Good Old Games is making it much easier - at least on your wallet - to play catch-up by slashing the price on 36 Ubisoft games.

There are many highlights in this Ubisoft sale, including several games for $3.99 a pop: Far Cry, Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Warrior Within, The Two Thrones, and Beyond Good & Evil included. Rayman and its two sequels are also on sale for $2.39 each.

If you're not into the whole piecemeal thing, you can snag all 36 discounted games for $134.04, a total savings of $201.60.

The DRM-averse online retailer has added the PC version of Rayman 2 to its store, charging the customary $5.99. That's a steal for one of the greats of the 3D platforming genre, especially since GOG throws in a 91-track soundtrack download with the game.

Rayman Forever, a version of the first 2D Rayman game with assorted extras, is also available on GOG.

Those of you who have experienced the joy of Rayman 2 can probably stop reading now. The rest of you will be glad to hear that the 3DS version will feature "major updates" to certain gameplay elements, including "accessibility, progression and learning curve."

Frankly, we're just glad to have a new excuse to collect Lums again.

Let's get our obligatory naysaying out of the way, so it won't sour the rest of the post: "But, it doesn't have buttons! How are we supposed to make well-timed jumps while avoiding sharp, pointy obstacles without buttons?" We can't answer that for you, dear reader. You have to answer that for yourself.

The good news is that the game looks surprisingly faithful to its original iteration. You can watch a trailer for the title, which is due out March 1 on the App Store, after the jump.

ESRB rates more PS1 downloadables]]>http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/02/shock-esrb-rates-more-ps1-downloadables/http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/02/shock-esrb-rates-more-ps1-downloadables/http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/02/shock-esrb-rates-more-ps1-downloadables/#commentsFiled under:


Maybe Sony hasn't completely given up on releasing PS1 games for download onto PS3/PSP. The sharp eyes of David B. discovered two new games added to the ESRB database: Rayman 2 and Medal of Honor. While we're pretty certain the latter hasn't aged too well, we're more than glad at a chance to play Rayman 2 again.

Of course, we have to remember -- just because the ESRB has rated a game doesn't mean it'll release any time soon.
