The wait is over. That is, if you’ve been dying for something new to download from the PlayStation Network. (It does seem like slim pickings compared to what’s available on XBLA). Starting tomorrow, Joust, a timeless Midway classic will be making its debut on the PlayStation Network — for the low SRP of $4.99. Your objective is to defeat all the enemy knights from a higher jousting point, while avoiding the rapture of creatures such as the dreaded lava trolls or pterodactyl. That’s really all there is to it. By now, most of you have already played this on Xbox Live (or the arcades… or that Atari system tossed up in your closet.)

It’s good to see some classics hitting the PS3. Now Midway just needs to break out NBA Jam, the entire Mortal Kombat series and Spy Hunter. Make it so.
