Well would you look at that! There's a sh*t ton of new PSP games out this week! I guess the PSP isn't so dead yet after all. Not only are there a lot of new games for the PSP, a majority look to be really good games. Granted the good ones are all ports ... but still!
What's looking sweet to you this week?

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

The only reason I'd even get WiiPlay is for the Wiimote. Beyond that it'd pro'lly just collect dust, only to be brought out when somebody who's never even seen a Wii wants to see what it can do.
the 2 best looking psp games on that list aren't ports at all. ratchet and clank is a ps2 series but the game is all original. its also been getting pretty damn good reviews for a psp.

I'm really taking Nintendo to task with this Wii for old people and non-gamer stuff and trying all these simple games on my family. So far they hate madden, hate call of duty, hate trauma center, hate warioware, kinda like excite truck and love Wii sports. I suspect this one will go over well.
Hmm.. I wouldnt count on the PSP getting revitalized, it might be quite the opposite, just before the xbox died on us, they released every single title that was on development. They were good times, 2 months later nothing showed up and we knew it was all over.
The Warriors, Ghost Rider, and Rainbow Six Vegas are all ports from PS2 to PSP that are better suited as console experiences. The only good game I see that is custom-made for PSP is Ratchet and Clank. I agree the PSP is looking better these days, but please, let's not celebrate the fact that it's getting ports.
Why not celebrate the fact that it's getting ports? You nintendo nerds shit your pants for mario kart/animal crossing/final fantasy III just to name a few.

And I wish I had a PSP for Ratchet.
