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
Get Crazy Taxi because it's fantastic for short blasts and I'm guessing that's what your wanting.
