For some reason EA's shares are up almost 4% on this news, I didn't realize people actually owned PSPs. Supposedly they offer Wi-Fi multiplayer as well, which I have to admit is pretty cool, but I don't think it warrants such a large jump. The last time it went up this much was after their first quarter loss was lower than expected...

Its up because its almost time for the Madden sheep to buy their yearly roster update.
Cept maybe the 360 version will have more content for more money, something last year's 360 sports shitfests failed to do.
(Speaking of which, Microsoft needs a Links for the 360.)

But this list has issues.  The Origin games are their CONSOLE versions.  Meaning Wing Commander is played with a d pad, and Secret Missions is a seperate game, not an add on letting you play Blair to a disgustingly high kill rate and rank.  Ultima Black Gate is apparently sanitized as hell and is only LOOSELY based on Ultima 7, so don't go getting rid of Exult just yet.

And given the reports of how awful their PC collection of Command & Conquer was, can we really expect this to not suck?

Oh.  Its EA.  Sucking is virtually guaranteed.

Sega's PSP collection will blow this one out of the fucking water IMHO.

If I had a PSP and they do a good version of Syndicate (I have my doubts about the controls since the original game played like an RTS) I would buy it just to play that again. The chain gun in that game has never been equaled.

I was just thinking about Syndicate when I mentioned Pete Molyfuckingneux in the Spore thread. That guy really used to be something. I wonder if my 486 will still boot, it's been a couple years since I've used it (last time I played Ultima 7.5 before getting Exult). We had a strategy guide for Wing Commander at a sale at the library and that got me all nostalgic for Kilrathi-blastin', too. Luckily I won't bother with the aforementioned console ports, not owning a PSP. Nothing in that list sounds compelling.
