Now in full 3D and blending humor, suspense, and blinding speed, Rayman must escape an intergalactic zoo by using the powers of his still-imprisoned friends to open the door to an even greater power to free them. Unique to the PS2 version of the game are a number of brand new stages, a harder difficulty level, and a progressive upgrade system that gives Rayman a number of abilities not found in other iterations.Show more

While it is not considered the "definitive" version of the game and has some flaws, Revolution is my favorite version of Rayman 2. I love a lot of the new additions, like the hub world, new enemies, added story, new bosses, 2D sprites changed into 3D models, etc. Probably my favorite thing is updated looks of some of the levels (Ly being imprisoned in an actual prison, the whole aesthetic of "The Cave of Bad Dreams", etc.). Also, it would be nice to not have to setup a PS2 emulator and patch a rom to play the game in 60 FPS.
I’m of the rare opinion of enjoying the changes added to Revolution compared to the original, not to mention that even with mods, the original PC release isn’t always the most glorious way to play.
Rayman made me realize that I'm gay. He was literally part of my gay awakening. I have no idea who but I fell in love with this limbless twink the moment I saw him. Something about the way he said "YEAH, RAYMAN!" awoke something in me, and I've never been the same since. Thanks, Rayman.
This is THE BEST version of Rayman 2 to me.
The new opened hub world is giving a better atmosphere, brings more to the story, extra cutscenes, locations, levels, bosses!
It adds so much content it almost look like the original game is just a demo.
Rayman 2 is known as one as the best 3D platformer ever, so its ultimate version, Rayman Revolution, definitely deserves to be on GOG with hopefully some remastering!
I didn't even talked about the OST... So mysterious and funky!
People may consider the Dreamcast port of Rayman 2 to be the "definitive" version of the game, but Revolution to me, is a major upgrade from the base game with its refreshed and new open hubworld, story additions, and even the inclusion of English voice acting for Rayman himself (by the great David Gasman) and all the other characters, with the original "Wandaye" gibberish voices left in as an option. I would love to be able to play this version of Rayman 2 on PC without the need for an emulator.
I always remember my childhood where me and my big bro played this amazing old game on PlayStation 2 when I was a teen, and it's was so much fun to play! The 3D hub worlds look great, and I've played on the first level where I can collect yellow lumps before going to the next level. And most of all, the story is beautiful and awesome. I hope to see celebration of Rayman's 30th Anniversary!
Have this game on ps2 and I play it on the ps3, i get lost in the hub world sometimes, I love this game Rayman's model looks really good. While the game has lag, I would love to see it on PC so I could maybe mod it, or make there have a 60 frame lock. It would also fix the Rayman 2 not launching on PC

Final Fantasy VIIIFinal Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.Open world Fantasy Science fiction

Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera.
Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are.
The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling.
The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.Horror Survival
Final Fantasy VIFinal Fantasy VI first debuted in 1994 as the sixth instalment in the iconic Final Fantasy series. Innovations included the ability to play all the main characters as the game's protagonist, and to this day, its epic story intertwining each of their fates is still highly rated and wildly popular.
With plenty of abilities available and the magicite system for controlling spells/summoning, players can develop their characters any way they want. This was also the first Final Fantasy game to include the Ultima Weapon, the most powerful sword of all and a recurring item in subsequent titles within the series.Open world Fantasy Sandbox
