Okay. Within the next couple days I'll be picking up a PS2. The reason I waited so long? Not entirely sure. Doesn't really matter though. But I do acknowledge I have tons of gaming to catch up on...so.

Anyone and everyone out there, I wanna hear your opinion.

What 5 games, Import/Domestic/Whatever, would be your 'absolute' must-have titles. No more than 5. Don't let obscure niche titles fall in favor of the well known populars.

The sum and substance of what the PS2 has accomplished in the past few years.

Let me have it.

Ico, Rez, Tekken 5, Xenosaga (I honestly never played it, but it's important for it's storytelling aspects- I like hour-long cutscenes, so there! :angry: ) and Gran Turismo 3.

Oh, not to tell people what their list should be but...probably a good idea to keep it to PS2 only games. I already have Rez for the Dreamcast.

Damn, make sure you get Gradius V and R-type Final. Soul Calibur 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 are now bargain priced, so I'd pick them up as well.
I've heard great things about MGS3, but have yet to play it.

Blaine phrased this topic in an interesting fashion, and I think Loopz' list out of whats been posted best encapsulates with the PS2 is all about, rather than simply good games. However, mine would be:

-Tekken 5
-Katamari Damacy
-ICO
-Devil May Cry (any of them I suppose, although I enjoyed 1 far more than 2, haven't played 3)
-Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

I think the above list best represents the "types" of games that debut on the PS2. Honorable mentions go to:

-Rygar
-Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies
-Contra: Shattered Soldier
