    Default PS2 Recommendations

    Okay, first off the games I already own:

    Disgaea Afternoon of Darkness for PSP (although not PS2, putting it up here because it completely removes any reason to own Hour of Darkness)

    Final Fantasy X (NO WAI!)

    Final Fantasy XII (Ya rly)

    Tales of the Abyss (Awesome, awesome game)

    Kingdom Hearts 1+2 (Don't care about them to be honest)

    Jak 2 and Jak 3 (Awesome action games)

    Xenosaga 1 (eh, terrible pacing, otherwise good)

    Dragon Quest VIII

    Dark Cloud 2 (enjoyable)

    Metal Gears Solid 3: Snake Eater (the oddball of my collection)


    Okay, so that aside. Now there are a few things to consider. I will be renting games from gamefly (so no due dates). Nothing big, but if the title is VERY obscure, it won't be on there. But very rarely that will happen. Second, I cannot play any games will frontal nudity. That means no God of War (since it does have frontal nudity for two sidequests IIRC). Oh, and I like RPGs and do not care much for stealth shooters (or shooters in general). Anyways, here are the games I plan on renting for the PS2:


    Persona 3
    Radiata Stories
    Shadow of the Colossus
    Ratchet and Clank (and sequels)
    Valkyrie Profile 2
    ICO
    Odin Sphere
    Rogue Galaxy
    Dark Cloud
    Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
    Shadow Hearts
    Shadow Hearts: Covenent
    Shadow Hearts: From the New World
    Digital Devil Saga
    Digital Devil Saga 2
    Xenosaga 2
    Xenosaga 3
    Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
    Atelier Aris 1-3
    Disgaea 2

    I also tried Okami, but didn't like it for whatever reason. May try it agian when the Wii version comes out.

    So, aside from those games, are there any PS2 gamse you would recommend?

    My PS2 went ignored for the most part since I got it very late, and even then played very few games on it. It isn't until recently I started to pay attention to it

    Those are the only two games that come to mind that you don't already have listed. :P Well, there's Metal Gear Solid 2.

    Must reply before somebody says God of War!

    You could try Devil May Cry 3 if you're into action games. Besides showing off Dante's tits, there's no nudity in it...I think.

    Silent Hill 2 and 3? :3

    FFXIV Character

    Ekhi Ysengrim (Brynhildr)

    Tales of Legendia is really good too. It gets bashed for not having voice acting in the second part and long battles, but it has one of the best casts of characters. Except for Shirley, she can go off and die or something.

    I see no GTA in your collection and that's very bad get the GTA trilogy pack for 29.99 just $10 a game, OMG! Tekken 5 is pretty good as are SSX tricky and Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits too.

    Katamari Damacy is a good suggestion.

    The Jak series is fantastic, and if you liked them you may like the Ratchet and Clank series. They're somewhat similar.

    No and no. It takes all of the advancements made by Tales of Symphonia and throws them away. I don't even see how Legendia can be considered PLAYABLE after playing Abyss.

    You have mentioned Shadow of the Colossus, so I'm satisfied. But you could try Castlevania's games, or Onimusha, specially the Third one. Drakengard 1 and 2, Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X... Those are the only ones that come to my mind in this moment.

    Shadow of the Colossus and Ico are both beautiful games. I hear good things about Dark Cloud, Shadow Hearts (has a sort of gothic them I hear, like real gothic) and Atelier Aris. If you were to get GTA, you'd only need one of them, I hear good things about Dual Hearts, very mixed things about Magna Carta and very good things about Suikoden.

    If you enjoyed Jak 2 and 3 then why not get the first game in the series. Its easily the best.

    And screw renting Ico, buy the damn game!

    Make sure you get GTA: San Andreas. It's a must have collectable's item.
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.
