Top Five Launch Games for PSP Go

Sony recently launched the PSP Go. The new PSP model doesn't come with a new UMD drive, meaning that you can't buy any retail games and can only download games from the Playstation Store. To prepare for the launch, Sony unleashed hundreds of PSP games on their digital distribution store. So which of the launch games are worth buying and downloading? Here are the top five launch games for the PSP Go.

5. Um Jammer Lammy

PSOne Classics are expected to play a big role in terms of digital distribution with the PSP Go. These retro Playstation games are given new life thanks to the Playstation Store.

4. Gran Turismo

After years of development (including the threat of cancellation at one point), Gran Turismo finally arrived on the handheld system.

3. PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe

2. Resistance: Retribution

Sony decided to give the Resistance series a little makeover when they developed Resistance: Retribution for the PSP.

With innovative controls and an abundance of online multiplayer options to boot, Resistance: Retribution is the top multiplayer launch game for the PSP Go.

1. God of War: Chains of Olympus

New PSP Go owners would want something to show off their new hardware. No other launch game pushes the PSP to the limit as much as God of War: Chains of Olympus.

Because of that, you won't find a better PSP Go launch game than God of War: Chains of Olympus.
