He means State of Emergency.
60Hz gives you full screen, full speed, optimised gaming. Since the Japanese and Americans have 60Hz TVs as standard, and we only have 50Hz, we usually get games that run slower, for our TVs. However, the 60Hz option lets anyone with a decent TV play games in the American style- it runs faster, smoother, and fills the screen with no black borders. This is what 60Hz on the Dreamcast (which was supported by almost every game) did. Even most non-60Hz games had full screen in the standard 50Hz mode.
On the PS2, only a handful of games have 60Hz mode, with many other games having massive black borders (Devil May Cry), and being stupidly slow (Tekken is fast on Japanese machines, but sooo slow on UK ones). Even the optimised 60Hz games are still not great- they have full screen, but no difference in speed. This is very, very pathetic.

> what do the different Hz modes do?
As far as I know running games in 60hz increases the frame rate by 20%, I've also found out that games that have borders in the 50hz mode run in full screen with the 60hz mode, cool huh :-)
