So many things you want to see, so many things you can't see. Ah, but NEWS broke Sunday evening all the way from Japan that set many a gamer's hair a spinning! (Can hair spin?) Below is the link to the BEST story! ----------- P l a y S t a t i o n (PSX) -- !!!!!!!!! SONY PLAYSTATION 2 !!!!!!!!!!

It's a look at MONSTER RANCHER 2 (MONSTER FARM in good ole Japan) and what's different between the old and the new. Then again, maybe it's a PREVIEW. Then again, maybe it's news cause it announces the release. -- http://www.gaming-intelligence.com/news/n990228a.html -- T'ai Fu - Preview Every once in awhile, this game shows its wacky head then quietly slips back into silence while we, a fighter crazed videogaming nation, hopes that one day the game will finally show up in stores. WELL WAIT NO mOrE! It looks like MARCH is the month. And, according to GameFAN, T'AI FU has gotten a major face lift.
