Almost anything besides RPGS and Sports, mostly action orientated though please.

Shouldn't PS2 be in classic by now? I mean didn't it come out in 2000?

Please help, thanks.

Thanks DS, that helps quite a bit, but I would like more if any one has any new ones.

So new psp games are being ported to the PS2? I heard a rumour? Guess I was wrong? :.....(

Three words... Blood Will Tell. I'm hunting for a copy now myself. They should go for about $10-15 used I'm guessing.

I hunted a copy down after reading the HG101 article on it, but those segments where you play as the kid completely killed it for me. The normal game is fairly ok, but those Dororo bits are so offensively terrible that I shelved it maybe a third of the way through and haven't returned since :(

Urban Reign is FUN, but it gets really annoying and repetitive.

RENT IT FIRST.

It's not for everyone.

It pretty much costs as much to rent it as it does to buy it :drinking:

any game with an attack called 'pimp hand' is worthy of a buy, if only as an opportunity to mention keeping said hand strong.

plus god hand is a very fun (if sometimes frustrating) cheese-filled beatemup.

Yeah want to get a hold of Godhand asap.

Thanks guys some really interesting recommendations, esp the JPN ones.

So is the PS2 dead? It doesn't look like those psp titles are coming to PS2 like I thought.
I don't see why it would be such a big deal?

PS2 isn't dead. Sony's still selling about 100K of the systems a month. I've never heard anything about PSP games being co-developed for PS2. If the GTA "stories" games are any indication, you'd probably not want to play most PSP games on a PS2 anyway, because those games look like ass.

Hmmn I know what your saying but God of War COO, could be pretty cool.

Anyway this google search yielded interesting results:

but

The list of upcoming games doesn't look so good:

It's fine though I guess :( there are still a lot of Ps2 game I want to play, guess well'll just have to hope for the best.
