Hey guys,
Since getting $100 trade credit from game, i've decided i'm going to buy myself a PS2.

What games should i buy, where to buy, and how much are they?

Cheers

If your looking to buy good PS2 games for a good price, i recommened EB games (of all places). EB has the best selection of rare and good PS2 games and their usually under $25.

Games To Buy:
ICO and Shadow of the Colossus (must buy games IMO)
Final Fantasy series
Devil May Cry series
Metal Gear Solid series

I would recommend staying far, far, away from the Final Fantasy PS2 games.

Get Dragon Quest VIII for some RPG goodness. Should be more more than $30.

Have to say God of War series - both are brilliant!
and +1 for Burnout 3 Takedown.

Got some good games there Garth

Btw LOTR Return of the King is much better than Two Towers imo so if you enjoy it get the third one
Max Payne was a great game, whether it still is though idk

Happy gaming

Now I also need a Memory Card (anyone have one they want to sell??  Wink (melb only))

I've got two to three extra official Sony PS2 memory cards that I don't use anymore...happy to sell them if you're interested? I suppose it's better to sell them since I wouldn't really get any trade value for them. Contact me by PM if interested!

On another note, I can't go past the GTA series of games on the PS2. I had a PSP but sold it off and even got the two GTA-remakes on PS2!

I love the Smackdown Vs Raw series on PS2 too...but that's personally because I love wrestling games.

Oh, and Singstar! Cheesy

If you haven't played the next-gen sequels, these are must have:

Burnout 3
GTA series
Resident Evil 4

And these:

Final Fantasy X
the entire Jak series

Mostly re-iterating what has been said before

God of War 1 & 2
Max Payne 1 & 2
Jak 1,2,3 (haven't played X so can't comment)
ICO
Shadow of the Colossus
Katamari Damacy/We Love Katamari
Beyond Good & Evil
Any DDR game
Simpsons Hit & Run

that's all I can think of as MUST play, plenty more worth looking into
