PSX Extreme writes: "Atlus is well known for producing amazingly deep role-playing experiences, but they typically stick to the traditional mold for most of their projects. On the flip side of that coin, we typically applaud the effort when a developer decides to take a risk and embrace a slightly different style, which is what Atlus did with Baroque. Granted, it was developed by Sting, but any RPG with Atlus' name on it should be relatively predictable by now, which is why we were happy to see something fresh and new. Well, we were happy to see it for about ten minutes, until we realized this wasn't a risk worth taking, and most fans of the veteran role-playing publisher won't be satisfied with the result. Baroque is a game hampered by a decided lack of direction, a mostly lame-duck story, iffy controls, and technicals that are questionable at best. In short, this really isn't what we've come to expect from an Atlus-published game, and while that could've been a positive, it ends up being a resounding negative."

Because the PlayStation 2’s library is just so massive, this list isn’t every classic niche game, of course!"
You console gamers are hypocrites. Who cares about resolution? It's all about the gameplay, amrite.
Bow down before the master race.
Why not just allow us to insert PS2 discs Sony? You have a working emulator in the firmware just as Xbox One yet they allow disc. Upscaling.....what a cash grab.
I desperately want all of the Tony Hawk, Burnout and SSX games. I would also love Destroy All Humans 1 & 2, The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man 2, Ultimate Spider-Man, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, Mashed: Fully Loaded and Downhill: Domination!!!
I hope Sony is actually able to do this kind of stuff, because if not, I'm honestly going to be very disappointed. And if they can't really tackle niche games that a lot of people loved, then what's the point? I was very happy they put up Bully and Manhunt last week though. Lets hope they can keep it going!
Also, I live in Ireland and they really need a category with all of the PS2 games in it. It's a bit messy.

And this week we're going to list ten games that demonstrate why any RPG fan owes it to themselves to pick up one."
