An EyeToy is slowly weaving its way through the postal system and in my direction.
Yay. It can keep GTA VC company in my slightly thin ps2 'collection' :^)
But I'm not so well informed of Sony's goings-on. What'll be the future for the eyetoy? Any more promising games announced?
I heard it'd feature in the next Tonty Hawk's, but is there anything else to look forward to?
While we're here, very best ever ps2 games you can think of for me to buy.
Only the really good ones, as cash is a tad tight these days.
Failing good games, I've been looking at cheap ones:
Silent Hill 2, Shadowman 2, The Thing and International Cue Club
all caught my eye in a certain company's 2 for £20 promotion. Any thoughts on those?

Heh. Excellent...
As for the multi-platforms, I'd probably get those on the cube, as I'm more comfortable with its controller. So yeah, exclusives (or ones that only came out on PS2 and Xbox at most) please.
> Is Galerians any good?
Noooooooo!! I recall it got about 2/10. Don't buy it!
FreakOut looks interesting though......
I got myself Rez and WipeOut Fusion on the same deal and am feeling particularly pleased with myself!
Having said that, I do hate having to listen to a fan everytime a watch a DVD.
> Not to mention the integrated DVD playback.
The less said about that the better :)
Much wiser to get a standalone DVD player unless you aren't fussed about the quality. Although buying a DVD suggests to me that you would prefer the sharper images anyway.
Its a selling point from some people's point of view but from mine its a waste.

You aren't very good at advertising the PS2 are you?
Timesplitters is piece poor and the second one (although a shocking single player game) is multi platform. Tony Hawks are multi format and so is True Crimes.
Why do people list multi format games when trying to convince someone about a console? I don't count PC games in this so something like Half Life or Deus EX is worthy of a mention. Its exclusives that sell consoles and with games like Tenchu 3 (On Xbox in March but exclusive for now), Tekken 4, Devil May Cry, both GTA games, Smackdown 4, Victorious Boxers, Jak and Daxter amongst others are what the PS2 should be praised under and not some shoddy movie tie ins or less than average multi format titles.

Picked it up again today and its by far my favourite PS2 game and one of the masterpieces of recent years. Fast, furious action and a decent story.
