After 13 long years of service, the PlayStation 2′s final title will be released this September before eventually being laid to rest in peace after a long and successful career.
I almost forgot that this year my favourite console turned 20, I feel like it deserved so much better. So come to memory lane and let me explain how it deserved so much better than the little it got.
PS2 will forever be the top-selling console of all time. Its unlikely any future console will ever surpass its sales.

That reminds me, I haven't played my PS2 in awhile. So many good memories with that console. I don't miss those cords with the controllers though
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
When thinking back on the best Playstation commercials ever made, the late Frank Budgen quickly comes to mind. Budgen was one of the commercial industry's most revered directors, before he passed away at age 61 in 2015 – and he made some of the most brilliant commercials the industry has ever seen.
R.I.P. PS2
