The PSP gets the "Best of" treatment from IGN

Yeah, our quality games list might be short, but what we've got up there definitely deserves recognition. IGN's Best of 2005 awards is admittedly a little light on variety, with most of the awards for the PSP going to Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Wipeout Pure and Lumines, but SOCOM US Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo gets a nod for Best Online Game, and homebrewers get some much needed recognition by snagging the Best Developer award over SCE Liverpool and Rockstar Leeds. We're also interested in IGN's decision to name the slow adoption of PSP features as their Biggest Surprise awardee. In many ways, homebrewers have been the ones raising the bar for what can be done with the PSP, while all Sony really seems to be interested in is supressing any far-reaching advancements just so they can make more money from Memory Sticks and UMDs.

The excitement for a console is at its highest during its first year of existence. We hope that the PSPs sophomore run isn't plagued with as much supression and thought-killing as the first year was.
