PlayStation 2 (PS2) Release Dates, April 2005

Time to put down your Dual Shock 2, get out there and see the cherry blossoms. Then get back inside and get to work, 'cuz you've got plenty of gaming to get through this April.

I cannot tell you how pumped I am about Psychonauts. This is a gaming I've been tracking for a couple of years. When it met Microsoft's foul axe, I thought it was done for, but this intelligent platformer has been picked up by the lovable folks at Majesco (thank you!) and now will be available on the PS2. Take that Redmond!

As usual, the order is Title, then the Publisher, followed by the Genre for each game. April brings a surprisingly good bouquet of games to us, so stay inside and enjoy the goodness.
