    In case any folk will ask, Death by degrees is the cover image for this video. Don’t know why they didn’t mention it here, but it is a true hidden gem.

      It _shoulda_ been an _awesome_ game, but 2 problems _killed_ it.
      (1) They used one of the 2 control sticks as a _button!_ Plus, there was no (controller) option to use things called BUTTONS instead of "flick the stick". A perfect example of "What where they _thinking?!".
      (2) The "X-ray damage" animation was an interesting idea, but it was unneeded, & was _very_ badly implemented. It was more _disruptive_ (& immersion breaking) than anything else, & there was no option to turn it _off_ either.

    Jet Li's Ps2 game was such an underrated masterpiece. Way ahead of its time. Amazing attention to detail, level design, interactable destructible environments, hand-to-hand combat which one of the best uses of the dualshock 2 controller's system ever, as far as I'm concerned.

    The ps2 library cannot be surpassed by any console. I am 37 and the ps2 is not retro for me. For me retro means 8 bit to ps1. Time to time I still game on my ps2. Most recently I completed tomb raider legend.

    The 6th console generation will always be the best. Developers weren't afraid to innovate and try something new and different. They also weren't scared of offending anyone.
    The current console generation is a joke. We're halfway through the lifecycle and there's barely anything worth playing. But Sony thinks a $700 Pro model is needed for some reason.

    With so many games, there's bound to be tons that are overlooked. The most tragic ones I know of though are The Red Star, Skygunner, Robotech, and most of all, Fire Blade. Fire Blade is pretty niche, but if you like helicopters, it's the best game ever made.

    The Shadow Hearts series and Koudelka because it is in the same story line . I don’t know how many people played it but it wasn’t many but I think it deserves an hd remaster or at least a ps5 port. I know everyone that played Shadow Hearts loved it. It’s a horror Jrpg franchise and I would buy 10 copies if I could. I don’t have that kind of money. They somehow fit some into it and a love story and near incest and some really really great music, memorable characters and a lot of great content. I can not recommend it enough. I might even try to make something similar.
