      Downhill domination and rumble racing are two I often go back and play. Shox is another fun racing game made by ea big that doesn't get much love.

    Darkwatch on ps2 was as you say, a ripper. An FPS set in the Old West with vampires, Demon's, and other creepies.

    man I loved enter the matrix. played that game until the disc wouldn't read. I do remember some bugginess but it didn't detract from my experience much. I just loved the cinematic feeling to the game, it felt so expensive. plus with the live action scenes shot specifically for the game. I remember back then thinking those graphics were hyper-realistic, ah good times.

  • @JoeNayDoh

    Couldn't agree more with RAD and Chaos Legion. Love both those games. If I had to recommend another it would have to be Shadow of Destiny/Memories (Just realizing how many games love to use "Shadow of" in their titles lol).
    I'm a sucker for time travel stories and this one does not disappoint with tons of time travel shenanigans with you trying to solve your own murder and I think the game has something like 7 endings so plenty of replay action

    Dude thanks so much for reminding me of Way of the Samurai. I remember renting it back in the day and having fun with it, but never got around to buying it. As the years went by i would remember playing it and want to get back into it but could never remember what it was called. Searches of ps2 samurai game would just bring up Onimusha and Jade Empire. Finally i can emulate . . . er, legitimatly buy a copy along with a working ps2. Thanks guys

    I can already slay demons in style on the go on my Nintendo Switch with the Devil May Cry trilogy.
    I also want to brutally beat up bad guys on my Switch too with God Hand.

    Why are your ps2 case spines white. It looks so nice. Is it a regional thing or a custom job? I am in The USA and my spines are mostly colored images matching the color scheme of the cover art.

    I don’t know if he will change the music at the beginning to make it sound better. I’m tired of hearing it. I don’t know if the picture will be better with fighting action and animation. I don’t know you 100%
