Right I've decided as a treat to myself for working hard both at work and at Uni lately, that come payday in a couple of weeks (and coincidently just about when I finish Uni), I'm going to treat myself to a second hand PS2 and a few games as I used to own a PS2 and somewhat regret selling it.

I've decided on:
FF10 (had it before and want it again)
Silent Hill Collection (or possibly just the first couple)
Star Ocean: To The Ends of Time (Because I love RPGs and I loved Star Ocean 2)

Any other crucial ones I'm missing out on?
I don't need any that are multi format because I'd rather get them on the X-Box anyway. Half tempted by GT4 but I tend to prefer more arcadey racers.

Not at all interested in God of War or Shadow of the Colossus, or any fighting games.

Anyone played Dragon Quest? That looks like my kind of thing possibly.

I'm trying to keep to older games to keep costs down too.

Are you in to First Person shooters? If so Timesplitters is a total classic - get a few mates on a custom made map and that's your week gone.

Already got the second one on the X-Box :) But tbh I tend to prefer FPSes on the PC unless they're exceptional.

Try to find a copy of the first - infinitely better than the second! Oh and what about the Metal Gear games?

If I can find it cheap I'll have a look :)
I wasn't very keen on Metal Gear solid 2 when I played it last time I had a PS2, loved the first one but just wasn't interested in the second one.

I'm a bit picky, I'm afraid :o

It's kind of a fighting game, but have you played Z.O.E (Zone Of the Enders)? I thought it kicked ass :D it also has a bit of stats building in it.

That does look pretty good :D Even better it's dirt cheap on ebay so think I'll be picking up a copy of that sometime :)
Got nothing against fighting games, just don't want anything like Tekken because I've already got Soul Calibur 2 and I don't really play enough beat em ups to need another one.
But Z.O.E looks a bit different.
 
Resident Evil 4 i'm playing currently on chapter 3 and its tremendous, camera angle takes a bit gettin used to at first, feels intuitive now, great game.
would love to see this kinda thing on the 360, condemned was good, but this is different class.
 
Not my kind of thing really. I like Silent Hill but I never liked Resident Evil for some reason.
 
Haly - I know this might sound a bit lame, but I really used to enjoy having a quick blast on the Futurama game. It's great fun, especially if you like the TV show. :)
 
Haly, i didnt like MGS2 but i loved MGS3, MGS3 just had it all for me, almost tempted to say i preffered it to MGS :Eek:
And although ZOE was made by same folk that done MGS, didnt like it, dunno why though, just didnt fit for me.
Get the Ratchet and Clanks, platformers which are an absolute must.
Jak and daxter also (but i preffer ratchet, get some funny weapons in that lol)
I dunno if you bought a brand new PS2 but Hardware online arena can be a good laugh if you are taking PS2 online, tanks and jeeps driving around shoot each other lol
Also Monster Hunter if u r going online is ment to be the doggies dangles too, but i haven't played it so dont quote me lol
 
I'll see what price I can get MGS3 for then and see. Same with Futurama. I'm trying to be fairly cheap with what I buy because I don't particularly want to spend £30 for a game for a console that's getting on a bit.

Not bought the PS2 yet, waiting for payday in 2 weeks time. Although not really bothered about playing online. I've got X-Box Live but I very rarely go on it. Use the PC for online gaming instead.

I've not heard great things about it, plus it looks a bit girly :/ But might see how cheap it is.
Noticed you can get some real bargains on ebay so hopefully it'll remain that way when it comes to when I buy everything.

I'm sure you'll be able to pick up Futurama on the cheap - heck, they may even pay you to take it!!! :D (but it is fun though).

Lol yeah found it for about a quid :p Just for a few hours fun it'd be worth it!

There's loads of different costumes or something to collect isn't there? Just seems a bit un FF ish to me :/
Very Japanese but not my kind of thing if that's the case.
