Forums - Sony Discussion - The games of 08 : PSP .

Ive created this thread to the suggestion of Darknight_DS . The PSP will have a great year , and Il try to put up the most important games , for all regions . Note this is a list for newer game , and they are in an absolut random order . There where already some great PSP games released in 08 ( ex : Pursuit Force : Extreme Justice , Downstream Panic , PES 08 ) . PS : my descriptions are low-quality , and I have probably tons of mistakes , but I dont want to copy/paste them from another site .



1 . God of War : Chains of Olympus . Kratos is back , this time around hes fighting beasts on the PSP . Will Ready at Dawn be able to impress us again , as they did with Daxter ? Well it seems so . Release date : March 04

only 5 new series from that crop, the psp needs more original games, where is locoroco when you need it



niiice list!

Very excited to get God of War (played the Demo) and Crisis Core (played the Imported version)

In fact, the reason I got my first PSP was for Crisis Core.

but what I'm looking forward most is Dissidia, IGN has a very positive thing to say about it.

Kingdom Heart is going to be the extra icing on the cake.

I don't know anything about Phantasy Star, is it a turnbased RPG?



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

> the PSP misses that feature unfortunatly :(

well, it's not like you can get online on-the-go like myself (2 hours daily commute on the subway),

when you say Real-time, do you mean like Crisis Core or like FFXII?

blah, any RPG is good for PSP at this point.

Some pretty interesting stuff there, most importantly very few PS2 ports. I gotta get a PSP eventually if it keeps getting stuff I want at this rate. ;___;

Seeing Patapon with English text kinda ruins some of the magic for me. It was much cuter with everything in Japanese, so I could only understand a few random words here and there. =P
