Ok so no AMAZING games, but note worthy.

NO amazing games? Flower along was amazing. Not to mention Flow and Critter Crunch, now if my psp had some game played as fluidly and smooth I’d be happy.

hopefully that will spur some new development for the hardware.

The main thing to remember though, is at least the PSP, which is sometimes overlooked despite the rather large userbase, is that steps are always being taken to improve it. Source [...]
