It seems that great games are harder to find for the PS2 these days. Sure there's GTA:SA, but eventually my other gaming tendencies need nourishment. None more than my thirst for the first-person shooter games. I do own an Xbox, but I only use to play Halo and as a paper weight. My point is that there are no Halo caliber games on the PS2 and I'm not sure if there ever will be one. Another thing that gets me upset is when game developers make multi-platform games, and then makes the PS2 version extra crappy.( i.e. Ghost Recon 2) It just doesn't seem as if there will ever be a fair agreement between game developers and Sony. It's also about time for an upgrade for the PS2, because the graphics need to be on par with the other next gen consoles. It's been 4 years sony its about time that you can up with a new console. The handheld is nice but we need more fire power. Also game developers STOP MAKING CRAPPY GAMES FOR THE PS2!! It's time to get beyond the disappointments(Kill zone) and on to the future.

Never in my life have I ever experienced such anguish with any gaming system in my life. I am speaking of this, because my PS2 just destroyed my copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This isn't the first game its destroyed, its just the last time I can put up with it. NBA Street, Madden 2004, and Medal of Honor: Frontline have all fallen victim of my PS2. I am slightly releaved that there is a newer version, but I'm not sure if im ready to invest 150 bucks into it. I paid 300 dollars for my PS2 when it came out. I have built an amazing collection over the 3 1/2 years that i've owned. Now some may say 4 games out of 160 is not that bad. But those were 4 of my favorites. I cannot tolerate the disk-read errors, the freezing up, nor the destruction of games any more.

These are the ratings for Ace Combat 5 and GTA: SA. Ace Combat 5 was not given justice today! The person that reviewed the game had absolutly nothing bad to say about the game, yet it recieves a score lower than its predicesor. WTF! Who ever decide to rate this game an 8.3 needs to have their head examined, because they obviously have some screws lose somewhere. On the subject of GTA: SA, I believe that is the right score for the game, and the series has a perfect sweep in rank at 9.6. I am looking foreward to getting my hand son this game very soon. But I can't let go of the Ahole that decided to score AC5 so low. This game gave me goosebumps everytime I saw the preview. I was constantly checking screenshots and videos everyday. And to put it frankly I wouldn't even be a member of Gamespot today if it hadn't been for Ace Combat 5. For shame on the staff at Gamespot. They really need to re-evaluate this game and give it the proper score, regardless if it borrows some concepts of the original game. You don't here people complaining about the similarities between GTA: VC and GTA: III. Because they are 2 different games. AC4 and AC5 are two different games. One is wayu more in dept than the other one. And to say that they are the same is absurd. Who in the hell died and made them the king of deciding the premium quality of the game. Let me stop while im heated so that I can calm down. I will not rest until Ace Combat 5 is given its just dues.
