I got my PS2 last month and i'm really surprised at how many games there were to great me after my purchase i.e. not many. There are a few good games Tekken Tag, SSX.....can't think of anymore!
It's true that you can play your old PS games on you new PS2 but that is not the reason i brought it. I wanted to play PS2 games on it and i wasn't really aware that there are not many top quality titles for it.
Three of the games i'm most looking forward to might not even be realised this year. Resident Evil Code Veronica for example. Yes it my be better than the dreamcast version, with better graphics and added story line (so it's bigger that the original) but i won't be released until the 22 of March.....in Japan!!! So god knows when that is going to get over here. Silent Hill 2 again won't be released until Christmas, CHRISTMAS!!! The deadline shared by many other great PS2 games and god only knows when Metal Gear Solid 2 will be released as they keep on putting back the dead line for the release.
In the meantime before these games and many others are released they are trying to fill the viod with little crappy games that are about as entertaining as eating a sandwich.
Couldn't of Sony at least told these games companies, "look we're releasing these whip as$ machine get your boney butts in gear and start work on those game."
They reckon in 5 years time that the PS3 will be released. That doesn't leave a lot of space for those games to be finished in.
I could of waited a few months for a wider selection of games to be released then brought a PS2. I would of been cheaper and there would all ready be some decent games out for it. My advice is don't buy a PS2 yet. Wait for a few months for more games to come out or the price to drop.

WE all know, the PS2 hasn't released any games that reach the limits of the machine. But be patient, if you wait longer you could pick up a PS2 for a cheaper price and get a larger range of games later.
MGS 2 may be cancelled but you have to look forward to the less well known Japanese made games, they are all good, espeically if you are a Nintendo fan you would of heard of Sin & punishment, and that is getting good reports from everywhere.
It doesn't all matter on one game, really, SSX may be the best game to get when you first get a PS2, but remember after a few months games drop down in price, people like to sell them second hand in a few months.
That's the normal rotor of a gamer, because though having good graphics a game get's too old for everyone eventually.
IF all goes about the PS3, i wouldn't be suprised if the PS2 dropped in price to take the fans minds of that and keep playing their PS2's.
