Anyway, i was wondering what are some of you favorites for the xbox and ps2, i don't have many games for either system and think that some suggestions from the forum might lead me to find something i might like and pick up. (I pretty much have all i want for GC
No need to mention halo, ninja gaiden, otogi, panzer dragoon orta, and stranger's wrath (i have them)
On the ps2 side i have DMC3, MGS3, Shadow of the colossus, and okami (i should mention i'm going to get god hand)
So yeah, i'd like to hear what some of your favorites/recomendations are. I also hear good things about psychonauts, anyone here confirm/object?

If you're going to import stuff Melty Blood and Simple 2000 Series Vol. 81: The Chikyuu Boueigun 2 are must-buys.
For horror you should get Project Zero. I haven't played any other horror games (though I have played self-proclaimed horror games like FEAR that aren't really horror) so I can't make much of a comparison.
Shinobi or Kunoichi (Nightshade) are pretty cool action games.
Disgaea is pretty funny but you need to grind a bit (~4 grind levels : 1 story level) to keep your levels up.
We
Katamari is a nice game.Rygar is pretty fun, too.
I hear God of War is a good game.

Monster Rancher 2, 3, and 4.
Though Surprisingly enough 3 is my favorite of the PS2 ones even though 4 is more traditional.
Plus I'm a big fan of all the DDR's.

Thanks for all the mentioned titles, but as far as rpg's go, i usually dislike them unless they do something different. So while disgaea maybe be a good tactics rpg, it really doesn't do anything thats truly different from ogre tactics or ff tactics (in my opinion), and i hate the level grind, I mean i REALLY hate to level grind, it pisses me off to no end. SO thanks for mentioning some good rpg's but, if you can tell my why their different from other rpgs I'd be more intrested, I have no problem replay old games alot, in fact i prefer it, so thats why i insist on rpg's to be different
I also hate everything star wars, unless its jedi outcast, but thats becuase that game is like no other FPS i ever played before
KDR: i how does Katamari play, i can't imagine rolling a ball of stuff around to be much fun, but then again i could be wrong
I've played shinobi, but i think ninga gaiden is better
I'd also like to hear from some one whose played god of war and Devil may cry 3, to tell me how God of War stacks up in the genre of action games.
Capamerica: How was Phantom Dust? It looked intresting but i read the single player sucks, and the multiplayer is where its at, but i doubt i'd see many poeple on live playing this game

Say you have a character and you've been concentrating on being able to hack, and you're kind of weak in the up front fight department. You walk into a room guarded by 6 guys and a giant mech. You can either engage them in an up front fight, sneak into the ducts and avoid them completely, or, utilizing your skills, hack the mech and blow up all the guards before self-destructing the mech. You have lots of little freedoms like that in the game. It's not as emergent as advertised but it's pretty damn cool anyway.
I can't think of any game that's given me that experience (other than its sister game Project Snowblind, and its predecessor) but it's a fantastic experience. Ignore the haters, they're usually suffering from PC bias (Deus Ex 2 is very console-ized, so it alienated all the PC gamers).
