Check these out, they all come with the Zack Seal of Approval. PS2 only, of course.
Devil May Cry 3
Ever play DMC 2? No? Don't. Its a horrible crapfest of a game that lacks all of the charm of the first one. Rumers abound that the twin brother of Dante, Virgil, is actually the main character in DMC 2, which would explain why Dante suddenly got so freaking lame.
The game itself looks bad-ass. The new fighting system is bad-ass. Being able to use an electric guitar and nunchuka is bad-ass. Dante is bad-ass.
Overall, I am thinking this game will be...cool.
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
Lets face it, you stick Final fantasy onto anything and it will sell, even if it is crap. Fortunatly, Dirge looks to be anything but crap, putting you in command of the coolest vampire ever, Vincent Valentine (Yeah, he could kick D's ass). Its not an RPG by any means, think more of a Devil May Cry with one of the original gunslingers on Playstation. No word on the story yet, but with Advent Children, the CG FF 7 movie on the way soon, I'm betting we get at least one cameo from the best Final Fantasy ever.
Timesplitters: Future Perfect
I love Timesplitters. There is nothing like bringing a laser gun to a 1920's era gangster fight, or unloading two tommy guns at once into a mutant fish with a knife. The actual games themselves may be just average, but the pure flavor is what draws you in.
Looks like for the third instalment they decided to make it a good game too. The graphics are near Halo quality, while retaining the almost comical nature of the models. Huge levels, online multiplayer, the most awesome level editor ever, and whatever else they can throw in makes this a definate on the must own list.
So, in closing, the PS2's last year is already shaping up to be, as the total pop icon of the season would say, "Freakin sweet!". And this is only just the first wave.
Oh yeah, and Lego Star Wars.
