PlayStation2 (PS2) was made by Sony, a Japanese technical giant.  Sony makes almost everything that you could think of that is electronic, including TV's, CD players, and even the huge Jumbotron monitor at Heinz Field.  Sony has had success before at making console games with their past system, PlayStation.  PS2 is the most popular system of the three newest consoles, as many people were lined up in front of the electronics store the morning it was released.  PS2 can also play DVD's and CD's.  

Twisted Metal Black is the latest part of a long series of Twisted Metal games that were made for the original PlayStation.  The objective in many of these games is to drive around in a deadly weapon-filled car and blow up other deadly weapon-filled cars in a lengthy tournament.  The winner of the tournament gets any wish he/she wants granted.
