The March OPM has some demos of games mentioned in this thread.

Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams seems awesome. I'm feeling a little burnt out on the series but this looks like the most refined one yet in gameplay and graphics. Switching between two characters mid-battle is new.

Sonic Riders seems decent but I thought it would be a bit more intense like the Sonic/Shadow levels in the Adventure games. It could just be the PS2 version though as it slows down at parts.

There are also demos of the Drakengard 2 and the new Shadow Hearts game among others like Shadow the Hedgehog, State of Emergency 2 and TOCA 3.

Tales of the Abyss deserves mention.

All the impressions I've read said that it was a nice save after the so-so Oni 3.

All the same, I think they need to lay off on the "new Onimusha every 16 months" thing.

When it sells a million in Japan alone each time, I don't think that's gonna happen.

Beatmania IIDX is still coming to US PS2s, unless that got canceled. Haven't heard about it in a while.

I almost picked up that issue of OPM for the demo disc. I decided against it since the Xbox version is probably the one I'll get for Sonic Riders. It's one of the few upcoming games for current systems (along with Okami, Twilight Princess, LCS PS2, and TOCA 3) that I'm really looking forward to.
