I am not sure what game to go with. I like Twisted Metal usually, but i have heard good things about Wipeout and Lumines as well. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well, since im sure somewhere around 96% of this website, dont have PSP's, you probably shouldnt ask us.

I have already seen about 4 or 5 people (PodTopia, Phbs83) talking about it; I am sure I could get a few opinions.

WipeOut is definetely a good game. Thats the one I bought at launch.

Ridge Racers looks good as well. If you like arcade racing games, Ridge Racers will be right up your ally. If you need more of a simulation, then you will want Need For Speed Underground.

I have Ape Escape cuz I heard it was similar to Mario64, which I like. But watching the demo video, I'm not sure I'll like it, so its going back tomorrow. It could be good, I'm just not sure

Tony Hawk is a good choice if you want a skater game. I've contemplated this one because it'd be fun to just put the game in and bust tricks to pass the time.



The most common game that people buy are WipeOut, Ridge Racers, Need For Speed. The bestbuy near me ran out of Need for Speed and had only like 2 copies of Ridge Racers left. All other games were stacked like 10+ high.

Basing my decision strictly on nostalgia, I'd pick Metal Gear Acid. Not sure of the reviews or anything but I know I loved MGS when it came out for the original PS. I remember I got the soundtrack and a tshirt for free because I knew a guy who worked at Electronic Boutique. Anyone remember the sound it made when you broke a guard's neck from behind? Class.

Go with Lumines and Ridge Racers. NFSU has gotten horrible reviews.

bigboy106

who said anything about mp3's? O_o
4 hours isnt good battery life, heck i think a gameboy has better battery life,

I don't mind the short hours. I won't play mine for more than 1-2 hours at a time anyways.


The Metal Gear Acid game is suppose to be just like the GameCube/PS2/Xbox version. Not sure what DCJoeDog means by "card games".


liEDITli

My bad. It IS a card game.

what i meant was, it's playing games, not listening to mp3s, so you can't expect that much battery life. gameboy sucks? lol
