Top 10 Sony PSP Games of 2006

Top 10 Sony PSP Games (2006)

Amazon.com Top 10	Pocket Gamers Top 10
Daxter Tekken: Dark Resurrection LocoRoco Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Killzone: Liberation Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Lumines II Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories	Daxter Gitaroo Man Lives! Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy LocoRoco Lumines II Me & My Katamari Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror Tekken: Dark Resurrection Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins

Ok, so there are a few PSP games in common among the Top 10... You can definitely tell that the guys over at Pocket Gamers had more exposure to a variety of games than the folks over at Amazon.

A couple things that stand out here:

• Daxter is cleary the #1 PSP game of 2006 - If you don't already have it, then you better go get it.


• Other games making both lists: Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, LocoRoco, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy and Lumines II.


• How can two Grand Theft Auto games make it into the Top 10 PSP games of 2006 at Amazon? They're the same damn thing - pick something a little more original will ya...


• Amazon seems to heavily favor fighting games more so than Pocket Gamer does... Again, it looks like they need to open up to a bigger variety of games.


• A surprise... no Sports themed games on either list. You're telling me Madden 07, NCAA Football 07, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, NBA Live 07 and MLB 06 The Show weren't good enough to warrant a Top 10? Guess the reviewers don't like playing sports games. Madden 07 is a top seller on Amazon (currently #3 PSP game).

PSP Lumines Game Review
Tommy (Naperville, Illinois United States) - I was a little leary of getting a "puzzle" game for the PSP, but I went with the reviews and lo and behold...I've played almost nothing else on the PSP! This game is great, it's addicting, if you listen to the audio through a set of headphones, the experience is almost all-encompassing.

It's just a well made game...to me, it's like an ultra-hip version of Tetris. It's the "Thinking Man's" game for PSP. :-)

Gameplay: 5 of 5
Controls: 5 of 5
Eye Candy Value: 5 of 5
Ear Candy Value: 5 of 5
Replay Value: 5 of 5
Overall Value: 5 of 5
Chances you'll be up into the wee hours with headphones on playing: 5 of 5

I'm a happy customer, definitely the best of the 3 games I've bought so far (Ridge Racer..very good too and Wipeout...gotta love it too)
