I've been digging into info, reviews and previews about the future of the Playstation2 and I must say it looks splendid. Already the power of this beautiful machine is showing. With such peripherals as "Mega Wega" Sound Boosters, Multi-taps, 8-16Mb memory cards and the upcoming Internet connection, its looking to be 'The Gaming Centre' for the world.
The very kind people at Sony have already cut the release price of £299.99 to £199.99 during the course of 11 months, which is sure to woo eager gamers into purchasing a PS2. What really gets on my nerves is the fact that I bought one for £299.99 when it was released and now they've reduced it by £100. I've flaming wasted £100. Anyway, its been worth it.
Its time for me to lay down some facts so you Playstation2 fanatics can be prepared for a gaming heaven.
There are some pretty lushus games due out this year. Let me recommend the best.

The smashing and imaginative 'Spy Hunter'

The PS2 has a bright and superb future ahead of it because it is such a powerful machine and publishers now have a lot of good games they can produce to suit this establishment.
Keep it real my friends:-D
> I want WipEout Fusion so bad, I'm going to buy 2097 tomorrow!
Get Wip3out instead - it's the best one.
> How do they expect us to pay for all these??
They're releasing GTA3 first to give you some ideas! ;-p
Did everyone apart from me know they're making Austin Powers 3?
The subtitle is Goldmember.
Only theoretically though...
The real world is a little different.
Capcom have said that they've got another game coming to the Gamecube - completely unrelated to Resident Evil or Street Fighter.
The Devil May Cry seems like a nice idea...
i forgot about GTA3D, it'll whup driver big time!
I must admit, the PS2 has some enlightening prospects when it comes down to games, doesn't it? I can confirm that around 10 of those games I want, and that 2 of them I can get because I'm as skint as someone very skint.
Hmm...
