PlayStation 2 (PS2) Release Dates, March 2005

Ah, Winter gaming... how I love thee. Well, despite being pushed back and driving retailers and fanboys world-wide absolutely freakin' nuts, it looks like Tekken 5 and Gran Turismo 4 will actually be coming home with happy PS2 gamers this month. I can guarantee you will not be getting a copy in the first week if you do not run down to your local game store and reserve a copy now.

Of course, it's not just about Japanese imports this month. America is waving the the banner of freedom proudly with the much anticipated PS2 conversion of Full Spectrum Warrior as well as the further adventures of the graying Sam Fisher in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Be sure to splash out the extra coin and get the Limited Collector's Edition you'll be glad you did.

As is par for the course, below each date you will find the Title, then the Publisher, followed by the Genre for each game. Here's hoping you have a pile of old games to trade in, as there are a ton of hot PS2 titles this month. I know my shopping list overrunneth.
