PS2 Classics finally come to EU (out this week!)

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
EU gets:
- Maximo
- Maximo vs. Army of Zin
- God Hand

Priced at €9.99/£7.99.

Or is it SEN yet? Don’t know, don’t care, it hardly matters what it’s called because the awesomely incredible God Hand and the sublimely brilliant Maximo (and Maximo Vs Army Of Zin) will be available to download as of tomorrow. God Hand has a massive cult following, probably to massive to call it a cult really, and is possibly the best action brawler in the world, ever. I don’t think it will ever be surpassed in the sheer unadulterated slap you in the chops and kick you into space fun.

And also available tomorrow are the two Maximo games which are 3D takes on Ghosts ‘n Goblins (rather than 2D side scrolling). Both Maximo and Maximo Vs Army of Zin are challenging games filled with power ups, swords and boxer shorts and are defintiely worth picking up as they are classic PS2 game.

All three games will be priced at €9.99/£7.99 each which is something of a bargain if we do say so ourselves.

10€?

What was the US price?

Anyway too late Sony, I went to USA, bought an american PS3 and downloaded God Hand from there. Then came back home.
 
Where is Ring of Red? That was the one I was most interested in.

How is the performance of God Hand? I know it looks amazing in emulators.
 
I have the impression he is a bit biased: "The sublime Maximo. The awesome God Hand. And oh yeah, we also got Maximo vs Army of Zin."
 
Don't PAL PS2 games run at 50 Hz? Unless these games had an option for playing at 60 Hz?

Only the Capcom games from 2001 (i.e. Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Capcom vs SNK 2, Street Fighter EX 3) lack a 60Hz mode. Maximo was the first game to include the option to play at 60Hz.
 
Maximo was one of my highlights of the PS2 era, might have to pick it up for sentimental reasons this afternoon.
 
About damn time. I got physical copies for both Maximos but I'm shamefully lacking God Hand. Time to remedy that.

Any recommendations from that list? Besides God Hand, of course, since I know to already get that one.

Always looking to fill holes in my PS2 library, of which there are many.

Maximo and maybe Swords of Destiny.

Other than that, avoid most of that list.
 
I remember Gungrave Overdose as being kinda good. My memory could be playing tricks on me though.
 
SCEE will propably forget to put them up.

I hope someone buys Disney Princess Enchanted Journey.
 
I wonder if Square Enix will ever put some games up? Feels like all of this is coming very late in the game. Good to see an avalanche of games coming. Will pick up God Hand and Sword of Destiny.
