"I will be the first DUI on a segway" Group: Premium member Posts: 5628 Joined: August 20, 2005	How much are they and is getting the 170$ slick silver bullshit worth it? I also don't know much about the games other than I know I want to get Final Fantasy Tactics, FF Crisis core, and probably the star wars battlefront game. So some help with info on the games that I can get with it and if its worth the money. Also is that Medievil game any good that came out for it? __________________ DEUCE: MEETING THE URINE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL AND REALIZING IT'S JUST LIKE ME AND MY PREJUDICES THIS WHOLE TIME WERE COMPLETELY FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF PTTTTHTHTHH GOD IT'S EVERYWHERE<br />DEUCE: FUCK THIS TASTES LIKE PISS<br />PANTS: WHERE IT SHOULD TASTE LIKE COTTON CANDY OR PICKLES<br />DEUCE: OR AT LEAST LIKE URINE NOT PISS

I could say it might be a better choice than DS if you're looking for a portable console. You could get almost any game on the psp, the only thing that wil limit you is your memory card size. From the internet you know there are stuff.. Also, it has popular titles there and I know there's also a huge amount of RPGs that were made for it. __________________

DO NOT NEVER KICK A HORSE IN THE THROAT Group: Premium member Posts: 334 Joined:	Man I love my PSP but I don't really use it unless I am travelling. There is something fantastic about being able to pull out your PSP and just watch a couple of movies on the 6 hour train ride to paris or whatever. Or on a plane, or anywhere you are. At home I don't really use it at all though. __________________ in this text i am drinking ~~anti-freeze~~all the secrets of the universe

sarah scooby doo gizmo Group: Premium member Posts: 7393 Joined: June 04, 2003	i bought a fucking ds a couple of years ago. i have used it to play one single game, hotel dusk, and that's it. the ds fucking stinks. i mean, i have bought six games for it but all of the rest are godawful. i wish i bought a psp back then cos i might actually use it every now and then but i'm not spending money on a psp now, unless i can sell the ds for the same price i could find a psp at. seriously i feel like such an idiot for buying that.

Read a tutorial on creating a pandora battery to downgrade your PSP that way you can play homebrew, play ripped games on your memory card, and play PSX games. There's also a new battery available (the thing is HUUUUGE though and I forgot the name) that literally gives the PSP 40 hours of battery time. It's pretty beefy and weighs like 2 pounds but 40 hours is ridiculous. __________________

Fighting yourself! Group: Member Posts: 21 Joined: February 13, 2008	I traded my DS for a PSP and am I ever glad I did! I bought the silver one. It was 200$ but I got it for 100$ thanks to the place I got it: I traded my DS and games for store credit and got it for cheaper. It even came with a game, a movie and a memory card (a cheap one though). I got Crisis Core right away and honestly it's a good game. As for recommendations... well I don't know and I don't really care right now 'cause I'm too busy playing FF:CC. __________________ Muse - Dead Star Muse: BEST alternative-electronic BAND ever, not any less.

Throw that pumpkin at the tree. Group: Member Posts: 234 Joined: April 18, 2008	I'm pretty disappointed with my PSP. Maybe that's because I have a laptop now, and I use that instead, but I don't think there are that many good games for the PSP. Crisis Core is good, and so is Monster Hunter (I don't remember how many hours I've spent on that game), but I'd like to know why all the old Final Fantasy ports/remakes are going to the DS instead of the PSP. EDIT: oh, by the way, Medievil is the port of the PS1 game. It's fairly decent. __________________ Upon arriving the attending doctor could find no abnormal physical symptoms other than extremely dilated pupils.

"I will be the first DUI on a segway" Group: Premium member Posts: 5628 Joined: August 20, 2005	I bought one yesterday and got a 2gb card because I couldn't find any bigger ones there. Is that Homebrew shit just psx emulators or are they ripping psp games and playing them? I tried looking through the homebrew topic but it was fucking huge. Ended up getting the God of War deal because the factory renewed psps costed like 150$ and I was gonna get God of war anyways __________________ DEUCE: MEETING THE URINE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL AND REALIZING IT'S JUST LIKE ME AND MY PREJUDICES THIS WHOLE TIME WERE COMPLETELY FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF PTTTTHTHTHH GOD IT'S EVERYWHERE<br />DEUCE: FUCK THIS TASTES LIKE PISS<br />PANTS: WHERE IT SHOULD TASTE LIKE COTTON CANDY OR PICKLES<br />DEUCE: OR AT LEAST LIKE URINE NOT PISS

spidoman spidoman itchi hatchi no desu mas Group: Premium member Posts: 3238 Joined: May 29, 2003	I really enjoyed the Armored Core game, the Metal Gear ACID series, and Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops. Medievil was good, Death Jr. was awesome, and both Grand Theft Autos lived fully up to their PS2 mother with the sick addition of motorcycles in Liberty City Stories. Really amped up the gameplay there! Plus, if you've got a PS3 you can dl PSone games and put them on your PSP memory stick! I'm currently playing Wild Arms 1. Both the Worms games were pretty good, though I dislike the damned 3D backgrounds. That killed the games for me, honestly. (Sloooowdown) Games I anticipate, and you might too: God of War : Chains of Olympus, Beats, Patapon, the upcoming Kingdom Hearts game, --that's all I can think of atm. I know there's a few more I'm looking forward to (though apparently not THAT much). __________________ Team-Captin Portfolio Bubblegum Wishes Deviantart PSN=Dudesoft

Is that Homebrew shit just psx emulators or are they ripping psp games and playing them? I tried looking through the homebrew topic but it was fucking huge. Homebrew is a catch all for programs, original games (or ports of older games like Cave Story), emulators, and the like. There's no PSX "emulator" because the PSP emulates the games itself. You just need to hack the firmware to bypass the security measures. Ironically enough, it's all legal according to Sony's End User's Agreement but they crack down on it because of the rampant pirates. __________________

*stares* Group: Premium member Posts: 6786 Joined: November 30, 2004	I find it strange that I never use my PSP for actually playing PSP games, I play Mario World with a Snes Emulator or Rollcage PSX, my main beefs with it are that I can't get Brave Fencer Musashi or Kirby Superstar (favourite games) to run on it but it doesn't stop me from enjoying it any less. I usually just play it between breaks at work or on the train but that's about it, it's worth getting for what it can do but I just find myself hardly playing it at all. __________________ Now that the flickering got your attention, I'm trying to make a game archive for you to HOST and DOWNLOAD games, please click HERE for more information.

Crisis Core - Repetitive but still worth it in the end. Wipeout games - These are just some great racing games. Tales of Eternia - If your into this series. Brave Story A New Traveler - It's an alright game. Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops - Heard it's good. Syphon Filter games - A lot better then I expected. Daxter - I love the Jak series and this is no disappointment. Tekken Dark Resurrection - Just a great fighting game. Burnout Legends - A fun game. Killzone Liberation - It's alright.. Short though. Not many upcoming games but some to look out for would be.. Resistance Retribution, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Parasite Eve The Third Birthday. __________________
