Grand Theft auto Liberty city stories (must have)

Metal Gear solid Portable Ops (the other ones suck)

Coded arms (really good if you like FPS)

Power Stone Collection (good if you've played power stone, loading times are very anoying but pass that, plays great)

Burnout Legends (if you like the burnout series, if not, it will make you a fan), i don't like dominator that much but it's good also

Well the top 5 will vary from person to person due to personal preference but my top 5 would have to be

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection

Monster Hunter Freedom

Either Daxter or Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters

And Kingdom of Paradise warrants a mention for my sixth spot. Why is there a sixth spot for a top 5 list? Well you already said you were going to get Tekken so I thought you might want a top 5 list that didn't count Tekken.

while Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is a GREAT game, Vice Stories is still MUCH better, and is the #1 game on the PSP.... IMHO, why get a racing game when you can race in GTA? why get a shooter game, when you can shoot in GTA and SOOO much more?

it all depends on the types of games you like. the other suggestions are all pretty good, but daxter is really really short and has no replay value so you might just want to rent it instead.... try rachet and clank instead, i heard it has a lot of unlockables and its a lot more lengthy. besided that some other good games are killzone liberation (for online), prince of persia: rival swords, and metal gear solid portable ops

For variety and some games that'll get you through the summer I would go with Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops, Killzone Liberation, Field Commander, Grand Theft Auto : Vice City Stories, and Ratchet and Clank : Size Matters. Tekken is really great, don't get me wrong, but if you're on the go and have to pack light they will fare better keeping you entertained. I don't really play my PSP at home so I have to carry an extra battery and along with a Playgear Pocket and something to carry UMDs, etc in I don't want to carry more than 5 or 6 games on me, if that.

1) God of War: Chains of Olympus- I don't care that this game hasn't come out yet. I will buy this game as soon as it comes out. I will buy one less PS3 game this Fall so I can play this game. Who wouldn't want to have God of War "To-Go"? There is no doubt in my mind that this game will live up to the high standards its PS2 brothers have. A MUST OWN!

2) Tekken: Dark Ressurection- Smart choice my friend...smart choice. See my review of this game if you want to know what I think of it. Playing this game on your PSP makes you feel like you're walking around with an arcade machine in your pocket. If you have a friend with a PSP, you guys can play ad-hoc with each other. You only need one copy of the game. If that doesn't impress you, nothing will.

3) Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror- Handheld games should not look this good...I mean seriously. They're not supposed to look this good. This game plays VERY WELL and has a level of polish on it that few games, on any platform, can match. The controls are surprisingly responsive, deep, and easy to learn. It really is as good as advertised. One of the best PSP games available.

4) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII- I will always fondly remember playing and enjoying Final Fantasy VII as a kid. After a bunch of really crappy spin offs to the series, such as Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus, Square Enix has decided to actually make an RPG telling the story of Zack. Cameos will be made by Cloud, Sephiroth, and Aeris. I am looking forward to this game's release.

5) Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops- I'm putting this game here simply because of the hype. I have NOT played this game yet. Why? Because I chose to spend my money on a PS3 instead...I chose to buy Syphon Filter instead. Yes, the game (Syphon Filter) is THAT good. And yes, I am a Metal Gear fan. When the price drops, I'll buy it. So should you.

Honorable Mention: Daxter, Burnout Legends, Ratchet and Clank, Lumines, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, Crush.

Note:

I am well aware that I did not add Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories on this list. You can buy these games for your PS2. They are not as good as GTA III, Vice City, or San Andreas. I see no reason to waste your time or money on them unless you MUST play a portable version of GTA.

Everything I listed above is a PSP exclusive. I think Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is currently being ported to PS2 though...

The 5 best game IMO are:

Syphon Filter:  Dark Mirror-  Honestly, I never believed that a game with graphics like this would be possible on the PSP, much less executed extremely well in the gameplay department.  Really, this is the best stealth/action game on the PSP, and what's more is that it's only rivals are basically some of the best console games in the same genre (MGS3 & Splinter Cell).  So if you're a fan of this genre (or just a fan of action, as it has a LOT of that) buy this game.  You won't be dissapointed.  Oh, and did I mention it has multi-player?  Although it must be said that there are a lot of cheaters online.

Lumines II- Even if you don't like puzzle games, you need to buy this game.  Before I got this game, I absolutely despised puzzle games, and I had tried quite a few (Tetris, Columns, etc.) but this one is the game that opened my eyes.  Really, this game is so addictive that if the government found out about it it would likely be ****fied as a drug.

Ratchet and Clank:  Size Matters-  as you can tell by my username, I'm a die-hard Ratchet & Clank fan, and this game makes my day.  The gameplay is as fine-tuned as it's console predecessors (which is saying lot) the graphics are ****ing amazing and the online play is actually pretty good.  While I wish that they had included 24-player online instead of only 4 (yeah, this is where it kind of sucks) it's still pretty fun to play.  Get this game if you are a fan of the series or even if you are knew to it, as the story isn't as big of a factor as it was in previous games, so you don't have to have past experience with it (although it helps).

Killzone:  Liberation-  Do NOT skip this game because of its predecessor; this game blows the **** out of Killzone and is one of the best PSP games available, especially now that it has the best online on the system next to MoH and SOCOM.  However, what really makes this game awesome is the kickass gameplay.  This is some of the best shooting I've experienced on any system, although it has a learning curve.  That doesn't really matter though as this game is fun as hell.  If you like games in this genre get it.  (And by the way, this isn't a FPS; it's a looking-down-from-the-sky camera system)

WipEout Pure-  This game was a launch game and it still kicks the crap out of the newer racing games save Burnout Legends & MIdnight Club.  Ridge Racer can go **** itself, although it does look pretty.  WipEout PurE, however, manages to look good and play well.  Although there are only 8 tracks, there are 12 more available for download (hence the "download" option in the main menu of the game) which infinitely increases this game's replay value.  This game is definitely worth the purchase, and now that it's 20 dollars there's no excuse not to get it.

Some other honorable mentions are:

MGS:  PO
Tekken DR
Crush
GTA:  LCS & VCS
Burnout Legends
Midnight Club 3:  DUB Edition
Daxter
Loco Roco
Twisted Metal:  Head On



And by the way, Syphon Filter, Lumines II, WipEout PurE, Burnout Legends, MIdnight Club 3:  Dub Edition, Daxter, Loco Roco and Twisted Metal:  Head On are all $20 now.  So they're definitely worth picking up.  Oh, and Syphon Filter & WipEout PurE are both getting sequels that are releasing this summer, so if you liked or loved those games be sure to check them out.
