Sony's PSN elves have polished up another trio of PlayStation One games and tossed them up on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable stores, hoping we won't notice that there's still no Everyday Shooter.
Still, those games are Fade to Black, Theme Hospital and Motorhead, which have an interesting if chequered history between them. Fade to Black, of course, is Delphine's sequel to Flashback, in which the man from Flashback wakes up on a spaceship, while Theme Hospital is one of the post-buyout Bullfrog games (and a goodie, if you ask me - at least on the PC) and Motorhead is a Digital Illusions (yes, them) racing game set in the future.
As PSone games on PSN, they all cost GBP 3.49 and can be downloaded up to five times onto any mixture of your PS3 and PSP that you can dream up.
It has of course been a busy few months for PSone games on PSN, which is why we've been busily rounding them up for you in review form. Most recently we've looked at Hardcore 4x4, Kula World, Populous: The Beginning, N20 and Destruction Derby. Also there are Crash Team Racing, Syphon Filter 1 and 3, Everybody's Golf 2 and Cool Boarders, while older-still titles were Crash Bandicoot, Jumping Flash and WipEout.
Meanwhile, PS3 owners are also able to get their pads on that Devil May Cry 4 demo everyone downloaded with made-up US accounts last week, and also a demo of MX vs. ATV: Untamed from THQ. One at a time, please.

I remember motorhead being pretty good, quite stylish and was very smooth at the time, should be good on the psp.

I liked theme hospital on the PC. How does the PS One version rate?

You don't get to shoot the rats in the PS version. I was very disappointed when my friend revealed he could do this on his PC version.

Great. Another week that the portuguese PSN doesn't get updated with all the PS1 games released elsewhere. WTF is going on anyway!?
Nobody on the pt boards over on playstation.com seems to notice or care (other than me). Anyone here care to point me to some official contact where I can pass on my concerns/frustration? |

NO! The limit is not on the number of downloads, it's on the number of devices! |

andy : you sure about that? Flashback ending ----> Fade to Black intro
I remember it always being a sequel. Surely no 2 people inhabiting the same universe could dress so badly? |

mmm, theme hospital. I played that game to death on the pc. Loved it so much, i think i even started again the second i finished the game. Good times!
Fade to black was good as well, but i fear it hasn't aged as gracefully as Theme Hospital, which still very much deserves a good sequel. Get to work already stupid devs! |
