The main change from the first game is the single player gameplay. Players now take characters through a game world reminiscent of the other Final Fantasy titles, exploring every inch of the map and taking part in random events along the way. Losing yourself in a dark and dingy dungeon with your mates at your back is why we live for these games!
PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is the way to play the game. The deluxe version has all the features of the expansion with tonnes of new levels and features for gamers to enjoy.
This is tower defence at its finest. The aim of the game is to build gnarly towers in order to stop big brutes from getting to a specific location. Keep your creatures alive, defend your town, hut, or base, and gun down bad guys using the different weapons associated with each tower. As racing titles go, Ridge Racer is one of the best. Blast through 24 circuits from the Ridge Racer series including the original arcade game, drifting around corners and racing into the sunset.
The graphics are great, and classic tracks such as Crimonsonrock Pass look spectacular, even on a small screen! Those of you bored of replaying Mario Kart 7 on the DS need this in your lives.
Of course, having Nitrous boost at your disposal instantly makes any game better. Drifting around corners while accelerating at insane speeds is the stuff that dreams are made of. The kids in Persona 2 use amplified parts of their personalities that turn into warriors in battle.
Fans of Fire Emblem will love the tactical turn-based gameplay that makes JRPGs so damn fun, along with the brilliant artwork that goes into the on-screen speech exchanges between characters. One cool feature is the rumour system. Rumours can be spread from NPCs by players and will eventually come true, affecting the entire game world.
Fans of the Trails series will no doubt already know all about this epic game. I can still remember the first time I visited the Liberl Kingdom, getting stuck into spellbinding battles and meeting all the colourful characters that live there. Grid based battles are the aim of the game in this Legend of Heroes titles, that and exploring, killing monsters, and collecting every single item that you can lay your hands on. I look for an immersive and engaging fantasy experience when I play games like this, and the Trails series is dripping with so much nerdy goodness that I could play Trails in the Sky for days on end.
Wipeout Pure is the first of two Wipeout titles in this list PSP fans can probably guess which other one ranked higher! If you love racing games but think that the wheels get in the way, then Wipeout Pure should be on your list. Anti-gravity racing in space with courses that make you close your eyes as you go around corners….
The only thing that could make this game any better is adding intense futuristic weapons into the mix. Pure is one of the most unpredictable games going; with speeds like these, the outcome of the race is anyones guess!
And the music; nothing gets you pumped like breakneck acceleration with banging tunes blasting into your headphones! Block matching gameplay twinned with sound and light patterns make for a visual feast for the senses, and with new backgrounds and landscapes to discover as you progress through the game, it constantly evolves and stays fresh for the player.
Having said that, this original story in the GTA canon brings all the open-world skulduggery that we love to the PSP with real style. As always, anything is possible and highly probably in this game.
Players take to the streets to survive amongst Triad wars while getting caught up with every type of crime and corruption imaginable. In a step away from the traditional GTA feel, Chinatown Wars portrays all the action from above instead of behind the character. The PSP port does away with the cel shaded graphics used on the DS and looks less like an interactive comic book, however, bringing it back in line with other titles from the series.
Set fire to everything, drive every car dangerously, and live like an absolute bawler on the mean streets of Chinatown! Championing people who wear far too few clothes, this port is an updated version of the original with fine tuned features and new elements that make the gameplay oh so sweeter. One of the things that I love about Afternoon of Darkness apart from the fact that the name sounds like a really weird after-school club is the fact that you can keep upgrading your characters long after the main story has finished.
Syphon Filter games are known for their stealthy snooping missions and picking off enemies in stressful situations. Gabe Logan is back for more covert action. Shooting around corners, using advanced military technology, infiltrating enemy bases with no knowledge of what might be waiting for him; these are the kinds of things that Gabe lives for.
The graphics in Black Mirror are superb, as is the gameplay and the sheer amount of firepower you can control throughout the different levels. Players resume the role of Gabe Logan and occasionally Lian Xing , special operatives for a secret government agency. The non-linear , open-ended feel of the previous game has been reverted to the linear gameplay. Several types of weapons and vision modes are introduced. Players can now hide against walls and shoot around corners. However, the roll ability is noticeably absent.
You might have guessed from the name, but this title has a hidden catch that makes everything a heck of a lot harder. Each single-player game mode, of which there are many, features a recurring game mechanic in which players must complete challenges and tasks in seconds or under. Gamers control a hero through a series of levels with an aim of finding and destroying a gnarly boss in half-a-minute. Like all good RPGs, weapons and skills can be levelled up once overworld challenges have been successfully completed.
If most games prove tediously easy, then this could be one of the most challenging and best PSP games for you! Dark Resurrection is an update to the Tekken 5 home console title and follows the same story.
Compete to earn the rankings of Dark Lord and Divine Fist by battling against an epic roster of fighters. The Arcade Mode from Tekken 5 has been updated with 12 new rankings to achieve, which is great for killing time on a long train journey or summer days under your favourite tree in the park.
Gamers fight against ghosts of other fighters, a little like a time trial on Mario Kart. This game is set in the kingdom of Altago. While out trying to find adventures to keep them occupied, Adol and Dogi get thrown into jail after trying to save a woman from being harassed. In a bit of a swtich up from the other YS games, YS Seven sees players choosing weapon types to maximise or minimise damage rather than swapping between weapons and magic.
Parties can have up to three people in them, and hitting enemies charges up meters for upgrading skills and unleashing super attacks. Give it a go and let us know your thoughts! On the loose is a PSP remake of the original Ape Escape game, allowing fans of the series to play the home console version on the go! Players must capture apes using all sorts of gadgets and technical marvels, working their way through lots of Spyro-esque designed levels in search of silly simians on the run. Speaking of silly Simians, players chase after a monkey named Specter who gains enhanced intelligence and a bit of a nasty manner after donning a special helmet.
Armed with gadgets galore, gamers control Spike as he tries to stop Specter from sending his monkey minions back through time and rewriting history! If you like the graphical stylings of Space Station Silicon Valley and enjoy chasing after naughty primates, then this game is definitely for you!
Based on a fictional TV program, players must take part in a series of events in order to blow things up. By performing stunts, overtaking players mid-air, and driving like a Formula 1 god, players can fill their power meter and trigger an explosion that could totally affect the outcome of the race.
Players can open up new sections, block parts of a track, or create obstacles that your opponents have to tackle. The PSP version has some subtle differences from the main console versions, including fine-tuning of the game mechanics and alterations that make racing on the PSP easier. A new track featuring all three docks in one lap appears as a PSP only level too. As with the original Mega Man title, our blue-helmeted protagonist must stop the evil Dr Wily from destroying the world with his eight ginormous Robot Masters.
Mega Man might look mighty small in this title, but the Robot Masters still look pretty formidable! This is one of the best PSP games to play on long journeys and a great game to pick up and play while relaxing.
Killzone: Liberation takes place eight weeks or two months if you prefer after the end of the first Killzone game for the PS2. As well as shooting bad guys and trying to stay alive, there is a collecting element to the game too. By hoarding money cases that you find and completing certain tasks, players can upgrade weapons, discover new abilities, and eventually carry more items that can help them throughout the game. With five stages comprising of twenty levels to play through, this is a game that will certainly give you value for money.
Legends is essentially a mash-up of the first three Burnout games. All of the modes from the previous games feature in Legends including World Tour, Eliminator, and Face-Off, the latter giving users the chance to win legendary cars. The best modes, however, have to be Road Rage and Pursuit. Road Rage requires players to drive badly, earning points for causing other cars to crash, while Pursuit sees gamers taking control of a cop car as they take down drivers.
There are 95 cars to unlock and race with in Burnout Legends, all of which are from Burnout 2 and 3. If you lose, however, then you lose your collector car! This version is actually a sequel to the original Little Big Planet and sees Sackboy taking a trip around the world on his holidays. From Persia to Australia, and the Alpine Mountains to China, Sackboy meets different native characters from each of the countries he visits who help him on his many adventures. There are 23 main levels and 14 exciting mini levels to play through as Sackboy collects prize bubbles containing everything from stickers to new costumes.
One of the best parts of this game was the level creator, where players could make their own levels for Sackboy to traverse through.
Gamers could upload these for other users to play all over the globe, but sadly, the Little Big Planet servers closes forever in They might claim that size matters, but this portable powerhouse is an absolute belter of a game, proving that handheld titles can be just as exciting as their home console counterparts.
Once again, the PSP provides stunning graphics. And despite being interupted from their holidays, Ratchet and Clank set about rescuing a captured girl and dealing with the Technomites with a smile on their faces.
Upgrade weapons, acquire armour, and work your way through tonnes of exciting levels alongside lots of memorable characters that never fail to pull you back into the game time and time again.
Size Matters gained the accolade of handheld of the month back in with critics loving the pint-sized adventure and some of the new features it boasted. I love Ratchet and Clank, and the formula that make this series great has proven successful once again! This game looks superb on the PSP, giving us yet another example of how incredible and ahead of its time this device truly is.
There are eight teams in Wipeout Pulse, and each ship has an energy field that protects the ship from bashes and crashes. If your energy runs out, then your ship explodes! The game only features twelve tracks, but players can race these both forwards and backwards, essentially providing a mirror mode and taking the number to Up to 8 people could battle it out online using some of the best weapons known to gaming-kind, stealthily moving through trenches and battling it out on dark and shady-looking maps.
The multiplayer servers are now sadly offline, but players can still enjoy the epic story mode in this game. With Resistance 2 in the disc tray, gamers could fire up Retribution and play it using the PS3 controller. The DualShock rumble worked perfectly too! This is a game where you have to be present and alert at all times, a title where you WILL die a lot and have to come back to the same point and repeat the process all over again.
It requires more patience than a Christmas shopper in a Best Buy queue and the planning that you need to put into taking out some of the bigger foes is tantamount to military strategy. That being said, the feeling that you get when you finally bring down the big monsters and stand victorious is probably up there with winning an Olympic medal. As the player, you are tasked with moving Jeanne and her team through a very different looking France as she battles demon soldiers that are fighting on the side of the British empire.
Wielding a sacred armlet that grants her special powers, Jeanne must push back the forces of evil in a turn-based RPG that has surprises hidden around every corner.
While there are a ton of handheld gaming consoles that have been popular over the years, there are also a lot of them that just about everyone has forgotten about. Although some of these are fun for hardcore retro game collectors, most of the rest of the world completely forgot they were ever sold. The Nokia N-Gage was released in and was discontinued in This handheld console was Nokia's attempt to blend their already successful mobile phone line with a handheld gaming device and unfortunately, it wasn't exactly successful in either regard.
This device only sold a few million units before it was discontinued and although it had a number of popular games on, including Call of Duty , Tomb Raider , and The Sims Bustin' Out , the gaming world has basically forgotten the N-Gage. Sony's PlayStation line of consoles is still really popular in the gaming world and even outside of their home consoles, their handhelds have been pretty big hits.
Instead of having the buttons on the main body, it featured a sliding mechanism that would reveal the controls underneath the screen. Unfortunately for Sony, this version of the console was not as successful as the original PSP and was only sold for two years.
This console was unique because it could be linked up to a TV and played like a home console, something else that set it apart from the Game Boy. Unfortunately, without a lot of the big-name games that Nintendo had, this console was mostly ignored by consumers and game developers and has since been forgotten. The Game. Unfortunately, despite being heavily advertised and a pretty unique handheld console, the Game.
The Atari Lynx was known for being the first full-color handheld game console and was sold from through This console played games from cartridges and was manufactured by Atari, an already big name in the world of gaming at this time.
Unfortunately, despite the Lynx being a relative success at launch, the fact that it was released so close to the Game Boy's release and the fact that Atari started to shift its focus away from this console toward the end of its lifespan meant that the Lynx has mostly been forgotten in favor of other retro consoles.
The Sega Game Gear was sold from its launch in through when Sega discontinued the console. The Game Gear was marketed as a handheld version of the Sega Master System and was designed to compete with the Game Boy with its portable form and full-color screen. Unfortunately, critics weren't happy with the Game Gear's short battery life or that the console's library lacked a lot of original games that couldn't just be played elsewhere.
This, paired with the fact that Sega spent much of the Game Gear's lifespan focused on other projects, lead to this console being forgotten. Along with the original WonderSwan and the SwanCrystal, it was one of three handheld consoles in the lineup that was sold from through This console was popular in Japan because of the large library of licensed first-party games, many of which were based on popular anime at the time.
