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!

PSoneclassic or PSMini? Who knows!

Myst coming to yet another platform type!

Myst has already been released as a PSP game, but Myst seems like it’s the game that has no bounds and is going to be re-released as a PSOne classic or a PSmini coming soon. Myst is the puzzle game that really blew people away in the early 90s with its at the time revolutionary graphics. I haven’t played the game since I was a kid, so a small asking price of $5.99 might be just small enough to gain my interest. (The PSP version is currently at $19.99 on the NA store, way too steep in my opinion). Once again we never know when these games will be released but sometime soon would be nice.

What about the sequels?

Riven: The Sequel to Myst was also released on the PSOne back in the day, perhaps some day we’ll get to see that title make it’s way to PSN, it too was wildly successful and then led the way to Myst III: Exile to be released for the PS2 and PC in 2001. It is impressive that a game from 1993 is still ported to new platforms over and over again. If you remember the original Myst was done with all pre-rendered graphics, so it should take a mammoth amount of data on your PSP Memory stick if you chose to indulge.

This was mind-blowing back when I was 8.

Myst coming to PSN sometime soon!

Killzone 1 for your PS3!

If you’re like  me and have only joined the Playstation generation with the PS3 and the PSP, you’ll be wondering what the original Killzone was like considering their two sequels have played such a big role in Sony’s First party line up the last few years. Luckily with the PS2 Classics program on PSN you’ll be able to grab it for only $9.99 come Jan 24th. GameInformer managed to break the story and Sony confirmed it! So for those looking for a little more Killzone action for cheap, you’re in luck!

Killzone for the Vita?

The real question that I’m sure everyone is asking is when will the PSVita receive a PS2 Emulator for these titles? Sony has said they’re working on getting the original PSone emulator working on the device (but that it won’t be ready for launch). Here’s hoping there are coders locked behind very big doors at Sony Japan working on this very problem.

Check out Killzone as a PS2Classic on Jan 24th for $9.99.

For all you Final Fantasy addicts out there it seems like some more prayers have been answered, with Final Fantasy Origins coming to PSN for $9.99. The original games, released on the NES were actually last ditch efforts by Square to stave off bankruptcy, hence the name “Final Fantasy”. Of course it became the huge hit we all know and sequel after sequel was released. I’ve never played the first Final Fantasy games, but if you’re looking to see what started the mammoth game series, here’s your chance.

Grab Final Fantasy Origins for $9.99 Tuesday.

Last PSoneClassic for the year!

Klonoa Finally released!

Way back when we broke that Klonoa would be coming to PSN at some point, that was July 18th, and yesterday December 27th it was finally released. If you were waiting out for this one and you have any money left after Christmas it’s now up on the store for $5.99. Klonoa is a side scroller but still with 3D graphics, and a lot of people were really excited about when the ESRB rating leaked check it out if you have the time!

Tak 2 for you! (Tuesday)

Two games this week drop as Playstation classics

We’ve known that Darkstalkers has been coming for a while, but Tak 2 : The staff of dreams is a PS2 game that hadn’t been hinted to yet. Perhaps we’ll start getting more surprises with PS2 classics being incognito until their release like PSone classics were.

What’s Tak 2?

Tak 2 was released in 2004 for PS2, and was a charming little platformer in the vain of Donkey Kong (as you can use animals to help you traverse obstacles). This game was released for everything at the time and received decent reviews (it’s sitting at a 73.25% rating on Gamerankings.com). This looks like a decent little platformer for kids as it looks really colourful.

Sly Cooper Classics coming as well

For fans of the Sly Cooper series, the HD re-released are being split apart and sold this week as well on the Playstation Network, so if you’re looking for platforming in HD, Sly should do the job, and look great at the same time, the third game in that series (for the re-releases) also has 3D support. So if you’re a rich person with a 3D tv, you can get some REAL 3D platforming going.

She's not a bad reason to buy the game either.

Seems like wait between ESRB and Release is getting shorter!

We published not too long ago that the ESRB rated Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors for PSN as a PSOneclassic and now we’ve gotten word from Capcom that the game should be out later this month! Good news for those looking to itch that fighter itch for some pocket change. There are only two weeks left in the month, so expect this on the 22nd or the 29th!

Just a few days ago the ESRB leaked that Vanguard Bandits, a Japanese Mech game would be coming to PSN soon, luckily it was incredibly soon seeing as it’s now coming this week. Vanguard Bandits is a Strategy RPG, so this should scratch your strategy itch if you’re waiting for Valkyria Chronicles 3 to be released. It seems like people are looking forward to this one after fond memories of when it was originally released, so it’s great to see that they’ll get their chance to grab this game again.

Expect this one to cost 5.99.

Come to North America soon!

Fear Effect 1 and 2 coming to European PSN.

News this week out of PEGI (the European version of the ESRB) says that Fear Effect 1 and 2, the quirky, cell shaded cult classics, are coming to PSN in that territory. The Fear Effect games were renowned for their great style and even their sex appeal, and they’re great additions to the Playstation Network. Although the games were action games, and not that long, they still came on four discs originally, so you might be looking at a 2 gigabyte file for these downloads.

There’s no word on whether these games will make their way to NA at anytime soon, but usually, especially with games as famous as these, release in North America is not far behind.

For all you European readers you’re lucky! Fear Effect should make it’ s way there soon.

I guess that's the Pope's Giant Warrior Mech???

This game was originally released on the Playstation one all the way back in 2000, but it never made it’s way to Europe. It’s described as a Japanese Tactical RPG with mech suits. Seems pretty standard fare, if you live in the future and hand around giant mechs that is. This game kind of comes out of left field considering it’s barely known in the west, and with a gamesranking rating of %68 it’s a strange game to get on the service. Instead of something like Tekken 3 for instance. Vanguard Bandits was developed by Human Entertainment of Japan and then handed over to Working Designs for the NA version, if you remember Working Designs are the same people who worked on localizing games like Arc The Lad, and Alundra.

Oh well, for those who have been waiting for this game to come to the service, Vanguard Bandits should be coming at some point soon.
