i've rediscovered my PSP. games were going through a drought for a while. then all the sudden this slate of games comes out and they're all awesome. i've been on it nonstop. Pursuit Force is so badass.

[Jiggly Puffy]

Nah, I have a psp and none of the games look good to me but I do have a ds and it kicks ass with Jump Super STars, Mario Kart DS, and other games that are comming out and the wifi is so great

[kirbs84]

I don't have one, but if I did, I'd definitely get the GTA game.

haha, you'll fit right in here.

The GTA game was really ambitious and cool and everything, but the controls were so frustrating. i still love to play it, and it's an awesome game, but better controls could have made it so much better.

Lumines is the only game I still have desire to play on my PSP.

Maybe I'll check these games out.

I kinda wish I had a DS--I've been thinking of buying one but I dunno...

[Mitch]

Wow, look at this review:

http://www.gamespot.com/psp/action/daxter/review.html?sid=6146038

Is this the first PSP game besides Lumines to get a 9.0 or above?

Edit: Whoa, what's up with all these great-rated PSP games lately?...Guess I'm going to make a trip to EBGames sometime this week to pick up Daxter and maybe Syphon Filter.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Yeah, there's definitely been a good rush of games. Syphon Filter being the most surprising. It's been getting good reviews all across the boards.

Plus all the features and periherals(sp?) they announced earlier in the week.

P.S. - If you want an average of all the reviews, check out gamerankings.com or metacritic.com.

Kutaragi went on to unveil new peripherals and updates for the PSP. He unveiled two peripherals during the presentation: An add-on USB camera (PSP-300) and a GPS receiver unit (PSP-290).

The first game to use the USB camera, which features a microphone that will support online video chat, will be a PSP version of EyeToy, which is slated for release in September. A month later, SCE will provide a firmware update that gives the PSP video/voice over IP (VVoIP) functionality on its own. Kutaragi also noted that the USB camera could be twisted around, allowing users to shoot pictures and video both away from and toward themselves.

The PSP's GPS receiver uses the standard WGS84 reference system. It can get a satellite fix within 40 seconds after starting, and its coordinates are updated once per second. As the first game to make use of the peripheral, SCE is currently developing a GPS-enabled Hot Shots Golf for an October release. Some data libraries for the GPS receiver have already been released to third-party publishers so they can begin making use of the peripheral in their games.

SCE is also planning a number of software upgrades for the PSP. In spring, the company will add Macromedia Flash Player (version 6.0) to its Web browser, Chinese fonts, and support for playing audio via RSS Channels. A few months later in the summer, the handheld will also get support for video via RSS Channels, and an expansion of its UMD video profiles.

However, the biggest upgrade will come between autumn and winter, when Sony plans to launch its "E-Distribution" digital delivery system, which will allow users to download games onto PSPs. Kutaragi further surprised the audience by revealing that SCE is working on a PSone emulator for the PSP that can run games using a close approximation of the original code. Pending approval from third-party publishers, SCE could offer original PlayStation game downloads to PSP owners by year's end.

Thanks. That "E-Distribution" digital delivery system sounds sick.

Definitely.

[Darren McLeod]

did that hot shots golf game ever come out on PSP?

[DroppedUrPocket]

There's been one, yes. Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee was an early title. It is one of my favorites.

[Darren McLeod]

yeah, cause i never hear that game brought up when people talk about their PSPs, yet that was one of the only two games i've cared about thus far in PSP's library (Lumines being the other one)

Lumines is addicting as fuck.

It's addictive...pretty much like Lumines. There's like 500 different pieces of clothing, clubs, and accesories to unlock.

[SLADE775]

meh

[MLLMillenium]

Took them long enough.

[Mitch]

I was thinking of getting rid of my PSP but I'm about to go trade in some games and buy Daxter.

Haha. I would seriously wait, unless you need the money. It's off to an extremely fucking slow agonizing start ASIDE FROM HOMEBREW, but it will be worth it eventually. I would keep it till E3 (May) and if you don't see anything that's going to give you a boner there, go ahead and sell it off.

[MLLMillenium]

Metroid. Prime. Hunters.

I'm not sure you read my post correctly. I said I was thinking of selling my PSP due to lack of games, but now I'm going to go pick up Daxter for it, so no I'm not selling my PSP.

Well, Daxter is one game. haha. There's a possibility you get bored of Daxter and then feel like selling it again.

[sweethypocrisy]
