THE 31 BEST PSP GAMES (2009 Edition): With over 10 new must-play Sony PSP games!
It's only been alive for just over four years now and already Sony's PlayStation Portable has accumulated a gargantuan library of games, with must-play titles that span every genre from action that matches the quality found in console games (God of War: Chains of Olympus) to games that would seem impossible on the PSP like music games (Rock Band: Unplugged). Join GamePro as we count down over thirty games no PSP owner should pass up in this all-new 2009 edition of the greatest PSP games ever created.

31. Beats
Beats
Yeah, we've got the Beats and it's easy to understand why: slick, yet simple graphics combined with basic button-pressing rhythmic gameplay. Tack on a low, low price and there's no reason you shouldn't groove to the Beats too.
30. Tokobot
Tokobot
Prehistoric robots take platforming to a new age in Tokobot--a short, but sweet romp through ancient ruins that test your jumping abilities and skill in commanding a legion of loyal mechanical pals. Only its short, linear single player story keeps Tokobot from being more than a diamond in the rough.
29. Twisted Metal: Head On
Twisted Metal: Head On
The only game on our list that lets you barrel through the Eiffel Tower as a psychotic clown behind the wheel of an ice cream truck, Twisted Metal has as much morbid appeal as hard-hitting vehicular action. As long as you put in the time to learn the controls, you're sure to smile barreling through the wreckage of fellow players online.
28. Killzone: Liberation
Killzone: Liberation
This handheld sequel unshackles the PlayStation 2 first-person shooter series for top-down play. The perspective takes some getting used to but thankfully all of the in-your-face action remains intact, letting you beat back creepy Helghan invaders on the war-torn surface of Vekta.
27. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
Pair a previously unreleased installment with a lauded classic and you get a UMD with a silver lining. Series favorite Symphony of the Night comes as a bonus for completing the tough-as-nails Dracula X game, which boasts a beautiful 2.5D graphical update. Two great games in one package that won't drive a stake through your wallet.
26. Silent Hill Origins
Silent Hill Origins
What Silent Hill Origins lacks in originality, it certainly makes up for in scares. Nothing comes close to this disturbing handheld thriller. As a prequel to the console games, Origins sets a macabre stage for the series with its gritty graphics, horrific scenes, and psychologically taxing gameplay. Without a doubt, the only game on our list that'll having you screaming like a little girl . . . asking for more.
25. WipEout Pulse
WipEout Pulse
The king of futuristic racers goes online in the second portable installment of the WipEout series. While it hasn't made as much of a splash as WipEout Pure, Pulse packs in more options, better graphics, and added online gameplay that puts it ahead of the pack. Vehicle customization and the ability to take snapshots during memorable races give the game a unique twist. Infused with a fantastic electronic soundtrack and slick visuals, it's clear that there's more than just good racing flowing through Pulse's veins.

I own every game on this list except Tokobot, Silphon Filter, and Castlevania. This is a very solid list, but I think that Star Wars Battle front Renegade belongs on the list with 16 player online that actually works. A side note to "franthewaffleman", if you have never played Loco Roco, you need to. It only got a 3.00 because its short and the graphics aren't exactly wonderful, but it is the most fun you can have on PSP in 5 minutes. Just pick it up, play a level and put it down, its like a giant mini game. Try it and you will understand. But I do agree with Chains of Olympus being on top, it seems like a PS2 game on PSP. However, I think that Crisis Core deserves a few slots higher as the game was simply amazing, and a HUGE rpg for PSP.
