Comment on What are your favourite PSP games?

If you’re into racing games, you could try ‘Colin McRae Rally 2005’ — it’s quite good and even requires a bit of knowledge about racing setups.

‘Race Driver 2006’ is also alright, it’s an expanded port of ‘TOCA Race Driver 2’ with lots of content and okay physics.

There’s ‘Twisted Metal: Head-On’, which is reportedly pretty good and in the vein of the first two games in the series (which had a different feel from 3-4 and probably ‘Black’ too).

If you’re into making music, check out LittleGPTracker: it’s a tracker-style app that works on PSP among other platforms and allegedly can load samples, as a tracker should. Inspired by the famous LSDJ for the Gameboy.

Oh hell yeah I hadn’t even considered running a tracker on PSP. I’m a big fan of LSDj and Dirtywave!

  Forgot to mention: ‘Sid Meyer’s Pirates!’ is reportedly good on PSP, and it’s in my queue as a classic economic sim.
  
  ‘Pilot Academy’ is a remarkably difficult flight sim. Try also ‘R/C Stunt Copter’ on PS1 for extra credit.
  
  There are several ‘Airport Hero’ games, from the ‘Air Traffic Controller’ series, aptly named for being simulators of ATC.
  
  I’ve also heard good things about ‘428: Shibuya Scramble’, which is a detective visual novel adventure.

    An ATC simulator on handheld seems like a bizarre game development choice… I must see this game in action!

    There were also games from that series on GBA, NDS, 3DS, and five games on phones.
    
    Again forgot: I’m not sure that the PSP games are officially translated to English, since the series primarily targets the Japanese market. But there might be fan translations.

  Then you’re probably all set with Dirtywave, but you could also be interested in looking at SunVox for Android. It’s a combination of a modular synth, tracker and sequencer. Has a rather peculiar interface, and has been around on portable platforms like PalmOS for twenty years.
  
  I’m not sure that the app can currently be bought, since the author is in Russia and will certainly not receive the money (not right away, at least), but afaik one can pay him directly and he’ll arrange the apk.
  
  For my taste, SunVox is too much in beep-boop territory, so I prefer desktop trackers with some gnarly samples and effects, but the app is definitely good.
