playstation 2

Advantages: lots of fun for kids
Disadvantages: can easily spend to much time on it

...I have to say I am a great fan of the playstation 2, my son has one and he loves to play it, as do I. Although I tend to limit the time he spends on it. I cant really find anything bad about the ps2, but lately it has been partly to blame for a few problems in my family, my younger brother who is 15 years old first got his when he was about 8 years old, he was over the moon, my mother also put a limit on the time he would spend on it. He was fine with this, he was`nt really a child who went out a lot so most of his time was spent on the playstation or having a chin wag with anyone who would listen, he was always very smart and sensible. (or so we thought) Since then he has gathered up lots of games and still enjoys playing on the ps2, but he moved in with his father when he was 14, this is were the problem began as he started to...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2)

HAS THE PLAYSTATION 2 BEEN ON THE ATKINS DIET!

Advantages: Smaller, quieter, sleaker
Disadvantages: Two controllers instead of one would be nice

Since those bygone days many consoles have come and gone with battles being thought between the likes of Sega and Nintendo to be top dog in the world of video gaming. All that has passed before though is the mere under-card to the battle royal being fought here and now between Sony and Microsoft to be the undisputed king in the eyes of the joypad waggling generation with their Playstation 2 and Xbox consoles. When faced with the choice of buying one or t`other I came to the conclusion that although the Xbox was superior in graphics and potential exclusive games the PS2 was the only choice for the shear size of the back catalogue of games and strong support from third party...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

Playstation 2 & Remote Control Review

Advantages: Price, Games, Graphics, DVD,
Disadvantages: Design(?)

...With the huge success of the original Playstation console, it was inevitable that Sony would capitalise on its success and produce a successor to take the gaming community into the next generation of consoles. The likes of Sega pulling out of the race, with their failed Dreamcast machine, and with Nintendo's 64 console restricting their market to a cartridge based box meant that the Playstation 2 and it's DVD based setup looked to be a certain hit from the outset. All this may be well and good but it can only become a reality to the bean counters when the product is actually out on the market and selling well. The PS2 has now entrenched itself as 'the' console of choice for 2001. It's newly developed emotion chip engine provides developers with the freedom to really let their imagination run wild in their games and produce the most...
