...Playstation 2 reccomendations...; 7 years seems long enough.

Well, as some of you know. I hate Sony. With a fiery fucking passion. BUT! I have decided that the concentration of my rage has been on the PSP and PS3, not as much the PS2. So I have decided to end my 7 year embargo of Sony products for the purchase of one Playstation 2.

My request to you lovely (and handsome) people of Gamer's Abyss 42, is what should I get for my soon-to-be system?

In terms of gaming interests, I'm pretty open minded. I do not like racing games or sports games, but other than that I'm good. As for RPGs I'm mainly a Final Fantasy guy so...yeah.

Anyway, I'd very much like to hear what you guys have got. Here is my list of hopeful purchases so far.

-Final Fantasy 7,8,9,10 and 12
-METAL GEAR?! 1, 2 and 3
-Katamari Damacy
-We Love Katamari
-Ratchet and Clank 1 and 2
-Shadow of the Colossus
-Ico

It's a small list, but help expand it GA42, don't let me down! ^^

That small list wound definitely be a good start to anyones collection!

I'd also recommend -

Okami
Gradius 5
Suikoden 3
Virtua Fighter 4 Evo
Phantom Brave
Gitaroo Man

There are of course loads more great games out there, but I thought those would give you some variety to your collection.

Okami really is special - it isn't difficult, not by any means, but I've had more enjoyment out of that game than I have with any other for months. Shadow of the Colossus and ICO are also highly recommended too. If you do get both of them, play ICO first, but it isn't that important to play it first that you should leave SotC until you have. I would however leave MGS2 until you have play the first one - there's a lot in there that will loose it's significance otherwise. MGS3 is pretty much standalone so go for that one whenever you like!

I've played and completed all three MGSs. I'm buying them for collection and replay mostly. But I do love Metal Gear Solid.

Oh, I just remembered. I'm getting DDR Extreme 1 and 2, and Guitar Hero 1 and 2.

EDIT - Actually Renegade, Burnout Revenge is really fun. Thanks for reminding me!

I can't believe I forgot! Devil May Cry 3 is awesome, and normally I'm completely unfussed about games like that. Same goes for Zone of the Enders 2 - I really need to buy that again...

Eh, I'll just stop there.

EDIT: Crap on a stick, how the hell could I forget the Legacy of Kain series?! Add Blood Omen, Soul Reaver 1 + 2, and Defiance to that list!!!! Actually, the Dreamcast has the best version of Soul Reaver 1, but if that's not an option, the PS1 version still rules too.

While I think it's totally awesome that you know my tastes, I think SC3 is horrid.

Thank you so much guys! This really helps me alot. I had alot of games in my mind but I forgot and you pretty much reminded me of all of them.

I love you guys. ;-;
