What games were released for the PS2 in China during the Console Ban? (if any)
This Kotaku article from 2013 mentions that:
The PS2 didn't make its original launch date. Instead, Sony waited till 2004 to launch the PS2 in China. Even then, there were issues with game releases, which also required government approval. In total, ten games were released for the PS2 in China—the PS2 was also launched in Hong Kong and Taiwan at around the same time, but with over 300 titles.
What are those 10 games released in China? If any were released at all.
