You own a Playstation 2 but aren't quite sure what other items to buy with it. What games should you buy? Do you need extra controllers? Are memory cards required? Are any other accessories required? Follow these directions below and you can answer all your questions and start enjoying your console to the fullest.

Games After choosing the system, the biggest decision is what games will you buy to go along with it. The Playstation 2 console is just an expensive dvd player if you don't buy games, so you need to address this question right away. The first way to choose games is pick something related to a hobby of yours outside of gaming. Do you play football, skateboarding, like cars, or fishing, like a particular movie? There are games for all of these hobbies, movie tie in games, and many more. The second option for choosing your games is start with a list of the most popular games released on the Playstation 2. They are:

Grand Theft Auto vice City, Final Fantasy X, madden 2006, splinter Cell, Gran Turismo 3, and SOCOM Navy Seals

These games aren't made for everyone, so be sure you check the ratings and descriptions before buying one. The Playstation 2 has one of the broadest game lists of any system so you are bound to find a game that exactly fits your particular likes.

Controllers The Playstation 2 console originally came with one controller out of the box but two controller slots. Buying a second controller can be a great investment, especially if your friends play games too or multiple people in the house play. The small investment will greatly increase your enjoyment of the system because you can play with friends at the same time. If you buy a multi-tap adaptor you can use four controllers at the same time. Unless you buy the multi-tap adaptor there is no need to buy more than one controller.

This is a great time to mention the difference between Sony brand controllers and third party controllers. Sony contollers are more reliable, while third party controllers are less expensive but can break easier. I only recommend buying Sony brand controller for the most part. The one exception to this is Logitech brand controllers. Logitech makes a high quality wireless controller that is very reliable.

memory Cards - You will need at least one memory card to save your games on the Playstation 2. The Sony brand 8 MB memory card can save quite a bit of game data. Unless you play lots of sports games, you will only need one memory card. If you really love your sports games, be sure to pick up a couple extras because they need lots of space to store all the data needed to play an entire season.

Accessories - The Playstation 2 has lots of other accessories you could buy including network adaptors, steering wheels, and even a hard drive. The most useful of these is the network adaptor which plugs into the back of the system and allows you to connect to the internet for online games. Many of the most recent games on the ps2 support online play so you will need this network adaptor. (Quick side note: if you buy a Slim PStwo system you do not need to buy this adaptor because it is already built into the system). The other accessories for the ps2 have their uses too but are not quite as beneficial as the network adaptor.

These directions should have helped you choose the games, controllers, memory cards, and accessories you want with your Playstation 2. Now get out there and enjoy your new gaming purchase.

When the October 4th 2005 X 05 events were going on in Amsterdam all in the gaming industry realized that the microsoft will announce for the release of its Xbox 360 games in North America and Europe. But to everyones surprise microsoft didnt did so and that led to the confusion in the minds of many people.

However, the corporate vice president of Xbox marketing and publishing, Peter Moore told the masses that there are two hundred xbox 360 games in development phase that are one of the best games ever designed. He also stated that they would organize the best launch lineup of xbox 360 that has not been done ever in this industry. Peter Moore refused to declare the list of all the games that would be available for sale in November 22 during the launch of the xbox 360. This launch is to be held in the United States.

As if this was not enough, one more press release by microsoft titled Xbox 360 launch line-up announced has added to more confusion. Three first party games are listed in the press release under the heading of an impressive Christmas holiday portfolio. The games that are listed are Kameio Elements of Power, Perfect Dark Zero and Project Gotham racing 3. The next catalogue of games under heading of the other great games announced or shown at X05 consists of games like Too Human, Crackdown, fifa 06, Saints row and many more. In the third category the games were included under the heading of the franchise titles that will make their debut on xbox 360 that consists of games like Tom Clancys splinter Cell 4, superman Returns: The Videogame, call of duty 2 and many more such games.

The main confusion is that most of these games have 2006 release dates. Moreover some of the games that are announced would be impossible to be added into the xbox 360 launch lineup that is opposite to the title indicated in press release.

To add to the confusion, when director of platform marketing for the xbox 360, David Reid was asked about the available games during the launch then he stated that only fifteen to twenty Xbox 360 titles will be launched in November and the next halfdozen would be available next year. According to David Reid, only eight games would be available in November, namely, Need for speed Most Wanted, FIFA 06: Road to FIFA world Cup, Project Gotham racing 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, Madden nfl 06, NBA live 06 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06. Remaining seven games that would be available in November will be announced by him in the next few weeks. He stated that those games are in the final stages of certification referring to the quality assurance process all games have to go through before they are available in the market. He also confirmed that if any game is unable to pass the certification then that game may not be available for sale in November Xbox 360 launch.

The main problem is that the decision to rush games is for the reason that the company wants to take the advantage of the holiday sales season. The other reason is that the gamer in todays world can analyze whether the game was rushed that may result in the destruction of the reputation of the game. Now there are only tow conditions, either the Xbox 360 games would be a great success or a big failure. All this is due to the excessive pre release publicity of Xbox 360.

Although the three games that microsoft assures would be available on the release dates but when it comes to the remaining twelve titles all confusion prevails. It is thought that even if the Xbox 360 is spared the proposed ps3 would be under the same trap of questions.

The best way to know about the release of Xbox 360 is to wait and watch. Here we are in a state of confusion whereas on the other hand the microsoft is fueling the market for the sale of its Xbox 360 games.
