well,for starters,i recommend rez

the intense techno shooter that everyone who has played it
loves....sorta like starfox taken a couple levels ahead

aftr that,id recommend the PS game Final Fantasy
Chronicles...some of the best rpgs on that game

and then Devil May Cry,its a shooter based on the Resident
Evil type deals..but with just as many puzzles...

Although, Morrowind and Baldur's Gate 2 are far superior to
NWN.

pirotess....do you know that there are games only made for
PS2 that is one,
second my friend uses the pc for his games
there are tons of PC games that suck and the RPG ones didnt
interest me
althought i was thinking about getting alice in
wonderland..it looked trippy and weird..i also heared that
the company is making OZ also

I know many games are made purely for the PS2, so are many
games only for PC.
There are thousands of great pc games available and there
are lots of shite ones.
There are a hundred or so great PS2 games (Devil May Cry for
instace!) but there are also a lot of crappy ones!!
Personally, I prefer PC for a wider choice and greater
selection!!!

Well i'd be pretty dumb if I didn't know that, my point is
that most games on the PS2 are ported from the PC and are
far better on the PC, there is also a wider range of games
on there, and the games are far better quality, there are
only a couple of sgand out games for the PS2 that you can't
get for the PC.

Oh, Alice in Wonderland ain't that good.

metal gear solid 2 sucks on ps2. 1 was just better and you
can't play 2 with only snake, you have to play someone
else!! so i think i'm sticking to mgs1

They are good games....
Kingdom under fire is another good RTS game....with RPG
elements thrown in for good measure.
Just make sure you get the new GOLD edition!

ohhh, FF Tactics! A personal fav of mine! did you enjoy it?
I love strategy RPGs like that one. If you are much into
that style of RPG, get Vandal Hearts and Vandal Hearts 2,
both TOP NOTCH fuggin games :)

both are for PSX, btw (but would obviously work on PS2)

i read this at ps2world.com

One of the biggest games at the moment for any console has
to be Rockstar's "Grand Theft Auto 3". And like with most
big games, there is often a follow-up to it.

Well sources at Rockstar and DMX have said that they have
already begun on the follow-up to GTA3 entitled "Grand Theft
Auto Miami". The game is due out towards the end of 2002.

As well as that, they are hard at work on making Grand Theft
Auto 4, the proper sequel to GTA3. That is due out at some
point next year.

Details are very vague at the moment, but we will give you
more information when we get it.

will be called: gta: vice city..
exclusively for PlayStation 2 and is expected to hit retail
shelves in the United States on October 22nd.

thats awesome that you loved ff tactics, i actually think
the graphics in that game are classic awesome!

yeah FF anthology is cool but most of those games can be
downloaded in ROM format for SNES emulators and such, dont
know if I'd spend the money on it unless you want it as a
collectors item.

I have Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete for PSX, it was 70
bucks new when it came out, its got 4 discs (2 game, 1
soundtrack, 1 making of the game disc), a hardbound manual
and a cloth map, and its already a collectors item, sells
for like $95 used, even more sealed. Im gonna keep it for a
while longer till its a fuckin artifact! :)

I WOULD love FF tactics (being a HUGE ff fan) but it aint
available in the UK apart from inport to a chipped machine!
They pbviously deemed the RPG element isn't appreciated
enough in the UK to release it here (like so many other
flocking RPG games!!)

guy! hes the man!

electro: yes, RPG's are my favorite genre of games :) about
Lunar, the graphics in game are kinda old school, kinda like
SNES, but that doesnt bother me one bit, cuz i love old
school console RPGs. Its also got LOADS of Anime cutscenes
tho, and they are like real anime too, its really
entertaining. Its like half playing a game, half watching an
anime cartoon! :)
