I know they put it as an honorable mention, but it's total bullshit that they put Final Fantasy Tactics on there instead of Tactics Ogre.

Borth by Sleep on the list already makes the list valid...
... But then I notice that there is no FF Duodecim, making the list useless.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
No Jeanne d'Arc ?

Resistance Retribution should have been on there. Best story in any resistance title. Great controls considering lack of dual analog. Gameplay is great. You can also connect it to your PS3 if you have Resistance 2 and 'infect' the game. Makes it playable in dual analog via the PS3 controller and makes your character infected so his health recharges and you can swim underwater and access new areas. Also makes the game more challenging cause it disables aim-assist.
There was also online PvP which I heard was good.
Phantasy Star Portable 2 is pretty baller as well.

Pretty good list. It's hard to explain how huge of a leap the PSP was unless you were there and even today the console itself holds up and laughably has more functionality then a switch

UMD, Universal Media Disk, a disc that worked in only one machine ever.

I was a big fan of Rengoku 1/2, even being rated among the worst PSP games ever developed. I find them fun and combat can be pretty complex. You can skip Tower of Puragatory (1) since Stairway to HEAVEN (2) is just a remake of the first game + a new tower, which is the main scenario. It's basically the first game, but much better.
I love IGN. They just downloaded their own old-ass videos and thrown into a PSP frame, with insane crappy quality and a mismatch of old logos. It's probably the laziest thing I have seen in 2022 so far
You can expect that from those absolutely stupid TOP10 channels, but IGN? Come oooooon.

Come oooooon.I'm a big fan of Bend Studio and, to be honest, didn't enjoy Retribution too much, it's just a mediocre mod of Syphon Filter: Longan's Shadow. Imo Nihilistic's Burning Skies is infinite times better (one of the most underrated games on Vita).

My personal favorites are FF Dissidia 012, Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble, Tekken Dark Resurrection, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, 3rd Birthday, Ghosts of Sparta, and Burnout Legends. I still play the PSP so there are some other titles I am going through which may eventually make the list.

PSP was an awesome handheld. They had everything to make PS Vita awesome coming from that, and they just crashed and burned by misfiring everything and then losing interest. They only had to do PSP 2. No gimmicks, no PS3 lite, just specwise better than 3DS and more conventional at that.
PSP Go is the best handheld ever if you consider it's form factor and homebrew capabilities.

Don't forget 'Let Us Cling Together'. The end of the Tactics Ogre title made it sound like an ad for Bounce fabric softener.

I read the list (didn't watch the video) but is P3 that much better than P4G?
I feel like Resistance and Little Big Planet PSP got ignored since they were at the end of the systems life. Both were great though. System even got mod nation racers.

They were hurt like so much else on the PSP by having big brothers on home consoles that were just better games

Yea, I had LBP and MNR too. LBP PSP was probably my favorite version of the game cause it lacked the floaty physics, lol. I thought the controls felt better even though they were a downgrade so to speak.
Never really took to MNR, the driving controls just felt really stiff. I blame is on Mario Kart but still, it was a solid game with a lot of content.
That's what makes the handheld versions unique though.

Yea, never played Logan's Shadow, always heard great things about it though. I just thought Retribution was insanely impressive for a handheld game. Graphics still hold up and I thought the narrative was really solid for a series that never really found its way.
I don't know much about Burning Skies but glad you mentioned it, I could never remember the name. Someday I'll buy a used Vita.

Those weird underwater levels were the main improvement of Logan's Shadow over Dark Mirror, which of course makes much more sense on Syphon Filter than on Resistance.

Jeanne d'Arc
Out Run 2006
Burnout Legends

Those are probably my favourites in no particular order. I've never played Tactics Ogre, and I never got into Monster Hunter.
The PSP is absolutely amazing. I got mine on launch morning, and nothing else in gaming has ever made my jaw drop as much as Ridge Racers' incredible graphics, by handheld standards. Only ten days earlier I'd picked up a launch DS, and been amazed to have Mario 64 on a handheld. But the PSP made the DS seem like a disappointment initially. I thought it would blow the DS away. Nobody knew the DS would be an all-conquering monster.
That was a great time for handheld gaming. The two systems were so different and complemented each other perfectly. Unprecedented handheld power on the PSP and incredible innovation on the DS.
I loved the saved game icons on the PSP which sometimes played a little video when selected. Everybody's Golf was the best example.
After DS and Switch the PSP is the console I have most games for. Love it.

Peace walker lol.not only is it the worst mgs game but it's one of the worst games on the psp. Missions that have 2 enemies and you can finish in 10 seconds by running through.

Unpopular opinion but I liked Metal Gear Ac!d. The PSP had a lot of great games.

I haven't played it for ages, but from memory I enjoyed it once I started not bothering with stealth and burst through it like Schwarznegger on (even more) steroids. Rather defeating the object, but much more fun.

Such a cool handheld
