How to save a dead console (PSP edition)

Do you know about that black portable thing with Sony written on it? Did you know it’s actually a portable console? Stunning isn’t it!

Jokes aside, the PSP is fading away. A series of unfortunate events and facts have sent the poor 16:9 sized soon-to-be-phone-thanks-to-voip portable thingamabob towards a slow and painful death. Lack of quality games, cost, pirates and it’s own stubborn merchandising system all contributed in the assassination of what could have actually been a very fine competitor of the now King of Consoles (aka Nintendo DS).

“What to do?” says the depressed PSP owner. Stay calm, nothing is lost just yet! Criticism aside, there are some titles that deserve your time! Here are just a few!

-Patapon
-Tekken Dark Resurrection
-Test Drive Unlimited
-Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
-Jak and Daxter

All I can say is, don’t give up and keep searching! There’s plenty of hidden gems out there!
