Tales of the Abyss announced

PS2 News | Tales of the Abyss

If dungeon-delving, anime-style character designs and the phrase "real-time battles" are the kinds of things that turn your crank, then you'll want to keep an eye out for Tales of Abyss. Namco Bandai announced today that the latest chapter in its Tales series (Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Legendia, etc.) is coming to US PS2s. While it's not a sequel to any of the previous Tales games, Abyss will play a little like the GameCube Tales of Symphonia, in that you'll fight monsters in action-based ...

Konami is releasing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare this April but, with Ubisoft snapping up the rights to create a game based on the upcoming Turtles computer animated feature film, this may be the last in the current series.

Fur to fly in Tekken 5?

PS2 News | Tekken 5

Don't fret, Namco - those masters of arcade battery - haven't opted to make Tekken 5 into a Super Smash Bros style fury free-for-all. Instead these latest screens from the upcoming coin-op reveal a piratical version of Jack and a cartoon King complete with cutesy eyes and fluffy ears. The reason for the change is a brand new system of interchangeable cards that will let you customise one of the 20 characters and take them in your iron fist from arcade bout to coin-op battle. So the more wins ...
