Throughout it's lifetime the PSP has continuously been beaten out by the DS in sales (pretty bad too), though it being graphically and technologically stronger than its portable rival. But this year they're quite a few games coming out for the PSP that seem like they'll make quite an impact on the DS-by increasing sales for the PSP-, and it it has also been said that 50%-60% of the games that will be released this year haven't even been announced yet, so I'm looking forward to more epic titles to come to the PSP. Also this year has already seen the releases of great PSP games such as StarOcean: Second Evolution, Loco Roco 2, and Patapon 2, which all happen to be great games for the PSP. And this year some of the great titles that are coming to the PSP include Final Fantasy Dissidia, Crimson Gem Saga, SoulCalibur Broken Destiny, LittleBigPlanet, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Dante's Inferno, and possibly Final Fantasy XIII Agito, and KingdomHearts: Birth By Sleep, so let me take a moment to explain a few of these.

FinalFantasy Dissidia: FinalFantasy Dissidia is an 3D fighting game coming to the PSP ths year, it will feature characters from the first dozen Final Fantasy games including the likes of Cloud, Jecht, and Zidane. The games story centers around two warring deities known as Cosmos and Chaos (one being good, and the other evil), where you choose what side to fight for in the game. Also Dissidia is being included in a PSP bundle that will include the game Dissidia, the movie FinalFantasy VII: Advent Children, a PSP 3000-series, and a 2g memory stick, which sounds like an awesome deal to me especially for $200, if you don't have a PSP this bundle would be the way to get one.

SoulCalibur Broken Destiny: The legendary fighting series finally makes it's way to the PSP in Broken Destiny, and is bound to be a hit. Broken Destiny will feature 20 playable characters, along with even more character creation and multiple gameplay modes. SoulCalibur Broken Destiny is said to be released in the third quarter of 2009, and more information will definitely be provided for it later, one things for sure if you're a fan of fighting games you really should get this game, it's looking to be really great.

LittleBigPlanet: Yep, that's right, Media Molecule's original 2D platformer for the PS3 is being brought over to the PSP. It will have multiplayer and the ability to create your own levels and share them with people through the PlayStation Network just like the PS3 version.Well for those of us who didn't get to play the PS3 version of this and wanted to this really is a great release because it gives us a chance to actually play it through the PSP......but first you need a PSP. (Also the release date is TBA)

So as you can see this year is shaping up to be a great year for the PSP, and I'm looking forward to even more news about upcoming releases for the PSP in the months to come.
