The two most powerful consoles in the world, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 are currently being outsold by Nintendo’s revolutionary Wii every month. No surprises there, but did you know that the aging PlayStation 2 is also beating Microsoft and Sony’s latest and greatest? As strange as it might seem, a seven year old console is showing that it has plenty of life left in it and given that over forty million have been sold worldwide, developers are still churning out games for it. And I for one am glad that this is the case because titles like Okami and God of War II are truly magnificent. Hopefully, SBK-07 will lead me to the same conclusion.

Although it was originally planned to span across six games, Monolith Software's Xenosaga series came to a surprise ending with the release of Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra. In order to answer all of the lingering questions that the first two titles left us wondering, you can rest assured knowing that this release is packed with tons of cinematics and plot driven dialog to finish off one of the most engaging storylines in video game history. While there is certainly a ton of information to be taken in here, long time fans can expect this trilogy to finish off on a strong note.

Let's face the facts; the PlayStation 2 will be virtually dead this November when the superior PS3 makes its worldwide debut, so one could easily assume that the rest of the PS2's future is rather bleak. Not all developers have thrown in the towel yet, though, as we can see with the release of an innovative game known only as Okami. Based on an old Japanese legend, gamers take control of a white wolf that can utilize divine powers in order to save the land from the terror incurred by a multi-headed dragon.

Sega’s Super Monkey Ball series has been known for it’s easy to pickup mechanics and overall unique gameplay experience. Although it bears a few resemblances to titles such as Marble Blast, racing through puzzles and participating in minigames is like nothing else when you’re playing as a monkey in a hamster ball. This time around, developer Traveller's Tales tries to take the game in a new direction by incorporating a story mode. While this game was also released on GameCube and PSP, today we’re taking a look at the PS2 version of the next release in the saga known as Super Monkey Ball Adventure.

Fighting games have evolved a lot in the last decade. Fighters like the famed Mortal Kombat series are incorporating 3D levels, a variety of fighting styles that can be changed in game, and we've even seen RPG elements make an appearance. Sometimes it feels great to journey back to a much simpler time, a time when 2D fighters reigned supreme. Thankfully, Capcom released the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology; a collection of five timeless classics all bunched together onto a PS2 DVD.

With the next generation of gaming slowly encroaching upon us, it’s obvious that plenty of current-gen titles won’t be receiving the proper attention they deserve. New FPS and driving games on the PS2 won’t be as technically impressive as ones on the 360, so chances are they won’t sell to well. With that in mind, Konami mustered up the developing power to bring us the first release of Beatmania outside of Japan. By catering to a very specific taste, Beatmania will give your PS2 some added life before you move on to your more expensive alternatives.

Considering the plethora of mech games currently available for the PS2, the only one that has really stood the test of time is the Armored Core series. Armored Core: Nine Breaker is the 9th title in the Armored Core series, and it certainly lives up to its reputation. With millions of different warrior configurations and a fast paced battle system, Nine Breaker delivers a solid robot warfare experience filled to the top with hardcore action.

Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome is an in-depth strategy RPG that tries to separate itself from other titles in this genre, and is surprisingly successful in doing so. Working for the Lord Zetta, you must complete a series of battles involving Netherworlds, Overlords, parallel universes and a lot of character development throughout this thought provoking role-playing game available for the PS2.

The Killer 7 are a group of international super assassins led by a man named Harman in a world without use of nuclear arms and a generation unknowing of terrorism. Or so your character thinks. In fact after playing this game and I’m still not entirely sure what was real and what wasn’t. Where do I begin?

Once in a blue moon, gamers are rewarded for their choice of console by the superpowers of console gaming. Nintendo have rewarded their gamers with countless jewels in the form of their Metroid Prime and Zelda games. Microsoft blessed its followers with Halo and Mech Assault. So that leaves us with the biggest of the super powers, Sony. It is no secret that Sony’s Gran Turismo series have brought great success to the PlayStation, but what about other in house developer made successes? Well, in the month of March 2005, God of War for the PlayStation 2 set foot on North American soil and was well received. Earlier this July, that very same game made its way to the shores of the European market. Thus, I thought it would be appropriate to visit ancient Greece and meet God of War, head on.
