Retail Radar: GRAW 2 on PSP, Sims 2: In Season
GameStop taking preorders for a portable installment of next Tom Clancy tactical shooter while EA's hit PC franchise is in for a storm.
Last month, Ubisoft revealed in its quarterly financial report that it was prepping Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for release early next year, but it didn't announce platforms for the title. Interestingly enough, online retailer GameStop is now taking preorders for the generally expected Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, as well as an edition for the PlayStation Portable. Beyond a shipping date of March 1, 2007 (likely a placeholder), and price tags of $59.99 (Xbox 360, PS3), $49.99 (PC), and $39.99 (PSP), the product listings contain no information on the game.
Elsewhere on the site is a listing for Web site The Sims 2: In Season, the next expansion pack to Electronic Arts' long-running hit franchise. Those excited at the prospect of having their sims hunt the most dangerous game of all (other sims, of course) shouldn't preorder just yet, as EA has teased that the next full-fledged add-on to the series will incorporate new weather elements.
However, the publisher hasn't offered much in the way of details as to the expansion pack's full scope. Sadly, the GameStop listing isn't much help--it's little more than a blank page with a late February 2007 shipping date and a $29.99 price tag.
Please note, while retailer listings frequently jump the gun on publishers' product announcements, they should not be taken as final confirmation of a game's existence, nor should the absence of a listing be considered as proof that a game isn't coming to a given platform.

GRAW on the PSP? Sounds awesome. Multiplayer on GRAW is pretty fun so having it portable too will be great

More The Sims 2 please! I really enjoy hearing about new things that can be added to this spectacular game... Yes, it's miliking costumers but you can't say that these expansions aren't good, right?

That's beacuse your judging GRAW as a Single Player game, play it multiplayer and see how it is without the dumb AI, it's very fun and there are tons of options and diffrent game modes on Multiplayer that I find there's almost no way to get bored of it.

Wow, just when I thought they couldn't add anything more for Sims 2, they do.

Graphics don't make a great game. Its a combination of all the game's components that do. I have yet to find a Ghost Recon game that is actually fun to play, in other words I personally (yes my opinion, no where have I stated that what I have said is absolute or fact) do not think the gameplay element of ghost recon games is very good. I have given the series multiple chances to change my opinion, but none so far have done it.
As for mario kart, eh its an ok game, not one I would spend much time playing though. Actually... where the hell does mario kart factor into all of this?! It seems this discussion is almost as random as an episode of family guy. Its just about as funny as an episode of family guy thats for sure.

I dunno... I thought GRAW on the PC was rather lacking. It was repetitive, and your AI allies were about as intelligent as tuna cans.

The fun thing about this news wasn't the news but the comments here on the board . lol .
Since Everyone is bashing out against Santas_hitman , I'm gonna take a Neutral position & consider the points made . GRAW was an awesome game - considering you played on xbox360 or PC , I Loved every second of it - but then I played the XBOX version & the PS2 ( ohh , yes I own all the consoles on the market - including PSP & gb & was lucky enough to play all the GR games on release ) - the PS2 & XBOX versions kinda sucked . So , if Santas_hitman is saying GRAW sucked based on that - ok , man I'm not gonna deny your point , but if you based your judgement on the PC or 360 version , boy do you need to get to check your head or what - then , obviously you are more suitable playing some game like mario cart or somethin rather than playin shooters in HD.

GRAW PC looked awesome in High Defintion. The singleplayer was good, but multiplayer sucked. UBI doesn't care about its consumers anymore. They shell out games now a days like cans of sodas. Tom Clancy should have never sold his titles to UBI. The games were much better under his management.

wow, the Sims is the most genius game ever created...they can make an expansion called "Sims 2: Cloged Toilets" allowing you to become a plumber and they'd still sell millions

Hehe I sure do love it when others can't accept the fact that someone has an opinion that doesn't agree with their own. Well first off kiddies, psp is not the only system I own. I own a ps2 and an xbox, and my pc is capable of playing the latest games as well. Secondly I did not ever buy a copy of ghost recon, I have rented various versions before for both ps2 and xbox (these rentals cost me 99 cents, so I am not bitter cause I lost money or anything). And yes I have tried GRAW as well. As for the peer pressure thing, that has to be the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Sure there is peer pressure to smoke cigs or to do drugs, but to buy a video game? Where the hell do you hang out?

i didnt want to believe the bashing of the xbox/ps2 versions of graw but it lacked a lot of things. hopefully they somehow make this game work great on psp. sims to sounds like an amazing idea for the psp.

oh and one last thing to you Santas_Hitman you own a psp with like 5 other people get a real system and play real games but i personally cannot wait for GRAW 2 the only thing i hope they fix is the insane brightness of the levels. once you play it in HD it makes parts of the game crazy hard just because screen is so bright.

Santas_Hitman obviously you have never played a previous GR game. they are fun especially if you take the time to appreciate it. i can the tell what you did.... you bought the game like thousands of other because it was the cool thing to do(aka peer pressure) then you played it and sucked at it therefore you call it not fun so HA! please play a game for what its worth before trashing it thank you

GRAW was terrible and GRAW 2 on PSP I don't think so. Hey I love my psp but there are just certain games that shouldn't be put on it and GRAW is one of em. Mind you if I had my way the ghost recon games wouldn't exist (cause I like my games to be fun thanks).

Well if it comes for all Systems that is good because the people that made it would make more money because of how many platforms that they launched....then again they'll be losing lots of money trying to take the games out!

Well I can't wait to see GRAW on the PSP. I hope it is a game that is not any thing like the other GRAW games.
