The game industry seems to be turning to remakes of old classics such as Alone in the Dark and Bionic Commando or relying on producing blockbuster sequels like Resident Evil 5 and Killzone 2 in order to push this generation forward. PSU has decided to put together a list of archived titles, remembered and forgotten, that should be brought back from the dead, to live again on the PlayStation console. This is a list of titles that once graced our beloved platforms with unique ideas, interesting characters, and just all around fun gameplay. Whether for a new set of paint, updated audio, or purely the sake of reliving the franchise, here are the Top 10 Games to revive on the PlayStation 3.
#10. Mark of Kri
Originally Developed by SCE Studios San Diego, Mark of the Kri mixed a unique storyline with great characters and an innovative combat system. It was almost like a cartoony version of God of War. The series was last seen when the sequel Rise of the Kasai, developed by BottleRocket Entertainment (responsible for upcoming Splatterhouse title), was released in 2005.
#9. Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring
This is definitely an oldie. Developed by Dream Factory (Tomba and The Bouncer) and published by Squaresoft, Ehrgeiz was a guilty pleasure on the original PlayStation. The game showcased a total of 16 characters, including famous faces as Cloud Strife, Tifa, and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII. The title also featured endurance modes as well as an "RPG" mode where players would select a character to fight through randomly generated dungeons. Overall the game was average, but how many of you would buy the game no matter what just to brawl with Cloud and Sephiroth?
#8. Fear Effect
Developed by Kronos Digital Entertainment Inc., the Fear Effect series was a fast paced action adventure game using anime inspired graphics and hot lesbian ladies to hook the player into the experience. Sadly the series never made it to the PlayStation 2, as Fear Effect Inferno was canceled. However, there are rumors now that Eidos may be looking to revive the series once more on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
#7. Dino Crisis
From the creators of Resident Evil, this survival horror title dropped players on a remote island to acquire a missing scientist, only to be hunted down and devoured by dinosaurs. The game featured a large selection of weapons and a variety of dinosaurs ranging from the Tyrannosaurus to the Deinonychus (aka: Super Raptor). If remade, we'd like to see the game running on the Resident Evil 5 engine, allowing for spectacular graphics, animations, and action sequences. With the game running on PlayStation 3 hardware, it would be exciting to see Capcom use 7.1 HD surround sound to intensify the feeling of being stalked by veracious dinosaurs.
#6. Legacy of Kain
First developed by Silicon Knights, but then continued by Crystal Dynamics, the Legacy of Kain series were some of the greatest vampire stories ever told in video-games. Titles in the series included: Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2, and then finally, Legacy of Kain: Defiance, all of which appeared on PlayStation platforms. After the completion of Defiance however, Legacy of Kain's team leader, Amy Hennig left the studio, and since her departure Crystal Dynamics has made no update concerning the series.
#5. Intelligence Qube
Now this may be just a personal favorite, but I would love to see this title re-released or remade for the PlayStation Network. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment, Intelligence Qube put your reaction speed and IQ to the test, running players through hundreds of different mind wrenching puzzles, or letting them create their own puzzles. Also players could go head to head and battle it out - a feature that would be great, especially now that we have online.
#4. Jet Moto
There is nothing like Jet Moto. Speeding ... (continued on next page)

How could you all forget probably the most stunning ps1 rpg ever made. The Legend of Dragoon. This is a game that the ps3 really needs. It has no rpgs worth mentioning. Plus lod had one of the most unique systems which could be worked on. It's also a sony exclusive and one of it's best projects ever. I would love to see this beauty back.

A second sequel to the mark of Kri would be coool.
Dino Crisis I would love to see Capcom make a new one.
If Edios could make a new Legacy of Kain that would be neat.
Intelligence Qube I could see selling really well. If it was to get remade. Every one loves echochrome and I think people would like this game too.
I so would love a new Jet Moto too. I have been wishing with the past ones coming out on PSN Sony was thinking about making a new one.
I really hope the rumors are true that Level 5 are making Dark Cloud 3 for the
PS3. Plus that there MMO really will get a rebirth on the PS3. That game was called True Fantasy Live Online. I can't tell you how much I hope the rumor is true that TFLO will come out on the PS3.
Now other games that are not on the list that I hope Sony brings to either the PSN or allows them to have a sequel. Plus I hope the third party members will make new ones too. My list of games I want to see are.
Arc the Lad, Alundra, Blasto, Breath of Fire, Bushido Blade, Colony Wars, DarkStalkers, Destruction Derby, Front Mission, G Police, Hydro Thunder, Legend of Legaia, Legend of Mana, Marvel vs. Capcom, MDK, NBA Jam, Lost Vikings, Oddworld, Parasite Eve, Rayman, Road Rash, SaGa Frontier, Snatcher, Suikoden, Syndicate Wars, Syphon Filter, Strider, Policenauts, Primal Rage, Tactics Ogre, The Legend of Dragoon, Tomba!, Vagrant Story, vib-ribbon, Wild Arms, & Xenogears.
So those are the games I want on PSN, remade or to get a sequel.

I want FF7 and FF8 more than anything, PSone titles definitely need to be remade more than PS2 because of how dated the graphics are. PSone games look awful when you go back and play them today. Especially on a big screen HDTV.

Jet moto FTW I hated Jet Moto for the PS2 they FAILED badly with a capital F.
As for FFVII I actually wonder if anyone would still buy this remake if it ever came to light. I mean it's been 11 years since the game came out. If u were 11 then you're 22 now, and I don't think many of them would be wanting to play that. As they have more important stuff to do this is only an example.
I actually want a remake of NFS III Hot Pursuit that game was fun when EA actually made games fun. Ridge Racer for the PS1 those were good times man good times.

FF VII being number 1 is a no-brainer.
I miss Vagrant Story, this game defiantly should have a re-make on PS3. Just looked at some footage, it was a great looking PS1 game, it would defiantly suit the PSP.
I love the Legacy of Kain Series, It would be great to see a timeline like the one in MGS 4 database.
Fear Effect was great, finished the first then only played some of the sequel.
Never got to play the Dark Cloud game or the other one but always wanted to.
