Andriasang: Sony issued notice today of somewhat of a feat for the domestic Game Archives service. The retro download service has, as of today, topped the 600 title mark in domestic releases.
Micheal Crisman writes, "Waking up from cryosleep is never fun, but it’s even less enjoyable when you’re dealing with amnesia and hypothermia. This is the situation our protagonist finds himself facing at the beginning of OverBlood, a 3-D Sci-Fi Adventure (just like it says on the package). You know you’re in for a rough stretch when the first puzzle the game presents you with is getting dressed. Yet despite a fairly universal lambasting in the gaming press of the day, there’s something quirky and charming about OverBlood. It’s trying so very hard to be unique and interesting, and there’s something strangely endearing about the characters. It’s hardly the best PS1 game ever made, and it has more than its share of faults, but to dismiss developer Riverhillsoft’s sophomore outing on the PlayStation as just another Resident Evil wannabe is a mistake."
Ken McKown writes: The From A to Z series lets our editors go back and take a look at games from past generations that are classics, overlooked gems, or just titles they remember fondly. The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
Our first series will focus on Sony’s first entry into the console business, the PlayStation.
Let’s continue with the letter “O”.
These terrific exercises in gaming terror inspired, triggered or laid the groundwork for many better-known horror titles, but very rarely receive any recognition themselves. Criminally overlooked yet remarkably innovative, FMV reveals the top ten horror games you’ve (probably) never heard of…
Ive completed all the silent hills resident evils and the 2 dead space games and ive just bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R and man does that game freak me out its just so disturbing,the fact that its based on a real place where people died and generations have been born deformed and are suffering till this day just makes it a realy freaky game in my opinion.
An the horrible mutated gas mask guys omg so horrible.
Thats a crap load of games I haven't played.
Now if only we could see those numbers in the states.
Too bad they don't have more PS3 games -- Sly Cooper Collection, for one. I'd love to buy Civ Rev on the network, I'd probably play it more often if it was a DL game actually. I'd sell my physical copy in a second.
And how about more PSP games that people want?
Where did you learn English, son?
If you can't write formally, don't.
Keep them coming. PSN will keep on growing. Now get some PS2 games on there...
