Good PSP/iPhone Games Suggestions

anthonycm · February 2010

I've got a very long (20+ hour) flight in a few days. I remembered the other day that Current Wife's boss gave his team all PSP's a couple of years back for Christmas. It had been gathering dust all this time, but now I'm thrilled we have it. However, I have no games for it. Anyone with a PSP have any suggesions?

Also, I'm sure I'll be playing on the iPhone as well, so I'll gladly take game recommendations for that. BTW, I did just finish Plants v. Zombies, and that was fairly entertaining.

So, I'm stocked up on books, music, and podcasts, but need some 100% mindless entertainment (other than booze, which I will also be utilizing) to get me through this trip.

Thanks,
-anthony

'Fling' for the iPhone is a pretty decent puzzle game and I spend too much time playing 'Bejeweled.'

Bejeweled is the best for a break from reading and podcasts.

Candy Wars for iPhone. It's Drug Wars in disguise. I have my own cartels :-)

I don't have a PSP (Nintendo DS girl here), but if I were ever to get one, Me & My Katamari would probably be one of my first purchases. I played the original Katamari game (Katamari Damacy) on the PS2 and instantly thought it was super creative and unique. It isn't a platformer so there are no lives to lose by falling off of something, the control scheme is pretty straightforward so you don't find yourself struggling to hit the right button all the time. It has elements of a puzzle game but that isn't exactly what it is, either. It is hard to explain (you pick up stuff with a giant sticky ball to please your angry, belittling father), but stress-free fun. http://psp.ign.com/articles/698/698710p1.html

Okay, just saw that Little Big Planet is out for PSP - gotta get that, too http://psp.ign.com/objects/142/14286080.html

And if you like those "pop the jewel" games like Bejeweled, I'd recommend Puzzle Quest - it takes the jewel pop game and incorporates it into an RPG, giving you more of a reason to try and win the jewel rounds (basically that is how you battle enemies; if you win you get certain stat boosts, equipment, and spells to help you in the jewel popping games). http://psp.ign.com/objects/854/854923.html

I forgot they have LBP on the PSP. I play that every now and then on the PS3, so maybe I'll pick it up for the flight. Thanks for all the suggestions.

PSP:

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
LIttle Big Planet

There are also emulators for the PSP which allow you to play everything from NES, SNES, Gameboy to Sega Genesis games.

PSP: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars; Tekken 6; it's also fairly enjoyable to watch movies on a PSP, but get decent headphones or you won't be able to hear anything on the plane.

they need to make this game for all devices (I think it's only online).
