Other here in the Uk, we have had PS2 for a year nearly. During this there have been some good games released. With the likes of GT3, Onimusha, Code: V, Red fraction and more. However some people were complaining that these are all good titles, but we expect better ones that really show off the PS2. We have had games that show off the graphics, like GT3, and games that show off gameplay and plot (if there is meant to be one) but never have we really had both. SSX is about the only one that has managed to do both, great graphics and gameplay. Other than that, there have not really been any.

However, as you will probally know, many of the PS2's top class games are being released in the run up to christmas. Pro Evo, GTA 3, DMC, Burnout, Herdy Gerdy, Jack and Dax, Smackdown 3 and more. These are all considered to be the first batch of the games that will really prove Sonys power in the console market all over again. Most of the games all have both top graphics and excellent gameplay, eg. DMC and Pro Evo. Both contain excellent quality graphics, in Pro Evo players are created to look like real players, incuding there faces, and the gameplay is some of the best in any football games. DMC will be great too, good too, the gameplay consist of puzzle solving and destroying eneimies, and killing them has never been as fun than it is with this. Constantly changing between guns and your sword. The graphics are equally as good.

The question is though, why have we had to wait a year to finally get these games? How come, just in one area of the year, a big list of games come out for the talking.

Well, the PS2 is suppose to be a little hard to get to grips with when making games, so maybe the developers have just been practising, or really taking there time so to make the games a good as they can possible get. Many of these games are though out in the other usual countrys already. So maybe it was a smart move by Sony to wait to get them released nearer to Christmas, or even nearer to the price drop that has recently taken place in order to make more people buy the already succesful black console.

The fact that we are getting the games now, is good. But it does have a down side. There are many good games coming out all at once, and many people will want lots of them but can not afford them. People like me who dont have a full time job and only have a part time one will possible not be able to get all the games we want. If they were released earlier in the year, 2 at a time say, then we may have been able to get more. Thankfully though, christmas is nearly here, and those lucky ones amongst us will possible get a game or too on that day.

But at least now, the good games are about to be released, giving us some excellent gaming, and proving that we really did make a good choice in console.

There is no better time to be a PS2 owner than it is now.

Cheers.
