I owned a PS2 since 2006, aged 8. The first three games in my possession were Sonic Riders, Gran Turismo, Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast (I highly recommend if you love racing) Looking back i can't comprehend the amount of replayability on titles such as ☆ Shadow The Hedgehog ☆ Mission Impossible: OP Surma ☆ Smugglers Run 2 ☆ Simpsons Hit and Run ☆ POP : Sands of Time ☆ Stuntman ☆ Ultimate Spiderman (i kid you not, I so badly want to see Tom Holland upload a playthrough of it) 😂 Guys please @ him and Zendaya so he may consider. There's no better timing as USM marks the 20th anniversary this year.
@dilshanjinadasa8540 Smugglers Run 2 came out in 2001 and was published by Rockstar. Such a cool game with fun missions packed with vehicular destruction, Police chases and countermeasures 😂. The 2 player mode is an absolute must. 💯
Thats a very good selection of games.. after watching your videos i always want to replay these great games.. most modern games dont have this effect on me
I shouldn't have to tell anyone, but what is also great about the PS2 is that you can also play PS1 games that being all the more reason to own the legendary console. Sure you can play some classics on the PS5 with more surely to become available for purchase that I am happy about, but for me nothing beats seeing the classic games in the physical format to play on the PS2. I am proud of my collection of PS2 and PS1 games which as time has went on I have spent more money on for new or like new titles with a majority of games being purchased from eBay being my go to because many sellers show pictures of the disc. I grew up with the PS1 and PS2 consoles so for me it's especially still of interest to collect these classic titles whenever I can swing it.
For sure! One thing I've noticed though is that it's getting a bit difficult to find PS1 games these days. It's probably the smallest of my collection.
Let’s be clear, when Killzone released in 2004 in my opinion, it was unbelievable! It felt more gritty and grown-up, then halo, and that sprint effect was magic
somewhere I also did a photoshop custom cover art for Rachet Deadlocked doing the cover in the style of the Halo 2 or halo 3 cover art. I forgot what one but it turned out pretty good. I wish i knew where it went.
Prince Of Persia The Sands Of Time Kingdom Hearts Final Fantasy X Dark Cloud Soulcalibur 2 Devil May Cry 3 Beyond Good And Evil Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal Resident Evil 4
Hit and Run is great. I played it on PC, still have it (3CDs). On PC i could manipulate the files and change the sections with time limits, giving me way more time.
Scarface PS2, youll thank me. Mercenaries: playground of destruction.... Sleeper hit. Freedom fighters... Max payne games Dead2rights Black Redfaction2 Time splitters games Etc.
Does SOCOM confrontations have a single player campaign? I have all the socoms but that one. I bought a ps2 recently just to play the sococms, gun, & scarface
@@thegamethrifter youll just have to relearn the controls is all. I was playing army men3D the other day, and the controls are way outdated, but after a few hours it was as smooth as butter. Almost as if your old muscle memory comes back a bit.
every year is a good year to play ps2 games
Agreed!
The console still holds up
Heck yea!
love ps2 games so much
Such a great console!

Can't complain! I just think the story wasn't as good.

Great game though!
Prince Of Persia The Sands Of Time
Kingdom Hearts
Final Fantasy X
Dark Cloud
Soulcalibur 2
Devil May Cry 3
Beyond Good And Evil
Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal
Resident Evil 4
Great games!
oh SoCOM gives me nostalgia vibes. I had lots of fun with that series. Oh now I need a ps2.
Heck yea!
Hit and Run is great. I played it on PC, still have it (3CDs). On PC i could manipulate the files and change the sections with time limits, giving me way more time.
I can see why that would come in handy! lol
Scarface PS2, youll thank me. Mercenaries: playground of destruction.... Sleeper hit.
Freedom fighters...
Max payne games
Dead2rights
Black
Redfaction2
Time splitters games
Etc.
GREAT LIST!
Some very good picks in here. Can’t go wrong with Socom and R&C franchise
There was a lot more R&C than I remembered! lol
I still play socom2 online hah.
@@joeydigrado382 Is it pretty active?
@@thegamethrifter yes, 30-70 ppl depending on the day and time.
@@joeydigrado382 NOT TERRIBLE!
I will most likely pick up KillZone. Which one is the best concerning gameplay, soundtrack and level design?
From the Killzone series? I'd say 2 is the best, but Killzone 1 on PS2 is also pretty good!
@@thegamethrifter Cool. Guess I'll start with the first. :)
Don't forget also Ico ,Shadow of Colossus, Gran Turismo, Kill Switch, Rez, Devil may cry, Onimusha, Klonoa, Tekken, amd more and more
I have some of those in another PS2 video I did! GREAT STUFF!
Does SOCOM confrontations have a single player campaign? I have all the socoms but that one. I bought a ps2 recently just to play the sococms, gun, & scarface
No, Confrontation was multiplayer only
Why wouldn't they "still be incredible"? The games don't like magically rot or become worse over time or something do they?
Well, it can be tough to play due to outdated mechanics, low resolution is also a big issue.

I play ps2 on emulator
Why? The games and hardware are so cheap these days?
A Ynbpr component cord is recommended to play on newer TVs. The best converter is the straight hdmi to av ones. Not the box converters
Yea, I have a decent one.
I really enjoy your videos and would love to collaborate with you. Could you share your work email with me?
What type of collaboration?
