Top 10 PSP Games

Top 10 PSP Games

The PSP represented PlayStation’s first major foray into the world of handhelds. As the most powerful handheld at the time, it introduced a number of memorable games based on existing PlayStation franchises, some impressive third-party support, and a format that has stood the test of time and been a hallmark of technology since, the UMD.

OK, no, UMD’s may not still be, or ever were, quite the industry standard, but the PSP still delivered on a number of incredible games throughout its life. Looking back on that little console, we decided to cull together a list of the ten best PSP games of all time, prioritizing games that took advantage of the hardware and represent the ingenuity of developers to bring some amazing franchises to handheld life. So, without further ado, here are our top 10 PSP games of all time.

    LocoRoco and Patapon 2 were the shit! Also Battlefront, Hot Shots Golf, and Force Unleashed were a lot of fun!

    Good list for me, since I’ve bought a used PSP last year with some used games. Already have some of this list’s games. I also recommend Final Fantasy Dissidia.

    Love you IGN. Instead of wasting 20 minutes in recording 10 new minutes of footage, you wasted 30 minutes searching, downloading and editing your old-ass videos. That’s the way.

  7. D. H on March 31, 2022 at 6:13 pm

    Sad. Remember people, you can easily emulate the PSP on your phone, download PPSSPP and have fun 👍😁

    I picked up a ps vita 1000 without charger for $50 over the weekend and finally got it setup yesterday. I can’t wait to play some of these at 2x.

  25. DaRkLoRd1061 on March 31, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    No ratchet and clank? Lmaooo



  31. M B on March 31, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Im sorry to say but there were other better games on the PSP. To be honest my all time favourite games were Breath Of Fire 3 and 4. I could play them over and over



  32. DaRkLoRd1061 on March 31, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Shout outs to the project diva games, patapon, locoroco, and the 3rd birthday (while a dispointing parasite eve game, it was still a pretty good portable action shooter) and the psp had the best version of ff1,2 and 4 and also persona 1 and 2.



  33. Damian365 on March 31, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Tekken 6 are my favorite.



  34. Kushhh on March 31, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    Just got one the other day now I’m seeing it everywhere



  35. Tatlo Dos on March 31, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    Gurumin for me is one of the top games on PSP.



  36. William Torres on March 31, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    The 3rd birthday and final fantasy dissidia duodecim are amazing psp games



  37. Kiijuan Jenkins on March 31, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    How could y’all not put Kingdom of Paradise! 🥴



  38. Jylstin on March 31, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    I actually hate my life, I own a psp but I’ve never played a single game on this list XD. My psp is still working tremendously and I’d definitely want to play persona 3 port, FF Crisis core and God of war ghost of Sparta if I ever find it. I have kingdom hearts but never finished it, I played my psp almost everyday in the past and I feel so bad to have not played them………



  39. thefinalme on March 31, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    Strangely enough, I only owned 10 PSP games.



  40. Logan McCoy on March 31, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    Tenchu Wrath of Heaven Japanese version is my favorite



  41. King4Loli on March 31, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    PSP games still alive because of PPSSPP emulator. And some fan are translating Japan games.



  42. Marcus Cheong on March 31, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    Wish Sony would make a new PlayStation Portable. Actually feels like the full console experience on the go.



  43. Blake Allen on March 31, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    Distractingly stilted VO work here



  44. Zac Camagna on March 31, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    Once again, *nobody* is talking about Trails in the Sky



  45. Karl Trink on March 31, 2022 at 7:02 pm

    lol, I got Hitch lying around



  46. Aldous on March 31, 2022 at 7:02 pm

    Patapon 2 not here?! Why?!!!



  47. Crimson Crusader on March 31, 2022 at 7:02 pm

    If there’s 2 games that deserve to be on the list, those need to be mega man powered up a remake and remaster of mega man 1, and mega man maverick hunter X, the remake of mega man X 1.



  48. lafasi43 on March 31, 2022 at 7:04 pm

    I hope sony starts porting some new games like soulborn witcher dmc re ect games to psvita



  49. martin campos on March 31, 2022 at 7:04 pm

    Ghost is Sparta will always be my favourite



  50. Adam Trombley on March 31, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron was the best game I played on PSP, until the UMD broke. That game allowed ground, air and space combat all in the same match, and the story mode was pretty solid, it had the same vibe as force unleashed. A blend of that game and the OG battlefront 2 is what I wanted from the new battlefront games.
