Latest PS2 purchases........... (I like bargains, me!)
Ace Combat : Squadron Leader (aka 'Ace Combat 5 : The Unsung War')
I've not played an earth based flightsim/shooter in some time, but this is quite a surprise... atmospheric/emotive gameplay & music (and a reasonable back-story - even if the countries are ficticious), a great bunch of characters/wingmen(& wingwomen), and impressively realistic graphics. (This is where I got my call sign for my sig!
)
Naval Ops : Warship Gunner
I was somewhat curious about this one......... Well, put aside the kooky plot (WWII destroyer fleet goes through trans-dimensional rift and ends up on a parallel Earth ruled by an oppressive Empire, and is drafted into a guerilla war against the odds....) and you have an entertaining shipborne strategy shooter (with an almost - insanely complex ship design suite - there are hundreds of components available to customise your creations... and there are some strange weapons too.... rail guns, plasma lasers, massive chain guns....?!)
