Best PSP Games of All Time

Best PSP Games of All-time is a pretty broad term, especially given the PSP had a shelf life of approximately 10 years following its launch back in 2004/5. However, a lot can happen in 10 years, especially when you’re aiming to be the best.

PSP was billed as a portable PS2, and for the most part delivered on that promise of being a top-quality portable system despite sporting only a single analogue nub. The system went through numerous iterations, with the original model being upgraded to the PSP-3000 before its swansong as the PSP Go, a digital-only system which adopted a sliding out screen to keep the device on the small side. Those with UMDs were left wondering how to play their catalogue of games… and there were hundreds of games were produced, but what were the Top 10, or Top 25? What are the greatest, most amazing experiences. Those PSP games with good graphics, or those 18+ games that drove home what the PSP was all about.

God of War: Chains of Olympus, Lumines, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Patapon, LocoRoco, Wipeout Pulse, and Daxter are just some of the titles which highlight the breadth of quality titles available for the first of Sony’s portable PlayStations, some which became the best-selling games on the system.</p><p>Read on to see which games make the list; the best PSP games of all-time.
