Dear Antony,
Thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com.
The reason is that there are many different versions for games, e.g.. Japanese, Asian, US, etc. In general, Japanese and Asian games usually provide Japanese language only. US games usually provide English language.
For the second enquiry, you can just press on "US Version Games" to browse US games.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best regards,

In continuation to the reply below, If there is no region code for PSP games,
Why the description says "US"?
And also, on your site, you have a search filter based on version?

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Essentials,
I see the following comment -->
' (For Sony PSP(tm), US, No Region Protection) '.
Does this mean that this is 'region 1' UMD?
