PSP Game of the Year, as chosen by other media outlets


Did you hear the news? Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow won Game of the Year (and reader's vote) on PSP Fanboy. So, what did other major media outlets pick as their PSP GOTY? We searched the web and found out.
  • GameSpot chose Puzzle Quest. "Puzzle Quest's bizarre (and bizarrely successful) confluence of gameplay mechanics really is precisely what makes it so addicting."
  • GameSpy chose Final Fantasy Tactics. "Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is arguably one of the best games put forth by Square Enix, with one of the better turn-based strategy gameplay systems yet developed."
  • GameTrailers chose Final Fantasy Tactics.
  • IGN chose Syphon Filter. "There's a reason why Logan's Shadow is the highest rated PSP title on our site: if you own the system, you owe it to yourself to experience one of the best titles ever made for a handheld."
The winners for PSP awards are different across all the sites -- did one of your favorite games take home the gold?

Every year, no matter what console you own, there are a few games that fall to the market with such a thud you feel your reputation for playing video games drop a little.

This award isn't for "worst" game of the year, no, but the biggest disappointment. The games that could have been something, but weren't.

PS Fanboy Best of 2007: Best Action/Adventure Game

Stay tuned all this week as we reveal the our nominees for the very best games of 2007. Winners will be declared on December 27th.

Many times, portable titles touted as Action/Adventure fall short of expectations because their big brothers on consoles have so much more power and flexibility to work in a much more complex system. This is often true, but it's not a rule of thumb. Sometimes handheld games show what sort of titles consoles are actually missing out on, or how sometimes a handheld version of a title can dominate over any previous incarnation of its respective franchise. Knowing this, we'd like to present a few of the best Action/Adventure games for the PSP.
