Something has been bugging me, are they going to release some PC games on the PS2, I mean the graphics of a PS2 is a good chip found in a PC.
The XBOX might have some PS2 games but thats a high possiblty, Why dont the computers publishers just put all games on only the certain consoles when they can put them on the all consoles, I know it will take ages converting them to suite that system.
Just release some game on the PC onto the PS2 and all the other consoles.
I mean they said Halo the game currently for the PC is now going onto the XBOX, but not the PS2.

Halo was never coming to a console, it was to be a PC only game, and as the Xbox is basically a PC, it has been transferred over to this system, by way of a Microsoft subsidy.

It would be good to see the good PC games available for the PS2, but changed a little ie extra levels, secrets, more characters that kind of thing. Make it appeal to people who already own it on PC.

There are a few screenshots of PS2 Deus Ex at:

I've got the PC version, so I'm not sure I'll bother buying it... but it looks quite a bit better than the PC version... smoother and a little more detailed.

One that I am keen on getting is Star Trek Voyager Elite Force - Im just getting into Star Trek and this would go down well, plus I am hooked on FPS's at the moment!!

There are a few conversions that spring to mind. Half Life, Deus Ex, I believe Giants: Citizen Kabuto is coming out shortly. Commandos 2, new versions of Hidden and Dangerous and a version of Baldur's Gate. Escape from Monkey Island. I'm sure I could reel off a load more if I went and checked out a mag, but there are plenty of PC games going to PS2.
