the PSP shortlist
larry, what the fuck is this shit?
it's unfortunate that the PSP gets as much flak as it regularly does. lots of people seem to think of it as a lesser vita and not even the vita gets enough respect - but that's another list entirely
the truth is there's a lot of cool PSP games and the purpose of this list is to put a spotlight on the console's most interesting titles. not everything here is an endorsement - i don't give two shits about psp god of war - this is more of a general resource. if i feel it has an audience, then on it goes
notes will be for recommendations and clarifications. one entry per series - i don't want to artificially clutter things. games with multiple ports will be included if the other versions are either on DS or they're significantly less accessible in general

hard vouch for half minute hero but is there a problem with its pc port to include it here
@apocynadeae i kept it for a combination of it being especially significant to the system + the windows version being different, rebalanced, new art, etc.
forgot to write a note specifying that though, which i just did
God I remember Buzz being everywhere in the late 2000s. Not sure if it ever had a ps3 entry or not.
Also since you have Mercury on here, I highly recommend you check out Archer Mcleans Pool for the Gamecube. Haven't played it yet myself but it's one of the few "hidden gem" gamecube games that is still relatively hidden.
My only gripe with the PSP is the little nub stick. I think it was last year, I bought Medal of Honor heroes, and trying to play it with that damn nub was painful.
the three original project divas should also be here, most of them are fire
gitaroo man lives its also a must on the console
Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy is a must-have. Valkyria Chronicles 2+3 also deserve a mention due to 1+4 being the only ones readily available on most platforms.
@toasterninja pool's not at the top of my interests but i'll give that a look sometime. thanks
@postwar added all of those. gitaroo man was left off on purpose as it's a ps2 game, but i didn't realize live was an expanded version with some new content
@hooblashooga thanks - i had both of those open in separate tabs and somehow forgot to add them. good eye

yeah the 30MH thing makes sense, I never played the original version but I put a lot of hours on the pc port and its multiplayer; one of those games I forget about but when reminded I can really reccomend it.
For Knights in the Nightmare id probably put a note for Gungnir since it's only got a japanese-only switch port iirc alongside Knights's, and the psp has every Dept. Heaven game making it the best version for all of them (Yggdra's pc port aside but theyre negligible differences)

@apocynadeae good call - i just gave it its own entry. i know dept. heaven is technically a series but i'll consider it more akin to final fantasy since nothing seems to be directly connected and they're not numbered. i feel that'll prolly minimize confusion
(not that ff games aren't numbered - but x has nothing to do with xiii, so on so forth)
