Joystiq- Shawn McGrath, creator of PSN-exclusive tunnel shooter Dyad, exits his workplace – a house in the north side of Toronto – and lights up a cigarette. The rental home is lined with out-of-control weeds McGrath steps over to lean against his car, which sports novelty license plates with a leet variation of the word "hacker."
That was a high school decision, he admits.
Inside the house is a sanctuary for his art, a game McGrath has been working on for years. Dyad, which will be launched tomorrow, was the culmination of a dream McGrath once told himself was dead before reclaiming it with the help of friends; a group deeply rooted in the development of Toronto's burgeoning independent game scene.
Hardcore Gamer - This week’s Steam sale has gone live and it’s one of the best ones offered up in quite a while.

Hi everyone! We’ve got a serious Flash Sale for you over the next couple days, with more than 20 games available for just $0.99 each. The Flash Sale starts right now, so head over to PlayStation Store and snap up some awesome games to play this summer.
Yeah, 99 cents is nice, but I already own everything I want on that list. But at least they're having these flash sales more often now.
!!!
WTH!
I just bought twisted metal like... AGH. But .99 cents? I'm going to buy them all. Screw it. I am in the mood for it.
hmm I might have to pick up the 2 wild arms for vita even thou i still got the 2 ps discs
I would cream not just my pants, but the entire island of Manhattan if they were to have a 99c flash sale with both Vanguard Bandits and Final Fantasy 9 included in the list.
But oh well, Legend of Dragoon for me it is.
The only things that really need an update are the overly-literal translation and some voice acting in the cutscenes. But this was back when video game voice acting didn't really have any kind of 100% Gold Standard so it's somewhat excusable in that context.
Story and gameplay are great though. And challenging. One of the most underrated JRPGs out there. I'd buy it again if I didn't already own it both physically and on PSN. lol
DID get Wild Arms 1 and 2, Dino Crisis 2, Tekken 2 and the Syphon Filter trilogy though, so I'm set.
Just bought Dino Crisis 1-2...for 2bucks.
I agree...the tank controls are pretty painful now...and so are the graphics.
But at least its dinosaurs :/
There's some real a**holes on here. Snookies says "GREAT GAME, BUT THE CONTROLS ARE TERRIBLE" and gets 6 disagees w/ no agrees and Talocaca says "I AGREE...THE TANK CONTROLS ARE PRETTY PAINFUL NOW AND SO ARE THE GRAPHICS" and gets 2 agrees and no disagrees. Wow! This says a lot about the people that visit this site
@syntax error - agrees and disagrees don't pop your bubbles.
Oh come on I know its 99 cents I have them all already tho and those psn titles arent even worth the purchase as they are terrible games. Odd world is the only one I would buy. Disagrees are always with you people like people care about your sensitivity
You're freakin crazy! Yes the Oddworld game is cool. So is Syphon Filter, Legend of Dragoon, and Wild Arms. I think I need to spend some $, even if I already own these. I wish they'd make them PS4 too though
If they're terrible games why did you even bother purchasing them? Now you make yourself look foolish.
@revengence, muzikguy wow don't know how to read much? I didn't say the psone games suck dude wtf u sensitivite fanboys are crazy. They are amazing games which I said I have the psone games. I don't have nor bought the psn games like malicious that came out specifically for ps3. Played the demo hated it, saw reviews and knew why I hated it. Case closed.
Before complaining about disagrees and calling people sensitive fanboys, you should realize that what you said above was incorrect. They aren't all old PS1 and PS2 games.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I wasn't completely won over by Dyad from Right Square Bracket Left Square Bracket. Don't get me wrong — I totally appreciate that the developer took a risk and attempted to make something vastly different from a lot of what's out there. That said, it was hard for me to fully enjoy what Dyad had to offer because I simply didn't think it was deep or rewarding enough.
