PS1/2 PSX: Essentials

[porchemasi]

ff7 and mgs

 

[xcalibur]

No one here played any of the Digimon World games?
The first one was great but the second was horrible.
The third was good too.

 

[Jack-Of-Trades]

Xcalibur these PS essentials are based more on Hearsay than actual people playing them Wich is dam sad becuse this way the great games will never see the light of day...

I mean Look at FF7,Valkry Profile,Suikoden All very very expensive games... and i doubt half the people that chose it actually bought it...

Surprised no one mention Ikruga(SP) another highly Rare game

Yet great games such as the Mega Man Legends Series gets 1 vote? (my vote)

Armored Core gets no votes at all (popular enough to get multiable remakes)

Same goes for
Monster Rancher
Jade cocoon
Digimon Wold 1-3 (4 on GC/Xbox/PS2)

These lists are bias and not really a good list to find great games

smash buildings
eat people who go across the screen
get a special super power
to be invurnibule
that was the best game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTHING CAN BEAT THAT GAME
except MGS 1
BUT THATS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the list actually updated any more?

I didn't play much PSX but my faves are:

FFVII and FFVIII (never played IX)
Driver 1 and 2 (back in the day these games were sooo much fun for me)
Spyro (can't remember which one but I had lots of fun with a mate playing Spyro)
Croc (I think it was called Croc. Again - lots of fun with a mate on this one as well)
Crash Team Racing (great fun multiplayer. I still have this game even tho I have no PS1!)

That's all I can think of.
