Well, with some money I got for my birthday, I went down to my local GameStop and purchased *drum roll* a PlayStation 2. *gasp* (But, he only owns Nintendo systems. What blasphemy is this? :O)
To be honest, the PlayStation 2 was on my list of two consoles I must own, the other being the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but it is a little bit easier to find a PS2 within walking distance from your college dorm (1.25 miles away to be precise) than a Super Nintendo that you have to find somewhere on the interwebs. So, what games did I get? Yeah, heh, I should elaborate on those.
The first game I got was Gran Turismo 4. I must say, the game is stunning, and it made me realize how awesome the Dual Shock 2 is since the buttons are analog, as in they can detect how hard you are pressing them down in order to properly apply the gas and brakes. Another game I got was SOCOM 3. Eh, it is alright, but it doesn't seem like my style of game, so I might return it in a little bit; my biggest complaint is that for a game that requires you to go behind cover, it isn't exactly easy to get behind cover.
The final game I picked up was Capcom Classics Collection (Volume I). This was the most expensive game at the whopping price of $10. However, I have to say, the $10 is ver much worth it, for there are over twenty different classic Capcom arcade titles on it, ranging from 1943 (whose theme is stuck in my head), Ghosts'n Goblins (whose theme is also stuck in my head), and Street Fighter 2 (which I have very little idea about how to play). If I had to pay a quarter for every time I had to start/continue a game (after lives are lost), I probably would have paid double what the disc cost me. So, all in all, I have to say that the PS2 has a great future for me, especially when I get into the even bigger titles on the system.
