About two weeks ago, while I was on vacation, I saw a second-hand PS2 Slim on a French 'vide grenier' (a kind of fair where people sell all kinds of used stuff) for 75 euros (including two controllers and memory cards). Naturally, I bought it, because I figured I could get a lot of games I always wanted to play for a very small price. It has proven a good move, because I have so far been able to purchase GTA: San Andreas for five euros and Final Fantasy XII, Viewtiful Joe 2 and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for ten each (a local retailer sells second hand games, which helps a LOT). But since the PS2 has an immense library of good games, I'm kinda looking for advice: what are the games I should buy if I see them for a reasonable price, and what are the top games I should actively search for? I'm mostly looking for single-player experiences, but I tend to like good games regardless of the genre. The only genres I can't get into are sports and racing games. For myself, I figured this:

Actively search for:

  • Okami
  • God of War I/II
  • Devil May Cry 3
  • Kingdom Hearts 1/2
  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • Metal Gear Solid 2/3

Buy if found

  • Final Fantasy X
  • Fatal Frame games
  • God Hand
  • Ico
  • Timesplitters 2
  • Viewtiful Joe
  • Beyond Good & Evil
  • Silent Hill games
  • Psychonauts
  • Disgaea and more

Any advice from you? Thanks in advance!
