[Phalanx]

Trialled (hired) a couple games last night for ps2.

Need for Speed: Carbon. The girl plays those...wanted to see if she could get the hang of them on the ps2, as we've only had them on pc thus far, as I thought, the ps2 had easier to use controlls, as per GTA.
Seems like an alright game, much the same as the rest of them with a few extra features thrown in...oh, and the guy from battlestar galactica.

YAKUZA - Pretty decent...feels a bit like Shenmue meets GTA meets The Warriors. Decent storyline. I'll probably get this eventually as it seems like a game I'd be willing to play through, despite 2 annoying factors.
1: For some reason there's subtitles over the words written in the game, even though they're in english. Turning the subs off only worked for the audio conversations in the fmvs and ingame.
2: It loads every 2 minutes. It's like you play a tiny little portion, and then it has to load yet again. Too much of that shit.
However, it's not a bad game...a little arcadey, but fun...like I said, this'll be an eventual purchase for me...Going to EB today to grab a couple games for trade-in.
