PS2 Discussion

[TheIronRuler]

A nearby rental store is giving up on PS2 so they're making a sale on all of their game copies in two days. I need to get ready and find the best games I want to get there, just 5$ a game.
I turn to the escapist community for guidance, what should I get?

Bear in mind that the only games I have for the PS2 are:
GoW 1&2
DBZ Budokai
Tekken Tag Team
.
.
.

Every Genre is welcom as long as it's good.
What's "good" you ask me?
I shall be the judge of that.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Beyond good and evil
Any game by Team Ico
Smackdown: Here come the pain and shut your mouth
Jack and daxter plus jak 2 and 3
Soul Nomad and the world eaters (it funny as hell)
Metal Gear solid 3
Under the skin
Kingdom hearts 1 and 2.
Black


I think that's all from me.

[Laser Priest]

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and more importantly Star Wars Battlefront II.

The two main reasons I still own my PS2.

 

[Swifteye]

There is a countless amount of ps2 games to buy that would be worth your time so many classics so little cash. Just buy the ps2 and get yourself a ebay account. If there not in a store there in ebay or amazon or even certain retail sites.

Although you could always hedge your bets and wait to see if ps2 classics emerge in the PSN I mean it's bound to be any day now.
