"Currently 'borrowin' a PS2"

Yep. My clever brother swapped our GC for a PS2 for a bit. Just to play on Vice City. While I dtest and desipise that over rated rubbish, I gave some of the other games a go. Namely Red Faction II, Medal Of Honour Frontline, LOTR: Two Towers and GT3. Personaly, they all sucked.

I was just wondering (this is for serious PS2 owners, not a bunch of monkeys) - What has the PS2 got coming that SERIOUSLY can compete with futre GC/XBox releases.

PS - I'm not being fanboyish, I'm just wondering.

What 'criticisms' would that be then? I'd hardly call the last word in 3D platforming and no doubt the best out on any of the next-gen cosoles a 'disappointment'. And the GameCube isn't just Mario. I own eight (soon to become twelve) fantastic games that are unavailable on the PS2.

'Damage is done'? Sure the PS2 is leagues ahead, but the GameCube is in a nice second position - maintaining a lead ahead of Microsoft. There's also the fact that it's the best value console you can buy at the moment. Oh, and out of the three major players - Nintendo make the most profit.

That's why there's much more GameCube games worth owning than on the PS2 is it? Recently, I've been severely disappointed with my PS2 - with games such as Vice City and The Getaway just not being up to scratch. My last great gaming moment on Sony's console was with Deus Ex, which I'm sorry to say, was at least four months ago now.

Would have to agree with that. Hardly the better titles of the PlayStation 2 catalogue.

My picks would be: Virtua Fighter 4, Pro Evo 2, Guilty Gear X, Kingdom Hearts, Jak & Daxter, Hitman 2, Ratchet & Clank to name a few off the top of me' head.

Only just seen this topic - all the games you mentioned in the first post are pretty much crap.

Er. Hang on. How in hell can you not, if thats all you've played? I'm basing it on my experiance of the games I've played. I'm sure the PS2 has other fantastic titles.....

I posted it, just to state that I had a PS2 for a bit, and was wondering what games were good.
