I believe that Sony's consoles have, do and will benefit from games that proved to be sure hits on other machines. Companies decide to release games like that only if they sold many copies and proved favourites with gamers all over the world. This is why many of us are playing games like Crazy Taxi, Quake 3 Revolution and Unreal Tournament.And in the coming months we will be playing Resi Evil X and Soldier Of Fortune, not forgetting Half-Life.
Games that have been converted from PC and other consoles are more likely to be successful because many people who have heard of these games on other machines would want to see what the whole fuss is about.
Sometimes conversions fail miserably and companies lose money because of that.But luckily it doesnt happen very often and only PSone developers found converting top titles on other nachines to Sonys console a problem.
My point is that I would rather buy games that have been proved top class titles in the past than shell out on a game that noone knows about.

What about about Spy Hunter, the old spectrum classic? I think this game looks pretty damn good as well.
