I’ve just read about PaRappa the Rapper coming to the PSP. This PSOne title was one of my favorite games. To hear it is coming to the PSP makes me want to play it. There is a part of me that feels a little cheated since it is a straight port of the PSOne game. While I loved PaRappa, I have played it thousands of times. If there is nothing new to the PSP version then why bother?

PaRappa isn’t the only port game out there. To an extent, I feel the same way about most port games. Some port games I haven’t played at all, so it’s brand new to me. I bought Conker Live and Reloaded that includes the port of Conker’s Bad Fur Day. It is a little different, though. Also, Conker Live and Reloaded isn’t just Bad Fur Day but a new Conker adventure.

With the next gen consoles here, I wonder how many new games for them will be games that we have seen before? With their hefty price tags, they need to bring something new to the table to make me buy it.
