My wife just surprised me with a new PSP battery after listening to me moan about not having one ever since reading PerfectDark’s most recent PSP article. After messing around with broken USB cables and jumping through hoops to un-spoof my old prome-2 firmware version for too long last night, I finally got ARK4 running and had a blast playing Wipeout Pure.
My favourite PSP game back in the day was probably Monster Hunter Freedom Unite… so many late nights spent playing that with friends in my freezing flat. There was something special about LAN parties with handheld games. I remember putting serious hours into Peace Walker and Dissidia too.
Now I want some game recommendations… tell me which games you loved on the PSP! I might even have a look around for some UMDs!
Silent Hill Origins and Shattered Memories
I recall being disappointed with Shattered Memories when it came out because it was different to the usual Silent Hill formula… though I can’t remember what the gameplay was like now. The psychological test gimmick was a really cool idea though!
I’d say if you go into it expecting an SH1 remake you will be disappointed. If you just want a cool and somewhat relaxing psychological horror game than it won’t disappoint. It’s a very unique game.
