That party game section is mostly just... like a friend vs. friend category, cuz the PS2 isnt really a party machine like Gamecube- but those're fun games with friends.

My husband got me the Buffy The Vampire Slayer Chaos Bleeds game, and HE even liked it (took it away)! It is a really fun game, and about $20.

Like someone has already mentioned, I would reccomend Silent Hill 4. I just got it. Awesome.
It's sooooo scary and disturbing, and has some interesting puzzle-like things. Also, the whole concept of the game is very interesting, but really creepy at the same time.

I would also say Silent Hill 3 just because of the amazing story, but you would have to have played the original game first.

Oooh, also you should try Zone of the Enders and ZOE2. Very good. Big mech fighting action, and the 2nd one has cool anime cut scenes.

WOW ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE POINTING YOU IN THE WRONG DIRECTION...

RPG: Grandia 2, Star Ocean:T.T.E.O.T., Xenosaga
Strategy: Disgeae: Hour of Darkness <-----You won't need any other games after you become involved with that
Horror: Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly
Shooting: Medal of Honor Frontline (for you), MOH: Rising Sun (for friends)
Platform: Shadowman 2 (& for only 7.99 at any game store you can't go wrong)
Fighting: Guilty Gear X2
Vintage: Megaman Anniversery <-----10 AMAZING GAMES for only $30.00...You cannot go wrong
To do things in make believe, hopefully your smart enough not to in real life: Grand Theft Auto:3, Vice City (if you love the 80's)

You know that warning that all video games come with in thier instruction manual, about how playing video games may induce a seizure...That warning was designed for this game...ZOE2 can be fun as hell, but also very frustrating (when they make you do lame missions that just suck...i.e. go save some loser & protect him)...If your into frantic action & loads of various attacks...this game is for you...

OH & in the very begining you play a mech that has a huge cock

Lets not turn this into an arguement about better games/taste, plz... Your opinions arent any more valid than anyone else's. =\ It might not be your intention to start some video game argument, but just for the future: Try not to.

SMuRF@2099 · 09-25-2004, 07:24 PM

Okay I'll agree that my opinion isn't more valid, yada yada whatever...but I realy like your avatar...how is RE2? I haven't seen it yet but RE1 was a disapointment IMO?

If you get Dance Dance Revolution make sure you get a good pad (like Konami's official one...there's better ones but they get pricier, the most expensive was $2,000 for an arcade replica I think)...I got a bootleg one from some underground mall in NY (oddly I couldn't even find a Konami pad in Flushing). You got to be careful cause they slip and slide real easily and all that shit. And the buttons break too. So far I ain't had no problems with mine's in about 3 years but I probably only spent around 20 hours playing it total so...

I haven't really been keeping up with video games in the past few years (except for certain genres that interest me, like sports/fighting, as well as the 'best games' through word of mouth) so I don't really know about the good games that no one talks about (ie Prince of Persia I think)...but The Bouncer is good. It's worth a rental at least and if you can find it at Circuit City it's $5 (probably all gone by now). I don't think they even carry it in major retail stores anymore aside from EB Games/Gamestop.

NBA Street 2 is hot, me and friends always played that game (and the first) without any arguments (except who was better).

You can get a soft dance pad for $40 at www.bestbuy.com, and I think there's cheaper ones too. If you like it, buy a hard dance pad for around $300 and they wear pretty well.
