Great news people. We have been informed that the release of Jak and Daxter for the Playstation 2 has come forward by a week and will be in most stores tomorrow. It was reported last week that the release date had come forward in Europe, but we have only received confirmation today that it will be released here at the same time. This game looks simply superb, and is my pick for the biggest seller this Xmas. Keep an eye out for Sonys new J&D TV campaign, "Time For A New Legend", which starts shortly.
