There was a time in the last couple of years when people were sounding the death knell for PS2, writing off its many years of world class service because the of the latest technology.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the gaming forum - people kept buying the games, kept investing in their trusted old companion and spurned the likes of the PS3.
Catching on to this, there is now a whole new PS2 on the horizon and maybe, just maybe, it's worth keeping abreast of just which games made Sony's adolescent a contender for best console ever.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
