Hi all

Just was hoping to get a few games for the PS2, missed out on shadow of collossus for £3 today and also saw Metal Gear solid 3 for a £1.

Missed out due to my lack of knowledge about all things gamey really.

Thanks for any help given

Cheers evil-orko. Reading more about shadow of collosuss, I'm gutted i missed out on that!

[walker13.1]

Devil May Cry is a good series.

[Ericnilla]

for fighting games The Tekken series is great, Rival Schools, Bloody Roar, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2... and for racing Gran Turismo 3 and 4 are great~!

and said above the Gran Theft Auto and Resident Evil series' are always good.

[Dabeavis]

Just to name a few great ones

Rachet & Clank (Series of 3D platforming games)

Dragon Quest VII - Journey of the Cursed King (RPG)

Urban Reign (Beatemup/Fighting Game)

WWE Smackdown - Here Comes the Pain (The last Smackdown Game prior to SmackDown vs Raw)

Red Dead Revolver (some say it's lousy, but I think it's good)

[TwoHeadedBoy]

My favourites have more of an "arcade" flavour to them:

-Gradius V (rock-hard horizontal shooter)
-Splatter Master (scrolling beat-em-up, you play as a scarecrow with chainsaws for arms!)
-Homura ("bullet-hell" shooter, with a feudal Japan setting)
-Zombie Virus (drive around in an ambulance, running over zombies for points)
-Flipnic (weird pinball game)
-Earth Defense Force (blow up building-sized insects with a range of over-the-top weapons)
-Mr. Moskeeto (play as a mosquito and suck blood from people without getting caught/swatted)
-Fantavision (try and create the best fireworks display possible)
-18 Wheeler (juggernaut-racing, really good in 2-player mode)
-Mad Maestro (conduct an orchestra, like Guitar Hero but for people who prefer classical music)
-Sky Odyssey (difficult but ultimately relaxing flight simulator)

Most of these (with the exception of Gradius V and Homura) can be got for less than £5 on Amazon UK, just so you know.

You can't go wrong with the compilation games like
Capcom Classic vol 1 or 2
Snk Vol 1 and I think there is a 2
Sega Genesis Classics
Metal Slug Anthology
to name a few.

Then there is Odin Sphere, a quirky action RPG with the most beautiful 2d graphics.

[ChristianG]

Certainly food for thought, cheers people.

Also, Taito Legends 1 & 2 (giving you the likes of Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Bust-A-Move 2 etc) and Midway Arcade Treasures (all your Mortal Kombats and Smash TV and stuff).

[Daxel101uk]

I would look out for personally any of the Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto Games, Defo those arcade/megadrive classics for Altered Beast and Khameleon Kid especially Thumbs Up!!

Right. I forgot across the pond, it's the Megadrive and not the Genesis.

[ChristianG]

So far I have played a few games with my 5 year old son and they have been ok. Shrek, ben 10, jak and dexter, might have to get ratchet and clank I remember that being fun, hopefully his age group.

For myself I have completed God of War, I liked that and it entertained me for hours for only a £1.

I have completed Call Of Duty 3, enjoyed that, just sadly didn't feel that free to randomly kill and roam.

I now am trying to move ahead in GTA San Andreas, I'm enjoying it, but I have used a cheat to get lots of money, its for the weapons, I really enjoyed the take over the hood part where you're killing gang members.

Might have to get The Getaway Black Monday as i remember playing the getaway back in the early 00's and enjoying it massivly, albeit a very short lived game at 15 hours completed.

Thaks for the suggestions, I should've bought the resident evils and silent hill I saw but was saving the pennies for the big LRG haul that never materialised, don't ya just hate that!

[TOPHER]

Recomended games for 5 year old boys.

TOP-5 Pick

Hockey
Soccer
Toys
HotWheels and more Toys
Educational Toys
