PS2 Release Dates - August, 2006

Traditionally a slow month, this August brings us a conricopia og gaming goodness to feast upon. We get two pirate games, sequels to some of the best loved RPGs of all time (Xenosaga, Disgaea, and Final Fantasy VII!) and Madden 07. Despite the looming PS3 release (November), the PS2 shows no sign of slowing down, and may live as long as the PS1 did, four to five years into its sucessor's life-cycle. This is going to be one of the busiest Augusts yet for gamers.

The order of the list is: Date - Title - Publisher - Genre. Clicking the title of the game will take you to a page of screenshots and other details about the game.
