So what PSP games do you guys recommend?

I just got a new PSP, used to own the first model, now i got the slim bundle with a blue slim PSP and Madden 09'

Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX is actually pretty good! I'd compare it to the dreamcast port, with extra characters.

Killzone: Liberation is addicting so far!

and Metal Slug Anthology is just plain awesome!!!!

Madden is "bleh" im not into football games

i really want to check out Metal Gear Portable Ops

God, finally finished Vile's cheap as hell hard mode. I don't like using him at all. One more knock against the Mega Man X remake. I'd had preferred playable Zero and it looks like you get nothing for beating the game on hard with both characters. Thanks for nothing Capcom

Portable Metal Slug sounds cool. I certainly wouldn't mind that, though MS 3 I'd avoid. That game's final stage is hell.

I hear a lot of 2-d fighters being recommended. Do they play well on a PSP pad? I wouldn't mind getting that Darkstalkers game, but I wonder how well it will play when I have to do constant fireball motions and half circles. I've got Vampire Savior on the Saturn and Darkstalkers 3 on the Playstation 1. I love the series. The PSP version is tempting

yeah that MS anthology is a must have IMO, even has a save feature so you can save exactly where you leave off and come back for more, its gnarly

My only gripe with playing SFA3 is that on the PSP Slim the L trigger and the D-pad are really close together so trying to do those strong Shoryuken start cramping my hand after a while, other than that its OK , not the best.

With Darkstalkers Chronicles I ended up doing what I used to do on SF2 on my SNES: I'd map the weak punch to the L, with medium on the Y (equivalent) and strong on the X (equivalent). I've always found that weak punch is my least used button, especially for special moves.
