In the next-gen console wars you're not considered a contender unless you have an online game download service. Not only does this allow gamers to quickly install titles onto their home systems, but they are also breathing new life into classic video games. From console, computer and arcade titles retro re-releases are topping the most popular download charts, so much so that publishers are starting to develop "remixes" of the originals.

In the past I've put together databases of the classic games for the Wii Virtual Console and Xbox Live Arcade, so now PlayStation Networks gets a turn with a list of all the classic game offerings on the PlayStation Store.

What makes the PlayStation Store so special is that it offers original PSOne that can be played on both the PlayStation 3 console and PSP handheld systems. Now there are a few other classic game offerings available besides the PSOne titles, including an exclusive of the Q-Bert arcade game.

• Classic Games on the PlayStation Network's PlayStation Store.
• More classic game downloads via Xbox Live Arcade.
• Wii Ship Channel's Wii Virtual Console Classic Game Database.
