DarkStalkers PSone Classic and Tak 2 PS2 classics dropping Tuesday

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.


Darkstalkers coming to PSN this Month – Capcom

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!

Travelling Day: PSoneclassic.com moving for two months!

Priorities in check.

Posting shouldn’t be affected THAT much.

I’m off to France for work for two months, I’ll be posting still but there’s a possibility that I’ll be a little bit slower to get to some news stories, and that my posts will be at strange French timing. Luckily my NA PSN account should still work when I’m in Europe, so I can still purchase/review new PSoneClassics coming to the network, sadly though PS3 games will fall through my fingers, as taking my fat PS3 with me would be a ludicrous thing to do. Here’s hoping that the Vita will play PS2classics via emulator eh? That means I can be a mobile PSone/PS2 reviewing machine! (If only!).

Vanguard Bandits coming Tuesday to PSoneclassics!

Mech Battles for everyone!

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.

UMD Passport System lets you convert your UMDs for a fee (In Japan).

Like this, but more spiky haired angst.

UMD Passport could get you to convert

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan released info on a new free app that Japanese PSN users can get on December 6th. This program outlines that you can take a UMD game and turn it into a digital copy for a fee, but oddly enough they aren’t set fees, and some range all the way up to the $30 mark, while others huddle around $1.00. There is also a set list of games that right now uses the service, (or will when it’s released) and there are no signs yet of the really desired games on this service, i.e. games like Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, and Crisis Core : Final Fantasy 7. Still, this is encouraging, and even though there is no news on whether or not the App will be coming to North America or Europe, we can bet we’ll hear more about it after it’s launch in Japan, and closer to the PSVita’s release date of February 22nd of next year.


Steam gets hacked, somehow people aren’t upset, Sony still licking it’s wounds

Steam Service gets hacked, but no one is at risk – Gabe Newell

Steam had it’s own hacker problem that was announced to it’s users yesterday. We had heard from Steam that their forums were hacked last week, but until yesterday we had no word from them that any other information compromised. Gabe Newell sent a message to all Steam users saying that he’s sorry for the hack, and that even though some information had been taken, there is no information or notification that anyone’s accounts are at risk, but it’s probably a good idea to change your passwords anyway. Forum accounts, a separate system had all their information taken though, so there is a mandatory password reset there, it’s all outlined in his message to the users.

PEGI (European Version of ESRB) Rates Fear Effect 1 and 2, and Fighing Force (already in NA)

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.


Vanguard Bandits Rated by the ESRB for PSoneClassics.

Vanguard Bandits, Anyone know this game?

Vanguard Bandits Boxart

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.


Two new PS2 classics coming Tuesday along with PSone classic Chrono Cross

This is getting regular!

Strange that only a month ago the first PS2 classics made their way to PSN, now it seems regularly there are more and more games making their way out for the new digital service, sadly though, this week more less known (But Fun!) titles seem to be making their debut along with Chrono Cross, which was announced earlier this week.

Looks decent for a 2005 game


Uncharted 3 Review

Worth the wait

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception

Uncharted 3 was released this week, and I’ve spent more than enough time playing through this title to give my opinion (I wanted to play through the online parts before writing this review so it took me a few days). But this game is great, and if you’re an Uncharted fan, undoubtedly you’ll get hours and hours of enjoyment out of this title.
