Exclusive
Surprisingly, the PSP has very few exclusive compared to other video game systems on the market. You would think the most advance handheld gaming system ever could produce more exclusive games. Still, the few available are worth buying the
PSP to play. Here are the top five exclusive games on the PSP.

5. Jeanne D'Arc

Publisher: SCEA, Developer: Level 5, Release Date: August 21, 2007, ESRB Rating: T

Jeanne D'Arc is a turn-based strategy game with a story inspired on Joan of Arc. This PSP exclusive is one of only a handful of role-playing exclusive games on the handheld system. So expect top-notch audio and visuals. In addition, the engaging strategic gameplay will keep you glued to the PSP screen. Needless to say, Jeanne D'Arc is one of the best original games on the PSP.

4. Patapon

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment, Developer: Sony Computer Entertainment, February 26, 2008, ESRB Rating: E

Another original PSP game is Patapon, which is a music rhythm game unlike any other. You control an army by simulating the banging of war drums. Several strategic elements also add to the depth of this PSP exclusive. The slick silhouette graphics and strangely addicting chants further enhances the experience. At a budgeted price to boot, Patapon should be in your PSP collection.

3. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Publisher: Square Enix, Developer: Square Enix, Release Date: March 25, 2008, ESRB Rating: T

Square Enix's line of Final Fantasy VII spin-offs has been lacking quality. That is, until Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII arrived exclusively to the PSP. Taking place before the events of Final Fantasy VII, the spin-off features plenty of fan service. Its hack-and-slash combat system and handheld-friendly missions will give non-fans something to look forward to in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII as well.

2. God of War: Chains of Olympus

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment, Developer: Ready at Dawn Studios, Release Date: March 4, 2008, ESRB Rating: M

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is the PSP's Killer App
Easily the best looking portable game ever, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops plays as good as it looks (with the exception of some control issues). With deep single player and addictive multiplayer modes, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is the killer app for the PSP.

God of War: Chains of Olympus Review
I just got my copy of God of War: Chains of Olympus for my Playstation Portable (PSP), and I'm thrilled! It's violent, bloody, and brutal, but highly entertaining for anyone looking for a good blood and guts thrasher of a video game.

I actually agree with the titles 3,2 & 1.. as I've never played 4 & 5 on the list.. although its strange because I know alot of people did not appreciate the MGS gameplay, I do feel that things could have been done better, like making the missions "seamless" and the item implementation (only 4 items at a time, really?) But it is definitely my favorite game on the PSP hands down. God of War was great, short but great. And there's things I really appreciate about CC:FF..but some of it almost brings back the horrible moments of Dirge of Cerberus.. (slicing air attacked missiles with a single blade?) I'm almost done beating it, and some of it feels hit or miss, but overall its a hit.
