Euro titles announced, including hot racers WipEout Pure, WRC and Ridge Racers.

After months of silence on the issue, Sony's European arm has revealed nine titles it is currently working on for Sony's new handheld, the PSP.

The newly announced games include several that launched this past weekend in Japan, but there are unannounced games too, some in series nearly forgotten in Europe.

The nine games cover a wide range of genres, and, while no firm release dates have been given, it's a given that several will appear in shops alongside the PSP when it launches.

The nine games Sony is bringing to the PSP in Europe are:
Ape Academy - two-player monkey-themed antics on one PSP
Everybody's Golf - golf game with simple yet addictive gameplay
Fired Up - vehicular combat with up to eight players
Football (working title) - footy with an emphasis on multiplayer
Formula One - all the authentic cars and tracks right in your palm
MediEvil - cowardly Sir Dan returns in spooky action game
Ridge Racer - latest instalment in the long-running driving series
WipeOut Pure - adrenaline-laced racing series' portable debut
WRC - wireless multiplayer and car damage in official rallies

All nine titles are pencilled in for launch in spring 2005, around the same time we can expect the PSP itself to arrive.
