Playstation 2 Games

Recommended Posts

So I got around to buying a functioning PS2, as my old one was a launch PS2, meaning disk read errors galore. I'm scrounging through the bargin bins at Gamestop and EB and playing all the games that looked good that I never got a chance to try before. Here's what I have now:

Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3

Beyond Good and Evil

Silent Hill 2

XIII

Contra: Shattered Soldier

I'm gonna pick up Resident Evil 4 and Shadow of the Colossus soon. What else should I look in to? Recommend any games you enjoyed, I tend to like pretty much anything.

If you owned all the games on that list, you'd be sittin' pretty.

Oddly enough, though, Katamari Damacy is not there. Methinks that's a gross oversight.

Personally I think FF12 is better than FF10

That's a great place to start. Anyone of those games could keep you busy for a long while.

And like Atmuh said, DDR is good. I suggest Extreme 2 or 1. If they do not come with pads, I reccomend buying an Afterburner. Should last you a while.

Now if you're into FPSes, then 007: Agent Under Fire and Time Splitters 2 are both oldies but goodies. Oh crap, make sure to pick up SSX 3 as well. That's a great game

And the manditory list of fighting games you SHOULD buy:

1. SF:AC

2. SFA Anthology

3. Tekken Tag (already mentioned)

4. Capcom vs. SNK 2

5. KOF XI

6. VF 4: Evolution (already mentioned)

7. SC II/III (I like 2 more, but whatever.)

8. Tekken 5

9. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2

(that's all I can think of at the moment.)

Sega Classics Collection and Dragon Quest 8 are the best value a single 'game' has offered me.

I seem to repeat these games over and over, but Robot Alchemic Drive and SkyGunner are constantly overlooked games and I had just as much playing them as many other supposed AAA titles.

Other notable inclusions could be Xenosaga trilogy and Suikoden V. I can't believe that Suikoden 3 made the list since though it was an epic game, the little nags in the game made it drag out. Suikoden 3 wouldn't even make my top 30 PS2 games.

And I can't believe every lists on the planet ignores the Sly Cooper games. Way better than most Nintendo platformer efforts as of late.
