    Right so I got all nostalgic and went and bought a PS2 slim from Ebay - sold the games that came with it and then went and bought the following:

    - Ico
    - Shadow of the Collosus
    - Silpheed - The Lost Planet
    - Castle Shikigami II 2 War of Worlds

    Just wondering what you lot think are essentials for the console - I know I need to get God of War 1&2 but I was going to hold off on that double HD pack and get it with GOW3 when it is out (not got a PS3 though - well not yet)

    Please note I have and OLD fat PS2 but my GF knicked it but she also has some great games like R-Type final, Gradius V and numerous others.

    Also what would you guys consider gems on the PS1/Other platforms...? I liked the OddWorld series on PS1 - played them loads (have both games) and also Broken Sword - loved the Shmumps on the PS1/DC and have a few gmes just wondering if you guys know of any that are must have?

    I know there are some mental JP shmumps but I think I'd need either a JP PS1 or JP PS2 to play and really don't want to spend loads on a new JP console and JP games for it...

    Ball is in your AREA!

    Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of the jews :| and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater those are 2 must have ps2 games in my opinion. Also Deus Ex along with Fahrenheit are must own games in book.

    Oddworld Abe and MGS1 are two games I grew up on so they are gems in my eyes. Also not forgetting Syphon Filter 1, 2 and 3. I think the 2nd one was the best, shit load of missions, gameplay was fun and had a good story line.

    Beyond Good & Evil, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 and Okami come to mind. Also Resident Evil 4 if you never played that, since IMO it's the best in the series. I have quite a few PS2 games but most of them are probably not the type you'd like, as in RPGs and obscure shit like that.

    Some more games that stood out on the PlayStation 2:

    Burnout 3: Takedown
    Devil May Cry 3 (This one is personally my favourite in the series)
    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 (It's a JRPG, but apparently an excellent one)
    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (The best PoP out of the first three IMO)

    Games that didn't stand out but I played to death:

    Armored Core: Last Raven (mecha)
    Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner (mecha)
    Front Mission 5 (mecha, US import)

    Cheers for the replies so far... Maybe others will have more views on their personal classics too - some you lot list I will have or probably played but some I ight not and this thread might help others too :)

    Played all of those BUT MGS3. Still got the art book for MGS2, I even dug out the first PS1 MGS the other day - it's mazing how far games have progressed over the past 10 or so years :)

    The GF has Okami - still sealed - I know it's a crime! Never played Beyond Good and Evil - is that available on Originals?

    I've got Resi 4 on GC but never really appreciated (liked) the way it works - the combat/movement always put me off.

    Only played DMC1 & DMC2 - plan to catch up with DMC3 & DMC4. As for JRPGs I have a few to get through as is and time is my greatest enemy when it comes to games that consume time :( I spent DAYS on FFVII - was hardly out of my PS1 until I did everything I could in that game! Never played any FF after that because of the time spent on FFVII :(

    I only played the PoP: SOT demo - never really owned any of those so might check the good ol ebay for those.

    Anyone every play Psychonauts or OddWorld Strangers Wrath? Nempthis you realy like those mechas huh - did you ever try Steel Battalion?

    I bought some Old Xbox games recently - they are:
    - Psychonauts
    - OddWorld: Strangers Wrath (Unfortunately M$ has not updated support for this game)
    - Panzer Dragoon Orta

    I know about Steel Battalion but I've never played it due to the costly controller and limited stock. It seemed very intriguing but back then I had no job so it just didn't seem like the greatest investment for my money.

    I had Psychonauts and and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. Psychonauts was weird in a great way, but unfortunately I lost interest before completion because I was surrounded by so many other good games at the time. Stranger's Wrath was an alright shooter but I would have preferred a more old school Oddworld game. My favourite was always Abe's Odyssey, I used to repeat the introduction word for word, good times.

    Dude I love the Abe's games - both were good but Oddysee was immense - maybe they should remake one for XBLA? The did come close with Shadow Complex!

    First time I saw the opening I was blown away! Are there many other games like that one? Heart of Darkness was decent and anyone play X2?

    Memories :)

    And Heart of Darkness reminds me of Flashback or Anotherworld

    I remember Heart of Darkness. Is it just me or was the game annoyingly hard? Maybe it's because I was quite young when I played it, but gawd it pissed me off back then. Unlike Abe's Odyssey, which was amusing because even the deaths were funny.

    It was tough but enjoyable - I never did complete it though! I agree with you about the Oddworld games - so enjoyable and well designed - love it when you controlled those robot legged things!
