For starters I am primarily a sports gamer, so you can imagine that I am going to *need* a couple of sports titles.  The same goes for racing:  a system just is not a system with out a good racing game or three.  Beyond that I need some sort of diversion that is really good for pick up and play style gaming.<\/p>\n<p>I do not have unlimited funds, but I figure that I can swing the system plus 2-5 games.  So here goes \u2026<\/p>\n<p><UL><br \/>\n<LI>FIFA Soccer or World Tour Soccer PSP.  I really have no idea which game will be the better soccer title.<\/LI><br \/>\n<LI>Baseball.  I really would like a quality portable baseball game.  Right now MVP Baseball is the only one listed as a launch title.  If I get a portable game for 50 bones, then I am not going to buy a console version this year, so I have to be really cautious with this selection.<\/LI><br \/>\n<LI>Football.  Damn, no can do here since nothing is listed.<\/LI><br \/>\n<LI>Archer Mclean\u2019s Mercury.  This looks very interesting, and different; thus worth picking up because it looks to fit the pick up and play mold perfectly.  Still, $50 for a marble madness clone is kind of a hard sale.<\/LI><br \/>\n<LI>Ridge Racers.  I am a huge fan of the series.<\/LI><br \/>\n<LI>Wipeout Pure.  Looks freaking awesome (in my best schoolboy voice).<\/LI><br \/>\n<LI>Twisted Metal:  Head On.  I love TM, TM2 and TM:Black, so Head On looks interesting.  Still, will it pack enough replay value to warrant a full price, day one purchase?  Not really sure \u2026 more research is in order.<\/LI><br \/>\n<\/UL><br \/>\nSo right out of the gate I am over budget by at least a couple of games.  I am going to wait as long as possible before deciding to pick any of the above titles.<\/p>\n<p>Other items of interests, but not necessarily launch day titles\/purchases are Formula 1 2004 (this would rule if it were a decent simulation), Grand Theft Auto (may be interesting to see what RockStar games does with the PSP), Puyo Pop Fever (I can play Puyo Pop all day, but not for $50), Gran Turismo 4 Mobile (the PS2 GT4 may be all the GT that I need), Colin McRae PSP (could be a true system seller for me if it plays well).<\/p>\n<p>And for the record, I am not one of those gamers that mind that many PS2 type games are going to be on the PSP.  There is a reason that I enjoyed certain games on the PSX and PS2, so having PSP versions for on the go play is all the better in my book.  With that said, I still hope to see innovation, but I doubt we will see much out of the gate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought it would be fun (for me anyway) to share what I want and why.
