Classic PSone vampire romp Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is among the latest titles to receive the ratings treatment from the ESRB, pointing to an inevitable re-release on Sony’s PlayStation Network service.

The site has also drummed up ratings for a number of other retro offerings, including the likes of Bomberman Party Edition, Fighting Force, Dirt Jockey and International Track & Field.

As ever, release dates have yet to be divulged, though we’ll be sure to keep you updated as soon as we hear anything.

    Soul Reaver! YES! Wait, why is it going through the ESRB again? It was rated when it came out and PSN versions are the exact same as the disc versions.

    @7: separate release and delivery system, so they need to pay more money to the ferryman. ...Don't you just love industry necessities like that?

    May actually be worth getting these...but PLEASE get to work on a PS3 LoK.  Soul Reaver 3 or Blood Omen 3.  Or Just mix them again, I won't mind I swear.

    Soul Reaver is ace!!! I played it round my mates house on the Dreamcast! Will download this and probably wack it on my psp! Great storyline over all the legacy of kain games, almost complicated enough to rival mgs's storyline!

    @higgos22 Yeah, it could. Think about it, when was the last time you ever saw people getting shot in a Disney movie since Tarzan? If the way movies are rated can change over time, then surely ratings for games could, too.

    Heyyy Fighting Force, they should re do alittle of it, make it 4- players and make more enemies be on screen and that game would be even better.

    I had Soul Reaver on Dreamcast (the system exploded). I have to say, Soul Reaver is one of THE BEST action adventure games I have ever played on the system. It drags you into it and doesn't let go.

    Still waiting for Grandia and Vagrant Story. I'm glad the games I enjoy the most are the least likely to ever show up on PSN...

    Awesome, I just bought this game on CD. Has few emulation problems on PS3 like sudden frame-rate drop, but nothing too bothersome.

    Funny thing is this is the one I was wanting to buy on the PS3 network now and mistakenly got the older crappier one.
