As we sit basking in the musty summer haze that chuffs through our office windows, minds are inevitably wandering onto thoughts of Christmas and crisp winter chills. And so SCEE’s Q4 release schedule has been received with unparalleled glee. Every PS2 owner will be getting to grips with at least one of these titles, or possibly all of them. Apart from the absolutely massive, hugely anticipated uber-blockbusters like Gran Turismo 4, Killzone, The Getaway 2, Jak 3 and Ratchet and Clank 3, SCEE have also got the non-gaming audience locked in their sights.

Dj –Decks & FX, and Eyetoy Play 2 will be what festive office parties are made of this year, and these same titles might also help sell a few consoles to folk who hadn’t entertained the idea before. As for Jackie Chan Adventures – it’s got much to live up to, to warrant its position nestling alongside what will be some of the PS2’s greatest ever titles.
