Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2)
Release Date: December 9th

Think the PlayStation 2 is dead, huh? Well just ask developer/publisher Atlus and you will find out that you are dead wrong. Persona 3 FES for the PS2 was the 4th best game (according to metascores) in April ’08, which just so happened to be the same month that the mammoth GTAIV hit store shelves. How’s that for a dead console?

Persona 4 promises to deliver the time-tested gameplay that faithful fans have come to love and expect, with a new, direct-control option for support characters, a number of special attacks, and, of course, the titular Personas. A new weather system affects in-game events, and the huge cast of characters really flesh out yet another in-depth storyline for players to enjoy. If you’ve got a PS2 hanging around somewhere, make sure you grab this one next week.
