Konami has announced that the epic RPG Suikoden (both their words AND ours) is now available for download via the PlayStation Network for the "totally worth it" price of $5.99. If you're under the age of 25, you might not remember Suikoden...Too bad, the game totally rocked.

Here's a description:

With the future of the Scarlet Moon Empire at stake, players seek out the Stars of Destiny to aid them in overthrowing the corrupt government. The head of the Liberation Army, players can also gather up to 108 companions to join them in battles as they call the shots in large-scale warfare.  Suikoden offers variation in combat with the ability to battle groups of enemies with a team of six characters, defeat foes in one-on-one duels, or control the battlefield during major conflicts as the Liberation army wages war.

We know, it doesn't SOUND all that enticing, but trust us...this is one of the best RPGs of that generation (originally released on the PlayStation in 1995 in Japan/1996 US).

Anyway, do yourself a favor and check it out on PSN...You'll thank us later.
