Well think about it. All the other companies have had to drop there prices by alot. PS2 mabey dropping its price but its still high. Therefore
people are buying it so much that it can still mantain its price

That really was a pathetic list. You're not really doing much to convince people of the PS2's quality games, are you?

Morius you sure like your MGS lol

Silent Hill 3 is a classic game, truelly is, unless your not much for survival horror i suppose, then i guess its not...but yeah there has been little to talk about in the past few months for the PS2 except upcomming games.

Looking at the release schedules, things do look a little tasty in the future. Around September there's a load of goodies (or I hope they will be) being released.

OK, good point. I'll admit that in the last few months there haven't been that many good ones. Not many Classics. But it all depends on your taste of games. Some people like RPG's, others like Shooting games, ect, ect. But in the future there will be alot of good games. We've already seen the MGS 3 preveiw for example.

I'm on about recent ones (released in the last few months) - you've gotta admit there's not been anything earth-shattering and a lot of stuff failed to live up to it's potential.

What about - Ico, SSX, Ratchet&Clank, Timesplitters 2, FFX, Burnout 2? These are proper PS2 classics (although many multi-platform) off your list there I'd only put Tenchu 3 and VC into a really good games list. If there is such a thing.

Nope there's single player missions as well. You can tell your computer controlled team what to do in that mode instead of telling Sirfragsalot from New York to give you covering cover only then to be shot in the head after he's run off on a suicide mission. :D

MGS 2 Substance is one of the best games for PS2! Any MGS fan will tell you that.

To be honest with you, I've never actually played the game but it looks brilliant!

You're thinking of Resident Evil - which is still good.
