I just typed this from the new EGM. The PS2 still has some great titles coming to it. Definetly looking forward to GoW2, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Burnout Dominator.
Still Kickin
The Xbox and the GameCube may have prematurealy called it quits, but the PS2,last generation's sole champ still has some fight left in it. Here are teh games that'll help keep one of the best consoles ever alive during hte best year ever.
Lumines Plus
(Buena Vista, Feb 2007)
The PSP continually samples from the PS2 library. But now its time for the taker to become the giver as the techno-laced puzzler Lumines Plus will come to the console with the skins not found in the original.
MVP 07 NCAA Baseball
(EA Sports, Feb 2007)
The lack of an MLB license hasn't stopped EA's ballplayers from innovating on the baseball diamond. MVP 07 introduces some new pitching mechanics , which we're already digging.
Dawn of Mana
(Square Enix, March 2007)
The long-standing role-playing series says buh-bye to the PS2 with a game that reminds us alot of Kingdom Hearts, thanks to its fast-paced fighting system and stylish cartoon graphics
God of War II
(Sony CEA, March 2007)
Ffor his videogame debut, the pasty white Kratos proved to be a force in and out of hte bedroom. We expect nothing less here, as GOW1 will have a heftier supply of boss battles, plus all new weapons and items (wind bow, Icarus wings, and more)
Persona 3
(Atlus, April 2007)
Atlus' cult role-playing series (which falls under the Shin Megami Tensei umbrella) gets even weirder; Persona 3 takes place at a school and you gotta adhere to its rules (in between battling shadow creatures, naturally).
Burnout Dominator
(EA Games, Spring 2007)
If you don't have enough dough for a PS3 or 360 to play Burnout 5, Dimoniator does boast one feautre from its next gen big brother: You can build rivalries with other drivers populating hte streets
Guitar Hero II: 1980s Edition
(RedOctane/Activision, Spring 2007)
This expansion hasn't been officially announced yet (trust us, it's coming), but just the thought of jamming to all '80s tunes has us itchin' to rock some spandex
Tomb Raider Anniversary
(Eidos, Spring 2007)
Anniversary isn't just a spiffer version of Ms Croft's 10 year old PS1/Saturn raid. It'll also pack a deeper narrative, more complex puzzles and some of her new moves (like the grappling hook) from last year's Legend
Wild Arms 5
(TBD, Summer 2007)
This RPG's combat promises to be user friendly not to mention more forgiving (it lets you pick up right where you left off after dying in boss battles).
Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix
(Square Enix, Fall 2007)
Well, you'll definetly give a crap if you're a Kingdom Hearts nut; Final Mix not only adds some new cutscenes and boss fights (Ssora will go 1 on 1 with his doppelganger, Roxas) but it also includes a 3D version of Chain of Memories, the card filled strategy game originally released on the Game Boy Advance
