Smaller Playstation 2 Theorized

Tim Grube writes "According to Gaming Horizon and several other industry insiders, Sony will be celebrating their fourth-year anniversary of the Playstation 2 on October 26th by releasing a smaller, more compact version of the game system with the new name PStwo. Some analysts believe the PStwo will retail at $149.99, the current price of the Playstation 2."

The biggest X-Box Live games tend not to be fpses...

Have you looked at the list of the most popular Xbox Live games? (Rather than taking an informal poll of what you and your friends are playing...which if you are sane, is Burnout 3)

Here are the top 25 games on Xbox live.

Of the 25 games, 7 1/2 are FPS's. Including the #1 game now (Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow) and the game that has been #1 since last December- until Black Arrow took over (Rainbow Six 3).

The FPSs on the list are:

• Rainbow Six 3:Black Arrow
• Counter-Strike
• Rainbow Six 3
• Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (1/2 FPS, depending on your team)
• Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
• Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War
• Unreal Championship
• Ghost Recon

But, at least you didn't do what most people do, and say 'Xbox is just for people who want to play crappy FPSs'. Because while there are a lot of FPSs (and a lot of them are good) there are also a lot of other types of games.

From the same list- which is obviously a list of games that people are really still playing:

• 7.5 FPSs
• 6 Sports games (NFL 2K5 beats Madden- YES!)
• 7 Racing Games (watch Burnout 3 move up the charts)
• 2.5 'Action' Games. (Mechassault and Crimson Skies)
• 1 Totally Crappy RPG (Phantasy Star)

The only game on the list I have never played, is Jedi Knight, so I honestly have no idea what type of game it is.

But to say that the Xbox Live games tend not be be First Person Shooters is probably wrong. FPSs are up there with everything else, and because they dominate the TOP of the list, they are probably the #1 genre overall.

And finally- I would have to say that YES, Halo is an awesome game. Judging from the sentence structure in both of your paragraphs, I am going to say that you are obviously too caught up in your own psuedo-intellectual world to really enjoy a game where you go around shooting everything in sight. Your writing makes it sound as though you are just learning to 'write for business'- and now you take yourself way to seriously to have fun with such a childish game. OR, possibly you are foreign (non-American) and you come from a place where starting a sentence with 'As such,' is they way all the kids are talking on the playground.
