The week fo November 21st, 2007 is a great week for the PS2

Last week was a pretty slow one for Playstation 2 New Releases, but this week will definitely make up for that with two expansion packs for MMORPG games and College Hoops 2K8. Check out the list below to see what's coming out for the PS2 next week.

Final Fantasy XI: Vanadiel Collection 2008 

The 2008 Vanadiel collection includes the following 4 different expansion packs: Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urghan, and Wings of the Goddess. This is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing game, so how you play is totally up to you, there is no storyline, but we're sure that you'll want to work at saving the final three nations left in the land of Vana'diel.

If you haven't started playing this game yet, this is the way to go and get everything right from the start. If you already own the first three expansion packs, then you'll want to purchase the Wings of the Goddess pack on its own for $10 less.

Rated T for Teen.

, also known as Final Fantasy XI Online, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square (later Square Enix) as part of the Final Fantasy series.

In April 2009, Square Enix announced that the total number of active characters exceeded 2 million for the first time in game history. Previously Square Enix had announced that more than 500,000 users, using more than one million characters, were playing the game as of January 2004. As of 2006, between 200,000 and 300,000 active players logged in per day, and the game remains the dominant MMORPG in Japan. As of 2008, in an announcement for three additional expansions in development, SE noted Final Fantasy XI still has a strong user base of around 500,000 subscribers. As of April 22nd, 2009 there are 2,000,000 active characters. Four expansions for the game have been released, capitalizing on the game's success.

Phantasy Star Universe: Amibition of Illuminus

Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus is the first expansion of SonicTeam's internationally popular online RPG Phantasy Star Universe, available for the PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360. Released initially in Japan on September 27, 2007, for PlayStation 2 and PC, subsequent territorial releases followed on November 20, 2007, when North America received the expansion for all three platforms. This date also marked the worldwide release of the Xbox 360 version as it was available for download through Microsoft's Xbox Live service. Europe received the PC and PlayStation 2 versions of Ambition of the Illuminus a few months later, on January 11, 2008, and finally it reached Australia on February 7, 2008.

Although it is an expansion pack, the PC and PlayStation 2 versions of Ambition of the Illuminus are standalone and do not require the original game to play. The Xbox 360 version, however, does require the original disc due to the expansion being downloadable content.

College Hoops 2K8 is a video game by Visual Concepts and 2K Sports. It was released on November 19, 2007 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3.

The cover features Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden, formerly of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Almost every school competing in Division I NCAA college basketball at the time was included in 2K8, including then recent D-1 additions South Carolina-Upstate, Cal State-Bakersfield and Florida Gulf Coast. Not included were Presbyterian College and North Carolina Central, D-1 independents. Also, Centenary College of the Summit League was unlicensed and instead named UL-Calcutta. The game also featured the ability to change and modify rosters and share them online via the newly introduced 2K Share feature. The real coaches feature was dropped from this game, possibly because the coaches chose not to renew their contracts and all of the coaches are unnamed.

The announcers featured in the game were Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery.

The series was put on hiatus in 2008 as 2K Sports declined to seek the college license for a 2K9 release. It is unknown if 2K has any plans to resume the series.
