    Slinter Cell Chaos Theory and God of War came out recently and they look pretty badass.
    Is Chaos Theory on PS2? Last I heard (six months ago...yeah) it was supposed to have some system raping graphics that made it Xbox/PC exclusive.

    I tried borrowing Katamari Damacy from a friend, but it wouldn't work on my PS2. The console wouldn't recognize the disk as existing.

    I didn't particularly enjoy Suikoden, so I'm not tempted to try the others.

    I also played Star Ocean 2 and thought it was mediocre, so I'm not tempted to play Star Ocean 3. How does the multiplayer work in that? Is it like FFVI or something or what?

    I don't plan on buying XS2 until it's greatest hits or something - I'm not spending another $50 on an incomplete storyline.

    I haven't played Kingdom Hearts yet - I have been meaning to try that.

    I also heard God of War is pretty incredible - I'll look into that.

    Already played GGs, MGSs, FFs, etc.

    Pretty good suggestions - any others?

    I recommend not playing the Splinter Cell games, they're boring an almost as overhyped as GTA. I also recommend Silent Hill 4: the Room.

    That's like saying, "I didn't particularly enjoy FF1, so I'm not tempted to try the others." It was the first RPG attempt of Konami, and they still did a damn good job. S2, now, is the best RPG ever made, with S3 being an excellent game as well.

    Jebus has been telling me that as well, but Jebus is a Suikoden freak, and you can never trust those loons. Wait a minute...

    In any case, I'll put them on my list, but I'm a bit sick of RPGs right now...

    Actually, if you're more into gameplay than story, you will be. I loved the first game's story, but the gameplay got real old real fast. If you're not into half-hour-long cutscenes, avoid it. If you want a really cool and original (albeit unfinished, though it's a planned 7 game long series) story, check it out.

    I think one of the prerequisites was multiplayer so I will suggest...

    Timesplitters Future Perfect

    The multiplayer is very fun. Reminds me of those Goldeneye days. Its multitap compatible and it has a map editor. Awesome.

    I've greatly enjoyed most of the recent sports game put out by ESPN, so if you enjoy playing baseball or football, I recommend them.

    Take care all.

    Blopdy hell thats exactly what I think. Splinter Cell is to over-hyped and is not that hard. Plus SH 4 is the one of the best games ever

    My exact thoughts. Although I'd recommend Digital Devil Saga first becasue right now it will be:

    1. Easier to get a hold of at a store right now.

    2. Easier to play/stand/get through if you're not a hardcore RPG fan or player. Nocturne can be rather hard at times, and is a bit of a dungeon crawler so I don't know how much you'd like it. DDS, on the other hand, is a more standard RPG, and isn't as insanely hard as Nocturne can be.

    3. Digital Devil Saga will probably have a more in-depth story, while Nocturne is slow in its development, and leaves a lot of things alone, when they could have made for some great story/character development and plot points.

    So, there's my two cents. And well, MGS3 could prove to be a lot of fun. I rented it twice and beat it, but I know I'd be able to play through quite a few more times because of all the fun stuff in it.
