PlayStation 2 Games Buying Guide
|
Okay, so maybe PS2 doesn't have the best visual capabilities or processing speed, but they sure have some sweet games. The real beauty of having a PS2 is that Sony often puts out games that are exclusive to the console. These games, however, aren't the standard "exclusive" games that no one really cares about. Some of the most popular games out there were exclusive only to PS2. You'll be laughing at XBox owners who can't play the elusive Resident Evil 4. Graphics and processing speed aren't everything!
