15 Most Anticipated PSP Games |
Ó
Remember when people could use the PSP's once anemic game library against you in console flame wars? Well thanks to games like Lumines, Exit, Daxter, Syphon Filter, Mega Man Powered Up and Burnout Legends (to name just a few) that argument no longer holds much water. If however, you hear someone beginning to pipe up, you can simply point them in the direction of this little list of promising future PSP titles. Yum!
Ahem, this list is presented in no particular order ;)
Killzone Liberation:
Some people loved Killzone on PS2, others hated it, even more saw it for what it was, a game with great promise that went sadly undelivered. But that's ok, because since Killzone's release, Guerrilla games have revamped their studios, become a first party Sony developer and re-aligned their focus. In addition to preparing Killzone for PS3, the studio is also readying a portable entry in the series, but it's taking a somewhat different direction than you'd expect.
With the reasoning that First Person Shooters just don't worj on PSP, the developers have decided to adopt an isometric viewpoint and present players with a completely different style of play than were used to. This new gameplay style will stress tactical planning and stealth, as well as fast reflexes and a quick wit. Killzone Liberation promises a 16 mission single player campaign mode, 2-player co-op (!) and six player ad-hoc mode with six multiplayer maps, it also features a Game Share function so you'll only need one copy of the game for all your friends to take part in the multiplayer mayhem. Look for Liberation Day to emerge this fall.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII:
Just a week ago I was telling QJ's own Jake D that I was seriously considering selling my PSP and all the games I had, I could make at least $200 that would go towards getting an HDTV and a PS3/Xbox 360... or even a Wii. However, running down the list of PSP games we're covering at the moment quickly revealed a number of reasons that prompted me to change my mind, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is one of those reasons.
In Crisis Core, you play as Zack, member of the elite Shinra guard and a friend of Cloud Strife from the original Final Fantasy VII. Director Hajime Tabata promises that fans will likely be surprised at the game's emphasis on fast paced action, and an as yet unrevealed "different" gameplay system than what we're traditionally used to in a regular RPG.

Tekken: Dark Resurrection:
It really was only a matter of time before the PlayStation's premiere fighting series, Tekken, appeared on Sony's little black wonder, its day has finally come.
The cool thing about Dark Resurrection is that it isn't a port of a home console version of the game, (as so many PSP titles have been) instead, it's an arcade conversion of an updated re-tooling of the spank-tacular Tekken 5, complete with thirty playable characters including two brand new ones Lili and Dragunov, and the triumphant return of series fave, Armor King! Get your PSP's ready for the King of Iron Fist tournament to begin on the 25th of this month!

Brave Story:
If you're big into Japanese Anime, you might have seen Brave Story coming, it's a pretty spectacular looking RPG from Game Republic, makers of Genji and Genji 2 that's based on a soon to be released anime of the same name. At this point there's not a whole lot known about the game save for the fact that the main character has a pretty powerful "limit break" style attack he can unleash under extreme pressure.
Word also has it that there will be a demo of one of the game's mini-games available for download from Japanese PlayStation spots, no word on a US version of the demo though.

Dead Head Fred:
Now here's a title that just kinda came out of nowhere. I was walking through the halls of E3 on the very last day, looking for some leftover goodies to pick up when I came across this little gem.
Dead Head Fred's the macabre tale of a private eye on the trail of the man who brutally murdered him and then stole his head. The whole game's got a very twisted, almost Burton-esque quality to it, and it should provide some interesting open ended gameplay which the developers promise will allow for some creative puzzle solving. Expect side missions, bonus content and tons of mini-games to round out the title quite nicely. It's always nice to see an original IP, so we'll be keeping a close eye on Fred's progress.

Gran Turismo Mobile:
Now, now, chin up people, I know it's been a long wait, and by the looks of things we'll probably be waiting a good while longer, but hopefully when it comes, it'll be worth it. Polyphony Digital are notorious for their seemingly never ending delays (wasn't this one of the first games we ever saw on the PSP?) but they're also pretty darn good at cramming every single thing they possibly can into their titles, and making it worth the wait. We can most likely expect the same from Mobile.
Details on the game are still kept a closely guarded secret, but it isn't too much of a stretch to imagine the biggest addition might possibly be the addition of an online infrastructure component to the GT series now is it? Fingers and toes crossed on this one.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
There are only two words that really need to be said to get gamers to snap this one up, Hideo Kojima. From Snake's earliest exploits on the MSX to his ascendants most recent romps on the PlayStation 2, gamers just can't seem to get enough tactical espionage action. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your gaming tastes) despite two entries in the series on Sony's handheld platform, we're yet to see some true tactical espionage action on the PSP. That's about to change.
Here's the trailer for the game, watch it, let your jaw slowly go slack, and let it hang limply to the side. That's the stuff right there! We're promised the ability to recruit others and form our own squadrons online via the PSP's WiFi capabilities for battle online. Mysterious text advises us that there are no extra lives, will we surrender or die fighting? Oh yeah, and we get to witness the birth of the infamous FOXHOUND unit. Exciting times.
Maybe some day we'll finally let Kojima stop making Metal Gear games, but it will not be this day, and thank heaven for that.

The object of game is pretty simple, just blow yourself up in a strategic position so that you take out as many of the surrounding objects as you possibly can. Oh yeah, you also want to make sure you don't get shot by the bad guys (if you can call them that). Really, that's it, it's that simple. Don't believe me?

Loco Roco
Our European cousins may already have their mitts on the game, but that doesn't make it any less desirable to the resut of us. If you've been resisting because everyone else seems to love this game, just give in, download the demo and take that Roco for a ride, you won't regret it. Quite simply one of the cutest, most genuinely charming, and inventive games to hit the PSP, Loco Roco looks set to take the world by storm.
The aim of the game is simple, the Roco's have been invaded by some nasty little fellas called the Moja Corp, and as the Roco's home planet, it's up to you to guide them to safety. Naturally being a planet you don't have any arms to grab with or legs to run with, so you'll just have to make do by tilting the earth, creating little earthquakes to make the Roco's "jump", and tossing them into the wind. Sounds simple, but the game builds on this simple premise to conjure up some pretty tough momentum based puzzles. But hey, don't take my word for it, you can download the English demo right here!

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters
3D Platformers on the PSP seem to be in short supply, and it's been a while since we beat the end boss of the delightful Ready At Dawn game, Daxter, so it's with bated breath that we await Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters. In the new game, Ratchet and Clank's holiday is unexpectedly cut short as they follow the trail of a young girl who has been kidnapped by a race of genius inventors known as the Technomites. The game features drivable vehicles and support for up to four players in wireless game play mode, we're also hearing you'll get to play as both Ratchet and Clank, cool!
Having had a chance to play through the E3 2006 demo, I can say it looks like Insomniac's franchise is in good hands with High Impact Games at the helm. The graphics were crisp and the framerate solid, and the gameplay just as good as it's console brethren. Details since E3 have remained scarce, but we'll definitely get to hear more from this promising looking platformer before its release in 2007.

Silent Hill Origins
Ever wondered what happened in Silent Hill to turn it from a sleepy little town in the middle of nowhere into dark, foggy nightmare come to life? Why then we've got just the ticket for you, Konami's first handheld entry in their psychological horror franchise tells the tale of a truck driver with an extremely troubled past who becomes stranded in Silent Hill, and is made witness to the towns infernal leanings. Konami also promises to take advantage of the PSP's unique capabilities, and is offering new gameplay mechanics, such as the new "barricade system", in which players can drag furniture, debris, and other environmental objects into a monsters path to create a makeshift barricade, thereby slowing the attacker down.
All indications point to gamers getting a full fledged Silent Hill title, and yeah, Akira Yamaoka will be on hand to compose a score for the game. Look for it to drop next year, we've got a bit of a wait ahead of us.

SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2
The first SOCOM game on PSP remains one of the best and most robust online experiences you can have on a handheld, but in comparison what Zipper has in store for the franchises next PSP outing, the previous game is looking very modest indeed. Non-linear missions, more weapons, better graphics, better AI and all new multiplayer modes including Tug-of-War Control Points, Capture the Flag and Target promise to make SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2 the premiere online shooter experience for the PSP.
We expect SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2 to hit this fall alongside SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault for the PlayStation 2, it's also likely that we'll see some clever inter-connectivity between the two titles.

Justice League Heroes
Snowblind Studios hardly ever gets the respect and attention they deserve. They gave us the excellent Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on all last-gen platforms, as well as Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest, and Champions: Return to Arms for the PlayStation 2. Now it looks like they're shifting their focus from orcs, elves and other beasties of the naturus fantastical, to focus more on something a little more superheroic!
If you thought X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse was a fun ride, wait till you get a load of what Justice League Heroes is offering. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna and a few unlockable special characters such as The Green Arrow will be making an appearance and fighting side by side against the greatest threat the world has ever faced. Justice League Heroes will be Snowblind's first PSP foray, but if their multi-platform wizardry on the Dark Alliance games is anything to go by, we're in for something of a treat this fall.

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins
Pansies need not apply, unless you're hardcore into old school side-scrolling action, chances are you might not be able to handle Ultimate Ghosts n' Goblins, but if you're a lean, mean game-playin' machine, this is just what the doctor ordered.
The title was originally developed for arcades, where the idea was to pack as much entertainment as possible into small bite sized chunks, so in that respect at least the game seems like a perfect fir for Sony's handheld console. It might be in 3D, but Capcom's Ghosts n' Goblins promises all the best 2D side-scrolling action the series is noted for. You best start beleivin' in ghost stories matey... you'll be in one this September!

We've a long wait for Lenneth yet, but at least we know it's coming!

Comments [refresh]
thats a lot of good games coming out for the psp.
im just waiting for killzone and FF. i bet the loading times will be murder though.
No ace combat x?
And further more, how can a game that's already on release be most anticipated?
Maybe your getting kick backs from giving it web space..I cant think of any other reason for it A to be here and B for it to get such a good review..Its quirky, origional, but on the whole repetative and simple.
That's a pretty sad list.
HA HA HA FF, how gay... more like final *****asy
why are they looking forward to loco roco when it's already out?
Loco Roco's been released in the UK, but not in the US. I'll clarify in the article.
It's just sad to see that
a)most of these games are japanese(i.e. the US companies are making ***** for the psp)
b)some of these games may never reach europe
c) the attempt to justify the horribly bad game lineup that sony has for the psp, and how it might be the same for the Ps3
why is the girl in need for speed carbon so ugly?
cause some were released in jap and not english
Loco Roco... really...
people are actually looking forward to that?
I guess maybe if you are a kid under the age of 12 maybe.
That game looked like crap and the demo was really boring. The games i had on my calculator seemed more advanced and fun. I guess everyone has their own opinions.
someone tell me why the need for speed girl is so ugly!!!!! she has nothing!!!!! they could've picked someone of the streets who is better!!!!
Gran Turismo Mobile:!!!!!!!! !!!!! yyyeeeesssss love it.and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
WHERS POWERSTONE!!!
what!?! no blade dancer?!?!
snoopy doopy doo! where are you?
we got sum work for u now.
this list is really sad i was looking forward to blade dancer brave story and POWER STONE!
the list is ok some i'm waiting for (to get my hands on whether its out or not) lik tekken, ff, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, and Brave Story.
Wheres BF2, It's supposed to come out and COD2
Gran Turismo Mobile - definitely should be #1 - i reckon 50% of psp owners bought their psp in anticipation of this game...
where is it eh?! 6th in the list! pfsh
hi, i just got brave story and its awesome!!! the gameplay, the graphics the sound everything is great,it's in jap so i cant say anything about the story because i can read jap so ya....but its awesome!!!
Some of those games look pretty cool, others...really don't. I'm a HUGE FFVII fan (my fave game of all time) but as of today, there hasn't been one good spinoff outside of the movie...Crisis Core will more than likely join the sad list of miserably awful Final Fantasy spinoffs...
I dunno...if it wasn't for homebrew and MGS, then I'd definitely be selling my PSP...
Agree. But personally, I can't wait for Shinobido - Tales of the Ninja to come out in September! WOW! Pure shinobi action on PSP!
Also, I can't wait for the official PSOne emulator!!!
YIIIIIIIIIIIIHA AAAAAAAA!!!
Guys get this straight, the list is in no particular order, so GT at #6 doesnt mean its less wanted..
If you can think of a better list folks, then post it up...
increible
nocomment
i forgot! JEEZ! i'm definately buying it! i just started playing it on the dreamcast and it's the best fighter ever!
nocomment
hahaha At least I have a registered account.
I hadn't seen any screenshot of Brave Story and I think is amazing!
We're on the second year of life of the console and we're already having outstanding games such as these... What can we expect by the end of its life (around 5 years later)?
OK HOW THE HELL DID THEY LEAVE OFF METAL SLUG ANTHOLOGY????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
NO ONE CARES ABOUT VALKYRIE PROFILE OR THOSE OTHER STUPID GAMES
IM WAITING FOR SOCOM TARGETLOCK 2, KILLZONE LIBERATION, AND METAL SLUG ANTHOLOGY. BY THE TIME GT COMES OUT FOR PSP GT5 WILL BE OUT FOR PS3 AND WHEN RATCHET GETS RELEASED IM SURE RATCHET WILL SOON BE OUT FOR PS3.
Although some of those titles might be worth having, and I might rent them (if devhook will run them). None of them are 'must have' titles. The DS has several (MarioKart, Metroid Hunters, new SMB) and loads of others that people should have tried sometime (Brain Training, Wario Ware, Ace Attourney). Killzone looks mildly promising, but that's about it.
The only one on that list I might actually buy is Every Extend Extra, because I've played the original and know it's good fun. The rest of them aren't games that really work as well for handhelds and would be better realised on a console such as the PS3, 360 or Wii.
I would have got MSAnthology, because that would be good on the PSP, except I think it'll be more fun on the Wii.
Why is star trek one of the tags for this post?
Nice Spock reference, intentional or not. I'll rectify that now.
they left out grand theft auto.......why!? >: (
MGS:PO, SOCOMFTB2
end of story
although some sort of mmorpg would be nice
i care about those games so stop crying and shut up
#35-gta is already out,so it cant be the most anticipated.BTW this list is generally all of the gamesI've been waiting for nice job QJ
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth are more than enough reason for me.
WHAT about DEF JAM?? Oh wait well its out now but styll. and what about that Ridge Racer 2 game? and what about Power Stone? and what about teh Devil MAy Cry game comin out? i know i would get that! Theres a lot more games that are highly anticipated, i think it should b 30 anticipated games
grand theft auto vice city stories is not there? What a mess!!!
Looks like the PSP is looking good for the immediate future.
#32 I'm sorry to tell you but these games are the reasons people bought the PSP. And fortunately it's finally delivering.
For those posting comments about Loco Roco, EuroGamer gave the game a 9/10 and it's also one of the best selling PSP games in UK right now. Yes it is that good and if you don't know now you know. As for the Tekken game most reviewers gave that game above a 95. Famitsu game it a 31 which isn't surprising since they are pretty harsh when rating a game (it would still mean the avg score was 8/10).
As for GT Mobile, everyone and their mother is waiting for this game. This is said to revolutionize PSP racing forever.
I'm looking forward to every game on this list and can't wait to see what the future holds for this wonderful handheld. I love it for movies and I love it for music, now I can finally love it for games.
And knowing that a PS1 emulator is coming this fall makes tears come out of my eyes. I'm even looking forward to that damn eye toy camera just so I can have some head action on the road with my girlfriend.
Super weak to the Justice League.. Why bother when Marvel Ultimate Alliance is coming!
140+ characters.. and it's made by X-Men Legends Ravensoft.. Leave it to the masters..
Good List!!! PSP has alot of good games coming. DS looks sad soo far might sell mine :) maybe Ill get a 2nd PSP if devhook cant run some of these.
VICE CITY BABY!! iT BETTER BE SET IB THE 80'S AGAIN!!!! MAN I LOVE SCARFACE!

This will be one of the great one folks.
In my book would be GTA: Vice City Stories and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Good article, and keep up the good work.
loco roco is bull, Gran turismo will never come to the PSP, I lost all hopes LOL
well, ignoring that, it's a very good list,
I wish sony would remake WAr of the monster for PSP, that would be great!
Hey what about harvest moon back to nature!? that's way better than friggin loco rocco

GT Mobile was one of the selling points for me when I bought my PSP almost exactly one year ago. It was promised to be out shortly. As mentioned, though, PD is notorious for pushing releases back months/years. The last interview that I read with someone from PD, they made it sound as if the PSP version was low on their priorities. The guy asked the reporter which gamers wanted more, GT Mobile or a PS3 title. That was right before Tourist Trophy was released.
Personally, I'm not holding my breath for GT Mobile anymore. The anticipation for it has worn off and I no longer care. At this point, there are already too many racing games for the PSP. Every month they wait, new games are announced that are sounding more interesting to me than yet another racing game.
I'm still waiting for the system's first real blockbuster RPG title. Legend of Heroes was only okay and I don't consider Untold Legends much of an RPG. I'd love to see a game along the lines of the traditional Final Fantasy games (Crisis Core might be breaking away from the normal FF formula too much for my taste, but I'll reserve judgement for now) or a Dragon Quest title.
I'm hoping the PSOne emulator turns out to be the killer app that I'd like it to be. If so, hello big ass game library!
C'mon guys. It's LucasArts. You can't go wrong with LucasArts. Doesn't the concept sound MINDBLOWING?!
You're joking, right?
valkyrie profile!! ghost 'n goblins!! metal gear solid!! final fantasy! yay
stop ripping it out of loco roco, so what if it looks childish, we're not all hardcore 20 hour a day gamers who thrive on massive games which just...have to have it all.
As a portable system I'm sure the main type of games that are going to thrive are the games that you can pick up and play, hence seeing so many puzzlers on the psp, and loco roco just looks plain fun.
besides, I don't see why people should complain at one game, I mean if your needs are catered for then piss off, you don't even make games lmao.
i forgot bout blade dancer and POWER STONE!!!!!!!!!! !!!
no gta vice city forget about that?
Games im looking forward to are Silent Hill Origins, Metal Gear Solid Portable OPS, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, Final Fantasy Crisis Core Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories, Guilty Gear Judgement and Tenchu Time of the Assassins. The PSP Rocks.
Honestly, its like the most original game for psp now
You just need to be in touch with your inner child and let go a bit to enjoy it, which is great - if you can.
If you want hardcore stuff, the PC is 10x better than any psp game tbh :)
wooh SOCOM, Killzone, Ace Combat X, MGS: PO, Gran Turismo!!!! I cant wait for these!
thanks for the links, man i would show you the game but too bad i cant, you people are missing out on a lot.....
over 10000 people have downloaded the demo of loco roco off this site alone. its exactly what the psp needs.
i checked this place out and it acutally works. just complete the requirements and you will hace a new psp(hopefully with FW 2.5/2.6 so you can downgrade and run homebrew). here is the URL http://psps.freepay.com/?r=31315202
Enough of stupid loco roco! It's just stupid that people keep talking about it dammit!
I heard about that, thats why i got a psp! When is Sony going to release it!? PS1 EMU! and Digital Download so we can play it off the Memory Stick.
Im also looking forward to Ace Combat ! its going to be ONLINE! i really hope its gonna be infrastructure instead of Ad-hoc
Whenever I play the DS after I played on my PSP I want to throw up at how simple DS games are.

2) Metal gear opps
3) Tekken
4) Brave Story
5) Final Fantasy crisis core
6) Valkyrie Profile
7) Blade Dancer
9) Ratchet & clank
10) TBA
"If you want hardcore stuff, the PC is 10x better than any psp game tbh :)"
PC is stronger and better, but it's not portable, so your comparison holds no merit. Who says a next gen hand held is only capable of softcore games?
-no metal slug anthology
-no gta vice city stories
I'm definitely getting those two titles and out of this ga.y top 15 list, I'm getting socom fireteam bravo 2, hopefully it's not as plain and boring and easy to get kills as ftb1 was and I'll also be getting killzone liberation.
I MAY get GT, depending on how it is. If it's gt4portable then it's a no.
Why no god of war, new prince of persia, or a kingdom hearts game? What about Daxter 2 or a Jak game?
Ratchet was fun for ps2, but looks like garbage for psp.
My title says it all.
I wanna see any new info on killzone and crisis core. Killzone because of the great storyline even though it was no "halo killer" and crisis core because i want an awsome rpg and i know this game will deliver. I'm also drawn to brave story but ive never even heard of it before.
I'm in the us and I've been playing Loco Roco all week. Muahahaaa
yeah! how come power stone isn't anywhere on this list? it definitely beats out other games on the list.
Locoroco isnt anticipated. Everyone in the US has the ISO

Hey! What's wrong with LucasArts? They brought us sexy games like Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, not to mention the old school classics such as Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max.
I don't think I've ever been dissapointed by LucasArts.
ok. the word on crisis core is that it's being released august 1st...that's 2006 from everything i've read. however, the write-up in this article seems to imply that the first look QJ editors will have is in september at the tokyo show. so what's the deal? is it actually going to be released august 1st 2007?!
GT Mobile, FF Vll, Socom FTB2, Tekken, and Killzone.
what bout a Kingdom Hearts game, or COD3, or GTA VCS
16) GTA Vice City Stories
17)Wipeout Pure 2
They have a lot of potential with some of their software, including the titles you mentioned, but their coding is aweful compared to other developers. Their games are frequently filled with bugs, sometimes to the point of making the game broken and unplayable. My most recent experience was with Knights Of The Old Republic, which I did enjoy, but 90% of the time the game would crash when loading a new area at certain points of the game. It was due to some sort of conflict with ATI video card drivers that still has yet to be fixed. The problems with KOTOR were so bad that I had to install the game on my laptop, which has a really old nVidia GeForce 420 Go chipset on it, then transfer my savegame files over to the laptop, and then play the game on there in order to get past those parts of the game.
Oddly enough, KOTOR was originally written for XBox which has an ATI graphics chip, from what I understand, and it still doesn't work right on the PC version. ATI and LucasArts seem to be bent on blaming each other for the problems and neither is willing to step up and actually fix it, so the players get screwed. I put the blame on LucasArts because other developers get their stuff to work just fine with those same drivers.
My understanding is that the same problems persist with KOTOR II, since it's using the same engine, so I never bothered to waste my time/money on it. Besides the bugs, the game just got poor ratings compared to the first one anyway. Lacking story, big plot holes, bugs, and I heard someone say it was a lot shorter than the first.
To all that, add that roughly 75% of the Star Wars franchise games they've done have been garbage. Jedi Knight II, and Jedi Academy were exceptions, but Raven Software did those games, not LucasArts.

''We've a long wait for Lenneth yet, but at least we know it's coming!''
Actually it's been scheduled for a release at July 18th 2006,
that means it's like 6 days away from now :)
pfft, those games = boring. Most anticipated = Field Commander because it actually can be played online unlike every gay ass ad-hoc only game

Vice city is out this october ?
Thanks for the heads up SeikenZ, I've made the correction. johnnycipriani, the whole Crisis Core release date thing is a little confusing, Gamestop lists an August 1st release date, but this IGN article says Japan and Europe get it 31st Dec 2006, while the US gets it Q1 '07, and that we'll get a good look at the title at TGS: http://psp.ign.com/articles/709/709034p1.html
Still I edited the article all the same. Thanks!
What happened to Powerstone, GTA: VCS, Call of Duty 3, Pro Evo 6 and Sonic?
As far as I know they're still coming out.

I meant, why the heck aren't they on the list? They are more anticipated than some of those.
ds is better than psp
Im just gonna download the isos of all these and play them all for free. having all the psp games free is amazing. >=)
poor suckers that buy the psp games, hah.
Where?
You'd wish!
zomg are u crazy???!!
on a side note...
what the hell is wrong with kids these days?
when does power stone come out?
I am definately getting:
Killzone: Liberation
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Socom U.S Navy Seals: Fireteam Bravo 2
Silent Hill: Origins
Loco Roco
Most anticipated are Killzone: Liberation and Metal Gear Solid.
Heheh I want harvest moon, silent hill, metal gear solid and crisis core
All of these games are great but i think some of them shouldnt be on there "cough cough rachet and clank cough"
ratchet and clank is awesome you bi+chface
Too bad R&C won't come out until 2007 but I'll gladly wait as long as it's awesome. It looks like some of them MIGHT have long loading times but as long as they're not as bad as Midnight Club 3 on the PSP *shudders at the thought* It won't bother me.
why do guyz say that they are in order when they are not... Quote:"Ahem, this list is presented in no particular order ;)"
For all those unlucky people in the Usa Who dont have locoroco yet (even Oceania has it!) i have a plan for you... and it is perfectly legal. First donate the cost of locoroco to the makers of the game... AND THEN JUST DOWNLOAD THE DAM ISO!!!!
Wrong, dont download the ISO, just go to ebay and buy it from there. DONE!
wow,
just donwload them.
no matter where they are released, there will surely
be an iso for it.
and if it's in a diffrent language, i guranantee
there will be a language pack thingy made by users or
the makers.
so does it really matter where it'll realeased?????????
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Silent Hill Origins
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
FF VII: Crisis Core
Maybe Brave story...
and Bladedancer which wasn't mentioned in the list.
WHERE THE HECK IS ANTICIPATED ACECOMBAT??? and im sure hoping MGS, SilentHill to come out! also killzone, hopefully FF would be good
chung li zhon wa chu ching chao, chao li nu yako.
Looking forward to Valkyrie Profile, Final Fantasy: Crisis Core, Loco Roco, Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins, E E E, and Brave Story. but not so much of the others. Also anticipating Breath of Fire 3 and (hopefully) Initial D.
WHAT THE ***** HAPPEND 2 GTA:VCS
Why is everyone moaning?
Look at all the great games on there! MGS, GT: Portable, SOCOM, Silent Hill, Tekken...
When those games come out on the PS2 the whole world comes to a halt and they are talked about for months, but now on PSP, everyone slags 'em off!
I say you media-affected corporate sell-out morons should have your own opinion instead of stealing the one of cynical, narrow-minded journalists who think they're more important than the games themselves!
Just enjoy all the great game that will soon be reaching us!
PS As for Loco Roco, only the most naive people could call it a kids game. When you complete the game send me a screenie and I'll accept your view. Play the damn game before you judge! It may be a cliché, but "it's harder than it looks". Oh, and it's an ace game as well.
No love for Metal Slug? Between that, Ghosts N Goblins, and Valkryie Profile, there's ***** coming out.
Another year without upgrading the firmware.
I'm waiting for Final fantasy, GTA VCS, and Gran turismo
good list of games. Hoping all will come out
To all the people insulting LocoRoco.
Grow up.
Just because it's bright, cheery, and downright fun to play, does not mean you have to be under the age of 12 to play it. I rather enjoyed the demo, and am looking forward to the full game.
Been playing valkyrie and must say, at first it feels a little dull but when you actually get into some of the battles and growing your characters, it's actually a fun game. Some are affraid to play because there is so much that can go on but I recomend this to anybody. Taste of tactics with a little FF feel.
Where in the hell is metal slug?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Where is the GTA VCS huh?!! but MGS! its my favor
*****, I really want that one, and gotta wait till september..!
I was playing at age 15 (1985), and could never finish it as the game was taken out early from the bar where I used to play. Could never recover the frustration till date... ;)
STOP SAYING WHERE IS SUCH AND SUCH
WHEN NOONE"S EVER EVEN HEARD OF IT
1. MGS
2. Final Fantasy
3. Kill Zone
4. Gran Turismo
5. Socom
*Every other game is just another spare piece of ******
FAWK YOU DS LOVING *****ES, PSP WILL PWN YOUR KIDDY ASS FACE TO HELL...the only game that actually lets you kill with a semi-believable gun is Metroid, but GTA WILL BLOW THAT FUGGIN GAME WITH A BAT and an APACHE FRIGGEN HELICOPTER FOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOO!!!! Then Socom will bust out their M67's and blow that stupid Stylus to bits! After that Mario will be assasinated by Solid Snake then thrown off the edge of a cliff. Then your gay ass Pokemon will be ahnialated by a squadron from Killzone. After that your stupid ass Mario Kart will be burnt to hell by Ifrit of Crisis Core! Damn I hate these ***** ass DS lovers that just put: DS is better without justification...
I enjoy the game's cheeriness. I am looking forward to both Loco Roco, GTA: VCS, and Metal Slug Collection.
That's 5 dude!

It looks like you ran out of ritalin.
you can update your perscription here: http://www.pharmacysources.com/ritalin.asp
Have you considered the thought that people who enjoy DS might also enjoy the PSP as well?
Love you, Valkyrie...
