Meh, nothing there that interests me...Maximo was aright I suppose.

I'd reccommend God Hand to everyone. If you like a challenge and like game that make you laugh its well worth £8 just a shame it's just a straight port.

Maximo is one of my favourite PS2 games. For me, it's one of the better 3D imaginings of a classic 2D series (Ghost 'n Goblins). I'd love to see Ghouls 'n Ghosts released on XBLA/PSN/Steam. How about it Capcom? Maybe a double pack with Strider like you did with Final Fight/Magic Sword? Go on. Games are too easy these days.

These PS2 games don't interest me other than SSX on tour but that wasn't that great. Some PS2 games that I want are...
GTA San Andreas
GTA Vice City
GTA liberty city stories
Smackdown Here Comes The Pain
Bully
Manhunt 1
The warriors

why O' why don't we get Stuntman ignition like the US does, thats the only ever reason for me to purchase a ported PS2 game, i have hopes for it aww...

Where is Odin Sphere?
Ali_ on 15 Feb '12 said:
Erm, that's a PS3 game...
I remember Road Trip Adventure. Bizarre game, but great fun. However, it was £7.99 when it was new!!!
Thane64 on 15 Feb '12 said:
Although these look ok, I want a port of Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2
Somone make it happen or I will curl up into a ball and cry like a 5 year old who has just been denied the latest Ben 10 action figure!
dicky1993 on 15 Feb '12 said:
what, explain please, you guys can't play ps2 games on a ps3?
KesMonkey on 15 Feb '12 said:
Stuntman Ignition was also released on the PS2. Not sure why anyone would want it over the PS3 version though.
S-Smith on 15 Feb '12 said:
i wish they started this years ago not sure why it has taken this long for? oh well good 1st week of new ps2 games anyway
WHERESMYMONKEY on 15 Feb '12 said:
If you've got a PSP there's a really good 2 1/2d remake for it; Ultimate Ghosts N' Goblins.
dwhlufc on 15 Feb '12 said:
Nope because most peoples original launch model has died most likely.
£8 for games I can get off eBay for £2-£4,no thanks Sony.

Always fancied God hand , Maximo titles were excellent, highly underated.
El Mag on 15 Feb '12 said:
They're adding another PS1 game today as well. It's Fear Effect 2, a good game with lesbians in....so it's a double win.
Ali_ on 15 Feb '12 said:
The early PS3s could play PS2 games. Not all, but most. To cut costs and RRP, however, Sony removed what was, effectively, the PS2 CPU from subsequent PS3s so the backwards compatibility disappeared. Though, the fact that these games effectively run under emulation makes you wonder why they didn't just sell an emulator on PSN instead. Conspiracy theorists, form an orderly queue here....
Barca Azul on 15 Feb '12 said:
€10, is it a joke?
"Classics" as well!
Plus, how is it possible to have these digital, but not from a PS2 disc? PS3 reads DVD's!
Barca Azul on 15 Feb '12 said:
I agree, those that already own can play, those that dont could buy digital. Same with PSP/Vita too. Why should I pay again to play a game, just to save hassle of setting up/using the other machine? Its also a way to keep people loyal and not frustrate customers. Have them for purchase for those who missed out first time,its fine in my books.

I'm still waiting for Chrono Trigger and Alundra.
martinawatson on 15 Feb '12 said:
Not only should this be HD upped , surely there should be a live action film based on this, perhaps starring Lucy Pinder and ice t's wife coco or failing that Julie Peasgood and Vanessa Feltz, yum yum
CDS on 15 Feb '12 said:
I so want these HD remade. The first was great, but the second didn't have good enough graphics compared to the first. The new modes made up for that though.
However, a port of these titles would be good, just so long as my PS3 doesn't end up like PS2. Dead because of constant playing on these.

You need help.
WiffleBalls on 15 Feb '12 said:
So are these vita compatable?
flash501 on 15 Feb '12 said:
Just had a gander at the title's available on the store. "Classics" indeed!
Richyrich316 on 15 Feb '12 said:
And this is why Sony removed backwards comp not just to trim the manufacturing costs but so that at some later point they can squeeze you for more money for games that you may have already purchased but cannot play on ps3.
Obviously they have an emulator that works but to just let you pay for that & buy the PS2 games you would like to play will not make as much cash as selling you the games again.

wow they do love their customers
