Pimp me a PS2 game...

I'm starting to get bored with MVP Baseball so I'm gonna pick up a few new games. ESPN Football 2K5 is already on my list, but what other games should I pick up? Thanks in advance.

Depends what genres you're interested in and what games you already have.

 

I'd recommend SD!: HCTP, FFX (FFX-2 is SO overrated), Kya: Dark Lineage and Baldur's Gate 2: Dark Alliance.

 

Oh, and if you want a major headache of a game with some very satifsying results (and you have about 300+ hours to blow), then pick up RPG Maker 2.

I have HCTP, which I love, but got bored with.

 

Here's my list of games (might show you what genres I'm into):

 

Agressive Inline

Smackdown Just Bring It

Smackdown Shut Your Mouth

Smackdown Here Comes the Pain

Grand Theft Auto 3

Grand Theft Auto Vice City

Unreal Tournament

Pride FC

Legends of Wrestling

Rune Viking Warlord

Gran Turisimo 3

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance

Madden 2002

Madden 2003

Madden 2004

Twisted Metal Black

State of Emergency

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2

NBA Street Vol. 2

NBA Live 2004

MVP Baseball 2003

MVP Baseball 2004

BloodRayne. The first few levels are boring - defeat zombies and swamp monsters! - but chopping and destroying everything is fun. It's when you get to Argentina that the game *really* picks up. Killing Nazis in all types of slicy-dicy ways....it's just amazing. Her twin-blades are just kick-ass, I think. Plus, when you destroy someone on your Target List, it goes all slo-moish. Which is awesome if you slice them to pieces, then watch in slo-mo as all the pieces fly about.

 

Yup. I'm sick and insane like that.

 

But for the less violent-inclined gamer, Ico is good. You can't understand a word Ico or the princess says, which is what makes it so, I don't know, charming? You have to get through the castle...but not let her die. She dies, you die. Plus, she opens doors mysteriously. So...she's needed. The game is just interesting in all the clever puzzles it presents.

Devil May Cry

NCAA Football 2005

Need for Speed Underground

SSX 3

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4, Tony Hawk's Underground

Posted

As a platform gamer, I recommend...

 

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

Jak II

PoP: Sands of Time (unless...you know...you have an X-Box)

Ratchet/Clank Going Commando

Klonoa 2 (if you can find it)

Mega Man Anniversary Collection

 

Fighters to get:

Guilty Gear X2

Virtua Fighter 4: Evo...if you actually like those games

*cough* Tekken Tag *cough*

Posted

Agreed, Tekken Tag is a better version and probably a hell of a lot cheaper these days anyway.

 

As far as I'm concerned, check out Dynasty Warriors 4. If you dig mindless death and LOTR-esque battle scenes, then this is the one for you. Deep as hell, too. It'll take you months upon months to unlock stages, level 10 weapons etc.

Thanks everyone. I will most likely be getting the following:

 

ESPN NFL 2K5

Need For Speed Underground

Tekken Tag Tournament

Timesplitters if I can find it

 

Also, how's Manhunt? I haven't played it yet.

Manhunt is an accquired taste, if you ask me. I love games like Metal Gear Solid, which is the system that Manhunt is largely based on. You do alot of sneaking, hiding and slaughtering. Outside of the inital shock factor, it's inferior to Konami's beast. Rent before you buy.

I dig Fight Night and Soulcalibur 2 quite a lot. Those are the most recent prestige games over at my buddy's place.

You want a better baseball game, ESPN Baseball. Now thats a baseball game.

I like MVP alot, it's just I get bored with games fast. I'll probably be playing it again come October, so there's no need for me to get another baseball game.

 

AoO, what's Soulcalibur 2 all about? From what I can tell, it's just Dead or Alive with swords and shit?

Some good PS2 Games which I enjoyed and are worth at least the rental:

 

Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City (best video game soundtrack compiled IMO)

Ratchett and Clank: Going Comando

Onimushu Warlords 3

Posted

RPG: FFX, Disgaea, Most Likely Star Ocean, from the buzz it's got. Kingdom Hearts.

Platform/Action: Both Ratchet and Clanks, Psi Ops (Really fun), MGS2 (not as good as the first, but now it's cheap!) Devil May Cry (NOT the sequel) ICO, Onimusha 3

Horror: Both Silent Hills, Fatal Frame 2.

Fighter: Tekken Tag, MvC2

Rhythm: Frequency, Amplitude, Space Channel 5

Twisted Metal Black is a good, cheap driving shooter.
