![]() Unfortunately I didn’t get to play it on Christmas day because my original PS2 was one of the defective first batch that had a “single use” power switch. This was the ‘other’ game that I was gifted with the system that fateful Christmas day not long after the console launched. Note: This doesn’t mean I won’t talk about some of them individually in the future… As I’ve not been doing much else gaming-type this week I thought I’d briefly just run through the pile (in no specific order) and say something about each one, you in? Cool! I’ll get started! The featured picture (at the top there) shows the current collection of my PS2 games that are sat on that shelf and I’ve enjoyed flicking through the boxes and firing up the odd one of them it that great nostalgia filled way that resonates whenever we rediscover something that we once knew so well. The games ( aside from a few, including the Guitar Heroes that are safely still with my Brother) made it home and, after some gentle persuasion, my Wife agreed that we could clear one of the shelves on our board gaming bookcase for retro games, so I now feel like we’ve really moved in to the house. Sure enough my Brother did (and still does) have some of that collection, but many of my favourites were missing and no amount of searching repeatedly in the place that I knew they were could change that.įinally, last week, my Mother and I ( quick shout out here because I know that she reads this “Hi Mom!”) delved into the depths of the attic cupboard at my old family home and revealed yet more of my belongings that I neither remembered putting there or have space for in my house, but we did find that elusive box of PS2 games, my original PS1 and 2 consoles, the guitar hero controller … and an EyeToy… The crouton-on-the-soup was that I was pretty sure that I had packed up my favourite PS2 games and brought them with me to our new home (well, almost four years ‘new’ now) and stashed the remainder safely with my Brother. The problem is that I couldn’t track down my PS2 games for younger readers you may have yet to experience your belongings being scattered between various places due to moving from ‘home’, maybe away to study, some tiny flat somewhere, or a house that you’re trying to decorate and fit a loft hatch in. Sure, I have a Switch now, and it’s great, but most of my gaming is firmly in PC territory. ![]() ![]() Remember way back at the beginning of October when I wrote about wanting to revisit Silent Hill 2 in that month’s editorial? No? … hmmmm… anyway, the whole thing got me hankering for some PlayStation 2 action, after all the PS2 was the last console that I was heavily invested in.
