And, with cel-shaded cut-scenes that help to tell the story, this PSP game is a real visual feast for the eyes. There are six characters to play as, each boasting their own backstory and secrets to uncover. They also have individual skills that will aid you throughout the levels. The game itself feels like a playable comic book, though not as obviously as games like Comix Zone.
The story is based on Norse Mythology and heavily features dark angels, magic spells, pointy swords, and the realm of Asgard. Gaming and the MCU go hand in hand, right? Make a team of your four favourite fighters and take on challenges. Get bonus points for making teams within the existing Marvel factions — Avengers, X-Men, Defenders etc. This game dropped on all consoles back in , but the PSP version was my favourite handheld port.
It wiped the floor with the GBA version, even though the graphics were simplified. In true RPG fashion, players can uncover different endings depending on which characters are in their group. Unlock other fighters and discover new quests as the game progresses too! The 3rd Birthday takes the 45th spot on this list of the best PSP games of all time, making the third title in the epic Parasite Eve series.
Take control of Aya Brea once again, but this time in a new role. The best part about The 3rd Birthday is the new ability that Aya can now wield while fighting monsters. She can move her soul between other allies, taking control of other NPCs briefly to get the better of her opponents. The Parasite Eve series is known for its creepy monsters and edge-of-your-seat thrilling quests.
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects is up next, bringing classic Marvel heroes and villains up against a horde of new characters. In many ways, this feels and plays like a Marvel version of Super Smash Bros. Players can control Venom, Iron Man, Wolverine, and many more famous faces, with action taking inspiration from a mini comic series that came back in Based on COD3, this portable game is basically a watered down version of the console title, with many of the same maps but different objectives and changes to make play on a smaller console easier and smoother.
Players move through different missions playing as different Allied forces, choosing from Canadian, British, and American troops. Take over bunkers, find out where secret documents are hidden, and rid France of Nazi forces as you gun back enemies from every direction. The PSP might be small, but the multiplayer on this game is also incredibly mighty.
All of the Tactical Ogre games are, for want of a better phrase, hard as nails. Put your grey matter to the test with battles on carefully planned grids, tactical manoeuvres, and more puzzling gameplay that you can shake a spear at.
The isometric top-down view gives players a great vantage point of all the whole battlefield. WWE All Stars takes the 41st spot in this list of the best PSP games of all time, bringing all star wrestling action into the palms of your hands. In many ways, All Stars players like the Wrestlemania arcade game.
There are over improvements from the previous game in Fifa 09 included a new collision detection system. With new moves and character profiles that match the players big dudes can knock down small dudes and cheat just like in the real game , this was the most realistic Football game ever… until Fifa 10 came out. Live the action of improving their skills on the go and working to be a proper team player.
Remember the smart controls in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe too? Well, players new to Fifa can use special controls to make them as good as advanced players until they learn the ropes.
Many gamers actually pronounce the 12 as Duodecim, which seems a lot cooler than sticking a in the title. The number 12 does play a big part in this game however, with the plot focusing on the 12th war between Cosmos and Chaos. In pretty much every way, this game is similar to the original Dissidia Final Fantasy.
It features map-based combat where two characters battle it out to see who is victorious. Pull off bravery attacks and steal bravery points from players too chicken to beat you. 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!

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.

The franchise rose to prominence on the PlayStation 2 thanks to its highly stylized world and unique characters. The dynamic duo is tasked with exploring planets all while trying to rescue a girl named Luna that has been kidnapped by robots. This time, weapons can be upgraded as players progress through the story.
This allows for a considerable amount of strategic planning based on individual fighting styles. There are also some nifty tools that must be utilized to maximize exploration. These tools are presented in unique fashion. One common pitfall for single player games that rely on the strength of their story is the absence of a challenge. Luckily, upon completion of the game, the player is asked to embark on the same adventure at a much higher difficulty level.
This feature is called Challenge Mode and it is prefect for those who breezed through Size Matters. It also adds replay value. Final Fantasy VII released in as one of the most legendary video games to ever grace our screens. This game was developed for the PSP as opposed to being a port from a home console.
That has a considerable impact on the quality of this game. Everything from the graphics to the controls is fine tuned to work well on the PSP. The game definitely looks beautiful from a graphic standpoint. Crisis Core is the quintessential action role playing game. It does not stray too far away from the traditional Final Fantasy mechanics.
It does however succeed in introducing new elements. The real time combat system allows players to defeat enemies in distinctive ways. No one battle will feel similar to another, which adds a great sense of variety to the gameplay. The soundtrack is exceptional and combines nostalgia from Final Fantasy VII with some modern tracks that form a wonderful union. Crisis Core does exhibit minor issues. One of these issues would be the length of the game. Unfortunately, it only lasts about 11 hours, which can seem brisk to some.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City was an instant classic when it released back in At the time, the series had been building up steam at an incredible pace. As the fourth instalment in the franchise Vice City is widely regarded as the game that made the Grand Theft Auto franchise what it is today.
Vice City is a fictional city that draws inspiration from Miami. Truthfully, it would have been impossible for Rockstar Games to pick a better location to adapt. Vice City Stories takes place two years prior to Vice City. In many ways it acts as a prequel to the original.
Several of the same characters return as do the cast of voice actors. The series has always been known for its use of Hollywood stars and this game is no different. The story follows brothers Victor and Lance as they aim to build their criminal empire in Vice City.
Both featured briefly in the original Vice City so its nice to see this game expand on their origin story. The open world environment that makes Grand Theft Auto games so unique is back once more.
Players can move with freedom at their own pace. Beating the game does not feel like a chore due to this non-guided progression. Debate surrounded the original game due to the glorification of violence, crime and drugs.
It also came under fire for its racial profiling. Much of that is still present in Vice City Stories making it strictly for adults. At the peak of the street racing craze birthed from the immense success of The Fast and Furious movie franchise, Need for Speed was the lead racing video game.
As the ninth installment in the Need for Speed franchise, Most Wanted is an incredibly polished racing game. There is a ton of content to delve into. The story mode is superb and, as the title suggests, the goal is to become the most wanted street racer in the city of Rockport. You can also play online via the PSP to much enjoyment. The online feature is as great as one could expect from a portable online experience.
There are some issues regarding connectivity however these are minor concerns in the grand scheme of things. The graphics and car variety combine to provide the best aspects of this game. The roster of luxury cars and exotic streetcars is a blast to dig into.
Most Wanted offers some great customization options. You car will develop in performance and aesthetic as you progress in the game. The graphics are gritty with dark undertones that play well with the theme of street racing. The controls are also extremely intuitive for a handheld racing game.
In fact many believe the handheld version to be superior to the console version due to the controls alone. Unfortunately, the enemy AI in this iteration is highly questionable in their actions. In this case it would be the police department. Once the cops are on your tail it is game over for most. This essentially punishes the player for playing the game properly. As the sixth instalment in the franchise, expectations were naturally high.
Birth by Sleep continues the trend of prequels exclusively made for the PSP. This game is a direct narrative prequel to the original Kingdom Hearts. Luckily, there is enough innovation introduced to the combat system to sidestep any notions of stagnation. There is no denying that the loading screens are painfully slow. Secondly, the dialogue is rather weak. Throughout the play through interactions are few and far between. When the rare portion of dialogue appears the disappointment is palpable.
These are minor letdowns in the grand scheme of things. There is so much to love here, from the stunning vibrant visuals to the endearing original music; Birth by Sleep is one of the best PSP games around. The unique three-character setup is also quite enjoyable.
The ability to control three characters offers distinct gameplay variety. The action-filled gameplay is relentless. The new features such as Focus and Dimension Link add much needed depth and make this game so much more than a typical hack and slash. Ultimately, Birth of Sleep succeeds in creating new Kingdom Hearts fans. Its accessibility as a prequel means that this is the perfect Kingdom Hearts game to discover the beloved franchise. As with any game not designed for a specific device, concerns arise regarding its quality.
First and foremost there are some aspects exclusive to the PSP version. Kitana and Jax are noteworthy additions seeing as they are franchise favorites. There is also a new playable game mode only available in Unchained.
The mode is titled Endurance and players must last as long as possible against a wave of never ending opponents. Although the presence of an online feature is a welcome component, its quality is rather disappointing.
Anyone who plays even a few fights online will notice consistent frame dropping and lag. Stage interaction not only adds another layer to fighting strategy but it also provides some laugh-inducing moments as players lose to the stage as opposed to their enemy. Performing a fatality remains a highly entertaining way of proving your superiority over your opponent.
The plot is characteristically thin for a Mortal Kombat game. It is a good thing that the game emphasizes combat strategy over storytelling. When it comes to quality racing games, Wipeout is often overlooked as an industry-leading franchise. Yet, Sony Interactive Entertainment has continued to publish racing games imbued with such unique gameplay. It turns out a portable racing experience perfectly suits the gameplay Wipeout is notorious for. Wipeout Pure was released as a launch title for the PSP.
Players would take control of airships and race them in the anti-gravity racing league called FX The racing mechanics are what makes this game excel above the level of an average racing game. For starters, players must choose the airship that matches their style of racing. Each of the eight ships has been imbued with different racing characteristics. These variations in speed and strength offer a ton of gameplay variety. Wipeout Pure racing utilizes weapons and shields.
Weapons can be used against other racers on the track, while shield levels determine how many hits your ship can take. If your shield levels hit zero your ship will explode, eliminating you from the race.
Track design is one of the standout features. The futuristic atmosphere is well executed on every track.
