PS2 RPGs That Should Be on PSN

I just recently got my PS3 this past Christmas and was entirely new to PSN. When I learned that Sony was putting out old PS2 classics, I was completely ecstatic at the thought of playing my old favorites.

So, I figured why not give Sony a hand and give them a list of amazing RPGs that were on the PS2 so they can hurry up and get them in PSN as soon as possible.

ESA Supports PIPA/SOPA at Gamers’ Expense

It shouldn't be that much of a surprise to gamers that the ESA backs SOPA and has spent $190,000 lobbying PIPA. Seven months ago they stood with gamers against the California Video Game Law while at the same time paying lobbyist to gain support for PIPA.

Extremely low user scores have appeared on sites like Metacritic and GameSpot. Angry comments on forums and reviews can been seen all over the internet, and while this might be the loud minority, the difference between this release and MW2 is substantial.

Is EA Testing the Idea of Paying for Specific Game Modes?

Recently, EA announced that the story mode of Fight Night Champion will be available for download on the PSN for $5. The mode, titled Champion Mode, is the first story-based mode featured in a Fight Night title, and lets you play out the career of Andre Bishop. From there, you can purchase the rest of the modes individually, which range from $5-$10. Could this mean EA is testing the waters for future EA Sports titles to follow suit?
