For many years, the Sony Company has proven itself to be one of the top players in the video game industry. With the Playstation 3 (PS3) and the Playstation Portable (PSP) currently raking in the sales, Sony is certainly a major player in both the home console and on-the-go gaming system types. And, since its Playstation 2 (PS2) is also still a big seller in the market, Sony is obviously a favorite among many video game players.

But, many players wish that some of the games that they play on their Sony home consoles were available for play on their Sony PSP’s. Some of the best Sony video games are available on the PS2 and the PS3, but they aren’t available (yet, at least) on the PSP. Here are some of the best-loved home consoles video games that fans would love to see on the PSP.

Dark Cloud/Dark Cloud 2 (PS2)

These are role-playing adventure (RPG) games, much like Nintendo’s Zelda series of games. The PSP is somewhat lacking in quality RPG games, and porting the Dark Cloud series to the PSP could really be a smart move for Sony. This series is well-crafted and well-written. The graphics are superb, and they would translate well to the PSP’s smaller screen.

Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil (PS2)

Klonoa is a well-known character that has been a part of the video game world since 1997. Some of his games have been just so-so; however, this particular platforming game is very good. Lunatea’s Veil keeps Klonoa’s signature quirkiness and adds in solid gameplay and amazing visuals, and keeps it fresh and interesting. This game is rather short, but this can be an advantage for a hand-held game.

Warhawk (PS3)

A multi-player sci-fi shooter, Warhawk could be a great game to bring to the PSP. Players have the option of being on foot, in a tank, or in the air on the PS3 version; this variety of choice could certainly be offered in the PSP version. Online play could also be available for the PSP version. With the PSP’s graphic and sound capabilities, Warhawk would likely work very well as a PSP game.

Heavenly Sword (PS3)

This game is an action game in which the player is a heroine who must fight thousands of enemies in order to keep the titular sword from falling into enemy hands. Many people have compared this PS3 game to the God of War series because the action is similar. Like the aforementioned Klonoa game, Heavenly Sword is a rather short game; however, this can be a good thing for a PSP game.

Amplitude (PS2)

Music and rhythm games are quite popular these days, so Amplitude would make a great game for the PSP. This rhythm game is one in which the player must keep to the beat by tapping buttons in time with the music. The game is well-designed, and can be quite addictive. The PS2 version has online capability, so certainly a PSP version could be designed with that capability as well.

Shadow Hearts/Shadow Hearts: Covenant/Shadow Hearts: From the New World (PS2)

The PSP could definitely use this high-quality RPG series that was made for the PS2. Each game in this series was well-designed, with good graphics and a satisfying level of depth. The addition of the Shadow Hearts series could give quite a boost to the PSP library of games.

Any PS2, PS3, or PSP owner will likely look at this list and have alternate suggestions of games that should have made the list. And, granted, there are many more games that would make great ports to the PSP. Hopefully, in time, Sony will make more of their console games available on the PSP system.
