Page 1 of Playstation 2 game recommendations ?

Having relied for years on my good old PC, today I picked up a PS2 on the cheap. Can you kind people recommend your favourite games (any type) i.e. ones heavily hyped, well-reviewed, initially sold at £40 and now readily available 2nd-hand for a fiver.

(Alternatively, anyone know any PS2 sites with a back-catalogue of game reviews ?)

Many Thanks :)

How long`s a piece of string? ;)

Some of my faves available on PS2

Beyond Good and Evil
Devil May Cry 1& 3
God of War
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
Psychonauts
Freedom Fighters
Mercanaries
GTA Series
Viewtiful Joe
PoP series
Transformers

Depends what sort of game you like I enjoy,

GOD OF WAR

Pro Evo 6 (footie)

Bully (Canis Canem Edit or something) is a great game.

God of War (possibly the best game ever on the ps2 get it get it get it)

Hitman: Blood Money (killing people for money)

Shadows of colossus (bloody hard but great graphics)

NBA Ballers (good fun NBA game)

Burnout 3: Takedown (I love smashing other people off the road, only in a game tho)

Psi Ops: The mindgate conspiricy (awesome the power of your mid to kill people)

Thats all I can think off of the top of my head but there are a few more. Looking at Matthews post I never enjoyed the Metal Gear Solid series but lots of people love it. Ico I think is the prequel to Shadows of Colosuss.

You may be like me and hate all fantasy-style games.

My favourites are all reality based.

The `MotoGP` range of games
The `Call of Duty` range of games
I particularly enjoyed `The Great Escape` too.
`The Getaway` was quite enjoyable too.

Aside from Pro Evo, you just can`t beat Grand Theft Auto III for PS2. In my view, a historic game, it`s that good!

Recently picked up Guitar Hero 2 and it is well addictive and have been replaying Spartan Total Warrior as I like the idea of a lone Spartan warrior taking on pretty much the whole of the Roman army. Also
God of War
GTA Games
The Warriors

Long Live Rock & Roll
