:(( i really wanted lumines

ps1 games? am i dreaming? good going sony! now...mgs and ff7-9 plz! kthxbai

Is that "What is Love" the song by Howard Jones? Because it'd be hilarious if Karaoke Revolution managed to "win" a week for downloadable songs.

Though I can't be certain, I would lean more toward it being the haddaway version, ala Nite@the Roxbury.

Picked up Castlevania, have to support the ps1 releases when we get good ones. I haven't played it before, hope it's decent, Love to see Parasite Eve 1 and 2 show up to celebrate the release of the new psp game, eventually.

It was rated pretty high by IGN when in came out in 2001, as long as you like classic 'Vania gameplay you should be fine.

is penny arcade worth $15 an episode ? seems kinda pricey.

It does seem abit pricey to me.

Nice job on the PS1 games, Sony! Now we need the other rare PSone gems on the Japanese store. Namely: Alundra, Brave Fencer Musashi, and especially Xenogears.

Oh, and Suikoden 1. Since the ESRB rated it for PS3 and PSP months and months ago. PLEASE, Mr. Scrooge! It's Christmas!

I agree! Don't forget Einhander too.. I'd love to see all the PS1 Square games..

now sony, you can treat us in the uk for once and give us some demos and stop leaving us out of the good stuff!!

i kinda have an urge to get crash commando but there is no demo this week. i got an email that said the demo is coming soon along with the savage moon demo. i'll try an wait it out

Lumines, Einhander, and R-Type Delta. Naow.

an mgo demo.....

Downloaded it. Downloading the update now. I haven't liked a Metal Gear since the first Solid on PS1. Actually, if you could VR Missions, or the GBC game, then I liked those too. Metal Gear for NES was the bomb. I just didn't like MGS 2 or 3, and the demo for 4 didn't persuade a purchase either. But somehow, I think the engine might make a good multiplayer game... so here it goes.

Yeah if this is just the online demo, don't judge the whole game based on it. MGO kinda sucks. It's fun, but not for a long time. Maybe that's just because I like FPS's, but the single player campaign is *amazing*, so if you don't like the demo, try the game somewhere before you decide to not buy.

Rock n Roll Babe theme costs your dignity LMAO

Have to agree with you there. Plus, the "babe" is a dog. I like the "Azmodeus Dark Angels" one, though. I wouldn't normally justify paying for a theme, though; I only did because I had just a tiny bit left on a PSN card and the art is pretty decent. Much better than the faux-anime crap like the "Ninja Babes" and "Elf Babes."

HAHA, "your dignity." i like that.

What the hell is up with RB2 ??? I bought it after playing GH 3 because of the great DLCs but they need to get their stuff into gear for Christmas..We want real music not some country stuff

Country music on Rock Band....I just threw up a little in my mouth.

MGO, ftw!

SuperSonic! Acrobatic! Rocket-Powered Battle Cars!

"start 1990's guitar commerical rifts*

The crazyiest most wackiest Battle Car you'll ever play!

"more 1990's guitar riffs*

Go head to head with your enemies in your Rocket Powered Battle Car!

"more guitars riffs"

You better be fast or you're not gonna Last!

"Car explodes with cheesy effects"

Kid#1: Oh Noooooooo!
Kid#2: Yeah!

SuperSonic! Acrobatic! Rocket-Powered Battle Cars!

*batteries sold separately*

Crash Commando ftw.

Reminds me of Soldat.

Had to give you a +1, I came here just to comment on the game

It's sooo much fun. I've been playing it for the past like 3 hours. Soooooooo worth the ten bucks. It fills that hole where I wish the incredible multiplayer from Bionic Commando Rearmed was online, not just local. But seriously, Play BC:R's multiplayer. The game is a blast.

So is this. This game rules.

What is it about? I was looking for some info on it, but I might as well just post. Is it an FPS or something else?

Lmao, MGO...

Used to be so good, too.

Any idea when "Flock!" is going to PSN? It says Holiday '08 on Qore, but other sites says January...

Rayman 2! Man, that's a fun game! Luved it on the Dreamcast.

"Rock And Roll Babe theme (your dignity)'

ROFL!

Metal Gear FF8 Iwould buy before thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone's interested, some of the Rock Revolution tracks are actually free. Yeah, didn't think so.

Whoa tracks for Rock Revolution...I thought they had abondoned this!

I have been bought this game for Christmas...is it really that bad?

@ yamerias

I don't know for sure, but the reviews are ALL really low, so I would guess so. Look at Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic if you want an overview.

Personally, what I've seen of it looks horrible.

Plus, last I heard only 3000 people had bought it.

Thanks for the update, I am downloading PSN goodies as we speak! We need more ps1 titles, tons more to have a better wider selection; FF7. FF8, MGS,etc.

i bought 6 ps1 games this week! i hope sony gets the message! also, just played crash commandos 3 hours straight. holy shit! that game is fun! imagine if you took a multiplayer fps and turned it into a side scrolling action game like contra. yeah. its great!
