| davygee said: I've read on numerous boards all over with posters stating that the PSP doesn't have enough good games and once they get a reasonable number of decent games they would maybe consider buying one. Well, what are they talking about? What constitutes a reasonable number? Well, I've listed a small selection of games for each gaming type, just to prove that the PSP does in fact have a "reasonable" number of good games. FPS/TS: Syphon Filter, SOCOM 1 & 2, MGS Portable Ops Action Adventure: GTA LCS, GTA VCS, Me & My Katamari, Pursuit Force Racing: Ridge Racer 1 & 2, Wipeout, Burnout Legends & Dominator, NFS's, OutRun 2006 Sports: PES, FIFA, Virtua Tennis, THUG, WWE Smackdown, SSX Platformer: Daxter, Megaman, Tokobot, LocoRoco Fighting: Tekken, Powerstone, SF Alpha Puzzle: Lumines 1 & 2, Mercury, Exit Strategy & Role Playing: Pirates, Field Commander, X-Men Legends 2, MGA 1 & 2, Kingdom of Paradise. The games above generally received very good marks i.e. 80%+ at least and IMHO are indicative of a cross section of games for the PSP. |
This list is a large part of the reason that the PSP has been a success. More original games such as Nintendogs (if you call that a game), New Super Mario Bros., and Brain Age would have propelled it a lot more I guess. I think Brain Age is coming to the Wii anyway, so maybe then that game won't sell on the DS, but it doesn't matter now.
Most of the above games were developed just for the PSP, even if they are the same series that are on other consoles. You could say New Super Mario Bros. was a port too but obviously it's not because it contains new elements. So I think calling all the games ports is a little premature, but I guess that drought early on with games did lead to this reputation.
The Wii doesn't really have any games either but because of the controller it doesn't get that reputation. Go figure.
