PS2 - What have I missed?

[Ramzy]

Silent Hill 2, 3, and 4 if it hasn't been mentioned yet.

[Shearie]

For the love of all that is good, get Odin Sphere!

[MattyD]

Most of my picks have been mentioned already but here are a few more:

God Hand - SERIOUSLY good fighting stuff. It's a bit rough around the edges but it's clear that more effort went into the fighting system.

Devil May Cry 1 / 3 - Can't be recommended highly enough if you're into action games.

We Love Katamari - Wonderful!

Psyvariar 2 - Bullet buzzing FTW! You can find this for a couple of quid in the pre-owned section of Game or GameStation

Soul Reaver 2 - Bit of an oldie but goodie so it's cheap and easy to find, this still looks pretty good visually today and the puzzles are very well designed. Top adventuring.

Also, if you don't have a GameCube / Wii, definately go after Viewtiful Joe and Killer7. But both work better on a Cube pad IMHO.

We Love Katamari

[EDIT] MattyD Ninja'd my thoughts

[JU!]

The King of Fighters XI, Winning Eleven 10 J League + Europe 06-07, Yakuza (Ryu ga gotoku). If not already mentioned.

[Magnakai]

Most of the essentials have been listed already, but I just want to give another vote to Okami. I'm playing it through right now and it's incredibly good.

I agree, superb series with some of the best english voice acting in any game ever, I'm still hoping for a new game .

I second this entirely.

[Ish]

Thanks for all the suggestions people - most helpful

Picked up Katamari for a tenner today so will be trying that out shortly.

Final Fantasy XII - I just started it last week, it helps if you've played Vagrant Story / Final Fantasy Tactics, Ivalice reminds me of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay for some reason.

Densha de Go! Final - If you like trains... I'm completely hooked.

Xenosaga Trilogy - I'm only 10 hours into Episode 1... digging the story, the game itself is more than a little repeditive... again, I think it helps if you've played Xenogears.

Valkyrie Profile 2
Odin's Sphere
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
Klonoa 2
Front Mission 4
Front Mission 5
Rogue Galaxy
Zone of the Enders II
Namco X Capcom
Disgaea II
Skygunner

I'm still hoping someone will do a fan translation for Namco X Capcom. Can't make heads or tails of the Jap version but I know i'd love it if I could.

I say it all the time - it must get tiring. But Xenosaga just doesn't live up to Xenogears - Ep.1 is decent, 2 is bollocks, and 3 I havn't dared play.

Sky Odyssey
