Default Playstation 2 'slim line'

They aren't kidding when they say this is the slim line version are they!!

Decided to buy a new toy at the weekend to cheer myself up, as per another post about Game, nearly didn't... anyhow...

Bought a new PS2 with GT4 & Killzone + a triple pack (8mb mem card, controller and dvd remote).

I'd forgotten just how good the PS2 is, especially when you consider they are now no much bigger than a Doom3 DVD case!

GT4 is really cool, not sure about killzone yet, but haven't had much time to play on it yet.

My Xbox is going as a result, and not particularly bothered about that.

Any other titles people can recommend - not so much FPS, as I use the PC for games like that.

Cheers, Alex

Get yourself a copy of ICO ( these are still going for £40+ on ebay ) One of, if not 'the' best game on PS2 IMO..

Metal Gear Solid 3 is also a worthy title in your collection, as is the GTA series...

Cheers chap - I remember ICO, quite an old game now, but still very good.

If you've got a PS2 you have to get GTA San Andreas, The Getaway, WRC 4, Medal of Honour Frontline and Rising Sun. As already stated, ICO is an all time classic and I would also recommend it.

Another vote for MGS3.

Give the Ratchet & Clank series a look too if you like platformers.

On the FPS front - hold on a week or 2 for TimeSplitters Future Perfect.

Snap !!!!

I went out on Saturday and bought exactly the same pack (GT4, killzone and the triple pack), although I also got MGS3 and Smackdown vs Raw as well

My Xbox is going as a result, and not particularly bothered about that.
I'm keeping mine. Too much good stuff available for it. Just got the PS2 because I wanted a few PS2 only games...

Looking at getting SNK King of the Fighters, the new Street Fighter game, and a few of the titles suggested above too.

Cheers guys, will report back.
