So I’m getting read to head out to a number of conferences - I’ll be on the road for the next four weeks, starting off in Barcelona by being on the keynote panel for the European Broadcasting Union’s Multimedia Meets Radio conference. And that means a fully loaded PSP, with a bundle of games to get me through the flights, delays, queues and aggravation. So what are my top 5 PSP games while travelpsping? And has it changed since the same show last year? Let’s find out
(And as a challenge, try and guess the top five before you listen…)
You’ll be able to follow my adventures at www.ewanspence.com/video and the more official reporting over on The Tech Conference Show. Don;t worry though, with some big PSP games on the way, and the occasional surprise, you’ll still get your weekly hit of PSP podcasting fun.

Just found your show after dusting off my psp. You are right about Wipeout Pulse, it is very addicting. Love the show.

I will be carefull not too leave any spoilers in this comment.
Yet again another enthusiastic show which may well mean me parting with some hard earned cash. I went out and bought WipeOut Pulse after your review in a previous show, it did not dissappoint. Your show should come with a warning that it may result in impulse purchases!
Liked the top 5 travel games and intrigued by your number 1 choice, didn’t really think this was my type of game but am very tempted to give it a try.
Suprised however that you didn’t mention some of the other uses of a PSP when travelling for example The Passport to series of city guides, Talkman the translator or even using the GPS. I have not tried any of these myself but would be interested to hear about anyone that has.
Thanks again for a great show, I’m off to explore http://www.ewanspence.com

David, you might want to go back a little bit, as I did a full review of Wipeout Pulse in Show 63.

Geo Warrior, Thanks for your comment - Wipeout Pulse is getting very close to a ’system defining’ title, which is a good thing. You’ll need to hunt for an import version of the number one title to get the best value IMO.
On the other uses, I think I’ve spoken about Passport To… previously. In short the info is hard to find and too limited to be of any use beyond 100% tourist mode. GPS isn’t available (yet ) in the UK and besides, my phone does that! Talkman would be worth a look.

How do you spell the number one game??
might take a look at it…..
Oh and i managed to get a copy of patapon, now that would be deffinetly in my top 5, when i went to save my gae, it said 1:36 playing time!! WHERE DID ALL THAT TIME GO?!?!

Notter,
The game at number one is BEHIND THIS SPOILER LINK and you can go hunt it down that way. As to Patapon, I do have a review copy (expect that later this week) but as it’s a review copy, the flush of ‘new game’ may well wash off later, or it may stay sparkling. Maybe in the next traveling top 5, eh?
