If you are a puzzle game aficionado, you will really enjoy the best puzzle games for the PSP. After all, puzzle games have always been true time-killers and you can enjoy them anytime, anyplace.
Here is a list of the top 5 Sony PSP puzzle games:
1. Lumines and Lumines II (Cost: $30)
Lumines is possibly the most popular puzzle game for the PSP. Amazing graphics, sleek environment and beautifully designed stages anchored by vivid colors, pioneer game-play and ultra-responsive controls buttons. What else there is to ask from a puzzle game? Similar in idea with Tetris, Lumines features squares of four blocks of one or two colors that keep coming down on the screen. Your goal is to create colored rhombuses by rotating and placing the coming down blocks correctly. Lumines action, superb music and sound effects make this exceptional puzzle game a must-have; not to mention, addictive.
2. Mercury Meltdown (Cost: $11)
Mercury Meltdown is the sequel to the original Mercury that measures thousands of fans around the globe. More addictive, more innovative and more fun than ever, the game entices you right away. You start with a drop of mercury and your quest is to drive it to the end of the stage. Sounds easy? Well, Mercury Meltdown is a highly challenging game as you are required to overcome a wide variety of obstacles, including pitfalls, narrow corridors and gates. To your best advantage, you can split the drop of mercury to smaller ones, heat it up to play with its intensity, ice it to become hard and stiff or even color it. All you need is to carefully plan your strategy and enjoy the rush of successfully completing one level after another.
3. Angry Birds (Cost $3.99)
The simplicity, well designed graphics, hilarious sounds effects and mind-troubling puzzles of Angry Birds have made it one of the most popular and addictive puzzle games worldwide. Fly angry birds via a slingshot towards the pigs that have stolen your eggs. Does this sound too simple? Well, to destroy the pigs you have to first demolish their wooden, metal and glass structures; and as you move on it gets more challenging. To break them down, you have to choose the right spot in order to target them accurately and hit them on the spot. One wrong move and everything is gone.
4. Exit (Cost $12.99)
Exit gives puzzle games a whole different meaning. Your quest is to lead your character and the rest survivors out of the most difficult situations, including flaming buildings and half- destroyed hospitals. Your way toward the exit is not going to be easy as you are facing obstacles seemingly impossible to beat. Despite the fact that you are tempted to break your PSP into small pieces while playing, Exit's game-play, magnificent movie-clips and surround environment is forcing you to go on forever, at least until you get out of trouble.
5. WTF: Work Time Fun (Cost: $6)
The morbid Japanese humor of WTF is simply unbeatable. You are a temp agent, called to perform some outwardly easy tasks such as escaping from the blood thirsty Dracula and capsule machines as a true super hero. As you level up, you unlock more stages and the fun simply never ends.
