With the upcoming remake of Warhawk coming out soon, I realized that there are some games that were great on the original Playstation but were MIA on the PS2. Could a PS3 upgrade be in the works for these games?

COLONY WARS ( Psygnosis 1997-2000)

It wasn't just a good shooter franchise for the original Playstation. It was THE best shooter on the Playstation and one of the best to come around in a long time. Spanning three games including Vengeance and Red Sun, the war with the League of Free Worlds and The Tzar featured huge multi- layered battles, branching storylines, and was one of the first Playstation titles to make full use of Dolby Surround Sound. Using advantage of Blu Ray and the HDD, think of Lair in space with negligible load times, downloadable content, and an MMO mode so expansive it could rival what is available on the PC. With yet another Wipeout game in the making, why hasn't Psygnosis fired up the retro rockets again? 

JET MOTO ( SingleTrac 1996-1999)

It was Wipeout on water. Waverace 64 meets Star Wars Pod Racing. I'll admit, the learning curve for the games seemed a bit high at the time but once you got the hang of it the game only got better. Featuring suicide courses, the game employed the use of a magnetic grapple system and the ability to race on land as well as water. After Incognito Entertainment took over the Twisted Metal franchise, you would think some version would have graced the PS2 after having three sequels on the Playstation. As good as Twisted Metal Black was revived, I don't think I need to spell out how good a new sequel to this game would look today on a much more powerful system...

BUSHIDO BLADE ( Squaresoft 1997-1998 )

I said it before and I'll say it again: I LOVE THIS GAME. Any time I hear of a remake I think of these games. While people seemed to balk at the ability to drop your opponent at just one swipe, the games were remarkably deep when you took time out to master them. Huge multi-tiered levels, a thought out damage system, and no life bars that handicap most fighting games, Bushido Blade on the PS3 would be like Fight Night with weapons. Don't even consider the Kengo game on the PS2 a true sequel, a REAL successor still awaits.

FEAR EFFECT (Eidos 2000-2001)

The series was a hybrid of Blade Runner and Resident Evil with a mix of Chinese mythology rolled into one. You played as three mercenaries who were to do a simple mission but was then pitted in a battle against the King of Hell. The game used cell shading with mature themes and was one of the few survival horror games to become popular not published by Capcom or Konami. It even spawned a prequel, Retro Helix within a year of the first and then.....nothing. No PS2 sequel or anything. Here's hoping when the movie comes out (which will probably be crap) in '08 Eidos will continue with this original franchise for the PS3 instead of making another 25 to Life game.

People are always talking about all these sequels that are going to be released on the PS3 and they should be as they will take almost full advantage of the hardware. However, if Sony decides to brush the dust off these games anytime soon, people will soon be talking again about these as well...
