broken PS2

Get Conflict Global Storm or any of the Conflict series.. It's a co-op fps, you'll love it even if you don't like fps games

well seeing how i dont keep up with gaming what are some good titles for this?

i love RPG's so i have FFX to keep me occupied for a few weeks, racing games are good, FPS are dumb, hmmm to many games

I'm with you. The only shooters I ever liked on the PS2 was Gun and Red Dead Revolver. Never cared for the others. Unfortunately you may be SOL for other really good RPGs. FFx puts most others to shame. Yoiu can allways give FFx2 a go, but it almost leaves a bad taste in my mouth playing that one. Another REALLY good game would be Dragon Quest 8! If you're a fan of rpgs, you simply have to check this one out. Not quite as good as the FF series, but it entertained me. Levelling is a snap. I killed the final boss in one round.

Get the game God of War for PS2. That is a freakin awesome game! It's an adventure game where you use a combination of moves to take out your enemies. He uses these wicked blades on the end of chains that he swings around. It's a bloody, all out war of a game. You take on monsters 10x your size.

It was a fun game when I owned a PS2. :thumbsup:

I have the launch model...have had to clean the lens twice due to Disc Read Errors...but it works like new after you do that. It's pretty easy to do, but if anyone needs the procedure I think I got it saved.

been there the launch model is the most dust prone, whatever... easy fix

so far FFX is pretty good, last one i played was 7 and that game will forever be in my memory as the best damn game ever, the story line itself should have been made into a movie.

yeah god of war is damn good...

if you like god of war.... get prince of persia series (sands of time was the first but it wasn't quite so good, but the other two are fucking awesome.... warrior within is the 2nd, and the two thrones is the 3rd..) warrior within combined the good of both the first and second....

alot of game play, but good graphics and abilites... the first one had alot of game play, but it didn't have the graphics or the fighting capabilites of the later ones... and vice versa for the third (short game play but just fuckin awsome abilities and graphics..)

however they all share a very strong, pull you in storyline....

i forgot about those til chowder mentioned god of war (god of war is a must have for anyone with a ps2, i think it's 20 bucks now... but i bought it back when it was 50.. i've been waiting since just a month or so after the release for the 2nd one, which is due in march.. and i can't fucking wait for it...)

you also might really like shadow of the collosus.. i never ended up finishing, i sold it before i could... it only has 16 enemies.. but these are huge ass fucking enemies.. and a fight can take a good half hour.... and that's if you do everything right... you have to figure out how to take them down, then you have to do it... they are collosal creatures.. and the story line is almost tear jerking.. while the graphics are something you'd only expect to see on ps3/360... i put in hours of game play on that game and only got to enemy 9... i won't ruin the story for you, it's only 20 bucks (this one i know for a fact) and if you're not a FPS type of gamer, then this is the perfect game for you, just trust me on it and get it.

dont feel like your a little behind the times,,, ps2's rock,, by the way a have a broken one, bought a new one from my friend for 40bucks, happy about that, but i still have the old one, when i turn it on, nothing come on the screen, and disks wont read, but im guessing it need a new laser block.

Did this guy attempt to mod it? Take it apart and check the mobo. There's prolly just a bridged connection somewhere that can be cleaned up with a desoldering braid. Unless they burnt up one of the bios connections, you may be fine.
DREs are common with the ps2 and can be fixed by calibrating the laser.

Hey could you post it up? I been getting DREs with my original PS2 for awhile now, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
