Oh yes I did. There was a deal on in Virgin Megastores for '3 games for £40' so I bought 6 games for £80. The games I bought were all PS2 games: X111, The Getaway, Freedom Fighters, Grand Theft Auto 3, Tom Clancey's Splinter Cell and Space Invaders: Anniversary Edition. So these are my first views on these games:
X111 - Very nice graphics and good fun to play, great storyline.
Based on first impressions I'd give it 7/10
Space Invaders: Special Edition- I was in a retro mood and when I saw it, I couldn't resist. It has nine modes:
Monochrome mode - classic black and white mode.
Colour mode - identical to Monochrome mode exept it is in colour.
Cellophane mode - cool game in which space invaders are clear and background is multi-coloured.
Upright mode - Very hard mode.
Upright mode 2 - Very hard mode of Space Invaders 2.
VS Mode - You and another person compete to see who can wipe out the aliens first.
Doubles mode - You and another person work toghether to try and wipe out the alien army.
3D Mode - Very cool three-dimesional graphics version of the original game
Space Invaders 2 Colour Mode - Space Invaders 2 in colour.
It's a great game and based on first impressions I'd give it 6/10
I haven't really played the other games much yet, so I'll review them later.

Just because I didn't post in your Rez topic doesn't mean that I don't have the game. I don't, by the way. And I am currently buying Ico off my friend. I might get Deus Ex but I'll think about it.

I know you don't have Deus Ex (you told me), I assume you don't have Rez (for you didn't post in my Rez topic), and hardly anyone has Ico.
Trust me - get them. By far three of the best games on PS2.

I know you don't have Deus Ex (you told me), I assume you don't have Rez (for you didn't post in my Rez topic), and hardly anyone has Ico.

That happened to me when I got it. You need to follow the lights (Blinkers) of your car, when the left light blinks go left, when the right light blinks go right, when they both blink go forward.

That happened to me when I got it. You need to follow the lights (Blinkers) of your car, when the left light blinks go left, when the right light blinks go right, when they both blink go forward.

You HAVE to get Ico, Rez and Deus Ex.

Yes. It looks like it. Actually, I bought a Playstation 2 to get Vice City and that was the only reason. At the time I bought it, I was expecting to only buy a few games for it and I was going to buy more games for my Gamecube instead. So I bought Vice City, FIFA 2003 and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. I loved these games so much that I decided to get more games for my PS2 than for my Gamecube and gradually PS2 became my favourite console. Now I by the games that are out for many systems for my PS2 and I buy the games that are Gamcube only for my Gamecube. So now I have much more games for my PS2. Now I have 34 games for my PS2 and I have 14 games for my Gamcube

The Getaway - Looks quite good and London is created perfectly,. I wish I could do the first mission though! ;) Based on first impressions I'll give it 6/10.
Freedom Fighters - Great fun to play and I love this game so much. So far, I'll give it an 8/10.
Splinter Cell - Amazing stealth sections and a good storyline. Looks very good and lots of fun. I don't know how to use the lockpick yet, though. ;) So far, I'll give it 8/10
Grand Theft Auto 3 - I've left the best for last. A truly amazing game. The weapons are better than Vice City's. The cars are nice and the game is very fun. Much better than Vice City. It's the best game I've ever played n Playstation 2 by far. 10/10
