psp games worth buying?

[FrostedMonkeyFlakes]

I was planning on picking up a psp tomorrow for my son's 9th b-day. Obviously he'd like some games to go with it. I was thinking about Eyepet and Little Big Planet. What are some games that you'd call must haves for a younger gamer?

[Anti-pie]

Patapon.

[unconsidered]

Gitaroo Man
Monster Hunter (any)
Split Second

[FrostedMonkeyFlakes]

crap, I forgot about Patapon, I'd wanted to try that one myself.

[Tony-DarkGrave]

only the original FF's on PS Sotre

FFIII and VII for the win!

Seems odd to get a PSP now, considering the Vita is coming out on the 22nd of this month.

But anyway,
-Crisis Core (and the older FF games on PSN. Specifically IX)
-Dissidia 012
-Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
-Daxter
-Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier
-Patapon
-Medievil Resurrection (the original on PSN is arguably better, but it's much harder)
-Little Big Planet

Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite
Ratchet and Clank
Jak and Daxter

All I can think of at the moment.

Eh, a nine year old doesn't need a $250 portable gaming device, and I'd rather only be out $130 when it inevitably gets broken. If I was to buy a Vita it would be for myself and since I don't find much time to play video games while I'm out and about, I won't be. Getting an older system there's also good sized backlog of cheap games for him to choose from.

Thanks for the ideas, gents.

Correct sir. I would of course suggest the DS, but your logic is solid. I sincerely doubt he would even fully appreciate the Vita. It does look very good though.

He's been pretty vocal for a couple years about wanting a PSP. His older brother got a DS for his last birthday, and he's stuck to his guns about wanting a psp still. They can always trade off too ,so no worries.

Just want to point out that Dissidia 012: Duodecim includes an improved version of the first game too, so getting both (or getting the original at all really) is pointless.

[II2none]

Daxter

Burnout Legends

Coded arms

god of war chains of Olympus

probably kingdom hearts birth by sleep

[Squidbit]

I like LocoRoco, pretty entertaining. I can't think of very much that hasn't been mentioned, though.
You could always look through the online store with him and ask what he wants.

[RYNOL]

Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
Secret Agent Clank
Daxter
Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier
MediEvil
Ape Escape
LittleBigPlanet
Monster Hunter
Spyro (PSOne Classics)
Crash Bandicoot (PSOne Classics)
Patapon
LocoRoco

Also, I would suggest getting Trails in the Sky for yourself if you're into RPG's.

[Cootie]

Loco Roco is an easy to play, adorable, and amazingly fun game.

[dmansland]

Get him Corpse Party and scar him for life!

[darkengy]

Patapon series~

[LiquidFire]

daxter
kingdom hearts: birth by sleeep
littlebigplanet
jak and daxter: the lost frontier

If he's into sneaking games, then metal gear solid: peace walker.

[Emlfuryoflion]

Tales of the world Radiant mythology is good if he is into the RPG type of games.
