So a couple of weeks ago my mother went into our attic and threw down to me a bin bag full of wires. The wires for the PS2 that was in the middle of the tangle, needless to say I was over the moon! I found a PS1 controller and set up shop, but all I had was Battlefront 2 which wouldn't work with my PS1 controller. So over the last couple of weeks I've been going to game shops finding games for it and currently have:

LOTR: The Third Age/ The Two Tower/ The Return of the King, Half Life, Killzone, Wipeout Fusion, Predator: Concrete Jungle, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter and Worms 3D. And I'm waiting for Simpsons Hit and Run and Jak and Daxtar (1 and 2) to arrive from Amazon now.

Basically I've been rebuilding my childhood and am currently ignoring the real world as I go back in time ten years So have any of you guys found anything recently that's brought back some memories? And of course, what PS2 games would you recommend?

I recently bought a PS2 mini just so that I could have a spare around when my old brick PS2 finally croaks (it's been showing signs that it's on its last legs). Also got a 128 MB memory card.

Anyway, some good games to recommend would be:

• Ratchet and Clank 1-3


• Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction


• Devil May Cry 1 and 3 (there is no 2)


• God of War 1-2


• Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (Lucifer's Call in Europe)


• Digital Devil Saga 1-2


• Persona 3


• Steambot Chronicles


• Beyond Good and Evil


• Shadow of the Colossus


• Hitman Silent Assassin, Contracts, and Blood Money


• Prince of Persia trilogy


• Metal Gear Solid 3


• Okami


• Suikoden III and V


• Grand Theft Auto III, VC, and SA


• Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner


• Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest


• Disgaea: Hour of Darkness


• Resident Evil 4


• Viewtiful Joe 1-2

Aside from my NES, Game boy, some Famous Five books and Lego, not much
