Out of all my game consoles if there is one console that i have enjoyed the most and played the most is none other than my beloved ps2 :Dand on this date three years back i bought myself a Playstation 2 :D. So here it is, my 150 th blog , and i will share my entire PS2 and games experience that i had with you guys :D .so lets begin it
How i got my PS2

I had first bought a ps 1 right at the time when ps2 was lauched in america , at that time i was 18 and all i can do was beg my parents to get me a ps2 and they wont help me get one :( and the fact they dont like me gaming, they said if you need a ps2 , you better get it on your own , so i decided then that one day i ll get myself a ps2 from my own money :) and then i started saving my pocket money for a ps2 , i would try to save my money every single way that i could by ,like not buying any new clothes , spending less on my motorcycle , friends and all the junk food that i used to spend a lot :P, and the fact that my ps 1 was new , i didnt missed a ps2 that much and later in the years when games like grand theft auto 3 , jak and daxter , wwf smackdown just bring it hit the ps2 , my thirst for a ps2 went to an all time high and after that i started saving even more money , i was saving 95% of my pocket money.
I used to only take out my money only for buying gifts for my friends on thier birthdays and when i felt that it was necessary to spend ,i still remember that time when it was my best friends birthday in 2002 and every year i used to spend a lot on his birthday like buying him loads of gifts and buying myself new clothes for the party and for the very first time ,i didnt bought myself any new clothes , and only bought a gift for my friend, and after that i realised that i am right:D and i used to be a fool :P all those years when i always bought new clothes, shoes , perfumes and other stuff almost every week . and this entire thirst of getting a ps2 not only taught me on how hard it is to save money ,but also taught me the value of money and i started respecting my parents even more, i realised then that how hard it is to save money and how parents save money for thier kids and fulfill thier dreams :). and in three years i was ready to get myself a ps2 ,but i didnt bought myself a ps2 coz i wanted to get my Ps2 when the time was right , i had saved loads of money in the year 2003 from which i could have easily got a ps2 with alteast 20 games from day 1 :D, but i had other plans for the ps2
A Promise to my Brother
Every year i used to wait for summer holidays so that my cousin brother come to stay at my place and we play some games on it, and i still remember the time of november 2003,it was winter here and my cousin bro had come to my place for a week holiday snd for the first time we saw a show on games called Gamer Tv, and it showed some reviews of ps2 games like jak and daxter , metal gears solid 2, need for speed hot pursuit 2 and my brother said wow:D,games could be this good ,its a dream to get games like that , i gaved him a naughty smile :) and told him that hey bro our dreams are about to come true very soon :D, and he asked me how on earth is this possible for us to get a ps2 ?, and i showed him my bank account and he was :shock: shocked to see that i have around 500 us$ with me:P ,and he didnt believed his eyes and said what are we waiting for ?, lets get a ps2 now , and i told him not now coz i have some really wild plans for our ps2 dream,we ll have to wait till april 2004 summer holidays coz its the best time that we can enjoy ,and if we get it now , we ll hardly get any time to enjoy it :P, so he agreed with me and went back home and said, bro you are just awesome :), its going to be our biggest dream in life to come true :D, and will be waiting for summer hoildays, and now all i had to do was get some games before i get my ps2 and i had this crazy idea of collecting games first for my ps2 and you guys wont believe it , i collected more than 30 games before getting a PS 2:P ,
Finally a Playstation 2
ON March 20th 2004, i couldnt wait any longer to get a Ps2 :D and the fact that i had more than 30 plus games for the ps2, I finally bought myself a Playstation 2 :) and it was one of the best moments of my entire life :D ,i kept it sealed for two weeks and in April when my bro finally came for summer holidays , surprise surprise,its a Ps 2 :D, another shock:shock: for my brother :P and after that it was history :D
Let the games begin
Time to make dreams come true :), the day was set and we finally unpacked our PS2 and played all the 30 plus games :P, each of the 30 games were played for some 30 mins to say the least :wink: and after playing nonstop for 16 plus hours , we felt like that we are not living in the real world :shock: and we are living in the gaming world :P, we were so excited for this day and it was worth the wait :D , it was a feeling like we have conquered a kingdom :P and after playing all the games for sometime we decided to begin our very first game .The very first game we played on my ps2 was none other than this awesomeness , which doesnt needs any introduction.
Prince of Persia Sands of Time - it was an awesome game to look at (just like gears of war feels today :P), not only were the graphics Superb , the gameplay , storyline, music and charachters were just awesome:D, and prince of persia sands of time instantly became my favourite ps2 game :D.


the storyline was just perfect and gameplay was something which i had never done in gaming before and after beating the sands of time , i was in 7th heaven :) .Soon after beating prince of persia sands of time i played
007 James Bond Everything or Nothing - now this game was certainly our types , shooting , run and gun , third person non stop action with some vehicle sequences and gadgets :P


so we started this awesome game and right after beating the very first mission of the game we both were stunned :shock: , this game truly amazed us and it was the best action adventure game that we had ever played at that time , and in just a couple of days we beat james bond everything or nothing :D, this game was the best bond game that we had ever played.and after beating these 2 awesome games we decided to lay the smack down :P
WWE Smackdown Here Comes The Pain - we started directly to a royal rumble match and we picked our favourite wrestlers and guess what in the end i was left with the cpu , i was hbk and the cpu was kurt angle , i was about to be eliminated , but i turned the tables and sweet chin music kurt angle :P and won the rumble :wink: , after that we played this game nonstop for 30 plus hours :shock: , and believe me guys, we never had so much fun enjoying a video game this much before in our lives .


we tried every single match and every single wrestler it has to offer , table matches ,ladder matches, hardcore matches , elimination chambers ,steele cage , you name it , we were totally addicted to gaming and after a couple of weeks playing wwe smackdown , we decided to do some platforming :D
Jak and Daxter The Precursors Legacy - we used to like platformers a lot on my ps 1 and nes and on the ps2 the only platformer that we had were Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank :D.


so we played jak and daxter first and right from the start to the end of this game , this fm radio called daxter :P kept us entertained throughout the game and it was a blast to play this awesome platformer which i still consider it one of the best platformers till now.
Time for some More Action
It was time for us to play an FPS on the ps2 and we didnt had that much variety of fps , so we decided to play
Medal of Honor Frontline - from the moment i grabbed my ps2 controller for this game , i first felt a bit uncomfortable , but after playing a couple of missions, it felt awesome and we realized that fps games can also work well on a console if the controls are properly done :D.then after this fps it was time for us to feel the Need For Speed :P
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 - i have always bought a racing game whenever i ve bought a console coz racing games are the best way to check out how far your console can go and handle it :), it was a mindblowing experience to say for me with nfs hot pursuit 2 , the graphics and sound were superb and at that time it was the best racing game for me , i have played all the games in the nfs franchise before and this one left me wanting for more and more :D


The variety of cars and tracks kept me going on and on for weeks ,the game had some of my favourite cars of all times incuding lambhorginis, porsches , ferraris , mercedes ,and bmw s :D it was the best racing game experience i ever had in my life :). after that it was time for some crazy gun shooting in
Van Helsing - this game was based on the movie van helsing and was a blast to play on the ps2 , the action was quite similiar to devil may cry ,and from start to finish ,this gunslinger was an awesome experience :), the boss fights were cool and the story was amazing :D after beating this game we had our summer holidays over by that time and my bro had to get back to his home :(,but like they say , the show must go on :D and it did as i played some more awesome games on it over the years and i never stopped playing my ps2 :),and now i ll share with u guys my top 5 ps2 game franchises that i have enjoyed the most .so lets start from

5) Burnout Series - this game franchise is one of the fastest and most craziest racing games that i have ever played :P, it all started for me when i bought burnout 3 takedown and this game impressed me a lot and later i bought some previous burnout games too and enjoyd them too


but Burnout 3 was the best of them all and later i also got burnout revenge which was even better then burnout 3 and all i got to say is that burnout is the best racing game franchise for me on the ps2

4) Jak and Daxter Series - the jak and daxter series is the best platformer that i have enjoyed more than any other platformer on the ps2 ,i have beaten the first one , really looking foward to complete rest of the games including jak2, jak 3 and daxter .i also like ratchet and clank , sly cooper and viewtiful joe , but jak and daxter is the complete package to me :D

3) God of War - the blades of chaos :D, man this game surprised me when i first saw its trailer and when it got reviewed right here at Gamespot ,all i wanted was to get my hands on it and in just a week after seeing its review , i got myself god of war and all i can say about this game is that it was phenomenal :),


i dont have words for this awesome masterpiece, the gameplay and visuals in god of war amazed me and kept me playing it over and over on different difficulty settings and now i ll be getting its sequel pretty soon :wink:
2) Prince of Persia Trilogy - the persian prince stoled my heart with its awesome story and gameplay in all 3 games and its my favourite action adventure trilogy of all times , right when i beat sands of time , all i wanted was a sequel and the sequel Prince of Persia Warrior Within not only lived up to my expectations , but also became my favourite prince of persia game of all times , and if someone asks me , which was my favourite prince of persia game, than it has to be Warrior Within


the prince s attitude and the new dark theme with some heavy metal music made me like warrior within even more :D and then the end to the trilogy , Prince of Persia The Two Thrones, the final chapter in this awesome trilogy amazed me , and this time the Dark Prince stole the show for me , i loved playing as the dark prince in the game :), though it was for a limited time in the game , but still was fun to play and it was a perfect end to a perfect trilogy.


and now my favourite game franchise of all times, not only is this my favourite on the ps2 , but on all gaming platforms, this franchise that i am talking about is none other than
1) The Grand Theft Auto Franchise - when i first played grand theft auto on my ps 1 , i enjoyed it a lot ,and at that time with the top down perspective it was still an awesome game to play:D, and when i played grand theft auto 3 for the very first time, i was impressed by it with its superb gameplay and storyline, awesome soundtrack and graphics, it was in full 3d with open ended gameplay, go any where , shoot anybody kind of stuff, and it was truly an awesome game to play


the first gta game on the ps2 was grand theft auto liberty city, it had some great missions and an awesome storyline with some side missions that kept me playing it for weeks and weeks and it never got old , and right after beating gta 3, it instantly became my favourite game on the ps2 and after gta 3.


i played gta vice city , now this grand theft auto was even better than the original and improved a lot from its predecessor and it also had the best soundtracks ever in a vidoe game, i still play vice city a lot , just coz of its amazing soundtracks and the main charachter tommy vercetti himself, this guy had a very cool attitude and out of all three grand theft auto s from liberty city to san andreas, i liked tommy vercetti s attitude :), i also found that gta vice city s mission were much longer ,easier and enjoyable than gta 3 ,and it was a great game set in miami from the 80s:D, the games visual were awesome and there was hardly any framrerate issues with this game, and after beating gta vice city , i played

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas - if there is any game that i have enjoyed the most and played like hell for nonstop hours then its none other than grand theft auto san andreas, i enjoyed the grand theft auto series even more coz i played all of them in a row, first i beat gta 3 in 5 days, then i beat gta vice city in a weeks time and right after beating gta vice city , i started playing gta san andreas :D, and all i can say about it is that i dont have words to describe this game , it is pure awesomeness , it tells the story of a family, its about brotherhood, about friendship , about betrayal and about trust :D, this game had everything and is still my favourite game of all times, i had completed this game threee times and played it for some 60 plus hous , and i still want more of it :P






grand theft auto san andreas is my no 1 game on Ps2 :D and now i cant wait for Grand Theft Auto V :D, which i am sure will be revolutionary :D. with that said i ll end my 150 th blog with my favourite video of all times , i hope you guys enjoyed reading my blog, it took me 5 plus hours to write it :),
