For years we have been jealous here in the US and even a little bit edgy because of the fact that the Japanese get so many more interesting games then us. Two such games go by the names of Mister Mosquito and Mad Maestro. Besides having the most interesting titles of any game in recent memory, they also encompass gameplay that is... different. And by different I mean in a good way.

The only real similarity between these two titles and every other PS2 title here in the states is just that, it's for the PlayStation 2. That's where the similarities end folks.

J. Fresh[/div][/td][td]J. Fresh, Eidos's Official Spokesperson for Fresh Games (you'll also see him in a fair amount of TV and magazine ads), serves as the person who will change games as we know them. Not just because of his gangsta walks and gangsta talks, but because he brings with him a freshness not seen since the days of the 16-bit era. Games that you can't say "oh, this is just another [game name]."[/td][/tr][/table]
Below are several screenshots supplied to us by Eidos, as both games noted above are shipping today.
