Now both our American and European forumites are able to get their hands on the wonderful PSP, you'll be wanting to get some games! Already the PSP has a large number of titles to choose from and it can be overwhelming knowing where to start, so I've compiled this guide to show off the top twenty highest rated games by Gamespot (yep, it's been expanded as the PSP continues to get cracking titles), as well as recommending the best title in each genre. There are also links to reader reviews if you want even more information, so you've got no excuses if you pick up a duffer now!
NOTE: Where a game's sequel has outscored the original, only the sequel will feature in the list. Well, you wouldn't want the old FIFA when you can pick up the new one!

''Tekken: Dark Resurrection for the PSP is an impressive graphical feat that also delivers everything that makes the Tekken series so great.'' - Jeff Gerstmann

3. [url=http://www.gamespot.com/psp/driving/burnout/index.html]Burnout Legends[/url] = 9.0
''Burnout Legends is the best racer the PSP has to offer, and any PSP owner should definitely check it out.'' - Alex Navarro
Shleco says: ''Whilst it's not quite as polished as Ridge Racer or Wipeout Pure from a technical perspective, the game is still a blast to play thanks to the more aggressive take on driving. Soon you'll be slamming cars into the sides and it gets as fast as it is furious with the later racing classes. With one hundred crash circuits and seventy five levels encompassing races, burning laps, road rage and the welcome return of the Pursuit mode, you'll be entertained for a long time. It really is the best of Burnout.''

''Between the beautiful presentation, the innovative gameplay, and the excellent single-player and multiplayer modes, Lumines may very well be the greatest Tetris-style puzzle game since Tetris itself.'' - Greg Kasavin
Shleco says: ''While graphically it may not have the punch of other PSP titles, the fantastic music and the simple gameplay mechancics will entrance you for hours at a time. There are also some brilliant little puzzle modes, computer battles and time attacks that means you can have a quick play if you have ten minutes spare. Fantastic stuff - can you get the perfect 999999 score?''

''Wipeout Pure is a joy to look at, and it's viscerally satisfying enough to please fans of the series and new players alike.'' - Ryan Davis
Shleco says: ''It feels a lot more like the old Wipeout games and while the steering is initially tricky, the aggressive battling and sense of speed will keep you playing for a long time. It's a mean challenge too and you can get some free extra vehicles and tracks from [url]www.wipeoutpure.com[/url], which is a great way of eeking out every last drop of fun from the game.''

Loco Roco: The Shleco Preview!
We've probably all moaned about the shortage of great original titles on the PSP at some stage but now you can keep your trap shut, because LocoRoco has arrived (in Europe, anyway) and it's here to make you happy.
[IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c54/meenieman/ScreenShot.png[/IMG]
For those not in the know, LocoRoco is a super-cute, super-colourful platform game where you tilt the world instead of moving your character. This is simply done by pressing the L and R shoulder buttons. Click them both at the same time and you'll jump. The only other move at your disposal is to split up your LocoRoco into smaller blobs with a tap of the circle button, which allows you to navigate smaller sections. Once you've worked your way through just hold circle and the LocoRoco merge together once more.
[IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c54/meenieman/ScreenShot-001.png[/IMG]
The simple controls mean it is incredibly easy to get into (though at first I tried to tilt the PSP to move the environment - hmm) but you'll keep on playing. There can be no doubting it exudes charm with vibrant, imaginative and varied worlds as well as through the LocoRoco themselves. All of them react differently to sitting still, with different facial expressions and others squirming around on top of each other. Most endearing of all is their singing. At points of the stage you need a certain amount of LocoRoco to get past an obstacle or warn a collectable or perhaps find a secret. Tap circle to break them up, leave them for a few seconds and then stand agog as your little blob choir give it their all with a performance so sweet that it'd make Simon Cowell burst into tears of joy.
[IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c54/meenieman/ScreenShot-002.png[/IMG]
(Enjoying the screens? I've taken these pictures from the game itself. Tap Select at any time and you can take a photo of your environment. You can then tinker in the menus and put them in the photo folder of your PSP. From there you can make it a new wallpaper or upload shots on the internet to do Sony's viral marketing for them with a charm offensive. Damn, I'm an accomplice!)
[IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c54/meenieman/ScreenShot-003.png[/IMG]
While that may all sound a bit simple it is by no means repetitive. Varied environments are part of the reason (including slippery icy stages that aren't humdrum!) but there's also quite a range of tasks and obstacles to work your way through. You never feel like you are doing the same one thing, just mildly different each time. There are also plenty of secret areas to find, collectables from the MuiMui (cute little blue dudes) for your LocoRoco house (a playground where you can put different platforms together for a LocoRoco to goof around in) and LocoRoco to find. It's extremely unlikely you'll be able to find all 20 LocoRoco in a stage first time, so that makes the replayability factor surprisingly high. This means the game strikes a fine balance of being relatively easy through simple controls and no annoying time limits - it's also incredibly difficult to die - as well as offering a challenge for the more experienced player.
[IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c54/meenieman/ScreenShot-004.png[/IMG]
To me LocoRoco has become as much part of my Summer as the hot weather, strawberries and cream, and wasps. But LocoRoco is far better than all that. It's the biggest grin I've had on my face playing a PSP game since I go Lumines and Ridge Racer over a year ago. If you have the machine you really should consider getting this. The best platformer since Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat? Probably.
(Psst! Feeling flush and can't wait for September before getting a slice of LocoRoco lovin'? You can order from this [url=http://www.game.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=11249%26amp;mid=328756]British game store[/url] and get the game quickly. They ship to [url=http://www.game.co.uk/help/shipping.aspx]America and Canada[/url] and while it is expensive, other people who've used them in the past haven't had problems with them. Tempted?)
NOTE: The opinions of Shleco do not necessarily reflect the views of the Gamespot website. They would if the editors had any sense though!

Remember to talk up the games you love - I'll be checking this thread regularly and updating it with your picks and recommendations!
Glad to see Virtua Tennis getting two correct and honest reviews of 9/10 and 91% respectively, a truly addictive and great game as its always been.
I just bought fired up and its a pretty good game, but 54% wahts up with that. Oh well if anyones played hardware online and enjoyed it then you will enjoy fired up.

Can't wait for these games? You can order European games from [url]http://shop.game.net/default.aspx[/url], who ship to the US. However, bear in mind this is a pretty expensive way of getting games but they are the only retailer who ship to America.
[/QUOTE] europeans are so lucky they have great games for a launchi want toca racing and ape academy!!!!
nice thread.
Nice thread.
ok
Great thread.
I can't believe the discrepancy in scores for Ape Academy. I had been looking forward to that one, but only saw the Eurogamer before this thread and was disappointed. Maybe now I ought to at least rent it (when it comes stateside, I'm not in that much of a rush).
thank you shleco.
Hmm... Well I disagree with Tiger Woods being on there and Hotshots Golf not (though I know this is going by GS review scores). Tiger has much longer load times, its more true to the game of golf yes, but Hotshots is a lot more entertaining. The ''arcadeness'' I think is the reason why Hotshots didn't score as well by the gamespot reviewer. Hotshots actually has a higher user review score then Tiger Woods, plus more people rated it so, again I think it deserves to be mentioned at least.
[QUOTE=''elvisiscool''][QUOTE=''Shleco'']What about the European titles?
Gamespot don't review import titles but with the launch of the PSP in Europe a whole number of new games have appeared, some of which aren't out in America until February next year. Compiled here are some links to reviews on other sites of games that were released on 1st September and for our American and Canadian readers we've given you the latest scheduled release dates as well. Cool, eh?
