Welcome to Shipping Out, our weekly notice of all them thar games that ship from publishers to retailers in preparation for their street date a day later. In many cases, these games won't be on store shelves until tomorrow, but in the interest of getting the word out, letting the PR departments have their fancy quotes and saving us sanity as the weekly releases pile up, we're going to be consolidating everything down into one handy little news story at the end of the day, along with this description. Neat, eh? And lazy!

It's the TPS way.

[PlayStation 2]
[Yakuza 2]
If for some reason you missed out on SEGA's original fantastic Japanese crime drama, you have no excuse to check it out now. We're telling you, yes you, the person reading this right now, that you need to buy the game. Why? Well, for one it's awesome. Secondly, SEGA needs to be rewarded for finally kicking out a game that everyone can be genuinely excited for instead of a bunch of mascot rehashes. Seriously, go buy this game. You can read our review in a few days to reassure you that you made the right move.

Publishers: want to make sure we've got your games in our weekly Shipping Out blurbs? Just kick over those shipping press releases to ShippingOut@TotalPlayStation.com and we'll make sure they get tossed into the rotation.
