November PS2 Offerings: A Little Something For Everyone

3 Comments 06 October 2008

November is coming and with that many people from the United States get hungry for their annual Thanksgiving Day celebration. It is a time to give thanks and consume too much food. November will also be providing a small feast of new titles to the Playstation 2 (PS2), including this PS2 exclusive.

JRPG + SDTRK = OMG

JRPG + SDTRK = OMG

Eternal Poison is an English version of the Japanese release, Poison Pink. Brought for consumption by Atlus, Eternal Poison will offer fans Japanese Role Playing Game (JRPG) music, their fill right out of the box, as the game comes with it’s soundtrack. This tactical turn-based JRPG is set in a dark fairy tale world of corruption and beauty. Five different storylines intertwine and have have direct effects on each other. Eternal Poison also offers some play choices in terms of how you dispatch your demonic foes. Will you bind them to serve or sacrifce them for money and spells? (No rating yet from the ESRB).

My Take: The collector and replay freak in me says this looks like it could take multiple play throughs.

Also be thankful for the multi-platform scheduled releases:

Sonic Unleashed – Another outing for the blue speedster.

Guitar Hero World Tour – Who will win the PS2 band war?

Call of Duty: World At War – Will there be flamethrowers?

WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 – I remember when Hillbilly Jim was the man.

Dynasty Warriors 6 – A two disc set featuring 10 new scenarios and 5 additional stages.

Hasbro Family Game Night – Mr. Potato Head will make your family play Yahtzee, Battleship, Boggle, Connect Four, until someone says, “Sorry!”

Need For Speed: Undercover – This has nothing to do with Top Gun

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon – The Final Chapter

Tomb Raider: Underworld – From Croft with love

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa – From the future (hit?) movie, watch out for those Penguins.

Bolt – A movie property, dog +superpowers = fun.

A life long gamer, Dave Hatfield a/k/a Fanky Malloon started out with an Atari VCS on a black and white TV and only paused during the video game apocalypse of the 1980s (though Racing Destruction set on his Atari 800 helped). His local mall contained two arcades which all but guaranteed his status as a mall rat (1986-1992). At the E3 this year fans were over joyed to find out that Fanky was no longer exclusive to the Xbox 360, but is available on the Wii (as long as Mrs. Malloon allows him, it's hers). He is thrilled at reminding people about what once was in gaming, and maybe helping people dust off their old hardware.
