The PS One classics series is to be put simpy, one of the best, if not the best part of PSN. And while we've had some great titles released as ps1 classics in the past (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and some Castlevania titles) there is so much more that Sony can bring up from their first console to release over the PlayStation Network, many of which will be surefire sellers that I and plenty of other gamers will gobble up like flapjacks.
The Japanese PSN store already has over twice the titles that of the North American (which already has more than the European) versions. I believe that several of these (Bushido Blade for sure) have already been released in Japan as PSone classics.
1. Bushido Blade and it's sequel.
Bushido Blade is one of the most highly regarded, strategic fighting games released onto the original Playstation. Rather than being a clone of many button mashing titles of that genre during the time period, this game featured a system in which striking a certain area of an opponent's body created a chance of that limb of being put out of use. Eight weapons were avaliable to choose from, each being put into the game with careful emphasis on the speed, weight, and striking reach. These factors (LightWeight Studios even left out any sort of a health bar) helped to create one of the most strategic and rewarding fighting games of all time!
2. Spider-Man
A very fun game released well before the creation of the Spider Man movies were even common knowledge to most people. Much better than any of the move tie-ins, too. Despite lacking in the graphical technicality of other super hero games, it was fun to websling in (linear) New York and battle the likes of Venom, Carnage, and Mysterio.
3. Gran Turismo
The series is going strong still even after the release of the original back in 1997. GT5 is one of the games I am looking forward to the most this year, in my opinion no other racing game on any Sony system has ever come close. Even Forza can't answer to it! Sony should release this to show gamers the roots of where the series all began.
4. Vandal Hearts
A Vandal Hearts game was very recently released onto the PSN, but didn't quite garner what can be called "amazing" review scores from the critics. For a while it looked as if Vandal Hearts could compete with other big tactical rpg's as the pantheon of the genre, despite that not being the case this is not one to pass up on. Join Ash (not Ketchum) througha spectacularly crafted story of friendships and betrayal, war and hope. Vandal Hearts is not one for any TRPG fan to miss.
