Firstly, Good FRESH Topic, I was meaning to start the exact same one, but out of whole career on GS, I only started two or three posts, so I never got to it. It ended up slipping my mind and I'm glad you brought it up.

Secondly, Look at my PS2 list. I bought these games based on Gamespot and other major gamin g websites. I'm not the kind to waste money on something I don't know, and Inever rent (I can find better use for that money). Now if you look at my Dreamcast list (My gameboy colour list surprisingly has great reviews, but I never used to go on Gamespot when I wanted to buy a GBC games). You can see that some games are rated poor (for good reason).. However, if theres one thing that makes me contradict the way I buy a game is this: I LOVED SOnic Shuffle for the Dreamcast, but it was given a 5.4 (or 5.6) score...Maybe its because as a kid my standards for gaming was real low (The Dreamcast was my first, so the fact that I owned one was enough for me).

Lastly, I am REALLY satisfied with my PS2 list, everything I own is something I personally do not hate. Great great games.

Hey, I saw this forum before on Gamespot, so Im going to copy n paste the list I gave that person:

Smackdown vs Raw 2006 (good online or offline)

Smackdown vs Raw 2007

Smackdown Here Comes The Pain

Ratchet Deadlocked (Two player Co op story)

Ratchet Up Your Arsenal (Offline Competitive/Co Op, but you need multitap for up to 4 people, or online for Co-op or competive for up to 8 players)

Some game thats titled something like "Baldurs Alliance" or something, I cant remember, but it is a co-op as well

Nhl 2k5 (Its an old game, but 2k5, and past is real fun)

Ea's Nhl games (2004 is probably the best one)

NBA Street Volume games are real fun (I prefer Street VOl. 2 but thats my bias)

Basically any sports games

If you have online, choose Burnout (I like 3, but again, my bias, or Revenge is fun too) Offline you can play party crash, which can be  co-op or competitive. Online on Burnout 3 and Revenge is alot more fun though

GTA: San Andreas has a two player, though its not the best multiplayer Co Op out there

Tekken Tag Team, if you can find that game

Ratchet And Clank Deadlocked (offline/online)

And thats about all I can remember, so check them out cuz i took along time writing this out lol

I too have to say Metal Gear Solid 3- I just couldnt get into it- the cutscenes (although nice) were too long, the way Snake moved was crap, and although the stealth was cool, moving to kill someone was too hard. Maybe I needed to fix something in options, but I borrowed it from a friend so it was ok.

Also, Final Fantasy XII or something, the one with Sin and that guy with the sword in the ocean shores on the box cover. I went pretty far, but the story confused me, so it wasnt totally boring but I hated the fighting (Dark Cloud 2 fighting style is better) and the storyline cinfused me. Maybe its because I was new to FF, so I'm not going to be so harsh on it like I was to MGS3.
