Showing 1-10 of 54 items

Shadow of the Colossus

1. Shadow of the Colossus

The first game I played on my PS2,and what a way to start it all. This game is an experience. Once you learn how to climb and kill a colossus you will want to continue doing it for as long as you can. Sadly, as all games, it must end at some point and when it dose, you will remember it for the rest of your life. Nr. 1 game on the PS2. ******

Haunting Ground

2. Haunting Ground

My second game on the PS2,a game I have never heard of untill the day I received it as a presant for my B-day from my very best best friend (freezermanhero).This is a hidden gem on the console,a horror game that uses the "run and and hide" mecanism (one of my favorits).While not the scariest it is creepy and unsettling,and has personality. ****

Final Fantasy XII

3. Final Fantasy XII

The first JRPG I played (I know,I live a sad life),this game was called many things by series fans,but I would say that it is one of the best games I have played on the console.Gues this is the advatage of a newcomer to the series,I don't have all those other good games keeping me from enjoying this one. ****

Jak II

4. Jak II

I have not played the first,but this one really impressed me.A good story,likable characters,great platforming,very challanging and a nice open world.Jak II is a perfect platforming cocktail. ****

Jak 3

5. Jak 3

While it did not stick with me as much as nr. II (probably because of the dumbed down difficulty),this game still has it's high notes.I feel they went with a more epic feel,which is def. present some times,but they left some fun parts out,and some that were added did not feel just right.Anyway still a good game. ****

Gran Turismo 4

6. Gran Turismo 4

Probably the only driving game to give me a hard time,even finnishing a race was difficult.This game is a tad to complex for my tastes,when it comes to cars.But I can see a lot people liking what this game has to offer and so it,at least, has my respect. ***

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

7. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

What is there to say,the ultimate stealth gaming experience.Hidding thru the forest is lots of fun,boss battles are a dream and the story rivals that of any James Bond movie I have seen.Also very pleasing graphics,amazing sounds (really do sounds like a forest) and great gameplay plus tons of easter eggs and extra things to find.Oh and I didn't mention the characters...they kick ass :D *****

Black

8. Black

Best FPS on the Playstation 2,gameplay and graphics wise.If this game would have combined with Killzone,it would have been GOTY for sure. ****

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

9. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Sadly I played it after Snake Eater so it was a bit underwhelmed,but it was still a very enjoyable game.This is where the strong story of the series was formed,and it shows,it is very complex but those with an active brain will enjoy it.Boss battles are ok but not as good as 3,and the stealth aspect is more based on hidding behing objects then fooling your enemies like in 3.Overall you cannot deny it beeing a good game,but it is significantly weaker then 3. ****

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

10. Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

After seeing that I really enjoy JRPGs,I decided to get this game.It has a very simple plot but very well executed,characters are simple but memorable as well.Some very silly enemies(that mean business) and amazing cell-shaded graphics this is an old school RPG at heart that will impress,inspire and maybe even enrage others. ****
