Teken Tag, Gran Turismo 3, Metal Gear Solid - sons of liberty, Fifa 2001 and the list goes on... We are only three months on since the PS2 got released and look at the sequals there are for it. I know these are great games in their own right but come on is this what we expect from possibly the greatest games console to graze planet earth. I hope things will improve. There are a few shining examples like Fantavision and The Getaway that show what can be acheived with a little bit of thought.

I really hope developers dont go for the tried and tested, come on guys (and gals!) be different, show the originality and poer of the PS2.

This doesn't just go for the games but also for gaming magazines and web sites. Will magazines and web-sites go for the tried and tested or will they dare to be different?

Only time will tell but the PS2 has shown the power is there. Its up to the developers of games and magazine/web-site staff to take us to THE THIRD PLACE!

True, that's a lor of sequels, but they're all guaranteed big sellers. They are some of the best in their genres, which at least ensures the PS2 has a solid base to build on, unlike the N64 which sufferent from a distinct lack of exceptional fighters/racers. With any luck, the mor eoriginal titles will come when the PS" has established itself a little more.
