PEGI rates Fear Effect series, Fighting Force 2 for PS3
So, PEGI, the European game ratings board, has rated Fighting Force 1, Fighting Force 2, Fear Effect and Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix for PS3. The most likely explanation, of course, is that the titles are all headed to PSN as PSone Classics, at least in Europe (the original Fighting Force is already available in North America). Apart from the "controversial" lesbian overtones in Fear Effect 2, perhaps the most interesting note about the titles is that the Fighting Force series was developed by Core Design, the same studio that brought us Tomb Raider. Yes, that Tomb Raider. Also noteworthy, Fighting Force was originally intended to be Streets of Rage 4 for the Sega Saturn. Also also noteworthy, the game kind of sucks.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, more PSone Classics rated by the ESRB
The ESRB has exposed a new round of PSone Classics for PS3 and PSP on its ratings site, including Naughty Dog creative director -- and Uncharted creator -- Amy Hennig's 32-bit opus, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Other titles recently rated for re-release via PlayStation network include Bomberman Party Edition, Fighting Force, Dirt Jockey and International Track & Field.After last week's deluge of classic PlayStation games gone downloadable on PSN, we were befuddled by the utter lack of any new additions with yesterday's update. We could very likely be looking at the next round in the list -- the only question is when Sony will push them out the digital distribution door.[Thanks, Dylan!]
