mier's Pirates (PSP) turned out to be a dang good port IMO of the pc game. Also Daxter (of Jak and Daxter) on the PSP is a fine platformer.
I can't fucking find it. Is it even out in the US?

Because posting that kind of crap leads to arguments and then the thread is derailed. That's why.
Edit: RPGamer have some impressions and screens of the US version of Brave Story here.

Its frustrating in the beginning, but once you get passed like the first 2 hours its pretty fun. I've gotten about 100+ hours out of it.
Don't get Valhalla knights though. god what a waste of money.
