Syphon Filter for PSP

I’ve known about the Syphon Filter franchise all along, was interested in it the entire time, but never got any of the games. (SF games on any platform)

Christmas 2007 I got my first PSP. I was interested highly in getting something I liked on that device, but never got much of anything useful (things being somewhat restrictive for me, I can’t just get something that costs 39.99 when I feel like it!)

Syphon Filter and Socom were both on my horizon, as well as other games, and I just never quite “got to it” to make a decision. Eventually (Christmas 2009) I got a new PSP and my eldest got one too. This made it easier for me to get some things, sharing UMD’s and all. It wasn’t “just for me” anymore.

One of the games I wanted was Jeanne D’Arc. I picked that up finally this year. There are others that still haven’t graced our presence. Brick stores have so little in the way of PSP UMD’s these days. We buy most of our stuff USED, but not always, not always have either.

Recently I wrote about Syphon Filter: Combat Ops, how we decided to get it on PSN and liked it enough that when we were in GameStop last night there was one of the packs of games (I saw them in Best Buy before) that Sony Playstation recently released (old games bundled together for one nice price) and it ended up absolutely being ours.

We also found a used copy of Logan’s Shadow. So we have Syphon Filter fulfilled on our PSP’s now.

I love the look of Logan’s Shadow, it’s so gorgeous, all the menus, it really shines in the blue theme. (Combat Ops is red, Dark Mirror is green)

The thing about Logan’s Shadow and Dark Mirror which is different from Combat Ops is: you login to the infrustructure with a user name and password, NOT your PSN ID. Hurray! (Combat Ops uses your PSN ID)

We traded-in several games to get these. We got these plus Uncharted 2 (for my husband) and still had credit leftover. (I was shockingly pleased at how much some of the games pulled in …)

On another PSP topic, I’ve seen lots about the game The 3rd Birthday, saw it in the store last night, looked at it, it seems interesting, but I don’t know if it is my thing, per se, or what. I know that online it seemed to be a lot of people thrilled with it coming, but I don’t know it’s history or anything. I guess I’m inputting this information to record my interest and that will someday force me to do more research.

Meanwhile, I’ll be busy with Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow, for awhile.
