 | Final Fantasy X
Buy new: $20.48 / Used from: $9.22 The first Final Fantasy on the PS2, the first Final Fantasy with voice acting, with a revamped battle system, complex story, and great music.
|
 | Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $17.99 A "true" Metal Gear Solid game on the PSP. What more needs to be said?
|
 | Onimusha 3: Demon Siege
Buy new: $20.23 / Used from: $4.19 The last in the trilogy. I recommend getting all three. Resident Evil style gameplay set in Feudal Japan, and Paris in the third one.
|
 | Okami
Buy new: $23.97 / Used from: $22.00 One of the most original and beautiful graphic styles I have ever seen. The gameplay is different, and the story is quite good.
|
 | PsychoNauts
Buy used from: $12.99 One of the most creative games ever. One of the funniest too. Good platforming gameplay with pretty deep characters.
|
 | Lumines
Buy new: $42.99 / Used from: $14.63 While not the "killer app" Tetris was, this is still a very good music based puzzle game, which was one of the first must-have games for the PSP.
|
 | Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $6.87 It's impact on gaming is huge. Its free roaming, do whatever you want gameplay was amazing at the time, and still is.
|
 | Daxter
Buy new: $21.23 / Used from: $4.75 First platformer to get it right on the PSP.
|
 | Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner
Buy used from: $21.32 I loved the first one, but it was way too short, and the ending left much to be desired. This is mech fighting at its finest. These mechs are not the immobile snails you might be used to, these mechs move fluidly and control with ease. This game has a great story, and great gameplay. Check it out.
|
 | Guitar Hero 2 Bundle with Guitar
Buy used from: $53.98 You can finally live your dreams of rocking out on stage. This, and other games, shows that gameplay can be radically changed from anything you've seen before with a peripheral.
|
 | Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Bundle
Buy new: $64.98 / Used from: $36.99 Another music/rhythm game that is very different than anything else you can play. This can be quite a workout, but is wickedly addicting. Just be careful when trying to do crazy dance moves.
|
 | Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $10.63 Grand Theft Auto to go with wireless multiplayer. Not just a port either, although this game was ported TO the PS2. That alone should tell you that this game isn't a stripped down GTA.
|
 | Burnout 3 Takedown
Buy used from: $8.00 Burnout is a different racing game than you're used to. It puts a big emphasis on big crashes, and is a blast to play. There is even a game mode where the sole purpose it to create to biggest crash and car pileup you can.
|
 | Wipeout Pure
Buy new: $12.79 / Used from: $6.98 Racing for the PSP. A classic, and the best game the PSP had for a while. Still one of the best racers for the system.
|
 | Tomb Raider Anniversary
Buy new: $30.59 / Used from: $12.82 A great remake of the first Tomb Raider. It was revolutionary for it's time, its feeling of isolation, its breathtaking 3-D world, and clever puzzles, are just a couple of reasons to pick this up. Also be sure to pick up Tomb Raider Legend for the PS2 as well. Those along with Tomb Raider II are the standouts in the series.
|
 | Odin Sphere
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $14.45 This game is breathtaking in so many ways. It's a 2-D action RPG that has some of the most beautiful graphics on the PS2. The animations, and the handcrafted detail are awe-inspiring. The story is wonderful, and the game switches between multiple characters to keep things fresh. They don't make many like this anymore.
