There hasn’t been a PSone classic released in dog’s ages, but finally we have one, and it’s a biggie.
Legend of Dragoon was an RPG released in 1999 in Japan (2000 in NA) that was celebrated for it’s depth and great art style. This has been one of the most requested games out there for PSoneclassics, and really it’s strange that it’s taken so long for it to be released, considering it was developed in house at Sony, and distributed by them.

The Official PSVita of PSoneclassics
The Playstation Vita is something that I’ve been looking forward to since before it was announced. The Vita has a lot riding on it’s shoulders with the giant of portable gaming Nintendo still competing strong, and new comers to the portable gaming scene making It had a soft launch on February 15th and I managed to grab one at my local game vendor. I’ve had it for about a month, I’ve lived with it’s ups and downs and I feel like I can finally give an honest review, and maybe demystify some of the questions adopters might have. Continue on to read the full review!
Persona 4 is an RPG that I missed on the PS2, and I’m really happy Atlus software is releasing this on the Vita as an upgraded port to the original. I’m usually not an RPG guy, but Altus’ own title Persona 3 Portable made me give out my very first perfect 10 review. That game is still available on PSN and is playable on the Vita as well. These are the wackiest RPGs around, but they’re also some of the best. As soon as a Western release date is announced, I’m there.
While wasting my time not writing a PSVita review I managed to find out that Sony managed to mess up my PSOneClassics. It seems like this has something to do with the update Sony made to PSN (Now SEN).
Where the hell did the copy function go???
I just got my hot little hands on a Vita early yesterday, and I’m working though all the features to get you guys a decent review. Expect it up in the next few days!

P.S. Sorry for the Hiatus… It will be explained after the Non Disclosure Agreement is up…
I can't wait to touch it...
Honestly I’m getting excited for the launch of this thing. The PSVita seems to answer so many requests of Sony’s handheld division. It releases on February 22nd – less than a month away, and I’m trying to figure out what accessories I’ll grab with it.
Parasite Eve 2 Boxart
Once again you play as the protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, formerly at New York City cop, now working for the Feds after the events of Parasite Eve. This time you’re part of a task force that finds strange mutated monsters and shoots them. This takes you all over to different locations in the States, but it also gets rid of the open world and colourful setting of New York City as seen in the first game. Really, I haven’t played all the way through the title so I couldn’t tell you if the story is worth experiencing or not, but you’ll see my problem with it when you look at the next section.
Please emulate on the Vita!!!
Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City have been rated by the ESRB, games which should be pretty popular on the downloadable system. These two titles, the best selling games on the PS2, and most likely they’ll do pretty well on the PS2Classics side of the store. Despite the fact that I own the Grand Theft Auto series already, if I can get those games to play on a Vita for instance I’ll be quite excited.
Cool things going for PS2Classics, I better get going on that damn PS2Classics website!
So Cool
I was lucky enough to catch an exhibit at the Grand Palace in Paris entitled Game Story: A History of Video Games. It’s not often that you see video games celebrated in such a way, and I was lucky that my Paris layover was on the last day of the exhibit. This was a really cool experience, and it was probably one of the best layovers ever, because this exhibit was not only informative and thought provoking, but also interactive, with tons of different games systems new and old (especially old ones) that you could play for free after paying your entrance fee of 8 Euros. I took a few pictures, and instead of giving you a whole run down of game history like the exhibit does (which you probably already know) I’ve decided to just post the pictures I took. I hope gaming gets more exhibits like this!
