Video Game Media (VGM) - Alex Spiro, 12/16/07:
The Playstation team from SCEA hosted their annual event this year to showcase some hot titles for the PS3, PS2, and PSP coming out over the next few months and VGM were delighted to attend. The venue was the swanky and upscale Le Parker Meridian hotel located in midtown Manhattan on 57th street and the Diplomatic Suite where the event took place was huge, with two doors leading to numerous interconnected rooms. Alex was informed beforehand about the games that would be displayed and he was especially looking forward to seeing and getting some hands-on time with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Hot Shots Golf 5, Echochrome, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and Patapon. His hosts generously allowed him to videotape (and photograph) most of the content being presented, which he will share on the site.

The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.
I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.
But here’s how I rank them
5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.
1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1
Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.
I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.
However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.
I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.
I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.

We can expect to see games from the original PlayStation, PS2, and PSP generations plus cloud streaming of PS3 games."
Should change that headline to: "Old School Titles We Definitely Aren't Going to Get In the New PS Plus Subscription"
Rising Zan because Pushman is the best voice acted boss in the history of gaming.
Konami RPGs---Ring of Red, Azure Dreams and Suikoden.
Thousand Arms, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Persona 1, both Persona 2 and Persona 3 from Atlus.
Any of those would make me happy. Ogre Battle and Azure Dreams the happiest.
PlayStation community before:
We don’t buy new consoles to play old games.
PlayStation community now:
Here’s a list of old games we wanna play now that we might be able to on our new consoles
I dont think when ps3 games like MGS4 hits the scene anyone would be buying any other console.
I expect x360 to contest SONY atleast in NA but wii which is a FAD will be lost in 2008
games like DMC4 on ps3 /x360 will mark the fall of a joke console like Wii
Couldn't have said it better myself
Yawnnn.... just checked out the article.
I guess this is why the PS3 is selling so horrid, not much good games to look forward to. Even with the many price decreases, the PS3 continues to collect dust on the store selves.
ps3+08=sonys year
more PS3 titles that will bomb. 2008 will be the year when 3rd party devs and publishers begin to abandon the PS3 for the Xbox 360 and Wii.
It's inevitable
