The Extortionist at E4G writes "Ratings guru Nielsen, which has a fledgling gaming popularity/ratings service now, has published its final statistics for April 2009. The shocking conclusion: The most popular game console - based on minutes spent playing during the course of the month - is none of the current consoles but rather Sony's venerable PlayStation 2. That's a real testament to the phenomenal staying power of the little black system, with 21.6 percent of all gaming minutes during the month spent playing it."

“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
Ha, this is stupid this is the world, and who cares if the world is more accurate it's the US that matters.
This is good news and the PS2 may just be one of the longest running gaming system... ever.
PS2 is unstoppable. :p
the only reason it's still alive is because sony keeps wanting Shovelware to be made for it and the fact that it has nothing but PSP ports mrv321 your wrong dead wrong Atari 2600 lasted until 1992 and it came out sometime in the 70's there is absoultly no way the PS2 is going to beat it because it's already running out of steam and it hasn't even been 10 years yet
Right?
The greatest game console ever created. I have my old ps2 standing boldly on the shelf gazing down at it's successor... shining in the light of the golden sun, as if to say "Make me proud". And as i pick up my DS3 and press the psbutton, the ps3 turns on and boots up KZ2 as if to say, "Watch me".
Overly dramatic?
