PSP Games List

one of the best ways to find a full list of all PSP games is through Wikipedia. To its credit, the site has a table of released games with helpful headings like the date of release, game developer, game publisher, etc.  But, the website lacks the presentation finesse and the dynamic graphics.  Our site attempting to show a list of videogames most especially PlayStation Portable games should throw them in all their dynamic glory. At the very least, the site should have had the option to click and reorganize the listing according to genre, for example.  A very simplistic listing does not do justice for great games.

IGN.com takes it a step further by giving a list and incorporating a rating system. Each game in their list of all psp games has a rating on a 10-point scale based on the opinion of their reviewers. Referring back to the break-out games mentioned above, “Patapon” (9.2/10) and “Little Big Planet” (9.0/10) garnered very high reviews. And well deserved ones at that since both had massive and well documented appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers.  Although the website is really helpful to do their ranking system, the consistent pop up advertisements is really off-putting. Each and every page is practically bordered on all sides by marketing material.  Every click leads to an announcement before arriving at a specific page. This has the effect of diluting the purity of the playful spirit that is in PlayStation games by inundating the site visitor with too much commercialism. It is so bad to the point that the rating system becomes suspect because the rating could be construed as a paid endorsement.  One point is there are some games that haven't been released yet but are already garnering top ranks, even though the gamer or review were has only seen as far as the graphics.  it is quite clear that they are biased with the rankings in the list of all PSP games.

 A website containing a list of all PSP games should not only be clerical or should not border on commercialism.  It should tell you how fun each and every game is. Unfortunately such a website has yet to be seen.
