SSX or Armored Core 2 or another game? HELP

you can wait until Dark Cloud come out...

What kind of game is Dark Cloud? I havent heard much about it. But it has been mentioned a couple of times.

It\'s simply the best PS2 game out.

But besides that, I like:

Armored Core 2, for it\'s mech feeling and new features( overboost is awesome). I beat it in 11 hours(everything) because I was an Armored Core freak 4 years ago as well.

Ready 2 Rumble: Round 2, for its simple yet fun gameplay. Best PS2 fighting game yet, IMO.

NHL 2001, for its ability to be fun!
