My PS2 selection is admittedly very small, I got it late in the console's life; I have more than three games, but those three are the ones I enjoy most of all and the others aren't worth mentioning so much.

Don't have an XBox.

Anyone listing PS2 games who does not include Okami is clearly mental in the heads, and should see doctors.

Final Fantasy 12 for the PS2. It's what FF should always have been. Now we just need to get rid of the androgynous males...

どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

Never heard of it but after taking a trip through Google I see it's an action/adventure game and I've passed on that genre.

Me too. Couldn't very well have an opinion on a game I've never played. Unfortunately, I can't find the game anywhere now.

Black was underrated? Most reviews I saw were pretty spot on. Fun to blow shit up, no multiplayer, enemy AI could use some work.
