UMD Is Here To Stay

If Kaz Hirai's assurances that the PSP-3000 and the UMD format aren't being discontinued weren't enough, the price of the PSP Go coming this October should be. At $250 I'm not sure who the PSP Go is for, but that's another story. Today, to celebrate the continued life of the little disc-based format that could – for games, anyway – here are four great PSP game values I noticed recently over at NewEgg.
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, $9.99
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, $9.99
Field Commander, $9.99
Sega Genesis Collection, $12.99
All of those titles also have free shipping for the continental USA. I already own three of the four of them and found them to be great values at their normal prices. What's so great about them?
The Syphon Filter games are absolutely stellar first person shooters on the handheld with a very well done control scheme, very good graphics, and even online play. I want to call the taser the signature weapon of the series and it's available both for both single-player and online play and is one of my favorites. What's better than hearing your friend complain over voice chat after you immobilize and fry him in place? Sony Bend is responsible for this series of games and they were the talent picked to do the recent critical darling Resistance: Retribution for the PSP.
Field Commander makes this list because it features great Advance-Wars-style turn-based strategy gameplay with excellent visuals, beefy missions, and a surprising set of online play options, including play-by-email to let you take turns playing online any time you like. Want the digital version? It's $15 on the PlayStation Store.
The Sega Genesis Collection is lauded as one of the best retro gaming collections ever made that's portable to boot. This one is much cheaper than its newer Sonic sibling on the PS3 at this price, too.
There are more titles available for $9.99. Some of the better ones include Lumines II, Every Extend Extra, N+, Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade, and Twisted Metal: Head On.
Happy shopping!
