A brighter year for PSP UMD games on 2007?

Much has been said and done about our dear PSP units for the year 2006. While the homebrew community has been very active at cracking the firmwares open and coming up with kick-ass games and applications, it seems that UMD games suffered some setbacks. Looking at the brighter side of things though, we can all just content ourselves with the knowledge that there are a couple of good releases coming this 2007.

Of all these upcoming releases, I’m personally excited about Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure and HOT PXL. You might notice that these two games are very much different from each other. Well, that is precisely the reason why I’m looking forward to them both. They display the flexibility and the scope the library of PSP games have. It makes us PSP owners proud, when you really think about it.

Anyway, that’s just me. Let’s talk about you. What particular game or games are you excited about and why? While we know you’ve memorized by heart all upcoming 2007 PSP games, still, here’s a list we came across with while surfing the net. Feel free to add some of your own choices to it.

• The Warriors (Rockstar)
• Rainbow Six: Vegas (Ubisoft)
• Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters (Sony)
• Valhalla Knights (XSEED Games)
• Burnout Dominator (Electronic Arts)
• After Burner: Black Falcon (Sega)
