God of War: Chains of Olympus- http://youtube.com/watch?v=sJrTVg-TG_M

One of the best reviewed and one of the most popular games on the PS2 has its own exclusive game for the PSP. Made by the same people who made the game Daxter (which also got great reviews) comes God of War: Chains of Olympus.

Final Fantasy: Crisis Core- http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fr9fc3KDt8M

Another great looking game coming to the PSP. Unlike the other FFVII spin-off this is a true RPG. People are saying the battle system is suppost to be like the one in Final Fantasy 12.

Monster Hunter Freedom 2- http://youtube.com/watch?v=M3WRP_Jmh7o

This game was a major success in Japan selling around 1 Million copy's. This has become the best selling PSP game in Japan. While the first game wasnt as big success as it was in Japan the sequal is looking very well. With the large number of imports from Japan expect this game to sell a lot in Europe and the States.

Brave Story- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPid5crYf48

While this game aint my cup of peaches it is on a lot of peoples wishlists. Well we will have to see how this game turns out once its released.

Silent Hill: Origins- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p1c1LuIxgM

While I have never played one of these games on any other console its shaping up to look very nice. The gameplay is suppost to be some what like Resident Evil 4 which was my favorite PS2 game so I cant wait for this game.

Crush- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jHgHUgP11w

In my opinion this is one of the most origanal games thats coming to the PSP. If you liked the New Paper Mario game then you should like this since it gives you the options of switching from 2D to 3D in game. This is one games thats not getting a lot of buzz but looks like it will turn out nicely.

Final Fantasy Tactics- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_BSk0ONwd0

While I never played a Tactics game before I really want this one. This is suppost to be a remake of the PSX game with some improved graphics.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8-mX9BXujc

Like many of these games on this list I havent really ever played it. I have played the 3D ones and man did they suck. I do love 2D games though so expect this game to make a big splash.

Jean D'arc- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGqjZp_7vMU

This game is being made by level 5 the same people who brought you Dragon Quest 8 and Rogue Galaxy so you know its gunna be good.

Crazy Taxy Fare Wars- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJkj7xHugno

If you ever played the Dreamcast version you will know what your getting yourself into. The only thing im woundering if it can hold up even after all of these GTA games have come out. I wounder if the game will have the same impact it had years ago. Well we will have to wait and see.

Final Fantasy 1- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibZ0FXbqaFM

Its the origanal so how cant you be excited? Well maybe because its been remade like 3 times. Still if you havent played it look forward to it.

Final Fantasy 2- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXt5rBLdLTw

Same as 1!

Dead Head Fred- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MRfODAUMAg

Hey its origanal and looks kind of cool so why not. I have never played a game that lets you switch heads and with each head that has different ability's it looks sweet.

Grand Turismo PSP-  http://youtube.com/watch?v=r7y4Sv9AKjs

This is a portable version of the insanely popular driving series. If this is like the others expect a AAA title coming your way.

 

GAMES WITH NO INFO BUT ARE COMING:

Elder Scrolls Oblivion: Travels

Devil May Cry

Wipeout Pulse

Ridge Racer 2

Kingdom Hearts

PaRappa the Rapper

So what do you think? PS: If I missed any please tell me!



fgsduilfgasuklwgefidslzfgb4yiogwefhawi4fbielat5gy240bh3e

It does all seem pretty sweet...almost enough to make me get a PSP. But since I want to build a new PC, and there's new Wii games at the holidays, I won't be getting a PSP until next year.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Definitely interested in God of War, FF:CC, and a possible Devil May Cry on the PSP platform. Good stuff. I wish Team ICO would make something for the PSP.



I'm definitely really excited for the PSP this year. The PSP is putting together such a solid library. You might've missed a couple of games, or just chose not to include them b/c of so little info. I'm personally still holding out hope for GT Mobile, and Square has said they're gonna announce a new game in the Final Fantasy universe for the PSP in a couple of weeks at their latest expo. But these games probably won't come out this year. There's also a Disgaea game coming out. I've never played 'em but they have a loyal following. Also, hopefully Sony steps up the PS1 support.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

I've been saying this for the longest. Sony could be pulling in a very decent stream of revenue if they would open the PSN to the PSP so that all PSP users could purchase PS1 games. I'm forced to use a custom firmware and disreputable means to have my PS1 fix on the go :(

Ya dont expect that happening since the whole team has moved on to a PS3 project.

Only thing missing is Gran Turismo to round out a impressive line up.



good to see more ports coming to psp.



How could you forget about PaRappa?!
