Anybody got any recommendations for the PSP? I picked up a red 3000 model yesterday with Metal Gear Peace Walker and I've ordered the Valkyrie Profile game too but I'm not clued up on the console at all? last time I played one was years ago and that was just for Ridge Racer for a week!

Any suggestions welcome

One game I would absolutely reccomend is Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core... even if you haven't played FFVII or aren't into Final Fantasy games at all.
Gameplay, Graphics, Music, Story - all great!

I've tended to stay away from anything Advent Children related as it all stinks a bit of lameness and cash-in

still the PSP line up is pretty slim so I might pick it up? I know it's on offer locally paired with Dissidia for just £20 so I may check it out

Got the PSP Gran Turismo and noticed it has no career mode D: that's like the point of the game??? a bit soulless without it.

Probably gonna hack the firmware and get the NES emulators on it for Contra and Mario etc

Crisis Core takes place before FFVII... so I wouldn't connect it with Advent Children - except for taking place in the same universe they don't rly have much in common.
Dissidia's a lot of fun, too. Good single player campaign, that keeps you busy for quite a while. I just wished they didn't spoiler as much during the story-mode, since I haven't played all games of the series (yet).

Valkyria Chronicles 2.. If it's anywhere close to the 1st game (which was for PS3), then it should be NICE!! too bad they decided to release the second one for PSP only..

I've had a lot of fun lately playing classic PS1 games on the PSP.

1) Final Fantasy Tactics - the remake was confusing at first because they retranslated everything (although it's easier to follow the plot now) but it's really gorgeous and I love the new art that's been incorporated. I'm really, really bad at playing games long enough to finish them and this might have been the first game I've beaten in a decade or so. Playing during breaks at work does help

2) Final Fantasy 7 - Just downloaded this (10$) from the PSN network (via the PS3)... wow! I never knew they had ported this on the PSP til a few days ago! So far it looks just like the classic version, but it loads faster. I'm pretty sure this one will last me all through fall!

Best game on PSN is Syndicate Wars! well providing you can get 3 other humans to join you.

On the whole I think the list of PS1 games available is tragic (UK store at least) most of them are garbage and some classics just aren't there.

Why is Tekken 2 there when 3 was king? where's Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, Parasite Eve, Crash Bandicoot 3, any Resident Evil, Die Hard Trilogy, Wipeout 2097 (we only have the poorer 1st one) etc..

It's been out for years and the choice of "Classics" is a shambles and half of them aren't even good (back then or now).

Absolutely seconded!

It becomes even more tragic, comparing the European/US-American stores to the Japanese one... =(
At least the US store has fair pricing.
