This week the game the RPG world has been waiting for over a decade arrives, much different than anyone might have expected, and all of the angst and posturing of the past couple of years will finally end &#8230; or at least transition to a new phase. The PS2 is back and still going strong with 15 new games, more than twice as many as the PS3, in a sign that Sony still has a major hitmaker on their hands even two years after the release of their &#8216;next gen&#8217; entry.Check out the rest of the list!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamingwithchildren.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/360.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1365\" title=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamingwithchildren.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/360.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"54\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fallout 3<\/li>\n<li>Guitar Hero World Tour<\/li>\n<li>Moto GP &#8217;08<\/li>\n<li>Scene It?
