Well, I finally broke down and bought a PlayStation 2 this week. I had a GameCube but got a bit tired of a number of games being made available for the PS2 and XBox...but not the Cube. So, over the weekend I weighed the pros and cons of PS2 vs. XBox and just decided the PS2 had more games I really wanted so I went with that one. Maybe I'll buy an XBox for myself on my next birthday but that wouldn't be until next summer.
As far as games go, I bought 3 the day I bought it (Monday), came home and ordered 4 more online and then bought 2 new games via eBay and finally went out yesterday and got two more. Once the ones I ordered come in, that will give me 11 games...I'll wait for those to arrive and then I'll go out and decide what to make the twelfth game and probably hold at that for awhile. Here, then, is the first dozen PS 2 (minus one) games of my collection...
1. DOA 2 Hardcore
2. Grand Theft Auto III
3. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
4. Haven: Call of the King (cheapest so far for me, $14.95)
5. Ico
6. Jak and Daxter
7. Maximo
8. Max Payne
9. Tekken 4
10. Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
11. World Series Baseball
12. ?
As to what the 12th game will be, I haven't decided yet. I'm not a big sports gaming fan though I do like baseball games so WSB covers that. I have Madden 2003 for the GC and have hardly played that so that will hold me for awhile. I'm not big on RPGs but I do like straight adventure games. I also like platformers and fighting games. I notice I don't have an FPS yet and would like to get one in that category but which one to get? I already have the GameCube versions of Red Faction II, TimeSplitters 2 and Medal of Honor: Frontline and wouldn't want to get those again...any suggestions? I was thinking of getting the PS2 version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein but have been warned against that...
