Well, as this forum disappears under spam, Metal Gear Solid 2, Grand Theft Auto 3 and Xbox related posts, we seem to have colectiely forgotten that there is a rather stunning amount of spectacular games heading to the Playstation 2.

This Friday we have three decent games - Dynasty Warriors 3, Eve Of Extinction and ICO. Does anyone care, well one other person, but thats it.

Virtua Fighter 4, a contender to Dead Or Alive 3 on the Xbox, nearly arcade perfect if japanese imports are anything to go by, and is there any talk about this potentially ggreat game ? Nope.

Tonight in London Eidos officially reveal the look and details of Tomb raider Next Gen. Regardless of your own thoughts on Lara, if this game is good - in terms of gameplay and graphics - then come Christmas time it will sell the Playstation 2. Has anyone mentioned this ? Nope.

ECTS coming up in May, any speculation about the future of the PS2 an what will be on show there ? No. anything at all about future and forthcoming games, very little. Triple H may have copied his Gender Gaming post but at least it was interesting ! if this forum doesn't get some kind of interesting topics soon then we may as well go set up camp in FOG Chat and Prime, or even the Xbox forum.......why ? Because they have interesting topics that soon knock the spam down the page. Maybe spam is over running this forum because there are very few interesting posts like those seen in FOG.

Now is a critical time for this console. With Xbox out and Gamecube incoming the next gen console scene has beomce ery interesting and this Christmas is going to be the best yet for all gamers as the three companies go all out to convince gamers and non gamers that there console is the best. There isn't a "best" console, only hte on you enjoy yourself, or ones :P The trouble is no one at Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo will admit this :)

ICO seems alot like the part on MGS2 where u have to guide emma. Should be pretty good although it seems to looks repetative.

Official PS2 MAgazine gave ICO 9/10, and they're usually right. I like the look of it, and it seems to be a very tranquil style of game.

ICO is an interesting one for me, looks good but havent heard a lot about it. I have read the SR review but you cant just base a purchase on that (there going to be slightly baised right?) and since i rarely get any mags i dont really have much info to go on. Agian i have looked around the internet for info but still its hard to know who to trust.

So ill do my usual trick... let you lot buy it and ill see what you say. :D
