So many good games! But I had to pick Crash Team Racing because the races were just amazingly fun

Fear effect…just because i’m “that” kinda guy…and also due to the excellent storytelling and presentation and fun cute cell shaded jugs…er…characters.

so many good ones….I was gonna say FF7 then MGS then Parasite Eve but then I saw Vagrant Story and had to vote that -just to be different
I still play it via Remote Play

Suikoden. Quite possibly the best game ever. Well, apart from Portal. And LittleBigPlanet when it comes out ^.^
Comment by Typhyn — Jun 27, 2008 @ 5:32 pm
I voted for Final Fantasy (I’ve played VII, VIII and IX like 500 hours altogether. ^^ But I also love Crash Bandicoot and CTR, and Metal Gear Solid.
Comment by JaKhris — Jun 27, 2008 @ 5:39 pm
Not the best timing, just after MGS4 has come out. But anyway, i was going to vote for Final Fantasy, but Spyro is still my favourite series ever.

METAL GEAR?!
Comment by Dave — Jun 27, 2008 @ 6:57 pm
I nearly went for G-Police or Colony Wars, but had to go for Rollcage in the end. So many fun memories. You could drive on the walls or the ceiling. And you could flip upside down and keep right on going!

I picked Parasite Eve. While I liked Final Fantasy and all, but parasite eve was probably one of the most solid games. Especially for its time.
Also, I’d like to give a shout out to Rival Schools. That’s a pretty fun game.

Is this poll going to help with getting PsOne games on PSN?
I voted for Hogs of War, but I must admit, the whole Crash Bandicoot series, Rollcage Stage 2, Driver, both Oddworld games and Worms Armageddon would be welcome to take up some of my 60GBs HD space.
Comment by Freker — Jun 27, 2008 @ 8:00 pm
Oddworld rocked still play it!
Had to put MGS in though. It just perfect on all levels!
SNAKE!!!!!!

My favourite is the one with the guy who does the things.
Comment by Ton Capone — Jun 27, 2008 @ 8:38 pm
This is obviously because Sony are inept at choosing which PS1 games should be emulated and resold on the PS3/PSP.
So what do you do when you don’t have a clue? You ask those who’ve been telling you all along that you’re releasing the wrong titles or there should be more of them and they should be cheaper!
Comment by Zed Zee — Jun 27, 2008 @ 9:53 pm
@ 9: Rollcage is good but I have the original and the PS2 to emulate it on, so I don’t need it resold to me again for another £4 and make more money for the very same company that is excluding Europe from getting the Dual Shock 3.
Comment by Zed Zee — Jun 27, 2008 @ 9:56 pm
I am really surprised that Legend of Dragoon was not listed as an option. I know that this supposed to be a more Euro-centric site so I have to ask…. was Legend of Dragoon released in Europe?
Comment by TheUsedVersion — Jun 27, 2008 @ 10:35 pm
Metal Gear Solid as I stated before.
Comment by D4rkW4rr10r — Jun 27, 2008 @ 11:58 pm
I just had a look at the US blog for the first time in a long.long time and it really makes you realise what a crap shack this excuse for a blog is.
They have accountability in abundance over on the US blog with fast,concise,informative and polite replies to questions (even questions which don’t allude to how fantastic Sony are).
This site needs a drastic change before it descends into a total farce.
When will SCEE empower the Threespeech personnel to answer questions and give information? They better start yesterday or SCEE is going to end up being shut down.

No Vib-Ribbon? Madness!
With Die Hard Trilogy a close second, I reckon.
Comment by Chrisloxley — Jun 28, 2008 @ 8:51 am
no Front Mission 3 *sulks*
Comment by mobiletone — Jun 28, 2008 @ 9:10 am
Where the hell is ghost in the shell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by E-ROLE — Jun 28, 2008 @ 12:10 pm
I tell you something, Soul Blade was a great game.
Comment by BENNE77 — Jun 28, 2008 @ 1:19 pm
@17
I still preferred the original Soul Edge title, used to love it when the guy who did the voice over said SOOOOOUUUUL EEEEEEDDGEEE!, when t got converted to soul blade _ I almost cried, it was awful!

Future Cop LAPD!!! (&soul reaver)
Comment by Sky Captain — Jun 28, 2008 @ 2:49 pm
I voted Final Fantasy, not because I want to buy it from the store but because I want the emulation FIXED for Final Fantasy 8. My copy of the game boots up and plays the PS1 logo but then just goes to a blank screen.
Comment by carl — Jun 28, 2008 @ 8:56 pm
so only 6 or 7 of the top 20 are on PSN. Anyone else here think SONY are missing a trick? again….
Comment by Tom F — Jun 29, 2008 @ 1:08 am
Parasite Eve…. amazing game
Comment by JoelR — Jun 29, 2008 @ 4:06 am
FF7 !!
Comment by Lulu — Jun 29, 2008 @ 8:26 am
I believe Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey was the most entertaining PS1 game I’ve played…
Comment by Keith — Jun 29, 2008 @ 4:18 pm
Crash Team Racing. I can’t know how many hours I wasted perfecting my times on the time trial mode, or evading each other’s missiles on battle mode, good times
Comment by Geoff — Jun 29, 2008 @ 8:41 pm

3 Guitar Freaks this game was amazing
iv still got it but my jap ps1 gone to heven so it just sits there
Comment by headcasephil — Jun 30, 2008 @ 8:22 am
Now on the basis that it’s a popularity thing and just maybe someone will be reading and remake or PSN release something, I voted for Hogs Of War.
Most of the others I like have or will be released for sure.
Comment by Wizardweb — Jun 30, 2008 @ 8:32 am
I chose Syndicate Wars cuz it was a good sci fi RTS, however, I would have chosen Front Mission 3 if it were on the list!!!
Comment by Monkey Rimmer — Jun 30, 2008 @ 8:37 am
Where’s pandemonium??? 2 sucked but the first one was cool at the time
Comment by mac — Jun 30, 2008 @ 3:36 pm
