Tempted to buy an Xbox360, but bought a PS2 instead!

[vrykyl]

thought about an xbox360....but decided i could never cheat on my gamecube with another console love my cube tho...i buy cheap old games for it off ebay all the time - never get fakes cos the tiny little discs are a pain to copy i guess!

Code veronica isnt up to the technical standards of resi 4 but i felt it had a more engaging story. It doesnt offer anywehere near the lifespan of resident evil 4 though- must be 100hours of gameplay in that

I must say. Code Veronica almost made me buy a DC on the spot when I saw and tried the demo at HMV. I could watch the intro in a loop, and really enjoyed the gameplay of the demo.

But I have no TV... I don't suppose that a PS2 hooked up to a 24" TFT with some sort of adapter would look good right?

There are a bunch of PS2 games I'd love to try... and both the console and games should be pretty affordable now.

You can buy adapaters which allow the xbox and the ps2 to be hooked up to a tft from maplins. l'll grab a link for you.

I've heard great things about it, it's coming out for PC though so i will buy it for that instead

Actually one of the £5 games i got was resident evil - code veronica

Any other suggestions for good games for PS2, feel free to let me know

OH WOW really? PC version? god I hope so!, Loved all the previous resident evil games, playing on Playstation AND pc. Controls are fine, great games!


w00t, all excited now..

Cheers. I have seen those things before, but I am wondering if they work well.

RE4's controls, just like the rest of the game, have nothing in common with the previous games. so it's not a simple comparison.

only one device works well, and it's over a hundred quid

[vrykyl]

what device would that be? iv been trying to get a better picture outa my gamecube...atm its hooked up to a 20" tft via composite...im guessing one of these boxes wont give better picture quality? my problem is that the composite input on my screen is only 50hz.....so i cant play any of my lovely looking 60hz gamecube games would a convertor box help? I tried a composite to svideo adapter and A. it was rubbish image quality B. still didnt work right in 60hz mode

any ideas?

gran turismo 4. the gta games, bishi bashi special (good luck), pro evo 4 (just as good as 5, much cheaper)

I got GT4 for £12.99 very good game had a lot of fun playing against my brother, Dont like football games (But i know how awesome it is for fans) Bishi bashi special? never heard of that what is it about??

SSX, lots of fun imho.

SSX definetly want that played it ages ago, just wondering what the best version is?

"Buzz!"

Fun game to play with your mates

Another game i will get if i can find it cheap enough, looks a right laugh

You will have hours and hours of fun with Burnout Revenge. Especially if you have friends

Not got many friends (Well there all serious family men now )

Devil may cry is awesome on of the only good games on the ps2 Buy the metal gear solid games, very cheap now if you look around!

Got metal gear solid 3 snake eater, will give devil may cry another chance i think

OH WOW really? PC version? god I hope so!, Loved all the previous resident evil games, playing on Playstation AND pc. Controls are fine, great games!


w00t, all excited now..

bishi bashi special is a world class button bashing postpub game from the ps1. most. fun. ever..

best ssx is probably the last one if its still the same price as the others - tricky was the same as 1 but with a few more tracks..

I've only ever played the original, used to play it all the time with my mates before we went out, that sorta game.

[Spud1]

SSX Tricky is only a fiver on play, and SSX3 is pretty cool too. Snowboarding is THE best sport out there, you need it on your console Although the gamecube versions are (once again) better gfx/control wise

Resi 4 is worth getting too, I agree with the others about the PC version, I think it just won't work on the PC. Silent Hill series, Metal Gear series, Resident evil series - I have played them all on a mixture of PC/Consoles, and the PC versions never have decent controls You really need a gamecube pad adapter to play them properly on the PC, but failing that a PS2 pad works as well, although not quite as well

Good choice

For me it's games like this that mean the XBOX 360 will ultimately not touch the PS2/3 in the market.

I love Bishi Bashi Special + Eye Toy + Buzz, the XBOX has had no innovative games/entertainment like these three and that PS2 guitar game looks legendary (beer fueled jamming session in the living room soon).

ahh but where the ps2 misses out is the ultimate bongo games from the gc.. ahh.. bongos..

[5lab]

Allmost as daft as the superscope, who realy needs a shoulder mounted bazooka in their living room (great fun though)

Am I a sad muppet if I'm thinking about getting a dance mat for my PS2 ? (a little clue, I'm 33 married and have a 7 month old boy, so probably yes).
