The <a href="http://esrb.com">ESRB</a> has proven to be the unacknowledged PR firm for the announcement of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/ps1">Sony's PSOne Classics</a> -- today, the ratings board <a href="http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-6894-SF-Console-Game-Examiner~y2009m9d1-Oddworld-and-others-becoming-PSOne-Classics">released its biggest onslaught</a> of upcoming PSN titles to date, including such gems as:<br />
<ul>
    <li><em>Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain</em></li>
    <li><em>Cool Boarders 3</em></li>
    <li><em>International Track &amp; Field</em></li>
    <li><em>Oddworld: Abe's Exodus</em></li>
    <li><em>Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee</em></li>
    <li><em>Pandemonium!</em></li>
    <li><em>Syphon Filter 2</em></li>
    <li><em>Um Jammer Lammy</em></li>
</ul>
Some of these ratings are new -- however, <a href="http://playstation.joystiq.com/2008/02/28/four-new-psn-games-for-japan/"><em>Um Jammer Lammy</em></a> has already been released in Japan, and <em>Blood Omen</em> and <em>Pandemonium!</em> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/20/pandemonium-and-blood-omen-rated-by-esrb/">were actually given ratings</a> last March before mysteriously disappearing from the ESRB site. Hopefully, their resurfacing is indicative of their swift arrival -- we're jonesing for some old fashioned, Silicon Knights-branded Vampiolence.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=222314?cid=OTC-RSS&amp;attr=CVG-General-RSS">CVG</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/01/esrb-rates-oddworld-blood-omen-and-others-for-psn/">ESRB rates Oddworld, Blood Omen and others for PSN</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:00:00 EST.

When? Who knows. Could be tomorrow, could be never -- (hint: It's not tomorrow). As for the games themselves, we're totally stoked. <em>Pandemonium! </em>was an awesome game in its day, but <em>Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain</em> was even better. We at PS3 Fanboy are <em>huge</em> fans of the <em>Legacy of Kain</em> series and have very fond memories of <em>Blood Omen</em>.<br /></div>
<br />Hopefully these games will grace the PSN Store soon, because America needs some more decent PS1 titles. People who missed out on <em>Blood Omen</em> should be required to download it. While it may not be the greatest entry of the <em>Kain</em> series (it came before Amy Hennig, of<em> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Uncharted/">Uncharted</a></em> fame, came on board and crafted the wonderful <em>Soul Reaver</em> storyline) it's still a narrative masterwork. We're looking forward to restoring the Pillars of Nosgoth to their former glory again sometime in, hopefully, the near future.
