GR:AW 2 on PSP?
Posted by Rocky on Wednesday, November 22 2006
Gamespot news report that their online store is taking pre-orders for Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter 2 for the PC and Xbox 360, and perhaps surprisngly, the PSP. Since that report however the PSP order page has been taken down, leaving us guessing whether or not the Ghosts really are about to venture into portable terrirory once again (remember Ghost Recon N-Gage?). GameInformer however still ahve a GRAW2 PSP page up here. Forum discussion here. (Note : Ubisoft have not circulated GR:AW2 release dates at this time, so any dates you read are probably speculative!)
