Anyway, as a big (sucking up) thank you to SR, I'm buying from them, and I'm going for the PS2 Firepack, along with MGS2. Anyway, I have £20 going spare, so I'm going to get a budget game too... but I can't for the life of me pick one. Here's the list that SR has, as well as my opinion on them
JAK & DAXTER (PLATINUM). (RATED 96%) Don't like 3D platformers
GRAN TURISMO 3 A-SPEC (PLATINUM) (I-LINK) 90% Don't like racing games (especially the GT series)
WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP (PLATINUM) 9/10 Don't like racing games
WWF SMACKDOWN 3 JUST BRING IT! (PLATINUM) (TAP) Getting SD4 when it comes out, no point in getting this
TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT (PLATINUM) (TAP) I hear it's pants, but so far it's looking the most likely candidate. I loved Tekken 2 though
TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER 3 (PLATINUM) 96% Number 4 is almost out, and I got VERY bored of #2 after about 10 minutes
RESIDENT EVIL: CODE VERONICA X (PLATINUM) Never been into the Res games
CRASH BANDICOOT 5: WRATH OF CORTEX PLATINUM Don't like 3D platformers
THIS IS FOOTBALL 2002 (PLATINUM) I enjoy the occasional game of Fifa, that's about it as far as football games are concerned
STAR WARS: EPISODE 1: STARFIGHTER (PLATINUM) 9/10 Hear it's pants
SSX (PLATINUM) Not really into snowboarding games
ONIMUSHA: WARLORDS (PLATINUM) No idea what this is about, but isn't there a sequel out?
TIMESPLITTERS (PLATINUM) (TAP) Hear it's good, but not great
CRAZY TAXI (PLATINUM) 8/10 Despite being a racing game, I do like the look of this
RED FACTION (PLATINUM) See Timesplitters comment
MOTO GP (PLATINUM) No
DEAD OR ALIVE 2 (PLATINUM) I hear it's good
FORMULA ONE 2001 (PLATINUM) (SONY / STUDIO 33) 8/10 Only one thing worse than a racing game, and that's an F1 racing game
ONI (PLATINUM) Terrible, played it on the PC
So what is a green monkey with a giant brain to do? I can't afford anything higher than a budget game, it's bad enough I have to go without food all next week at college so I can afford this thing
Tell me your opinions on the games, tell me what I should get, and tell me quick! I'm looking to order within the next day or so, before I spend all the money on cheap booze
: )
Just get SSX or Crazy Taxi.

He's said quite a few times now that he already has it on the PC.
:-D

And SSX - oh, SSX.. it's only a snowboarding game by default. Not half as boring, much more interesting.
I'd say, in order of priority.
1. SSX
2. Red Faction
3. Timesplitters
4. Crazy Taxi
5. This is Football 2002
Or add a fiver and get Grand Theft Auto 3 :-)
