Agh, I want all of those lovely Square games! Can't justify them at the moment though :(

PSP releases are definitely going for quality over quantity now.


yer, suddenly seems to be a nice stream of worthwhile titles.

Anyone played God Eater Burst? Can't find it cheap enough to justify buying yet.

All shops are listing it as a UMD release. It has just been released on PSN early.

Thinking about getting a PSP 3000 to go alongside my modded PSP. I have downloaded a couple of patched games that don't work on my CFW, but I don't really like doing that. Mainly cos I like having the box and artwork.

I do like the look of Parasite Eve 3, though have read a couple of average reviews. Shame as I was looking forward to it.

I did just that, Bought a 3000 of Shinobi (Scholar and a gent), spent days glued to MGS:Peacewalker.If you can find 1 cheap enough, jobs a good'un

3rd Birthday pulled in a 7/10 from sixth axis and another 7/10 from OPM.Seems solid, just not ground breaking.

That's a GAME exclusive, isn't it? Its £19.99 at GAME/Gamestation & £17.99 at Gameplay. Think I might just go ahead & buy it now, as I'm not sure as to how many copies of new PSP games are hitting the shops nowadays.

Not sure saw it second hand in Game today and it was £29.99. Then again they might have bought it new from Gamestation :D

I picked up Dissidia 012 recently and it's great fun, handy to have a copy of the original (which I also own) in there too!

Will pick up third birthday when its a tad cheaper and have FF4 the complete collection (ff4, ff4 the after years and a new title set between the two lasting roughly longer then one chapter of the after years) on pre-order ready :D

I think I own a large portion of the SE games on the PSP ¬_¬

Well I have both the PS2 and PSP versions of Mana Khemia but I've only played the PS2 version. I really enjoyed it and spent hours and hours completing all the alchemy recipes and so on. The music was cool and there was some great humour but the visuals look a bit cheap. Basically, it's made by the same people who did Atelier Iris so if you're familiar with the visual style in those games then you should know what to expect.

As far as I know, the PSP version is an identical game with a few tiny extra bits but also plagued by chronic slowdown and loading. I think there's an install option (looking at the back of the box for you) but I have no idea how effective it is.

Haven't had much time to meself lately, but really getting into Busou Shinki now. Looking forward to picking up the sequel. And I want Criminal Girls eventually - a supremely silly sounding game.

Really happy with the PSP, it's changed my opinion of modern handheld gaming completely. I'm hoping that as the push for PSP2 gaming picks up, there'll be some tasty price reductions to come. :)

Get it! One of my favorite games of all time. Also get Ys I & II Chronicles and Ys Seven.

Lots of good PSP games coming out recently, got my PSP a year ago and didn't buy any games for it for ages, but it suddenly started getting a load of new games.

Anyone know if The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is good, looks interesting but I'm not too sure about it.

Yeah I have all three, though only play Ys Seven so far. Apparently Oath is the best to get started with the series (if you haven't played the series already). Ys Seven is the best package though (in terms of free items ie; cloth map, soundtrack and art book). I highly recommend getting them all.
