Filling my 4 year old son with e-numbers finally paid off. Today he won me (well, us, I suppose) a Sony PSP!

I can't find a PSP thread on ILG so here's where you tell me what games I *need* to buy for me and throw in one or two suggestions for what the kids might like.

Oh, and any general battery, accessory, etc. advice would be nice too.

The official I Love Games SONY PSP thread!

Thanks. I trawled the archives for that :-/

Anyway, could a moderator please ignore this thread (locking is so draconian, doncha think?)?

how did he win a PSP?!

In a tube of Smarties (the black & white ones - 'find a coloured smartie and win a PSP!'. He ate the coloured smartie but that didn't matter because there's a ticket inside the tube. He almost threw the ticket away.

We were going to ban him from eating smarties because the blue ones made him ever so slightly mental. Now gaming can make him mental instead.

This thread shall be kept open. We like to encourage the enabling such bad habits.

I'm trying to imagine what it would have been like to grow up with parents that liked video games as much as me.

Perhaps 10-15 years from now you will have one of those aging/torch-passing moments where instead of beating you at b-ball your son kicks your ass at Super Super Mario Kart or outrolls your best katamari or some such thing.

Most folks I know with kids have already infected them. My cousin plays the pokemon games with his kids.
