i dunno guys, but after that xbox one reveal i was kinda turned off by this new generation. i don't have a wii u so i can't say anything bad about it, and since it actually looks pretty fun to me i won't judge. but really what i want to talk about here is the good old ps2. this console was a massive part of my childhood, after playing football outside or skateboarding or w/e me and my friends would always go to eachothers houses and play playstation together. we basically shared all our games, cycled them between ourselves, swapped memory cards, etc. multiplayer was always a blast when you were sitting in the same room with your mates and egging eachother on. nowadays all the multiplayer is mainly experienced via wifi (of course im not saying it's a bad thing, but i must say i prefer playing just with my firends and being able to talk with them irl while playing, even if splitscreen gave you a tiny space to work with lol).
so yeah i was mainly thinking we could discuss the good old ps2 games here, our favourite experiences while playing multiplayer, the best games to play, etc. i'll start off with some of my favourite titles here
there are obviously loads more, but these five were my alltime favourites. star wars BF2 is probably my most played game to date, even more than pokemon. you could level up your armies, play all the different infantry classes, have loads of vehicles, awesome space combat, relive scenes from the movies, play the heroes vs villains level, etc. 10/10 from me. need for speed carbon is my all time favourite racing game (my favourite genre, due to the way you can customize those lovely cars, the cop chases, the excruciatingly diffiicult boss races (especially towards the end) the awesome graphics, and more. gta SA is probably my favourite free roaming game as you could do literally anything, but i mainly played it for the awesome cheats lol. i mean really, who didnt? not infinte health and money or shit like that, but spawning a jetpack, the cars fly cheat like in that scene from harry potter 2, the weapon packs :3. last but not least ratchet and clank (well 1 to 3, i loved them all) was my favourite adventure game. it has hilarious storylines, cool weapons to upgrade, and that childish glow to it as well. tony hawk was also an awesoe game, mainly because my friends and i loved to skateboard and pull off all the trick we couldnt irl in this game. the free roaming around, sims-esque character customization, awesome tricks to pull off and expansive skateparks were an absolute joy to play around with.
i know i've not touched on many games, like fighting games, sports games, shoot em ups, etc, but the five i mentioned were my favourites, and i'd love to hear about yours :)
