Dexter is not better, for example, than God of War or Crisis Core. And honestly, you can't argue that the controls for Dexter are as good as a PSP game.

It's nonsense to says that. Strategy Turn bu turn game are more practible with touch, and so for Puzzle quest, or Toki tori or Let's golf (fullly playable) Yes i have a PSP and locorocco is one of my favorites games on this. No, Locorocco on the PSP doesn't looks and sound FAR better than Rolando. But Rolando 2 looks far better than locorocco 2. But other lies. I put links for GTA PSP and you can see, it's not by far better technically than Dexter for example... Why is so difficult to admit that there are really good and solid games on Iphone and EVEN that some of these games are close or on the same level than console games ? Really , you can't admit that ? @Gump:"you forgot to mention that all these games controls suck, and locoroco on the psp looks and sounds far better than rolando, do you have even have a psp to be saying these lies"

None are from 2.0, which is what the 3GS GPU is designed for.

Chris. @Quebec Rage: really? people play games on the iphone and not so much on the blackberry? fascinating. I thought blackberries were all about the games. but seriously now, how can you be going off about the iPhone games market on an iPhone games site, and not expect to be labeled as a troll? you're right. a lot of people buy $1 apps. but all kids? I think not w/ a 40million user installed base. Water & terrain can get a pretty big boost too.

The PSP is a nice hackable gaming device. iPhone and iPod Touch are nicer at just about everything, but it is not the ideal place for the traditional console style games. This is basically because it doesn't have game buttons or a control pad of any kind. PSP people are losing in sales to the DS, so I'm not sure why we are obsessing over graphics, either. ;) Not that sales determine which is better. Just play what you like. There are many reasons to love the DS, the PSP, and the iPod Touch/iPhone. Mostly they all have different games that are FUN. We all win. :) Oh, and this video is a tech demo for techies and it's in super poor quality to boot. Everyone can agree on that, right? @Quebec Rage
