Essential PSP Titles?

I've been thinking of picking up a PSP Slim to keep me busy over winter break.
What would you guys say are the essential PSP Titles?
I'm thinking FFT, Jeanne D'arc, MGS PO. I've hear MGS PO+ isn't as good? What about Ratchet and Clank or Daxter?
Thanks for the input.

Final Fantasy tactics and Disgaea are must play if youre into those kind of games.
Castlevania has 2 games including symphony of the night.
Ive heard good things about warhammer.
Beyond that, i've mostly been playing FFT and Castlevania, though I also picked up Valkyrie Profile, because it was an amazing PSX game that now commands ridiculous prices; it's only $30 on PSP.
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Valkyrie Profile
FFT
Disgaea
Jeanne d'Arc
Me and My Katamari
Oh yeah I forgot about Lumines. I will probably pick that up as well. I've logged a ridiculous number of hours on Tetris DS; I really love puzzle games.
Does anyone know why some are saying MGS PO+ isn't as desirable as the first PO?
Also check out Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and the one that came out very recently for some more solid games. I second Lumines for it's very addictive nature.
I'm having fun with FFT so far, and Warhammer 40k Squad Tactics is a must-buy for me.
It's a multiplayer expansion. They removed the main story mode and replaced it with a dungeon crawler-ish mode called Infinity Mission. The rest of the enhancements are Multiplayer only.

Killzone: Liberation is also excellent fun, though it can be really difficult at times (curse you, Chapter 5 boss!)
Anyway, here is my obligatory list:
Brave Story
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles
Daxter
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War
Jeanne d'Arc
Killzone: Liberation
Metal Gear Acid
Metal Gear Acid 2
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
Silent Hill Origins
SOCOM: Tactical Strike
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow
All of them are great games which I've enjoyed a lot. Brave Story is really traditional but it's still one of the best RPG's on the PSP and while the MGA games have been criticized, they're still pretty damn fun.
And because I need to remind myself what's coming out next year, I'll make an upcoming list too:
Echochrome
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
Final Fantasy: Dissidia
God of War: Chains of Olympus
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
Metal Gear Solid 2: Digital Graphic Novel
Patapon
Secret Agent Clank
Star Ocean: First Departure
Star Ocean 2: Second Evolution
Hopefully some companies other than Sony and Square Enix will announce some 2008 games soon, because while this year was amazing for the PSP, next year looks pretty flat outside of those two companies.

Initial D Street Stage
Exit
Ridge Racer is still awesome.
I got MGS Ac!d 2, and it was interesting, but I wasn't invested enough to really optimize my deck. It was eight bucks used.
I wish I could endorse Dungeons & Dragons Tactics, but the user interface is so arcane and hard to use that it negates the fact that it's an incredibly faithful D&D 3.5 port.
I played the Twisted Metal PSP game, and it felt kinda like Twisted Metal 2, which I thought was the best in the series. Funny how good the PSP is at emulating PSX games.
Right now I'm playing Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, and while I'm not big on the button mashing combo-centric combat, it's got a unique style and a darker feel than a lot of JRPGs. Also flying around the world at super speed is kinda fun.
Of the PSP games I've played, Puzzle Quest was by far the most engrossing. Bejewelled+RPG = Happy Drac.
That's because the thing is made to emulate PSX games. I'm pretty sure you can buy PSX games for it with the PS3 or something.
Lumines (1 or 2)
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
Silent Hill: Origins
Metal Gear Ac!d
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Daxter (amazingly good)
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions
Burnout Legends (dated but cool)
Frantix (if you love puzzle games like Chip's Challenge)
GripShift (is surprisingly good)
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
This is also as good a place as any to ask, but are the megaman and megaman X remakes worth it?
And does anyone know if God of War is out yet?
I would say without any doubt in my mind that it is the best original game on the platform.
Man I wanted this game to be good so badly. The UI isn't really that bad, it's similar to FFT and other tactics games. The problem with the game IMO is that they ported almost everything from 3.5 D&D - what they skipped, of course, was fucking multiclassing. I couldn't bring myself to continue playing it.
I already own it on ps2 but I bought it again so I could play it while travelling, well worth the money.
PSN = Wicker86 ________ Gamertag = Wicker86
Though X-Link kai is really needed to play online, it's likely worth it as the game shines even more when you've got a party going. Still, it is an advantage of the Freedom games that you aren't required to play online to access the upper tiers of equipment and missions; you have everything accessible to you.
It also marvelously one of those very few games where every victory and failure is yours and yours alone. No random numbers BS, no cheating by the AI, just you and the beast(s).
PSN: theIceBurner, IceBurnerEU, IceBurner-JP | X-Link Kai: TheIceBurner
Dragon's Dogma: 192 Warrior Linty | 80 Strider Alicia | 32 Mage Terra
This is the only game you'll need.
And Loco Roco of course.
Looks like my time will be consumed with a lot of tactical RPGs, lumines, MGS, etc.
I would really like to see Einhander on the PSP, that would be a lot of fun.
If you dig RPG's, Brave Story is supposed to be pretty solid.
An oldie but a goodie is Hot Shots Golf.
It's a game I just recently found that came out earlier this year but it's alot of fun, I am really enjoying it
I hear it is excellent
The Sega Genesis Collection
Metal Slug Anthology
Gradius Collection
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
All of which are great games and the Gradius & Genesis collections you should be able to pick up for $15-$20 (Metal Slug & Castlevania will probably run you more).
Steam ID : rwb36, Twitter : Werezompire,
Details on this would be awesome.
Is it like the arcade version, or more condensed/completely different?
Eurobeat?
MegaMan Maverick Hunter X
Silent Hill Origins
LocoRoco
Me & My Katamari
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Hot Shots Golf - great game that I've put dozens, maybe even hundreds of hours into and still not unlocked 100%
If you like baseball, then the MLB franchise on the PSP plays as good as any baseball game on the market IMO.
It doesn't matter what comes after that, those words should NEVER be used in that order.:P (I was quickly skimming the thread and only saw the first three words of your post at first)
I don't own a PSP anymore, I own a portable disgaea device.
I am a freaking nerd.
Bearing in mind I stopped playing the arcade version when V2 came out, It's almost exactly the same. The intro has Dogfight playing and songs like Speedy Speed Boy, Remember Me, Over The Rainbow and Power of Sound are in the game. Others from earlier versions are missing though (like Space Boy). You upgrade your car by collecting and using cards which you get by selecting one of three after every race regardless of whether you win or lose. Controls are good though the lack of force feedback/rumble can make gutter runs hard. It sounds awesome through a pair of earphones, has ad-hoc multiplayer and the Bunta challenge as well. One of the main screen menus is the Project D menu where you can view, watch and listen to everything you've unlocked. The BGM section tells you which artist/album each song is from.
Playing through 4th Stage on your PSP is fucking awesome
Hope that helps
