[QUOTE="Shleco"] Now both our American and European forumites are able to get their hands on the wonderful PSP, you'll be wanting to get some games! Already the PSP has a large number of titles to choose from and it can be overwhelming knowing where to start, so I've compiled this guide to show off the top fifteen highest rated games by Gamespot (yep, it's been expanded as the PSP continues to get cracking titles), as well as recommending the best title in each genre. There are also links to reader reviews if you want even more information, so you've got no excuses if you pick up a duffer now!

NOTE: Where a game's sequel has outscored the original, only the sequel will feature in the list. Well, you wouldn't want the old FIFA when you can pick up the new one!

The Gamespot Top Fifteen (as of 27th November 2005)

Yep, SOCOM has a single player and you'll need a wireless internet connection to play online. That either means having a wireless router at home or going to a local hotspot to play the game.

Lol. I think Socom for PSP is from Socom 3 as you can upload stuff you've done from Socom on PSP onto PS2's Socom 3.

Except for a few games like Lumines, Ridge Racer, and Wipeout, all these games are out for ps2. Is it really worth getting it for psp when you can get it for ps2. Also, I can't play Socom(ps2) online so is it worth getting it on psp wher I can play online and the compaign mode. Is the story for both the same?

Is Kingdom of Paradise any good? Is it like Final Fantasy where you take turns when fighting or like Kingdom Hearts where you actually have real battles that level you up.

I have heard from several different people that Kingdom of Paradise is boring and repetitive. And yes, MGS will pretty much pwn.

metal gear acid is a really good game. i thought it'd be weird as its like to do with using cards and stuff, but its really good. gta:lcs is a good game too, but for me it just went too quickly. now that i finished it i dont play it at all nearly.. i might restart it though..

I hated Ridge Racer after like a week. Good thing I also got Lumines. I also just recently picked up Burnout and I like that a lot more than RR, because it's way faster, plus more vehicles.

I'm thinking the only one you're gonna get for $20 is Virtua Tennis. You can get a bunch pre-owned at EB for like $35 each.

i know it's your opinion and i respect that but hate is a strong word so this can only mean you really suck at Ridge Racer or you have no appreciation for a really strong launch title that brought the PSP to its hype.  I don't know of any game developer who can release a game in 6 months with the depth Ridge Racer went into so show some respect.

And as for Burnout Legends, its so easy and i beat it in a week. Its fun but i got bored of smashing around.  I rather play my Burnout Revenge on PS2.

PS- i have Lumines too and its probably the 2nd most game i played next to Ridge Racer.

Depth? Haha, why, because of that stupid CG intro? That was probably the best part of the game. There are like 5 truly different cars, not counting the specials, and all of the tracks have areas that look suspiciously familiar (because they exist on other tracks). It's like they had six tracks and said f**k it, let's just jigsaw the rest. All of this and I still have not mentioned that it feels like you are going five miles an hour on the tracks. I have more fun cruising around on my riding lawn mower. Yes it is my opinion, that's why I posted it, and yes I did say that I hate it, which I do. It sucks and I'm going to trade it in ASAP. Oh, and by the way, those "extras" they threw in were the worst I've seen a game in quite a while.

Which game has the best single player experience? I was thinking Metal Gear Acid, Burnout, GTA or Socom. I've never played a Metal Gear or Socom before and I enjoyed Burnout 3 and GTA 3 and Vice City. I don't have a wireless connection so going online is out of the question.

i haven't gta, but i have burnout, socom, and gta. socom has an awful 1p game, so don't get it if that's what you are looking for (mulit is amazing though). burnout has a solid single player game, but mga is probably the best if you like strategy. i persoanlly find burnout to be a better overall game, but acid has a better campaign in my opinion. i would recommend getting burnout legends and then getting metal gear acid 2 when it comes out or waiting for mga to go down in price.
