While Xbox 360 and Wii owners are spoilt for choice when it comes to their respective online game services, with XBLA now housing a huge catalogue with a number of true gems, and Nintendo's Virtual Console steadily building an archive of retro classics, Sony's PlayStation Store has been slower to build up momentum. A glance around the store still reveals a relative paucity of quality titles – whether new or retro, but the good news is that there are a number of titles well worth your time on the service already, and there are plenty more on the way.
Game preservationists Forest of Illusion have released the source code for the original Wipeout PS1 online, as well as its Windows port.
Featuring historical context and an interview with the designer, we take a look at the controversial WipEout poster that caused uproar in the UK press.
Amazing poster and one of the best racing franchises in the games industry - Period
No game give you the speed and rush like WipEout and the music is a key component to the game
Must make lots more WipEout's
mourne for that late 90s and 00s swag. All the cool stuff never known by dumb child me, curses!
With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.
I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.
Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.
My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
PlayStation Network Games? I thought Sony gave up on that Idea... how many games do they get a month? when was the last time they got one? the xbox 360 gets 4 a month... and they are already on the tripple diggits... Developers obviously aren't going crazy over making games for the Playstation network. I wonder how many downloads these games sell?
Wii is a joke, and ppl actually pay for those retro games. I am amazed. When little big planet come out, 2D market will be redefined (which is good, because I love 2Ds, Mega man and such). The wii 2D games will most likily appear in the forms of Little big planet.
The X360 has some good online DLC, but on a ounce for ounce PSN is far more classier. It's really like going into a honda Dealer and seeing a bunch of Civic and accord as compare to going into a BMW dealer seeing the crappiest car is a 325i (everyday shooter) and upward 7 series (Warhawk) if you will.. Less games? yes..quality wise. there is some pretty good stuff on PSN right now. More innovation less of the "Same stuff" sorry Wii.
