PS2 games for playback on PS3

All being well,i will have my PS3 next week.

Having sold my PS2 about 3 years ago and not really following the PS2 games scene since i have now started to look through the back catalogue to pick some out which will hopefully be backwards compatible on the PS3.

I am thinking of buying Okami,Shadow Of The Colossus,God of War and God Of War 2.

Will i still play these even though i have next gen games? Do they live up to reviews ?

They are all fantastic games. I am sure they will still provide plenty of enjoyment for you, even though they may be 'last-gen'. I heartily recommend all that are on your list.

Whether they will successfully play or not remains to be seen though...

Re: PS2 games for playback on PS3

Would it not be more prudent to just wait and see whether they will all be OK on the PS3??
