Raiden III would be cool. I never bought it because I didn't want a physical disc for this arcade type game beleive it or not. I feel many arcade type games or emulation collections should be downloadable. Its a pain in the ass to pop in a CD of Xevious only to play for a few minutes or a round and then have to pop the CD back out to play whatever else you were playing.

Downloads are becoming better and better for me. Not too happy about it (being an old schooler) but damn is it convenient. I actually play MORE often than I used to because of that fact.

Continuing the stream of releases:
  • Full Spectrum Warrior
  • Stuntman: Ignition
Gonna pass on these, but it's good to see they're making an effort to have a steady stream of content. Oh, also Chrono Chross on PSOne classics .. but I already have the original.

Odd choice in Stuntman Ignition, considering that it was released on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 at the time.

Is there a reason why someone would want to play the PS2 version when there is a PS3 version available? Different games that just share the same name and concept, perhaps? Was a fairly regular occurance during the early days of this generation, such as with some of the Tom Clancy games.

If the PS3 version is the same thing, it seems idiotic not to just make that digitally available instead and invest their resources into a game that isn't already available.

Edit - Looks like they're the same thing, but the PS2 version had local multiplayer while the PS3 version just had online. So I guess if that is an interest to anyone, this is worth a download.

God Hand is under-rated in my opinion. Its a gem of a game thats a true old school Streets of Rage type brawler.

I so dearly wish it would be remade or a sequel released on modern systems:
