i like carpet

@neil_likes_bums carpet is good!

Just hope fatal inersia is good, the space racer genera is somewhat bereft at the mo

This will squash all of the fighters from Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors under one roof

That is a hell of a lot of characters, hope there is tactical elements like the Empires versions of these games, can't get enough of them at the moment :-)

Musou Orochi (or Ororchi Warriors) is really great on the PS2. Not only does in slam together all the warriors, it adds the ability to switch between three fighters during combat and takes the Samurai Warrirors 2 level up system another step closer to RPG by allowing players to distribute the points.
It's great that it's coming out on the Next gen consoles and not just PS2.

Not that you'll be able to tell the difference:-(

Do the DDS (SMT/Digital Devil Saga/Devil Summoner) games work back comp. on PS3? It's just the official list doesn't even MENTION THESE GAMES AT ALL!... 8(

On happier matters; how similar is Orochi to DW? Is Orochi an RPG, but featuring characters from the two series, or is there still a war going on, out there?

Lucifer's Call works on PS3. I've got the US DDS so I can't check those. Hopefully Devil Summoner will work.

Oh yes you can. Trust me on a HDTV, the PS2 version looks pretty bad. I was really praying it was gonna come out on at least the 360 and PS2 if not the PS3.

It uses the same base material as DW (The same way Samurai Warriors does) but it adds a lot and changes a lot. The biggest change being (and most important to a lot of non-DW fans) that you wont be fighting the battle of ChiBi, or Guan Yu's escape or He Fei Castle (not that those are bad) but intstead it's a completely original story that allies character from DW with SW.
Personally I really want a triple team of Sima Yi, Zhang He and Ranmaru :)

The difference in the Wii version of G1 Jockey is that you use the remote and nunchuk as the reins and whip, I'm not sure what else anyone could really ask for.

Glad I decided not to pick up Musou Orochi on PS2 now, it would have only meant spending too much money to buy the treasure box, now I can wait for a shiny HD version.
