What's Up. I got ATV Road Fury from Blockbuster, and it didn't
work on my PS 2. So, I figured it was a lemon, then bought a new
one, which also didnt work. I returned it to the store, and told
them what happened, and they said a couple other people brought that
same game back and said it had done the same thing to them, and that
ATV Road Fury, as well as 2-3 other games, dont work with some PS 2
systems because of programming gaffes. Also, some old DVD's that
have been out for awhile, like Animal House and Usual Suspects, dont
work as well, but the newer ones do. Ever hear of this???????? Help
me out bro!!!
Joe: I don't think a handful of games are incompatible with some
PS2s. At least due to programming bugs, but possibly because of a
faulty PS2 lens (highly unlikely) or just a bad DVD/CD disc (which
is very possible considering a rental outlet would have multiple
people handling a game and would therefore heighten the game's
chances of being scratched).
As far as your DVD question goes, there have been many cases on
some DVDs that refuse to play on certain PS2s. There isn't a
straight reason for this so far. I personally have never encountered
a problem with a DVD on my PS2 [Ed: nor have I], but your
case is obviously difference. You may just deal with certain DVDs
that might not just work.

Since both Gamecube and Xbox will be getting Madden 2002, and
they won’t be out until November, will EA Sports delay the PS2
release until nov. so they all ship together? Or will it come out at
the beginning of the NFL season like it usually does?
Joe: Nope, Madden 2002 should be hitting shelves right on time
for opening kickoff of the season. Expect it to ship in the last
week of August.

What ps2 wheel would you recommend I use to play Gran Turismo 3
with?
Joe: Unquestionably Logitech’s GT Force. It was designed with
GT3 in mind, and from most hands-on reports it plays well with the
game.

Does Capcom have any new Resident Evil games in the works?
Joe: Currently the next step in the series, RE4, hasn’t been
officially announced. However, keep your eyes on their next game of
the same mold, Devil May Cry.

Howdy,
I really enjoy NASCAR, and the PlayStation 2 seems to have quite
a few NASCAR games. Of the bunch which won would you recommend I
pick up?
Joe: From my experiences the most fun title so far would be
NASCAR Heat.
