Post by **RyaNtheSlayA** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 7:32 pm

ok a note to all of you I DONT CARE ABOUT EMULATION
in fact im very against it, also i am looking for reasons to KEEP my PSPslim and not buy a DSLite again. Also im looking for descriptions of the games like overviews, less opinions. I like to see, ok are the graphics good, is the sound good, are the controls good. Im sorry but i could honestly couldnt care less about weather YOU think they are fun. Im just looking for some interesting looking games. I dont wanna start the my system has funner games than yours thing.

The fact you are so desperately searching for a reason to keep it should tell you all you need to know.

Then don't be a fool. Don't sell what you have if you ever intend to play it again. (And if you never intend to buy a DS again, why the thread?)
And there is no reason to not buy a DS unless you don't like fun games. The PSP has fun games too but just not as many IMO.
Enjoy your PSP and get a DSL when the money finds it's way to you again~

The PSP is worth it for Lumines alone. The reason I bought my PSP was for Lumines, then I bought Lumines 2 and it was worth it all over again. Now Lumines is available on Xbox Live and can be bought for PS2, so the situation may be different for you, but Lumines was reason enough for me to get a PSP.

I really enjoy solid simple gameplay, which is why I've become a big fan of shmups and beatemups, but in many ways puzzle games also fall into this area. If you aren't familiar with Lumines check the reviews and descriptions on IGN. Basically squares fall that you must rotate to create other squares. The game was designed by the guy who made Rez (I think) and the game has a nice music element. Everytime you drop or move a block it makes a sound effect, which adds to the music playing int he background. In addition all of the squares you've made will remain on screen until the sequencer bar (a vertical line) passes over it. Its a simple concept, but the game has a lot of variety and is very addicting. It gets especially hard when the blocks drop fast, but the sequencer moves very slow.

I've heard really good things about Exit 2, though I'm not sure if its stateside yet. A friend of mine got it and said it improved heavily on Exit and really added to the game overall.

Others have said Patapon and Locoroco, both unique games. I would like to recommend Power Stone Collection, but haven't played it yet and I heard the load times are kill.

does the slim really get that much more battery than the original though. I havent noticed a difference, i also thing the original feels more comfortable as i like heavier portables and i have huge hands. Also it seems the slims left trigger is messed up.
