Jak & Daxter
Ratchet & Clank Going Commando
Xenosaga
Kingdom Hearts

Haven\'t got around to play Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal.  Jak 2 is trash in my opinion but I\'m seem to be alone in that assessment.  Jak 3, from the little time I spent with it, seemed like an improvement.

Pick up Shadow Hearts 1 if you like RPG\'s, the second one is good too but I liked the first ones story better.

Depends on what you like really.

But GT3 is definately up there if you like fairly in depth racers.

So many hours - and a quarter of that not even racing.

Drifting is so much fun.

:D

Gotta give props for mentioning ICO too. Damn i need that game.

^Wow.^ wtf? some of those came out of nowhere.

007 nightfire? It was pretty good but AWESOME? Personally i think the best bond game to come out this gen was Everything or Nothing.

The best games that I have played that you havent mentioned,  

Gran Turismo 3

Madden games

SSX games



Heh,  I just noticed there werent too many good PS2 games (for my tastes).  In the words of CLoud345,  "Is it just me,  or does PS1 rule all consoles?"

Though I would tend to agree, Nightfire has plenty of great appeal that Everything or Nothing just improves on slightly.  And as I said, I took only games that were on the GH list and EoN is not.

Speaking of PS1, did anyone ever play the first Tomba??? THAT GAME ROCKED!  I loved the little pink-headed freak.  Bad thing is, I didn\'t like the game until after I had scratched it to heck and back, and I can\'t find a copy anywhere now...:yawn: oh well

MM:

You played SpaceHulk, you are my friend, have you completed the campaign mode?

I agree thats the best game in a decade, for it combines, FPS,Strategy,Fighting all in one game.

Ive played the 3D0 version back in 1995, almost a decade ago.The music rocks, sets the mood for grim survival and suicide missions.

I still remember this " Ezzekiel!! Watch Your Back!!"

Genestealer smash his claw into your friends faceshield = loud shattered glass\' noise, followed by screams of death.Awesome.

Amazing how a lackluster graphical game can capture the atmosphere.

If you like Platform games I reccomend Klonoa 2: Lunatea\'s Veil.  I miss 2D Platform games!  It\'s got a bit of 3D but Namco decided to keep it more of a 2D platform, and it rocks!
