Which one goes in the disc tray first for you?

Pretty happy getting back into the ps2 scene again with this slim ps2 and just recently started getting games from it to save some storage on my usb. Much more games to come! Any recommendations go ahead and comment down!

I've read not the best reviews about this game so I'm not sure if I should get it despite loving the franchise...

Ps2 fat is not working for now but i hope it will work one day but the slim does work but i have no place to hook it up (i have a ps3 now) so they are gonna be a decor for my setup

If the ps1 was released in 1995 there were probably already builds since 1990, and if the ps2 was released in 2000, when it officially started the first prototypes?

1997? 1995? I keep thinking about how hard they worked to get to that level of result, to this day I am enchanted by the potential of the console.

as you can see this cable decided to pop upward and destroy one of my favorite games, what could be the reason and can i fix it at home?

I dont think its complete

I'd put this on par with OOT, Gran Turismo 3, Timesplitters 2, Medievil, MGS2, MGS3.

This game and it's environments are blowing me away over 20 years after its release.

I was 15 when it came out, and I literally cannot believe how good this game is. The combat is so satisfying, the spectacle of it's artwork and surroundings.

It's like Devil May Cry on acid. Can't believe I missed this 20 years ago....

Is its sequel any good?

Truly, I believe that game design peaked around this era and I wish it never evolved... Just built upon. Timesplitters 2, Gran Turismo 3, REmake, THPS3, MGS, Primal, Mercenaries, Silent Hill 2 etc.

They all had character, and the graphics were good enough to be immersive. Studios had bigger budgets. Just the golden era. Obviously biased as I was young then, but it was an objectively better time.

Hello everyone! Recently I was cleaning up my basement and found my ps2 and I have an older tv that has component inputs on it. Ordered up myself a set of component cables and bought some classic games I loved when I was a kid. In my haste in wanting to get the ole girl up and running I forgot I need to be able to change the output on the ps2 to component… is there any way for me to do this with the regular RCA cable that came with the ps2? Or am I screwed until I get myself either an hdmi adapter or a RCA to component adapter so I can change the setting? Thank you!

BlueRetro adapter has newest firmware and rumble enabled in the settings. I have confirmed the rumble is working using FreeMcBoot and PadTest, but I put Blood Roar or Tekken in my PS2 Slim and there's no rumble?

Is this an issue with a combo BlueRetro/DS3/PS2? I've tried 2 different PS2 slim consoles and it's the same on both

EDIT: I just tried Tekken 4 (PS2 game) and rumble works fine.

Hello, i have been trying to connect my ps2 to my monitor and after buying all sort of things (ps2 to hdmi converter and all that) it appears my screen is green. When i google it they just say to swich to rgb in the system configuration but when i do that my screen gets no signal.

UPDATE: i actually fixed it! To be honest i dont know how, i just turned it on and off a couple of times and it started to show the correct colors.

After fussing around with component cables and having some issues with my ODV GBS-C Converter. I finally decided to listen to so many posts saying PS2 SCART is "better" and looking to buy a SCART cable, but they all look exactly the same.

I am also hearing that there are a slew of fake cables on Amazon? is AE(Ali Express) any better? is there something I can determine from the images or can I only tell by taking the connector apart. I just want to try something other than Component since I had that for years.

coming to an end already. its been an amazing journey to kill 16 colossus…

I didn't want to upload a dozen images, but I figured one beauty shot was a good start.

For those who don't know me, I write a blog focused on the PS2 era, and I just wrapped up a deep dive ranking the absolute best licensed games on the console.

As you guys know, the majority of licensed games are trash that are grabs for cash. But there are some exceptions: games that really capture the mood and feel of its source material. The technical term is thematic integration. This post is about identifying the games that do the best job of this, AND are so well designed they are some of the best games on the console. Several very good games didn’t make the cut because they excelled as adaptations without quite reaching the level of the PS2’s elite.

Several good adaptations missed my top cut because, while great fanservice, they didn't quite hit that elite gameplay tier. Here is the final lineup that made the cut:

• 007: Everything or Nothing
• Def Jam: Fight for NY
• Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
• Marvel Ultimate Alliance
• Peter Jackson’s King Kong
• Spider-Man 2
• The Return of the King
• The Simpsons: Hit & Run
• The Warriors
• WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain
• WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2006
• Honorable Mention: The Punisher

Here’s a sample write-up from the piece covering why Everything or Nothing took the Bond spot over Nightfire:

007: Everything or Nothing is way more than just a solid movie tie-in, it’s maybe the best Pierce Brosnan Bond film we never got, fully playable and totally original. Instead of adapting an existing movie, EA created a new Bond adventure with Brosnan investigating a plot by rogue KGB agent (voiced by Willem Dafoe), who wants to use stolen nanotechnology to threaten the world. It’s often considered a continuation of Die Another Day.

The game moves away from the first-person view made famous by GoldenEye and puts Bond in a cinematic third-person action setting. It mixes gunfights, stealth, gadget puzzles, vehicle chases, and globe-trotting scenes in places like Egypt, New Orleans, and Peru. With Brosnan, Judi Dench, and John Cleese returning to their film roles, a strong co-op campaign, and “Bond Moments” that reward good play, Everything or Nothing brings out what makes James Bond so popular: style, cleverness, adventure, and big action. It’s one of the best licensed PS2 games overall, and still the best Bond game on the PS2.

I go into full breakdowns for every game on the list over on my blog. Drop a comment if you want the link and I'll send it over

If you think I missed a big one let me know.

I was finishing putting back together a ps2 fat and i pluged it in and flipped the switch and.. nothing. Maybe its a flat cabke for the power button and thats why but somebody help please

I haven't played the game, but I'm sure I would have played and enjoyed it if it had been released on PlayStation 2.

Like Lego Batman
