So, I'm getting really really really bored of the computer, so I need some entertainment for the weekdays.
I'm driving up to EBGames tomorrow to buy a new game or 2 to keep me occupied. These are the exceptions:
- $50 or under.
- No Final Fantasy games. (beat them all)
- No FPS games. (fps suck for ps)
- Adventure games. (not sure the exact name, but like FF games where you're a mage/warrior/bows blahblahblah etc..)
That's about it.
Beyond Good and Evil.
Hm... Mercenaries?
I don't have many PS2 games so I can't recommend a whole lot, but it's the console I stuck most with.
Shadow of the Colossus
Prince of Persia series?
God of War?
Okami?
Don't know the prices..
Just showing good adventure games...
I've heard it's good.Quote:

It's better if you watch videos of it. It's a fun game, and has a great story.Quote:

To tell the truth, not really. While the game does have a time attack mode and extra weapons and stuff you can unlock by playing said time attack, and extra difficulties, there isn't much hidden stuff.Quote:

So, not much stuff to do once you beat it other than time attack and trying to get faster times, but it's a damn good game. And I think it's only around 25$ now.
Okami is awesome...
You are a japanese God in the body of a fox or wolf... I think it's a fox
And you have THE BRUSH as your magical weapon...
With the brush you create lots of things and use your god powers...
It's so beautiful and free...
Some compare to Zelda...
Sad part is that I stopped playing cause I have no idea what to do...
Never bothered to search... I might do this now =D
No offense guys, Okami looks really lame. I'm not a fan of the Asian style game.
I still recommend Beyond Good and Evil.
Even though it's "Asian style", Tales of the Abyss is a pretty good game.
Intro...
Gameplay...
Well it's not really like God of War or Shadow of the Colossus...
There are no bloody battles..
But it's more of a logical game...
And the graphics are so ****ing cool...
Otherwise you could try the Prince of Persia ones..
Probably you already have...
What I really wanted for PS2 is Assassin's Creed :/
To be honest, the last decent Tales game was Tales of Symphonia, and even I thought that was crap. They are just using rehashed story every single time, except for Tales of Phantasia, that game was purely epic.Quote:

If you're interested in a platformer, the Ratchet and Clank series is supposed to be pretty decent. Never played it myself but always wanted to try some of the latest ones.
@Vesper;
I watched about 3 reviews on Beyond Good and Evil, and in each review the reviewer said that the gameplay way very repetitive and the graphics overshadow the gameplay.
@Abysmal;
The gameplay in Tales of the Abyss looks really good, sorta like a FF style, but if I had to listen to that squeeky girls voice screaming chinese/japanese things whenever she attacked, I'd probably shoot myself. If it's cheap enough, I'll probably get it though.
God Hand, I have Beyond Good & Evil on gametap if you ever feel like trying it, I personally got bored pretty fast.
Try getting GoW 1/2, or Ratchet and Clank.
Beat GoW 1&2.Quote:

It's just as hard to find as FF7.
I thought Beyond Good and Evil had a very unique story-line, not everything is as cut and dry as it seems. It adds elements like taking pictures of the local wildlife to gain extra cash and getting upgrades for your camera. It has many side missions you can participate in such as races and combat mini-games, you just have to look for them throughout the game.
I give it an 8/10, one of the few games where I actually beat it in a couple sittings (played about 8 hours straight each sitting).
I have the urge to tell you to look for a PS2 game that happens to share your username, if you don't mind mindless beat-em-up gamesQuote:
