Any advice is welcome!

How do you guys like the PSP?

I LOVE the PSP. There are some incredible games for it, in all genres, both classic and modern.

The very first game I played was God Of War, it should be yours too; it's the perfect eye opener for a new PSP owner.

Besides the standard 3D action and adventure games; they have a ton of great 2D titles. They also have a couple of good compilations like the SNK Collection, the Metal Slug compilation, the Activision Atari 2600 pack...

This is my list of the definitive 40 games you should play on the PSP:

1. Ultimate Ghosts & Goblins

Man, I am hooked on the Midway Collection's version of Xybots. It isn't pixel perfect (Stretched ratio) but it controls nice with the L & R triggers and is so much fun. I haven't played it since the fantastic Lynx version and I am having a blast.

The sound effects bring back so many memories for me.

After almost a year, I blew the dust off of the old PSP and decided to fire it up. So I haven't been able to find any new games that are worth playing. Currently, I find myself playing NES, SNES and intellivision games on it. Has anything come out since God of War that's worth playing on this thing?

Aside from the occassional dungeon crawler .. not really

[alexjlopez]

I hear that Gripshift game is pretty popular...

[javierdlopez]

Yeah... but it's going for like $70 right now...

Have you tried Dungeon Maker and Dungeon Maker 2, the hidden war?

[javierdlopez]

Not yet, but I'll look into those. Thanks!

Also if you haven't tried it and love pinball like me, try
Pinball Classics The Gottlieb Collection (only released in Europe).

The camera angles can be a bit annoying at times but overall I find it a fun title.

Edit:
LocoRoco2 is due out. I haven't tried the first but I heard it was pretty good.
And according to EBGames 'PetZ Saddle Club' is due out soon as well. Oh boy!!!

Locoroco 2 is already out.

Space Invaders Extreme is an essential purchase imho.
