5Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an iconic stealth-action game developed by Hideo Kojima. It tells the story of the iconic protagonist, Snake, who is forming a mercenary army in 70s Costa Rica. It has one of the best strategic gameplays in the Metal Gear series.
Returning to the series’ roots of espionage and intense storytelling, Peace Walker presents a series of improvements on the classic formula while incorporating multiplayer missions and refined game mechanics that closely mimic console standards, at least on the PSP.
4Lumines
Developed by Q Entertainment, Lumines is a popular puzzle video game released in the year 2004. Featuring a dual control system of addictive blocks that fall in a rather Tetris-like manner accompanied by a dynamic music style, Lumines can be best described as an effort to match similar colored blocks and clear them off the screen.
Turning now to the game proper, the combination of elements related to rhythm and strategy results in an appealing and involving gameplay experience, and the gradually changing graphics and music definitely add to it.
3Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable
A refined version of the popular RPG developed by Atlus, Shin Megami Tensei uses a turn-based combat system with social simulation, which means that players are required to balance everyday life with adventures into the dungeon.
Most notably, this version added a female hero which changed the storylines and interactions. Due to the new additions and perfected gameplay mechanics, it has become one of the most popular and distinctive titles of the series. It features a rich and provocative storyline, memorable characters, and, of course, a gripping gameplay experience.
2Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown War
Released in 2009, GTA: Chinatown War is developed by Rockstar Leeds and North. The game is played from an isometric 3D perspective with a rotatable aerial camera. However, this different point of view from the modern GTA games does not take the fun and thrill out of the Chinatown Wars.
In this game, players take control of Huang Lee, who travels to the famous Liberty City to exact revenge and uncover corruption. The game offers a rich, portable Grand Theft Auto experience with its distinct visual aesthetic, captivating minigames, and vast open-world adventure.
1God of War: Chains of Olympus
God of War: Chain of Olympus is the best PSP game according to Metacritic. It is a well-renowned action-adventure game developed by Ready at Dawn and released for the PSP in 2008.
Set in Greek mythology, this fourth title of the popular series follows the iconic protagonist, Kratos of Sparta, as he is guided by the goddess Athena in order to find the Sun God Helios, as the Dream God Morpheus has caused many gods to slumber in the absence of Helios.
