Yeah, I played a little bit of Ogre Battle some time after I had finished Final Fantasy Tactics and I couldn't believe the sense of deja vu I got while playing it. FFT was almost a complete ripoff....but a really GOOD ripoff.

Well, the team that worked on FFT for SquareSoft did do Orge Tactics first on the Super Famicom for a different company. I wouldn't call FFT a ripoff of Orge Tactics (thou one dude at my college did chew me out for not knowing where FFT got its start). But I would like to see SquareEnix come out with a "mature" SRPG that follows Orge Tactics or FFT (without the "A").

I disagree CRUSH is excellent and as someone who didn't play it until recently, I would say it holds up just fine in 2013.

I second all those that mentioned Castlevania Dracula X, Maverick Hunter X, and Jeanne D'Arc as excellent PSP titles.

Daxter is not a bad little 3D platformer if you like that style of game.

[Valkyrie-Favor]

There have been a lot of great games suggested here. I've heard of pretty much all of them, but I'm going to recommend the ones I've played and think are really awesome.
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Extend
Valkyria Chronicles II
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Wipeout Pure
Tactics Ogre
Knights in the Nightmare
Outrun 2006
Ridge Racer/Ridge Racer 2 (the same game, but with more content)
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Yggdra Union
Star Ocean: Second Evolution
Jeanne D'Arc
Dissidia Final Fantasy/Dissidia 012
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions
Crisis Core

A few games I haven't played yet, but plan to:
Locoroco
Hot Shots Tennis
Thexder NEO
Pangya Fantasy Golf
Corpse Party 1 and 2
Dracula X Chronicles
Growlanser
Gungnir
Riviera
Valkyria Chronicles III

[SNKnicotine]

Let's not forget Mega man powered up, I really like the level design and sprite style.

[saturnfan]

I could list a bunch of favorites, but Growlanser is a must have.

I have random tastes for PSP games. Some are so damn cheap, it would be dumb not to buy them.

Most everyone here has said good games too, here are a few of my picks

Lumines
Gunpey
Gurumin a monstrous adventure
Both disgaeas
Prinny can I really be the hero (both)
Hammerin hero
WTF work time fun
Undead knights
Me and my katamari

The PSP is one of my favorite systems

[SNKnicotine]

It's a great system, I had a 3k psp and sold it because I was dumb and hadn't done my homework on hidden gems within the catalog. I also only bought Shooters (like ghost recon and others) which the genre didn’t lend itself well to the psp control scheme. Long story short (South park quote) I've bought some really awesome titles I want to dive in to as soon as i get my PSP.

Also: I’d also add R-type command

I had a lot of fun with Ace Combat X. Best arcade dogfighting series around and it works great on the PSP. Lots of dithering on this title though.
