A lot of people have been complaining that none of the PS2 launch titles really tap the power of the Emotion Engine. Well, complain no longer. Your friends at Konami have tapped the PlayStation 2's huge well of power to bring you arcade-perfect renditions of the SNES-era shooters Gradius III and Gradius IV. You'll shoot waves upon waves of enemies in full 2D glory and 16-bit color as the PS2 cranks out these two classic blast-em-ups. Finally, someone's putting the immense power of the new PlayStation to good use. The history lesson begins this fall.
