Building a ps2 back catalogue on PS3

Tank Top Fever!

As the title suggests I'm going to start building a library of PS2 games for myself as I never really paid much attention to the machine in the last generation

What are the essentials? I'll be picking up all the Metal Gears, GTA's, and I bought Bully, Kingdom Hearts, and Lego Star Wars I this morning

also, I've found the BC list to be a bit patchy, so if anyone has any idea how the game they're recommending works on ps3 it'd be a big help

thanks

God of war 1 and 2.
Devil may cry 3
We love katamari
shadow of the colossus
Ico(I have a spare one of these if you want)
Silent hill 2
Okami
Resi 4(if you didnt have a cube)



youd be better off with the gta on xbox though. Same with Psychonauts.

Resident evil 4 was a dud compared to the others. I wanted zombies not gunados! Silent Hill (all of them) rock!The music is always perfect.

add Devil May Cry 1 to the the list and avoid 2 like the plague.

Yup agree big time here, devil may cry 1 was genious, 2 was horrendous.

You sir are half an idiot. Resi 4 is by far the best of the series. Silent Hill is fantastic but I'd only go for SH2 and SH3 (and SH1 on PS1). SH2 is essential.

Add Gradius V to that list. It really is the best thing on the PS2 and hasn't got the attention it deserves.

Also get yourself Gitaroo Man if you can find it. Wonderful rhythm action game from the makers of Ouendan.

If your a fan of MGS get yourself Zone of Enders 2. ZOE 1 is pretty limited but ZOE 2 is one of the best action games on the PS2.

Also Final Fantasy X is the best RPG on the system.

Thanks for the suggestions, all noted, I'll be rooting through the second hand sections post haste, hopefully the ps3 can run them

the thing is, that list is a bit useless, their idea of a game with "noticable issues" might be that one of the cutscenes doesn't work properly

In reality most of the noticable issues games work fine, if you run them at 50hz if prompted to in game
