Well, I had given a well deserved break to my PS2 when I decided to buy an Xbox 360 console. 

Yesterday, at my local Gamestop, I found a very cheap copy of Ico.  I had been looking for that game for the longest time.  So, I was looking forward to getting home and plugging my venerable PS2 again. 

I didn't realise how much I have missed it.  First of all, Ico is an absolute gem.  Even better than I had thought at first.  This game is art.  I will commit and try to play it without a walkthrough.  After 2 hours of game time, I decided to give Final Fantasy X a try.  I had bought it but never got around to actually playing it.  And wow!  The graphics are awesome!  The music, combat...great!  And I realise I never finished Final Fantasy XII. 

Guess it's time to give my 360 a well deserved break.  I wonder if I can get Silent Hill 2 cheap on ebay...

Then, if you haven't, buy a PS3 for Last Guardian and Vs XIII. :D You must finish XII dude, that FF possibly has my favorite battle system among all FFs. Silent Hill 2 looks awesome, that game has aged well. We need a Silent Hil, MGS, FF, DMC collection.

I HATE YOU, YOU LUCKY BASTARD! 

The only Ico I came across was 70 bucks. :'( 
I dream of finding it cheaply. 

Playstation 2, still the best console ever made.  <3

And shall forever be.

Gotta love the PS2, aside from my PS1 I probably play it more than any of my consoles (and I have a lot of consoles which I play frequently). You did luck out finding a cheap copy of ICO. One thing for those spending way to much for it. Buy the PAL version, it's usually way cheaper online, and it actually has an NTSC mode.

But..There will not be a Ico Colletion?

Shush. 

I only have a wii. :P 

I bought Persona 4 for $9, Kingdom Hears for $5, Kingdom Hearts 2 for $5, Xenogears 2 for $2, Grandia 2 for $2, Jeto GP for $1 and some Shadow Hearts game for $2.. That was all in the last week or so, a couple of them I found at an EB Games, but the others were being sold by some old couple with a stand at my local market.

I was mainly a Gamecube gamer during that era, so outside of Jak & Daxter, God of War, Yu-Gi-Oh: Duelist of Roses and the Dragonball Z games, I didn't really have much of a history with the PS2. I've recently been trying to catch up on all the good games

Kingdom Hearts is pretty amazing, but it's camera is really bad and the plat-forming elements are unnecessary. 

Persona 4 is amazing, but it's save system is just crazy. I go into the shadow world to fight heaps of monsters for like an hour, but then they don't have any save points within the world. So if I die, I'm screwed and I'll have to restart the dungeon all over again. It just happened to me for the first time today and I'm kind of reluctant to go back and keep playing, mainly because I have so many other games to play.

No faith in anyone topping it, ever.
