Perhaps for the more hardcore gamer than the DS, nonetheless the Sony PSP is a great console that provides some fantastic electronic entertainment. Not least this year, out for the PSP is the brilliant sequel LocoRoco 2. This puzzler has a charm that’ll keep you entertained for a couple of weeks and will more than put a smile on your face. The graphics are really nice and whilst the gameplay is simple it proves to be fiendishly addictive.

If you’re after an action based title then look no further than God Of War: Chains of Olympus. Kratos is once again on top form, and you’ll find yourself slicing it up with the best of them in no time. If want something just as fast paced but from a racing point of view, then why not hit up Midnight Club: Remix. It has plenty to like, if a challenging difficulty slant.

Of course, there are some (slightly) older but entertaining titles that are well worth a look, including Everybody’s Golf 2 – which is a great little arcadey game based on the titular sport. I’d like to end this list with two games that come with particular recommendation. R-Type Tactics (as with the other R-Type games there’s more to this than meets the eye). Lastly, there’s Final Fantasy VII – Crisis Core.

I hope in this list that there’s something for everyone and many hours of gameplay for you – whatever type of gamer you are.
