Personally, I believe games are timeless regardless of nostalgia, simply requiring a bit of adjustment time. I still actively play games on older platforms quite frequently.

I still believe these games hold up; With playing for either their unique story/gameplay/mechanics. Here’s some good PSP games:

• Gitaroo Man
• Kenka Bancho
• Pursuit Force
• Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
• Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
• Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus
• Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
• Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N.
• Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable
• Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
• Phantasy Star Portable 2
• PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient 1 & 2
• The Warriors
• Puzzle Guzzle (
• Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman
• Patapon 1/2/3

I’d also recommend:

• Sims 2

Simply because the gameplay differs from the usual games.
