New Releases 12/7 – 12/13: Goodnight, PS2 Edition
The glory days seem long behind us with a scant thirteen titles released this week. Contrast this with early November, when 70+ titles were released, filling store shelves and emptying our wallets. Perhaps history will recall this week as the Playstation 2’s last stand- many are calling Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 the last great PS2 title.

DesertEagle’s Pick: While most gamers should be rightfully skeptical of my pick of Neopets Puzzle Adventure, consider these points: 1)The game was developed by Infinite Interactive who made the excellent Puzzle Quest. 2) The central game is based on Othello/Reversi, an oddly addictive game. I’ll also be picking up Persona 4, which I’ve heard is one of the best JRPGs in years. I hope it’s the send-off the PS2 deserves.
TideGear’s Pick: While Neopets Puzzle Adventure does sound fun, I must say it creeps me out that the CEO of Neopets is really into Scientology. Regardless, my pick of the week is the PC version of Prince of Persia. After that, I’m a sucker for a good tower defense game so hopefully Defense Grid: The Awakening will be a winner. Lastly, the first Dungeon Maker for PSP wasn’t so great but I’m going to give Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War a shot.
P4 for me! Good call, DE!
Story Hour: Fairy Tales, because reading your kids stories is so outdated.
Now I can plop them in front of the wii, while I pop a cold tall one.
Neopets Puzzle Adventure
Where’s the PSP and DS versions? When do they come out?
Slingo is always fun.
But free on the interwebs. Why would I pay to play it?
Not a of of choices. I’m picking saving my cash.
I’ll try the Neopets.
I still got to get Far Cry 2. It’s on sales this week on Amazon for $39.99!!!
Father of the year material right there.
Id like to see the driver who practiced on DS. Look out, world.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Thanks for the memories, PS2.
Yeah, I loved PQ. If this is anywhere as good, I be very pleased.
Not too many choices this week.
Yep, My PS2, we shared some good times.
With seven unopened games, I’ll work on my backlog.
I still need to get Left 4 Dead.
Maybe PoP for PC.
Persona 4 is on its way from Amazon.
Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War for me.
So you guys don’t watch Tom Cruise movies? b/c he’s into Scientology big time.
Yeah, you shouldn’t really judge a entire companies work based on the religious affiliation of their CEO.
Agreed, that’s a low blow, Tide Gear.
I do. Top Gun still gets played once a year in my house.
I really don’t have anything against Scientologists. It’s the group that bugged me twice this weekend that won’t say the Pledge of Allegiance, honor the flag, and make it an offense to join the military. I found them troubling.
But just as I love my country, I also love it’s freedom to practice any religious beliefs. Come to my door, wake me up and expect a lecture.
Well stated, DE!
I hope none of your readers/subscribers are into Scientology.
I really enjoyed WordJong for DS
So long PS2!
Neopets, religion be damned!
Good call, Desert!
Neopets could;d be good, as I loved Othello as a kid.
Persona 4.
The idea of Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War sound interesting.
TideGear, are you an atheist?
Um, why would you ask that?
Are you guys going to review Neopets?
I cant really pay for a Defense game, when so many great ones are free.
ET, 2600 FTW!
Yes, we should have a review of the DS version this week.
LOL, good job Good Griefer!
Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War
Unlike TideGear, I enjoyed the first one. It was repetitive, but I loved the concept.
Sold my PS2 when I got my PS3. No regrets.
I love that weird P4 image!
I cant mourn a crap piece of hardware. I had two PS2 that died before I bought the slim. Damn disk errors.
Did you make it?
Sonic Unleashed – PS3
That release list isn’t half as long as me.
LOL
Any care to venture how many Brain Training games are on the DS?
Haven’t we reached saturation yet?
Two words- STAY AWAY!
Damn, I just picked this up 🙁
You guys going to review Dungeon Maker.
Did you end up picking it up? If so, how was it?
ehh nothing i really want
PS2 WE GIVE YOU A FINAL SALUTE!
PS2 releases may be slowing down, but as long as Japanese publishers keep putting out quality games, it will never truly die. Looking at you Atlus!
Hi,
Online classes allow teens to work at their own pace which gives them a better chance to grasp all the knowledge being showcased in front of them. In addition, they are allowed to work in the comforts off their own bedroom on their own schedule.
Thanks
Sofia.
