Activision has announced today that Guitar Hero: World Tour for the Playstation 2 has finally shipped to retail stores making it available for purchase as early as tomorrow! For those people who are stuck in the Playstation 2 system and been waiting for this game, now is the time to go to your local retailers and purchase it!

“The Guitar Hero World Tour band game is clearly a must have item this holiday season with launch quantities for the next-generation console bundles virtually sold out across the retail channel after only the first week,” said Mike Griffith, President and CEO, Activision Publishing. “As expected, our initial launch quantities were limited due to early supply constraints and launching the PlayStation 2 sku a week later than last year, but we will be steadily replenishing the supply throughout the quarter.”

NIS America announced this morning that Ar Tonelico 2 was heading to the US this year for the Playstation 2. Ar Tonelico 2 is a sequel to the first Ar Tonelico game which is a sim-RPG game.

“Developed and published in Japan by Banpresto Co., Ltd., Ar tonelico 2 marks a new approach to the RPG genre by seamlessly combining simulation with role-playing.  Gamers can not only customize weapons and items, but now design their character’s personalities, skills, and appearance through virtual interaction.  Also past events will intersect with future game play as well as the outcome of the game.”
