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."

I picked it up yesterday and it's a pretty fun rpg as of right now :)
Baroque looks interesting. Im broke after importing a UK GT5P though. It might not even reach me before its out in the US and I do feel foolish now. Impulse clicking 8( curse you ebay.
Nintendo Power gave Baroque a 31 according to Metacritic. Not that I would read Nintendo Power... <shudder>
I was interested it until I watched a few videos for it. It looks horrible in motion
