I thought there was a bunch of FPSs.

Medal of Honor
Call of Duty
Killzone
The GTA games
A couple of Tom Clancy ones including a new one coming out next month
A couple Star Wars ones
A couple SOCOMs

Which were you looking for?

The graphics are pretty good on PSP, I believe they are comparable to the PS2 and better than the DS.

Laugh it up fat boy.

I just played Paper Mario - the thousand year door. Yes, it's a "kiddie game", but it's still fun.

Challenging at times too. Just because Mario is a "kids" game, doesn't mean it cant be enjoyed.

Well, I'd never seen Killzone or Star Wars, so didn't realize what the gameplay was, and what is GTA?

BTW, isn't GOW fps? I was thinking maybe an old Doom or Quake too...

Oh, Grand Theft Auto... eh, never cared for them...

Not to mention, each person has their own views on any console, PC, handheld, and women, so.....your best bet is to play with each one and find the HH that fits your needs/wants.

Thanks for the link, but do you know of any more recent reviews/comparos? I did a quick google, but couldn't find much...

after looking at the DS catalog, and thinking about the Metroid (one of my old favorites) demo I played on DS and how hard it seemed... I'm kinda leaning towards the PSP...

Cool.

Dont get me wrong, the PSP is a badboy too. The reason i didn't get one, was because of the price, but since it's down now, I have been seriously thinking about getting it for the kiddo (11 year old, not Brookie)....oh, and for me to play with too.

Either way, handhelds are HUGE these days, and I have a feeling they aren't going away anytime soon. Keep us informed on your purchase, and a review would be cool too.

Yes, this is a MUST have. I got the 'game shark' version... think there might be some others out there as well.

I'll have to look into the grips...

After looking over all the games again I decided I'll keep the old GBA for when I need a Mario fix, and get the PSP.

The wife and I were in Wally World last night (go ahead say it), and I picked up Lemmings. Seriously, I love that game. So, I played through a few levels last night on the cousin's PSP, but I've got to go to Best Buy at lunch to exchange a faulty tripod, so I'll pick up a PSP while I'm there. Just gonna get the economy pack and a memory stick. I might also check out these grips you guys are talking about...

Well, thanks all!

I have the free version of DVDFab Decryptor and it has options for generic mobile, Ipod and PSP rips. I think it's only the main movie not the enire DVD I have not used those features but from what I hear they work.
