psp geek talk - whats next?

so recently i just finished playing grand theft auto: liberty city stories game for the psp. i spent a good 4 to 5 months playing this game while riding the subway trains, riding in cars, waiting for people, etc. now the game is over, its time to shop around for the next title.

two options come to mind: Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max. syphon filter is sort of a 'metal gear', super spy, anti terrorist war game, and street fighter is well, your classic street fighter game.

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max

both games recieved good scores on ign, so im not sure which way to go. go for the newish esiponage game or the classic tried and true 2d fighter.

one game that i will definetly get (once it comes out) is the metal slug collection. it is a port of the original game that first appeared on the neo geo arcades in the mid 90's. it is a collection of all 5 different games stuffed into one UMD (Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5). i am definetly crossing my fingers that this baby comes out nice. this is one of my top 5 all time favorite games. you cant beat the classic 2d side scrolling shooters.
