I still have mine!!

I bought two of these, as the first one broke. Still love charging it up from time to time.

This device changed gaming for me forever, introduced me to the likes of Monster Hunter, Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy, and countless others. My first experience importing games too. #gamedev #indiedev

CHECK YOUR BATTERY 🚨

It's quite common to see people, esp. in the US, writing off the PSP as a failure because it didn't sell as many units as the DS. But if you think how popular it was and how good it was at what it set out to do, it's a genuine success. It sold nearly as many units as GBA despite costing 2,5x more!

a second thumbstick could have changed video gaming forever

I keep saying this. Owning a PSP delayed my first smartphone purchase. Sony didn’t know what they had until it was too late.

It was such a fascinating device. I could play Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories one moment, and the next, watch a UMD copy of 28 Days Later. It really did feel like the console of the future back in those days.

Unreal how well this rollout is going.

I also published a look back at the PSP's best launch title, Lumines. It was the earliest game to leverage the handheld's strengths instead of clumsily squeezing PS2-sized experiences onto Sony's powerful little console. www.inverse.com/gaming/lumin...

The PlayStation Portable turns 20 years old today. It's the perfect time to revisit my retrospective arguing why the PSP is the first, truly accessible multimedia smart device of our time, and how it ultimately failed to capitalize on its predictive vision.

You can never convince me this is better than Rock Band. I’m sure most are okay with it. But they’ve LITERALLY done this better before.

I remember my dad having to explain to me that the friendly Meineke guy was actually one of the most ferocious fighters of his time. A legend in two lanes.

Underrated aspect of Assassin’s Creed: its pretty amazing to have my saves just work no matter the ecosystem. GeForce Now. Steam Deck via xCloud. Xbox. Like how is this not standardized yet?

I know THAT clip is trending for all the dumbest reasons, but this shot here is so goddamn funny.

The absolute state of AEW’s main event scene. #AEWDynamite

I was just goofing around with the photo mode for a story and I’m convinced you can’t take a bad photo in this game.

I reviewed Assassin's Creed Shadows! It's an improvement over the last couple of games in the series, but it falls short of becoming a new high point. www.inverse.com/gaming/assas...

Ay bruh, watching Raw. This promo kinda sucks huh?

Damn, at $4 this is a great time.

Microsoft wants to make gaming more accessible and frictionless by bringing Copilot AI to Xbox. But what's been shown so far hasn't convinced me why any of these features would be especially useful. For Inverse: www.inverse.com/gaming/xbox-...

Split Fiction is a triumph that cements Hazelight Studios as one of the most ingenious developers making games today. My 10/10 review: www.inverse.com/gaming/split...

Split Fiction review filed and scheduled! It drops tomorrow at 11 a.m. ET.

They playing Viva La White Girl at the function. Blessed ass Friday.

Stove God and Big Body Bess gotta have a quotable-off.

Ahead of this weekend's #WWEChamber , I spoke with Bianca Belair about representation, her time with The Big Three, adjusting to tag team wrestling, and how she's helping the next crop of WWE talent. sports.yahoo.com/wrestling/ar...

If y'all think journos aren't out there pitching a TON of features about fun indies, interesting creators, and curious games stories and receiving "This story rules and I hope you find a home for it, but I don't have any budget" responses from editors, I don't know what to tell you.

We’re gonna have the same conversations about Games Journalism until there’s just one guy left like in Battle Royale and he’s gotta have to cover all the games himself.

I wish I could delete Big Sean’s verse off Looking For Trouble.

Before the WB Games news broke, I wrote about the underwhelming update on games set in the upcoming DCU. After today, I think my take is even more relevant: WBD should let more competent entities create stuff with the IPs they clearly don’t know how to manage. www.inverse.com/gaming/james...

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 now discloses the use of generative AI on its Steam page. I believe that disclosure doesn’t go far enough to inform players of the slop being peddled within. www.inverse.com/gaming/call-...
