IGN: While playing Malicious – the PlayStation Network exclusive action game from Japanese developer Alvion – my feelings ebbed and flowed. I didn’t like it at first, only to ease into the experience after a bit more play time. But by the time I reached the last boss, I gave up, confused and frustrated. This array of conflicting feelings sums up Malicious wonderfully, because it provides gamers with something seemingly likeable, but ultimately bogged down by sloppy gameplay and design that lacks any sort of rhyme, reason, or even basic explanation.
One of the best digital releases on the PS3 was the original Malicious developed by Alvion. In the years since, the game was also ported to the Vita. The good news is that it is now coming to the PS4.
Great music in the firrst game too.
I should have invested the time to learn how to play it properly.

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.
