Yeah, I've played a bit of Dave Mirra in the past, and thought it seemed ok, but could've been a hell of a lot better.
I HAVE heard of xxx, and might pik it up for a trial run at EB.

Question - Has anyone here played either of the tony hawk underground games, or the new final fight on ps2?
What are they like?

Horror: Silent Hill 2 and 4

Fatal frame (all three of this saga)

Not Horror: GTA San Adreas

Metal gear solid 3

Final Fantasy X

Ico and Shadow of the colosus

The final fantasy games have in all honesty kinda pissed me off since #8 (although I only ever played a tiny bit of #9, and saw the intro of x, but I'm sure the same problems are there)...always great storylines, excellent looking games, brilliant score...but all that guardian force shit just pissed me off.

Yes, fatal frame is on the list.

I've already played GTA:SA, I kinda still preferred vice city....actually, I'm getting the PS2 port of Liberty City stories in a week or so....don't suppose anyone has played that?

MGS3 - I'd have to play through the first 2 first.

Ico has ALWAYS looked really interesting to me...

Just been playing God of War so much today...seriously, if anyone hasn't you guys at least gotta hire it to check it out.

This just in - God of War is now one of my all-time favourite games...I'm SO fucking into it...any ps2 owner, you GOTTA geddit.

In related events - I have discovered after unsuccessfully trying to use "unreal tournament", that I simply cannot get FPS controls working for me on the PS2. Kinda pissed about that, but seriously, it's not as confy as the dreamcast was, I usually rock the fps thing, but I spend hours stumbling around like a retard...I mean fuck...how hard is it to have the option to FULLY customise controls? Dumb move not to, Sony. Ah well...I always have known pc is the king of fps, I guess it'll remain that way.

Also, help me out with this title: A while back I heard of this and really wanted to get it...You play a character living in a city (not sure which), and an earthquake strikes...and the whole thing is esssentially just about you running around, surviving, interacting with other characters...etc, and apparently finding out about a govt plot to do with the earthquake being a weapons test. I don't remember all that much else, other than supposedly throughout the game there's multiple earthquakes and aftershocks, looters, and assassins sent in after you...it really sounded like a kickass game, but the title just isn't coming to me, I'd love to get my hands on a copy though, so if you know what the fuck I'm talking about (for once), lemme know that title...


Another thing, there's some cel-shaded game out with a racoon theif or some shit as the character, looked kinda cool, is that one worth a look?

1st one is called Disaster Report:

I havent played it, but the reviews are pretty negative.


2nd is the Sly Cooper series:

I havent played any, but I watched a friend of mine play Sly 3, looked pretty fun.

Black...without a doubt THE game to have hit the PS2 so far...

Shadow of the Colossus...impressive visuals, lovely game...

Matrix-Path of Neo...a must...

Predator: Concrete Jungle...for die-hard predator fans...

Silent Hill 2,3 & 4 all of em rock...

DarkWatch...excellent game...

Resident Evil: Outbreak...

Resident Evil 4: Final Retail...

The Thing...excellent game...
