Thanks for agreeing, haha :)

FF7, is it as immersive as FFX?

Also, people saying a lot about Timesplitters, whats it like?
Eh probably not as immersive in some senses, like since there is no voice acting and worse graphics, but the story and characters are still amazin, 7 and 10 are joined as my fav's^^

And yea timesplitters is amazin, its just mad and frantic, one of the best multiplayer shooters around, and also class single player, rly hope they make another one :)

I don't know if these have already been suggested, but honestly, it's impossible to recommend them enough: the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank games for the PS2 are absolutely incredible and definitely worth playing. Plus, with the games you listed as memorable (specifically, Crash and Spyro), they sound right up your alley, especially considering they are made by those two same developers.
Hmm, well I played Ratchet and Clank on ps3, is the ps2/1 versions a better standard?
Well, it's all personal opinion really. Personally, I thought that the newer Ratchet & Clanks were definitely good, but slightly better on the PS2. They just seem to be more about addictive gameplay and less about creating a cinematic experience, which I find more compelling. Honestly though, even if you'd rather have the cinematic experience, I'd still recommend the older Ratchet games to you; even if you don't like them as much as the new ones, you'll without a doubt still enjoy them.

Twisted Metal. Any of them excluding 3 and 4 really. Though I especially recommend 2 and Black. 2 isn't serious at all (its actually PS1 but with backwards compatibility its fine) but the graphics aren't the best. Also it has a lot of replay value due to the many different and fun characters. Black on the other time is more serious but has better graphics and improved combat. Also the stories are likely to freak the shit out of you. Both have great soundtracks as well plus replay value through multiplayer, challenges, arena levels, unlockable levels, unlockable characters.

I second Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy since its great fun and everything else listed. I also further second Devil May Cry and would say that for me 2 was my favourite. It had three different characters (one unlockable) all with very different play styles. Also it has a ton of unlockable difficulties which are a lot of fun (I'm still stuck on a boss on Dante Must Die mode). Finally there is an extra arena mode for fighting which is a lot of fun.

well pretty much all the best games have been said so I'll just ad Need For Speed: High stakes 1 & 2, friends and I could go hours just chasing each other down. ahhh good times :)
Yeah, need for speed in the old days were great, especially Underground 2, that was one of my favorites.
Underground was fun, only thing is I played it on the pc, still good either way

God Of War 1, 2. Ratchet Gladiator. (I know, but it's actually really cool) Burnout Revenge. Kingdom Hearts. Timesplitters 2. I enjoy the Tony Hawks games... Okami. Destroy All Humans. The Prince Of Persia Sands Of Time trilogy. Spiderman (I though 2 was the best). Enter The Matrix is amazing. Deus Ex. GTA games obviously. (3 onwards) Also, the first three Spyro games on Playstation. The first three or so Crash Bandicoot games. Tekken. Mortal Kombat. I should have more, but I be tired. Goodnight all.

Dark Cloud used to be my absolute favourite game for the PS2. It's fairly repetitive, but great fun nonetheless.

A friend of mine (who can't really afford a ps3: he works at the university) recently asked me this and I got some good answers for him here.

Most of the really epic games (Like Fallout 3) are available (and better) on the PC anyway. You should've waited to sell until you played GoW3.

I see you already have San Andreas on your list: that's probably THE most epic of all ps2 games. Besides just playing through it, there are so many unlockables and things to do with the unlockables, that game kept me busy for a long time.
Still, it's better on the pc.

We Love Katamari and Burnout Revenge are a couple of other ps2 games that took up a lot of my time.

Champions of Norrath: Return To Arms was amazing with 3 good friends. I think we wasted about 100 hours or so on it, and we kept making new characters. Great social game. Shame I don't have a PS2 now that I've moved countries.

If you have no friends to play with, either online (I think the servers are online still.) or local, it may not be as interesting. But it's great fun with a pal or three.

Ah i may look at that, me and my 2 friends order a Chinese on a Friday if we are too tired to go out, so we play some of my old consoles.

FF13 should end up on the PC eventually: it will probably take a few months like gta4.
GoW3 on the other hand, probably wont.

Pretty sure that was a PS1 game rather than PS2. Backwards compatible, sure, but still.

As for the list:

Zone of the Enders 1+2
Resident Evil 4
God of War 1+2
Kingdom Hearts 1+2 (and RE:CoM if you're in NA)
Metal Gear Solid 2+3
DMC1+3
GTA: Vice City+San Andreas
Armored Core series.
Final Fantasy X+X-2+XII.
Kingdom Hearts! Wooooooo! The only game I've ever completed. Would have been 100% completed, but I could never beat Sephiroth in the Platinum match. I also have the agree with the final fantasty titles.

My boyfreind would like to contribute the Timspliter series. For it's story (particularly for futureproof he says), and for, I quote: "the huge lols playing it, like when the giant zombie deer busts thorugh the wall and it's all 'You're in trouble now!' have to bust out the boomstick for that."

I agree with pretty much every other person here, Ratchet and Clank should be considered one of the best. I also personally liked the Burnout and Timesplitters games :)

I just dont see why ms would have them port it to the 360 and not the pc. I bet you it will get there eventually, if they think it will make money.
