Game Informer follows up on their Nintendo list of "Games to Watch - 2005", with the Sony version. The summary includes games for both the Playstation 2 and the new spit-shined Playstation Portable. Games that made the cut are Metal Gear, Kingdom Hearts and Devil May Cry. Their surprise selection is Lumines, a puzzle game for the handheld device.

Color me unimpressed. What do I really have to look forward to on the PS2 or the PSP? Jaggies? Loading times? Power outlets?
The real action is happening on the PC, Xbox and the Nintendo DS this year with some gems for the GameCube too.
Wanda and the Colossus is the only compelling PS2 game I'll be picking up. Final Fantasy can go shart itself for all I care. Isn't anyone else sick of the angst filled, reluctant hero and the craptacular dialogue? How can I care about those kind of characters that need a kick to the head? Gimmie old-skool Final Fantasy on the DS and I'll be a happy man.

Lumines looks interesting as I love puzzle games and love Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Wanda and the Collosus looks gorgeous and i'd love to see how it plays. I can't say anything else on the list looks worth keeping an eye on except God Of War which would come to be a very nice action platformer. This list seems awfully small, don't you think?

I'm not buying a PSP for a puzzle game. if I want a puzzle game, i have a pda, or gba or ds. aren't there any good rpgs coming to psp? how about an awesome fps?
is the DS getting any good rpgs? i know they are getting Metroid Prime: Hunters as a good fps with great controls.
