Top Five Playstation 2 Games for the Fall

After nine long and productive years on the market, the Playstation 2 is finally showing its age with its lack of quality games this fall. Still, the most successful video game console of all time has some good life left in it. Here are the top five Playstation 2 games of the fall.

5. Dokapon Kingdom
^{Publisher: Atlus, Developer: Sting, Release Date: October 14, ESRB Rating: RP}
Publisher Atlus is known for publishing quirky Japanese games. Their latest effort, Dokapon Kingdom, combines a board game with role-playing elements. It is similar to the Mario Party franchise except that the gameplay in this game is deeper. Up to four players can battle it out in the unique and entertaining experience Dokapon Kingdom offers.

4. NBA Live 09
^{Publisher: EA Sports, Developer: EA Canada, Release Date: October 7, ESRB Rating: RP}
One of the biggest rivals in the game industry is between NBA Live and NBA 2K. While NBA took the crown last year, NBA Live 09 is making significant strides this year. Brand new features include Be a Pro and Player DNA while improvements have been made for practice and dynasty modes. NBA Live 09 is bound to take the crown as the best basketball video game this year for the Playstation 2.

3. Warriors Orochi 2
^{Publisher: KOEI, Developer: Omega Force, Release Date: June 29, ESRB Rating: RP}
KOEI's popular crossover game returns to the Playstation 2 for more hack-and-slash mayhem. With the combined roster of legendary characters from Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi 2 features the best the two franchises have to offer. This Playstation 2 game also adds new team attacks as well as versus modes. With over 90 playable characters, Warriors Orochi 2 is well worth the price.
