What are your guys’ favorite PSP games and why? We’ve all seen the Top 10 lists and those games are amazing, but are there any gems that specifically called out to you that didn’t get much coverage? How did they make you feel and did you have any fond memories of playing the PSP when you were younger?
I dug out my old soft modded PSP GO (not pictured) from a drawer at my parent’s house and immediately went on a definitely legal buying and installing spree and think I have a pretty good library of games, but wanted to kind of compare notes.
I enjoyed games like SOCOM and Monster Hunter, but my favorite memories came from the homebrew scene.
The PSP was the first thing I learned to “hack” as a kid. Installing dark_alex’s M33 CFW (I hope I’m remembering that correctly) was just incredibly exhilarating and exciting. It was like unlocking a whole new aspect that didn’t exist before and the whole experience was just fucking cool.
I still maintain my original PSP-1000 to this day, and fire it up once in a blue moon just to relive that nostalgia.
I did that with my PSP-Go, a mate pulled one out of his pocket and showed me it with custom firmware and that was it I went out and got one.
The formfactor of the Go was basically perfect for a portable, I only moved up into a Vita when development had hit it’s limitations but I still have a PSP Emulator on it.
Played so much SOCOM with my buddies back in the day. I miss doing those crawl through wall glitches.
