Playstation 2 owners will finally get to sample the two dimensional delights of Viewtiful Joe; the Megaman and Street Fighter series are making comebacks; Resident Evil 4 is shaping up to be the best in the series so far, and the likes of Shadow Of Rome and Killer 7 could be huge hits if they can deliver their full potential.
