PS2 - The Games of Summer 2006

What can you look forward to in-between all those BBQs and movie outings? Though the PlayStation 3 is the hot topic on everyone's lips, the PlayStation 2's heart is still beating like a drum. The number of great games on the horizon is quite staggering, and we're already seeing hints of software that'll keep us glued to our PS2's long after the PS3 is attached to our HD sets. Indeed, this may wind up being one of the PS2's best year ever.

A good portion of our anticipated titles is due for release over the next few months -- the "Games of Summer" if you will. From racing to adventure to RPGs to fighting to football, we're on the verge of release for a number of great-looking stuff.

Dirge of cerberus: FF7. Well for one I'm a big fan of the series. I look at this game the way FFX2 was made and I like that game.. The second game is Rule Of Rose. That game just seems interesting, plus I want to see what all the controvery surrounding this game is about. The last game will be Super Dragon Ball Z. Just because I had all the other ones, so why not continue.

The Industry Needs To Modernize These 6 Fantastic Classics

The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.

The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.

OtterX2d ago

I'd add Rogue Galaxy, Shadow of the Colossus.

Silent Hill 3 was straight up sorcery. It has better hair animation than most modern games, which is wild to me.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see many of these games return on PS+.

I wish they'd re release those ultimate alliance games. I'd buy both of them. I missed them on ps4 unfortunately. If only they'd have released them physically

Is this a list of the best marvel games on PS2 or a list of all the marvel games on PS2?

QuantumMechanic3d ago

I'd say neither; it's a partial list of some of the PS2 games, with mixed quality.

P_Bomb3d ago

I’ve owned almost all these, lol! Still have a handful on disc. Good times.

chicken_in_the_corn3d ago

I've always wanted to play The Punisher

If you can, you should. I think the type of gameplay still holds up.
