Looking for a good game to play? Can’t quite pony up the money for a next-gen (now current gen) console? Then you might look at IGN’s Top 25 Playstation 2 Games of All Time. The list is being gradually released this week, so check IGN for updates. I’m currently playing number 22 on the list, Kingdom Hearts, a game from 2002. Just because a game is old (or so last-gen) doesn’t mean it’s not good. Kingdom Hearts can be picked up for $19.99, as is the case for many of the games on the list. If you’re looking for great games on a librarian’s salary, this list can help.
Update: There is also a Top 25 GameCube Games of All Time, as well as a Top 25 Xbox Games of All Time.
Gamespy did a top 25 PS2 list last year as well. I hope you are enjoying Kingdom Hearts (even with the goofy camera). I’ve been a SquareSoft fan for years so the juxtaposition of Disney and Square characters is fun.
I picked up Beyond Good & Evil for (also on the top 25 GameCube games list too) for $15. I haven’t dug too far in yet, but thanks for the suggestion.
Good games on a librarian’s budget…
