About
Sony’s first foray into handheld gaming, the PSP is an amazing piece of hardware. Essentially on par with the PS2, and using a proprietary UMD disk-based media in place of carts, this console plays gorgeous 3D games on a beautiful, bright LCD display. It has met with only limited success due to it’s initial hefty cost, lackluster software support, and the fact than many of the games, while astounding graphically, are really just adapted PS2 titles, and not really suited to bite size, on-the-go gaming. Four iterations of this console have appeared, the latest being the PSP Go, which inexplicably removed the UMD drive (in favor of a download only business model), alienating pretty much every PSP owner, and selling very poorly. That said, if you want depth in your handheld games, there are some truly amazing, deep, and console sized games to be had. No other handheld even comes close, in fact. There are many excellent games for this console if you look, and it is well worth playing. Games like Disgaea, Monster Hunter Unite, and Phantasy Star alone will keep you busy for years.
