SSX Tricky?

I can hardly remember what I had now. I'll have a look next time I'm passing the cupboard.

If you like a shooter, I always thought the original killzone was cracking, and Black was good too. Not online, but good story modes.

Second for SSX, also the GTA series was awesome, remember sinking months of my life into that.

Oh yes of course, GTA Vice City.

There's the Final Fantasy games too of course.

Transformers (though there may be crap Transformers games too), Burnout 1 and 2 and Ico spring to mind.

SSX Tricky, Metal Gear Solid 2 (I think), GTA ( The one set in Miami). Black (my favourite shooter)

Any of the dancing games + mat 😀 I defy anyone to be able to do 'Video Killed The Radio Star' on level 3- you need at least four feet (or to be sober, I suppose...)

Resident Evil 4. Superb game.

Devil May Cry is also good.

Mashed.
The single most addictive, fun and competitive multiplayer game I've ever played. You really find out which of your friends have an evil streak!

1. Downhill Domination by Incognito
2. Worms (original) by Team 17

Also enjoy Ridge Racer Type 4 but mostly for the soundtrack.

^oomoygaaaawd! +10000 for Shadow Of The Colossus. Sold my copy for squillions of squids but it's been upscaled for PS3 since so all is well 🙂

Destruction Derby was good fun. Resident Evil.

These games should be dirt cheap on ebay, etc...

'Ico' would be my 1st recommendation.

That and 'Project Eden'.

Rez is amazing, still have my copy and will buy a ps2 to play it again. Timesplitters 1&2 were great first person shooters.

Was Paparappa PS1 or PS2?

I opened this thread to post this.

The ULTIMATE student flat game - I'm struggling to think of any multiplayer game that has raised the roof the way mashed did. I've not had a PS2 for years but still keep a copy stashed away, just in case...

Timesplitters 2. I still have my PS2 in the loft and occasionally bring it down for some multiplayer gaming with a mate. if you like running around as a robot with a fishbowl for a head, shooting snowmen riding on flying carpets... then this game is for you.

I would second both

SSX Tricky - both the racing and trick aspects
Time Splitters - crazy good fun with four players

Also I can recommend Half Life, great story line

Final Fantasy 7 is still the best game ever made. Though it is grindy and these days kind of hideous.

No love for NFS ? I seem to remember playing NFS - Most Wanted from start to finish in one or two marathon sittings and then getting the thumb-jitters or was that caffeine?

Burnout 3 Takedown is fun too if you want to unleqsh some harmless some road rage and slow-mo destruction.

I would say Kula World but that is a PS1 release but still better than pretty much anything since.

Tourist Trophy by Polyphony

TT Superbikes by Jester (The first one, if you can get hold of it).

Two of the best motorcycle games ever.
Still play them regularly now.

If you want to play Worms get yourself a copy of DosBox and Worms+ and play on your PC.

I've got it working on Android 🙂
