Who's up for some more Sony?

While the PS1 got lots of love, the PS2 was an even more popular, possibly being the highest selling console all-time. It was one of the first gaming systems that also served as an entertainment center, doubling as not only a gaming system but a DVD and CD player as well.

More than 1200 games saw a release in NA regions, and more than triple that number worldwide. But what were the best? Join us this March in helping make that decision.

How to participate-

1. Make an ordered list of whatever games are your favorites for the system being covered that month.

-Make your list about what games you think are the best that system has to offer, NOT necessarily the most important. (For example, Super Mario Bros. is one of the most influential games in VG history, but not many would call it a better game than SMB3)

-Also, your list needs to be limited to games you have personally played. Don't include a game just because you've heard it's good, include a game because you know it's good.

-For a few of the games, try to include a few thoughts on why that particular game made your list. That way, those not as familiar with the game can see why it's one they should put on their radar.

2. Personal Message EZ Racer with your ordered list.

Just put "Top 20 games for the (whatever system we're covering that month)" in the subject line. Throughout the month, I will be compiling the results, and release a full list based on votes sent in. I will be putting extra weight on games voted for the top of the lists, so please make sure that your games are listed in numeric order. The reasoning behind a private vote is so that each member's vote can be their own, not influenced by what they think others would want.

The voting cutoff each month will be the last day of the month at 11:59 EST.

Please stick to NA and PAL releases.

Looking forward to parring this vast library down!

Oh no! This is going to be a tough one to widdle down

[Fokakis79]

I'm in!

[Mr_Stubbes]

I’m in too

[Crabmaster2000]

Got my list down to 34 by being incredibly picky. Gonna be some REALLY tough cuts from here on out to narrow it down to 20

Well, this is sad....  I have over 100 PS2 games and I can't come up with 20, I only have 14.  I've only played about a quarter of these games.  I can't put GTA in this list as I didn't play them on the PS2, only the Xbox.

Hopefully we've got people out there getting lists ready. Haven't gotten much in terms of feedback yet. When I was putting one of my own together for this, like shaggy it was harder than I thought to come up with 20 that I really believed in, but in the same breath I feel like any of my top 6 I could easily put at #1.

[ZX Kid]

I’m in

[Disposed Hero]

It'll probably be another last-minute submission, but expect a list from me also.

[Crabmaster2000]

Still having trouble getting mine down to 20

[MetalFRO]

I'll try and get something together this time.

[Crabmaster2000]

Finally got my list down to 20. Now to arrange the order :/

[Crabmaster2000]

Think I got it. Going to sit on it for a day and see how I feel in the morning. Only 7 out of my top 10 are RPGs!

I'm in the same boat. I've played embarrassingly few RPGs on the PS2. I'll need to fix that going forward! Hopefully the Top 20 list will give me some good suggestions.

[Crabmaster2000]

List sent. With how large the library is and how many great games there are to choose from I'll be surprised if more than 3 of my picks actually make the final list.
