    For various reasons, my gaming right now is mostly limited to the good ol Playstation 2. And after investigating a bit, I discovered that, holy shit, I actually missed a LOT of great games back in the day. And I'm sure I missed more in my search.

    So, what are your favorite PS2 titles? I'm particularly looking for horror games right now, because Halloween, and in general I prefer RPGs. That said, I'm up for anything. Give me a title, and I'm sure I'll get to it eventually.

    KH kicked ass, and I'm currently working my way through Final Mix+. Grinding takes longer then I remember, but Sephiroth is no longer a pushover, I already know Lingering Will is gonna beat my ass a few times before I get the hang of it, and the tournaments are driving me nuts. Only at lvl 70, and I can't read japanese, but I'm having a hell of a time anyway.

    BLACK is a great FPS. God of War series is good. Star Wars Battle Front 2 is another good one. Uhh let's see, on the RPG side Champions of Norrath and Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance come to mind. Probably lots more I'm forgetting.

    If you're looking for some sleepless nights I recommend Fatal Frame. It's basically a Japanese teenager wandering around a haunted house-the catch, she can only see them through her camera. It's fucking terrifying.

    Kingdom Hearts, SMT Nocturne, Final Fantasy X(probably in the minority here), and Xenosaga all rank pretty highly for me.

    As far as RPGs go, Rogue Galaxy is still the game I measure other RPGs by. Might be thinking back on it with rose-tinted glasses, but I loved that game. Final Fantasy X was absolutely fantastic as well, the best of the whole series in my opinion. I'll second Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2, great games.

    There were some really great FPS games too. Timesplitters 2 was a super-fun sci-fi FPS. I seem to remember the story was whatever but the gameplay was really fun and there were a lot of different game modes and challenges. Battlefront 2 was great -- the campaign was reasonably entertaining and the custom battles you could create kept me playing it for years (I still play it on Steam from time to time...). Call of Duty 2 was also really great as I recall (CoD 3 was more polished but had less content iirc -- still pretty enjoyable to me but if you have to choose go with 2).

    Also, I have no idea if you're at all interested in racing games, but I have very fond memories of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix.

    I need to download an emulator and replay some of these games.....

    Star Wars Battlefront 2 was my game man. So good. I'll 3rd that rec.

    Also will second the rec on Black. It's a pretty good fps.

    The Devil May Cry series is good too. Well, the second game not so much but 1 and 3 are good.

    Ratchet and Clank many an hour was spent playing that game. This ranks up with Pokemon on the games which shaped my childhood.
