PS2 is practically the best console of all-time. The library is endless, there are games for literally everybody. Somebody who says they don't like the PS2 is somebody who says they don't like video games.

The original Red Faction was loads of fun. The story is intriguing, the environments are destructible (most of them), and the weaponry is badass. Check it out. Red Faction 2 has better multiplayer, but I hear the single player isn't as fun.

Ico is one of the most undersold games of all-time; truly a piece of software that deserves to be up there with Gran Turismo 3 and the GTA's in terms of sales. The game is a work of art and a simple description will only insult the true beauty of the game. Try and find it, and play it all the way through.

Tekken Tag Tournament is loads of fun with 4 people, plus is probably the best all-around Tekken game available on the PS2. Tekken 5 was pretty badass, too.

The NBA Street games are fantastic as well, kind of like NBA Jam, but not as crazy, and the game is more so focused on tricks and what have you. Try and find Volume 3.


Dude, I could go forever and ever. The best bet is to first go on over to the review section at IGN, and look at all the games that have received 9's (there's quite a few). Then ask us if the game is truly good or not.

I highly recommend Shadow of the Colossus and Resident Evil 4. For platformers, check out the Sly Cooper series, the Ratchet and Clank series, and Jak 1-3.

This should also help you get started! (check 3 posts down for a list of good cheap games)

That'll keep you going for a few weeks.

Silent Hill 3, that's a must. But you'll miss half the story if you haven't played the first one through, and through.

PC version is lightyears better, though. And its an oldie, so most PC's will probably handle it.
