Sony Bringing PS2 Games to PSN

Having ripped the ability from recent PlayStation 3 models to play PS2 games, Sony is now going to milk the classics cow a little further by introducing a new range of PS2 games on the PSN. First thought out of my cloudy Monday-morning mind - I bet these will play well on the PS Vita!

According to EuroGamer:
"a selection of "rare classic" PlayStation 2 titles made available to download: God Hand, GrimGrimoire, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, Odin Sphere and Ring of Red. Will Sony now bring PS2 games to PS3 games on a regular basis?"




Sure, the downloads of most PS2 games are pretty chunky, but hardcore gamers will be stacking on PS Vita memory and it will also bring a better shine to PlayStation Suite, whenever that finally happens, as I'm sure the Xperia Play and Sony Tablets could handle them too.
