Where do I even start? Goddamn that's practically a greatest hits list right there! I salute whomever you inherited these from. I don't recognize all the names either, but the rest of the list is so awesome I can only assume they're just as great.

That being said... How would you, uh, feel about slipping Dark Cloud 2 my way, eh?

My personal favorites in that list are probably the .hack games (i like the original 4 then the gu trilogy, of course i also love the animes as well) and the digital devil saga. Of course the majority of that list are games I really enjoyed or want to play myself lol.

I haven't played grandia 3 myself, but that would probably be the first one i'd play from that list. Grandia 1 is one of my favorite Role playing games of all time and Grandia 2 was pretty good too.

Great list! I suppose if you like horror games silent hill are the best :)

Have you watched the .hack anime?

Oh sorry xD

I loved SAO and i would like to know if hack is something like it or different :)

SAO draws some similarities to .hack...they both take place in an online world. There is way more action in SAO than in .hack. If you like anime with the same general theme as sao its worth a watch another newer anime that is similar is log horizon, it just started though and only has 7 episodes out so far.

I heard of that anime i put it in my list of animes that i want to see, it will only have 10 episodes?

Ico and Shadow Of the Colossus are absolute classics, and the only reason I bought a PS2. Psychonauts is great too.

All of them suck, please dispose of them quickly to me. ;)

Seriously though, many of those titles are ones I'm looking to getting eventually.

The ones I've played and enjoyed:

.hack
Dark Cloud
Ico
I-Ninja
Odin Sphere
Okami (although a little long)
Radiata Stories
Shadow of the Colossus
Shinobi

Many more in that list are games I've heard are good, but have no experience with. With such great RPG titles, I'm surprised to see some obvious holes like Star Ocean: 'Til the End of Time. I hope you received them under good terms, it's quite a collection. Have fun with them, and remember us if you'd like them to go to a good home once you're done.

Personally, I would say:

Black
GTA3
GTA San Andreas
Metal Slug 4
Mortal Kombat
Resident Evil 4
Shinobi
Tony Hawk's Underground 2
Tony Hawk's Project 8
We <3 Katamari

There are quite a few highly regarded PS2 games that I haven't played yet, though.

I would like to play Ico and Shadow of Colossus they cost 20 euros both i choosed God of war 3 instead

Holy **** it's like you won the videogame lottery. I've played a bunch of these. I'm drooling over all those Atlas strategy RPGs. My favorites, and some of my favorite games ever, are:

Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
Digital Devil Saga
Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
Dragon Quest 8
Final Fantasy 10-2
God of War
Ico
Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit)
Kingdom Hearts
La Pucelle Tactics
Makai Kingdom
Odin Sphere
Okami
Phantom Brave
Psychonauts

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the choices.... What, no one liked Suikoden 4? :P

For those who are jealous, these are all top of the line, special Memorex edition games, if you follow.

That's a crazy awesome haul, ripped or otherwise :O

Anyway, most of the games there are at least decent, if not great... and the few questionable games in the bunch you can probably guess easily (yeah, I don't think Family Feud's all that great). There's too many games in there for me to recommend, I'll just cop out and say 95% of the collection's worth playing.

I just bought a PS2 and when I connect it to my LCD tv it has two fuzzy lines :(:( I checked if it was a ps fault and connected it to an old crt tv and it works perfectly. I read that it just happens for some LCD tvs. Maybe getting a component cable will help. I spent 68$ and got four games and a memory card along. I'm super sad about this now.

I borrowed my uncles ps2 because of the ps1 games i have and couldn't play and it worked fine on my LCD, alot new HDTVs do have issues with standard signal but you just probably need to get a component cable and it will be fixed :)
