I finally bought that PS2 I've been saving up for, and dang was it a good deal. In all, I got the system, three games (007 Nightfire, Hard Hitter Tennis, and NBA Live 2001), a multitap, three controllers, and three memory cards for only $40. That's less than a single, new PS2 game by itself. All together now. . . . "DAAAAAMMMNN!!!!!" ^_~
So far I've tried out 007 Nightfire's multiplayer mode a bit, but other than that I've just been hooking the system up, putting the old PS1 away with the NES, and getting things organized. (Don't you just love the mad rush of activity whenever you get a new console and then find you have nowhere to put it?) I also tried out Chrono Cross, a PS1 game, in it and it worked fine; I'll probably try out a DVD in it either Thursday or Friday. It'll be nice to finally have a DVD player of my own in my room, even if it is crappy quality. I figure that since my TV and VCR are both crappy it'll match up fine, heh.
So I've sort of made a little pact with myself: I'm not going to buy any games for the PS2 until I finish up Zelda: The Wind Waker on the GCN. All I have left to do is go through Ganon's Tower, get pictographs (and from those, figurines) of a Mighty Darknut and Puppet Ganon, then beat Ganon himself, and I'll be completely done with my second quest file. I've kind of been stalling on that, however, as I've been playing F-Zero GX and SSB Melee instead of beating TWW. I don't know why, but I've never really liked beating games; the idea of an end boss just isn't that appealing to me for some reason, even if I've already beaten the game before and know I'll totally kick its butt with no problem. Stange, isn't it? But I guess I'll just have to push through and try to get some enjoyment out of totally thrashing the seven bosses in Ganon's Tower, heh.
Once I do get around to beating TWW though, I'm thinking I'm going to take a look at what GameStop has in their "cheap, older PS2 games" section to see if they have anything good. I'm hoping to pick up a copy of FFX some time, if only so that I can form an opinion of my own about the game. Some people seem to think it's awesome, and some absolutely can't stand it, so I'm wondering just what the game does that can so polarize people about it. Other than that, though, I don't have any specific games in mind; it'll really just depend on what GameStop has cheap. If anyone has any suggestions, post a comment and I'll consider them.
