Well I went out today on my search. I almost....this - close bought a used PS2 Slim. I just couldn't do it though becuase I'm worried about it breaking. So I bought myself a new PS2 Slim. It's silver and pretty good looking. The silver controller rocks. I only bought Devil May Cry and it turns out that it doesn't work. I'll have to bring it back to my gamezone tomarrow for a new copy or a re-surface.

I went out to a few rummage sales today and found Sonic The Hedgehog in the case, NFL 94', Blazing Blades or something, and Driver 2. All for $1.00. Driver doesn't work yet. It needs to be re-surfaced as well.

Edit:500th post

A lot of the online games for the PS2 have closed servers. Don't bother buying an adapter now. It's only a matter of time before they remove the rest. Metal Gear Online was one of the best. If you missed out, you missed out on a great game. Hackers did ruin the experience...

Dang, so a lot of games I wouldn't even be able to play online. Why the hell would they do that, considering PS2's are still selling in stores..Is Socom still working online??

Okami is a MUST BUY for any PS2 owner which im assuming you already have.... Mercenaries is a great shooter/adventure game. Some great RPGs are Star Ocean Till the End of Time, Dragon Quest 8, (a must for any ''RPG lover'') and Rouge Galaxy. All these games are 40-100 hours long so you will definitely get your moneys worth and they my favorite titles at this moment...and Ive played many PS2 games.
You can check out these titles at www.IGN.com or www.Gamespot.com

Well you may think DQ sucks, but its truly a brilliant game if you play it long enough. Exploring is what really made me love the game, and the interesting characters. Even then, the series is huge and it sells great in Japan. So it one of those series that stick around forever.
But I loved Star Oceans bizarre storyline. It had so many twists! Man, I really hope we see a sequel! Id buy it in a flash!

Once you get off Ellicor II expect some major twists if your not there already. The game gets absolutely frightening later on though...and pretty intense. But once your actually done with game theres ton more to do.

Also, get Legend of Mana for the PS1.

None of the Mana series have been able to live up to Secret of Mana, but this is a good second.

I'm so jealous of people who've never played a ps2 before. It's like you get to play the best selection of games ever for the first time all at one time for hardly any money.

The only negative there is that the graphics don't hold that same wow factor they used to, unless of course you're playing the later Ps2 games like GoW 2, Shadow of the Colossus, and Odin Sphere.

As long as you're an all-around gamer meaning you're not one to only like FPS or RTS, you'll love the Ps2. You just gotta be able to find the good games.

As for my favorites:

ICO
Shadow of the Colossus
Ratchet and Clank 1-3
Twisted Metal Black (This is mainly fun if you have friends that like to game)
Sly Cooper 1-3
Jak and Daxter
Space Channel 5
Final Fantasy X
Okami
Klonoa 2
God of War 1-2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Zone of the Enders 1-2 (Good luck finding the 2nd one cheap)

There are many others worth getting, but I'd put those as first priority.

Dark Cloud isnt actually rare...my game store has literally 10 copies of the game! What is really hard to find is Dark Cloud 2! Ive been to at least 5 stores already and none have it! But if you can find Dark Cloud or Dark Cloud 2 you should check it out.

Oh and Zone of the Enders was a pretty good game! It was made by Hideo Kojima, the same man that created the amazing MGS series. So you should probably check it out too
