I don't know about yourselves, but I feel the PS2 has been going through a really dull patch in terms of decent games. But yesterday I got the newest PSM2 demo and it looks like the future's going to be a lot brighter.

3 games that really got my attention were:

MGS3: I haven't been a huge fan of the series but I like the new look of this installment. Set in the Jungle, there's a lot of space for tactical thinking and basically it just looks well cool. Reminded me of Rambo actually, at some points.

GT4: Has anyone else seen this demo? Honestly, I wasn't sure which shots were of the game and which shots were of real-life races. I think there were real life shots included but the game looks so real I couldn't tell the difference. And the spectators, there was a good shot of a rally stage, and again I wasn't sure if it was real or not because the crowd were solid and moved very realistically, but I doubt that could have been a game shot, as with the pit crews, holy crap, you need to see this to believe it.

and finally:

Colin McRae 4: Another belter of a racer, again it looks very realistic, although not quite as good as GT4. But damage effects are second to none and the cars look as if they handle extremely realistically. Even said to rival GT4 in some parts but I guess that'll mostly be in the car physics and damage departments.

I was thinking about this yesterday, in between revision. I thought, "Why should I keep my PS2? What can I look foward to?"

Besides TR:AOD, I came up with these three:

SOCOM and headset (when I get broadband)
Dance Mat and Megamix (getting it next week)
EyeToy

I got back to my revision soon after.

OK. One player footy online is good.

But have you ever played 2 players on the same team before using the same TV?

It's mad. You get some greedy git who won't pass.

Imagine it online! Totally pathetic, you'll get somone who won't pass every match!
