Pangya Fantasy Golf.
As for RPGs the big names are Dissidia 012, Persona 3, FF Tactics: War of the Lions, Tales of the World Radiant Mythology 3, Valkyria Chronicles 2. Cardinal Arc looks like the sort of thing you might like. There are several Star Oceans but I can't speak to their quality.
Grand Theft Auto
I need to get a PSP just because I want to play my Gradius collection (have it sitting on the shelf for several months).
Gradius Gaiden ftw!
Well I have no interest in FFT, as I'm sure Square bastardized the the remake(besides I have the original anyway), but the others I'll look into, thanks.Quote:

Gradius collection has arcade ports of Gradius 1-4 and Gradius Gaiden from PSX.
Pretty nice collection if ya ask me.
The two God of War titles are also fine games
Wow that is a pretty good collection indeed.Quote:

Is the MM game simular to the original MM series in design/gameplay or what?Quote:

Mega Man Powered Up is a remake of the first Mega Man game with 3D graphics, it also has two more robot masters. It plays, sounds, and looks amazing, I highly recommend it.Quote:

Patapon is a music rhythm style game, you go around with your army and in order to make a move, you hit a certain combination buttons,it's really addicting and fun, possible the best game on the system! I haven't played the sequels though.
Ah ok.Quote:

Get Phantasy Star Portable, Phantasy Star Portable 2, and import Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. I'm really tempted to buy a PSP just for those 3 titles myself.
What is this Ultimate Ghost n Goblins you speak of??Quote:

Try R-Type Tactics and R-Type Command.
And FFT is better than the PSX version by a goddamn mile.
R-Type Tactics? Is it actually a tactics game or is it just a bad title(It's hard to imagine turning a space shooter, into a tactics game)?Quote:

Ehh, that's arguable. I appreciate what they were trying to do with the new translation, but they kind of got carried away with how "flowery" it was. Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy XII were leagues better in that regard. The cutscenes, however, were very well done, as was the voice acting.Quote:

The main thing I didn't like was the addition of a couple new storyline scenes; to me, they really felt shoe-horned in, and they stuck out like sore thumbs, particularly the one where Algus is brought back as a zombie for some reason. Depending on how much of a purist you are, those might not be as much of a big deal.
Finally, the multi-player is admittedly awesome if you've got a friend to play it with (there are a bunch of co-op missions, and you can do vs. as well), but I don't know if Zoltor would have access to those options.
So yeah, if you have the PSX version and you've played it to death, there isn't necessarily any reason to pick it up unless you really want a copy you can play on the go, or you've got a friend to play with.
Lol there's loading delays/lag in a "turn based" tactic game, never thought that would be a problem(although I probally shouldn't be too surprised). Omg that would so drive me nuts, after each action too? Yikes.Quote:

Seriously, get Phantasy Star Portable, Phantasy Star Portable 2, and import Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity.
Yes, a lot of PSP games are pretty darn cheap right now. If you're willing to dig through local Gamestops you can find some really good deals, plus this week there is a Buy 2 get 1 Free at Gamestop on all PSP and DS games that I just learned about yesterday. If you saw my recent posting in the haul thread I just got Pangya for about $3, but it all depends on your local selection.Quote:

I'm probally gonna go to Best Buy(they have a big gaming section).Quote:

To TrekkiesUnite118: I take it, you're a huge Phantasy Star fan lol
Not just that, they're good games. They are probably the best online RPGs on the PSP.
Oh the PSP games are actually real MMOs, then I'll probally pass, I Jump between too many MMOs as is, but thanks anyway.Quote:

Being high lv comes with so many responsabilities sigh, but you have to do, what you have to do).
Phantasy Star Portable is Single Player with local Wifi Multiplayer. Phantasy Star Portable 2 and Portable 2 Infinity have single player story modes with full online multiplayer that's free to play.
Oh ok, so part 1 is basically like Ragnaroke Online for the DS, and the others are like Diable 2(single/multiplayer wise)?Quote:

Yea I guess, it sure wont break the bank, that's for sure lol.
I recommend Half-Minute Hero. It's made to look like an old-school RPG but it's more like an RPG-themed action/puzzle game.
Half Minute Hero is awesome.
Hm sounds interesting, I'll have to look into that, thanks.Quote:

Yea, I looked that up last night(most of NIS's PSP titles seemed to be subpar, well aside from the earliest titles anyway, that seems like one of the better games they localized for the PSP), but thanks anyway.Quote:

Too bad the first two PSP GTA games are just watered down, humour-less versions of GTA3 and Vice City. Heard Chinatown Wars is good, but I've not played it, so I can't comment on it.Quote:
