@jhonMalcovich:

I think Dolphin is more impressive

if remakes are allowed, don't forget the PS2 has full PS1 backwards compatibility

• PS2
• SNES
• 360
• Gamecube
• Genesis

Complicated if you allow handhelds, as GBA, DS and 3DS are all great systems

PS2 got EVERY multiplat game and its popularity meant that it got ports of big games from other systems, most of which run perfectly (e.g. Resi 4, Viewtiful Joe)

Also to everyone trying to make the case that there were not enough exclusives...

Stone cold classics

• Ico
• Shadow of the Colossus
• Okami
• Devil May Cry
• Ratchet and Clank
• Gran Turismo - nothing came close to A-Spec for AGES
• Metal Gear Solid 3
• Strongest JRPG line-up of any system
  • Dark Chronicle (Cloud 2)
  • Rogue Galaxy
  • Dragon Quest VIII
  • Persona 4
  • Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII
  • Star Ocean
• God of War
• Silent Hill 2 and 3
• Sly Raccoon
• Virtua Fighter 4
• Zone of the Enders 2
• Katamari Damacy
• Disgaea
• God Hand
• Onimusha 2
• Jak and Daxter

Underrated gems

• Gregory Horror Show
• Frequency/Amplitude - Harmonix's proof of concept for Guitar Hero/Rockband
• Klonoa 2
• Project Eden
• Odin Sphere

It would be easier to make a list of great games of that generation that PS2 owners COULDN'T play

• Halo 1 - as a single player FPS it wasn't beaten, but for multiplayer I always preferred Timesplitters 2
• Ninja Gaiden - DMC 3 is arguably better, and there were also cult hits like God Hand and Viewtiful Joe
• PGR 2 - definitely better than Ridge Racer
• Panzer Dragoon Orta
• Phantom Dust
• Wind Waker - although Okami runs it close for best Zelda game of the generation
• Double Dash
• Eternal Darkness - it's not Silent Hill 2 but it is a damn good psychological horror game
• Metroid Prime
• Paper Mario Thousand Year Door - the best RPG not on PS2
• F-Zero GX - better than Wipeout any day
• Rogue Squadron
• Mario Sunshine - much better than many remember
• Smash Bros Melee

PS2, Gamecube, 3DS

Recommended 3DS:

• A Link Between Worlds - it is SO good.
• Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate - difficult but finally accessible. Dark Souls with Dinosaurs
• Mario Kart 7 - the graphics are great, and the online play is reasonably good for Nintendo. maybe skip if you have WiiU
• Fire Emblem - good tactical RPG, similar to advance wars (although i prefer Advance Wars)
• Luigi's Mansion 2
• Ghost Recon Shadow Wars - i think it is made by the guy who made the original X-Com. Really good, and very cheap unlike most 3DS titles
• Zelda Re-releases are solid

Recommended DS:

• Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story - much better than the 3DS sequel
• Advance Wars Dual Strike
• Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
• Golden Sun Dark Dawn
• FFIV

Recommended eShop:

• Crimson Shroud - D&D style tabletop RPG. Short but good
• Attack of the Friday Monsters - interesting narrative about growing up in Japan and the big monster shows of the time. Gameplay is very limited. Similar to To The Moon.
• Shovel Knight - old school NES gaming updated
• Mutant Mudds
• Steam World Dig
• Link's Awakening DX - weirdest Zelda title. Still good though. Better than the DS entries
• Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons - different feel as they are made by Capcom.
• Pullblox - fun puzzles

Not played but on my radar:

• Bravely Default
• Etrian Odyssey
• Kid Icarus
• Resident Evil Revelations
• Persona Q

Also, I don't think DMC 4 is a bad game, it's a 7/10, whereas DMC3 would be troubling the top scores.

Original Trilogy Remaster to PC and next-gen please. It's already 1080p on 360/ps3 so it shouldn't be too hard

In order of time using each:

• 3DS
• Nexus 7
• Xbox 360
• PC
• Wii U

I have less time to game, so handhelds have become my thing lately. Would love a Vita and a GBA Micro.

I'm a big FIFA player and football fan. But for other sports I don't want the full sim experince - I want things like NBA Street/NBA Jam and NFL Blitz.

Have they vanished or have I just not seen where they've gone?

Any owners of Deus Ex here?

I have a 360 and a Wii U, and a laptop that definitely isn't up to the task.

I've heard that the Wii U version is close to a "definitive" version. I hadn't heard of the frame rate issues before, are they severe?
