Top Spin

That's right folks, Top Spin is coming to the PS2 this summer with online play. No word yet on Links and Amped, but I really think Microsoft slipped up when they let these go. Good for everyone else, though.

Wow, I know Microsoft decided to stop (or take a break from) making their sports games, but I hadn't heard they'd actually let these franchises go. When did that happen?

And I agree, I think it may have been a silly move. Sure, they can always make other tennis, golf and snowboard games, but one shouldn't underestimate the power of a franchise...

I believe it happened last fall after they announced they were stopping theirs sports franchises. 2K Games (Take Two) bought the company that made these games and the rights to the franchises.

Re: Top Spin

An update on this: Top Spin 2 and Amped 3 have been announced for the XBOX 360. I still prefer Virtua Tennis to Top Spin, but still a very good game. These should both be really good titles.
