PSP - Pixel Junk Monsters Deluxe is a wonderful little title and a good gateway drug to the Pixel Junk series on PSN for PS3 if you go that route. It's got a great art style, the music is fun, and it's incredibly challenging as you go on. It doesn't neatly fit into any of your categories (except maybe quirky, and puzzle since it can require a lot of thinking) but I highly recommend it, especially as a portable game.

LBP is also supposed to be very good and you may or may not like Assassin's Creed Bloodlines.

I'm not sure if you stay up on PSN titles, but FFVII, FFT are up on the Playstation Store, FFVIII is coming and Vagrant Story might, but you can get it by making a European account. These are all games I'd like to put on the PSP, as well as Harvest Moon Boy & Girl.

DS - DQIV I can personally vouch for and I'm sure DQV is just as good. Also, I'm not sure if you ever got FFXII Revenant Wings, if not you should really check it out.



I know you're not asking for it, but you can probably already guess that you really need to play Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls, I'm assuming you'd be into Disgaea 3 as well. White Knight Chronicles: International Edition is coming out in February, and Final Fantasy XIII and Yakuza 3 are in March. 3d Dot Heroes is in May. Just saying.
