Wow, the PSP sure gets a lot remakes. I'm not complaining, mind, but when I first thought of making this top games list, I intended to exclude remakes and ports. But really, most of the best PSP games of 2011 were either remakes or Minis (I may very well do a top PS Minis of 2011 list, too), so I ended up including them, and they kind of took over the list.

• Top PSP Games of 2011

So what do you think? What were your favorite games from last year?

Hey, look! There's something scheduled to come out this week! Yeah, you know it's been a long, dry spell when a lone PS Minis game inspires such glee. Not that I'm knocking PS Minis. Some of the best games I've played this year have been PS Minis. Really. If you haven't checked out OMG-Z yet, do it now.

Edit: It looks like a couple more Minis were added at the last minute!

PSP games scheduled to be released in North America this week:

• January 24: Bermuda Triangle (SNK Playmore) - PS Minis/SNK Arcade Classics
• January 24: Gold Medalist (SNK Playmore) - PS Minis/SNK Arcade Classics
• January 24: Stick Man Rescue (TikGames) - PS Minis

Release dates are collected from a number of sources, so there will occasionally be errors. Please note that some games may be released in some parts of the world and not others.

Remote Play is a feature that we first saw on the PSP; basically, it lets you access your PS3 remotely via a PSP or PS Vita. Hopefully, it'll catch on more with the PS Vita than it did with the PSP. Anyway, read on the find out how it works and what you can do with it.

What do you think? Is Remote Play something you'd use, or is it a pointless feature that sounds cool but isn't really useful? Leave a comment and let me know.

Sony loves proprietary formats so much they gave the PS Vita two. But at least they also equipped it with firmware capable of playing the more common media file formats (with one or two interesting exceptions).

• PS Vita Compatible Media and Memory Cards

This is a list of all the formats the PS Vita can play out of the box, plus the different kinds of removable storage media you can plug into one.
