FlipBoardHey, did you know that Sony was still producing new PS2s up until this week? They were, but now that’s all over. Yes, he most successful home console of all time (if you include handhelds the Nintendo DS edges it out slightly) is finally being put to rest.
Since it launched over 12-years ago, over 150-million Playstation 2 units and 1.6 billion PS2 games have been sold. It was the rare system that really, truly had something for everyone. The PS2 managed to vastly expand the video game market, while still providing plenty of excellent content for hardened core gamers.
So, what did you folks think about the PS2? What were your favorite games and experiences with the system?

The God of War and Ratchet and Clank franchises were consistently good, and I’ll always love The Indigo Prophecy.
Does that mean that they’ll finally let most PS3’s play PS2 games now?
LOLz yeah right
Hitman Blood Money.
My PS2 was the first console I didn’t have to share. After the original Gameboy, that is, since that predated the sibling. I guess I’m lucky enough to have a gen 1 PS3, I can still play all my games. As far as experiences, I love the Timesplitter series. I haven’t played better multiplayer on a single screen FPS.
Timesplitters 2 and marijuana were like to two most important parts of my junior year of high school.
There was a high-five moment in the theater during Shaun of the Dead over Timesplitters 2. Luckily, it was U.S. release day, and there were half a dozen people there. Also, I am older than you.
Before the official PS2 network adapter was released Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 supported a few USB modems. There weren’t a whole lot of people playing online at the time so it was a really cool experience and nearly lag free over 56k. I also spent a lot of time playing Twisted Metal Black and SSX3, both games that have yet to be surpassed in their respective franchises.
The first game I played for the PS2 was Zone of Enders. I was blown away with how fast and pretty the combat was in the game. I knew right then that this system was going to be something special.
Still is, and probably forever will be my favorite console of all time.
Love my PS2. It’s kinda just sitting there right now, but it is probably my favorite console, right up there with my SNES. So much fun, so many quality games.

Hey make sure not to off the system cause I don’t have a memory card. We got one night to do this thing.
Games I have very fond memories of playing are Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X, Spider-Man 2, Rez and God of War.
