So I'm really enjoying my new psp go so far, actually playing it more and more.
So I thought I would make a list of what I have played so far and my impressions on the games.
Also, feel free to make suggestions as to what games I should try.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep:
I had never played a KH game before this(well, except for the meh gba/ds games), so this is more or less my intro to the series. I'm only starting the game, but the fact I get to keep 3 save files, one for each character, pleases me greatly.So far, I've only really been playing with Aqua, though I will say none of the characters have come off as annoying yet, which is good.
Verdict: KeyBlades > Gunblades.
DISGEA Afternoon of Darkness:
I tried this one just a little and I can easily say I prefer the PSP version over the DS version. The shop system kind of confused me due to the number of repetitions with the items, though It's nothing much.
Verdict: TO MANY ITEMS! Also, how can you sleep for 2 years and act so normal?
Half-Minute Hero:
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME. At first, I was wondering just how the hell will I ever be able to beat the game....but than I beat it(or a least the RPG part) in one sitting. This game is pretty much my favorite so far, as well as one of my smaller games(ranging at about 104mb). It's fun, hilarious and just all around AMAZING!
Verdict: BEST RPG EVER!
Phantasy Star:
So far, I like the game and the world it's set in. The weapon system kind of reminds me of fable, only better and more useful. The character design at the start is maybe a little to much(yet somehow not), but it's nothing really game breaking. Oh, and did I mention they have robots as a playable race.
Verdict: The game had me at female robot.
Project Diva 2(Vocaloid Game):
I will be honest here and say I don't really like Vocaloid music, just the character designs. Though I did download the game, it was out of curiosity and I soon after downloaded a save file for it(cheap, but whatever). The game is kind of like DDR, Guitar hero and other music games in the like, only with vocaloid songs and characters. The only real downsides to the game is just how hard it is to land a hit as well as the fact Gumi is not in the game. It's not the hit detection is off, it's just that it takes some getting used to since the "nodes" keep appearing everywhere and you can easily mess up. Play it only if you're a fan or curious about Vocaloids (the songs aren't to bad to be honest).
Verdict: NO GUMI, NO MONEY!
BlazBlue:
I didn't like the version I got for console(360) due to how slow it felt compared to marvel and even street fighter. However, on PSP, it's by far one of my favorites. It just feels so fast compared to other fighters on psp and versions I've played on console. It's also more upbeat.It's a great Handheld port for BlazBlue and is better than the console version. It's pretty much a must have.
Verdict: God Tier.
BlazBlue2:
Same as above only slower and with more characters and options. I'm keeping this one on my PSP only because it has tutorials, though I might go back to the original since it feels allot more fast and is more fun to play.
Verdict: Top Tier.
Person 3 Portable:
I will say this: the rpg aspects of the game are fun.....whenever present. I honestly went into this game expecting something more like Persona 1, but all I found was a visual novel. Heck, half the games for the PSP are visual novels(well, in japan at least). It doesn't make the game "bad", but it does make me worry that I will miss a "character flag" and not get all the characters, especially the ones I am looking forward to using in battle and getting to know.
Verdict: Will dig into the game more later, when I have time.....and a route chart.
Monster Hunter Freedom:
I can't for the life of me understand why, but I just couldn't get into the game. I guess it's one of those "oh, it takes a while to get into it" games, so I will have to try it again later. However, I got other games I want to try/play more than this, so it's on the side burner for now.
Verdict: I just can't get into this.
Dissidia Final Fantasy:
WHY YOU NO SELPHIE OR RITZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that that's out of the way, I really ain't got much to say honestly. Haven't played much of the game and, well, I don't think it will be something I really like. For now, It's on the side, waiting to be played.
Verdicts: Waiter, why is there RPG elements in my Fighter?
Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core:
I thought I was not gonna like this....but I did. So far, the game is good and the fights flow into one another like no other FF game has ever been able to do. So far, the character isn't annoying even though he is really energetic. He's actually kind of charming with his "I want to be a hero" attitude, kind of like a 10 year old kid wanting to be his favorite superhero.
The whole thing is amazing a proof that a modern FF game can be good/not annoying if the creators jsut put some thought into the whole thing. Will dig into it more, of course.
Verdict: Hack and Slash Bliss.
Megaman Powered up:
Everyone knows I love megaman, so you can guess how much I love this game.
I really enjoy what they did with this title, and the art is pretty damn good.
The addition of oilman and time man are well done, since they fit with what the original robot masters where(robots with abilities that where aimed to help people, not combat).
The inclusion of roll, protoman and all the robot masters as playable characters is also a good addition that makes this one of my favorite games so far. I freaking love it.
Verdict: Great Game and great remake.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 max:
TO MANY OPTIONS! Not as fun as blazblue. No Ibuki.
Verdict: It's alright.
Lunar Silverstar Harmony:
Played lunar Legend on GBA and since then have been a fan of the games.
The one is great, giving an all around boost to the version I played on GBA. Will play more.
Verdict: It's Lunar, so play it and love it.
Little Big Planet:
It's fun, but just...meh. It's something to kill of a good 15-20 minutes every now and then, but I'm not really that into it. Will play more.
Verdict: Small World, Big ideas, Not much going on honestly.
Breath of Fire:
I love Breath of Fire and I really like the second one. So far, 3 is okay , though I need to play more to get to Nina and get things going. need to play more.
Verdict: It's BoF, so it's going to get better and better once you get older.
KillZone:
Not really my thing. No plans on continuing.
Verdict: Meh.
RockBand Unpluged:
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE! This just doesn't work for RB at all. They force you to play all 4 insturments, forcing you to switch between them. If I want to play the guitar, I can't. If I want to play the drums, I can't. I have to play all 4 instruments at the same time and it ruins the game for me. I would love to play it, but it just doesn't work like I want it to and it rubs me the wrong way. If not for the fact you are forced to switch instrument every 5 sec or so, the game is fine, heck it's a damn good port.
Verdict: I didn't need a one man band, I just wanted to play guitar games.
Viewtiful joe Red Hot Rumble:
Sorry, but I just couldn't get into this one at all.
Verdict: No comment....like none whatsoever.
Midnight club 3 dub edition:
Damn good port of MC3 and I really like it.
I REally liked MC3 on the Xbox and the psp version is the same game with a few graphical things missing here and there(like no apprent dammage on the car). Need to play more.
Verdict: As good as the first time I played it.
Dead or Alive Paradise:

.......Yeah, Fuck this game.
Verdict: Not even worth a single fuck.
Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron:
HORRIBLE VERSION OF AN OTHERWISE GOOD SERIES! that is all.
Verdict: Heard the SWBF2 port was good, might want to try that one instead.
Megaman Marverick hunter X:
Great remake of the original Megaman X. Although I have not played this one as much as MMPU, it's still one I really enjoyed playing. need to play more.
Verdict: Capcom seems to be better are remakes than sequels.
Ratchet and Clank Size Matters:
Liked it though I've got other games I want to play more than this, so it's on the side.
Verdict: Size does matter when I only have 16 GB to spare.
Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles:
Good game, though I suck at it. It's on the side for now, since I got other games I want to play first.
Verdict: Game is great, I just suck at it
K-ON! Houkago Live!:
Yes, I got the K-ON! game for PSP, surpirsed? So far, it's pretty much a clone of other music games like project diva and rock band, only with songs from K-ON!. It's the biggest game I have so far, topping at about 1.63 gb big! So due to size and the fact that I do indeed have other games I want to play more, I have set this one aside for now since, unlike PD, I don't have an english patch for it....yet.
Verdict: It's K-ON!, so I liked it.
GTA Vice City story:
Honestly, the game started off in a way that confused me as to what the story was all about. it just kind of...started in the middle, if that makes sense. not planning on playing this one much, so eh.
Verdict: Is there a story somewhere?
So yeah, that's pretty much everything I've tried so far. If you got any suggestions as to what I should look into playing, let me know. As for how much I like the console, well let's just say I;ve mostly only been playing with the console for the last few days. It's also more convenient to take with me than my DS was since it's about the sice of a blackbery(it's just a bit bigge than my phone actually). It's been a good buy so far, and it's cool to be on the Play Station side now and being able to play these games I wasn't even aware of, like Hero 30.
