I’ve been sinking further and further into the RetroDECK time-sink of setting up my emulators just so, and having the most fun doing so. The PS2 is a largely unknown system to me, I neither had one nor spent much time before now playing through some titles.

So…this is what I have so far! Most have either HD texture packs (Rule of Rose for example, and also Silent Hill 2 has a incredibly big 29GB of HD textures, I added after taking this screenshot), or mods applied (Gran Turismo is Spec II)

I haven’t got MGS3 there, as I’m waiting for the remake to arrive, but…

Can anyone suggest any titles which are ‘must adds’ for me? I’d appreciate it!

    Most of the good stuff’s been mentioned, so some B-Sides:

    If you like JRPGs, the Xenosaga series

    NBA Street 2

    Don’t think I saw Jak and Daxter mentioned, they’re great

    Freedom Fighters is flawed but so fun

    Edit: forgot Zone of the Enders

      Loved the Xenosaga series, shame they never actually got to make the 6 games they wanted.

      Jak and Dexter games absolutely, but I actually prefer the later ones that aren’t just platforming like the first.

        Yeah, such a bummer they got shut down, especially since the gameplay was just finally getting really tight by episode 3.

        Same page on Jak and Daxter, first is definitely my least favorite, the evolution of the gunplay, exploration and vehicles was awesome.
