Zaiqukaj has a ridiculous amount of PS and PS2 games. The list is currently only partially done.
The PS has been one of my favorite systems. Even though I have yet to touch a PS3 this series has always been pretty solid. A lot of good developers release a lot of games so the biggest strength of these fellows is their backwards compatibility and extensive game libraries.
Playstation[edit]
I still have one of these fellows hanging around for the um... 2 games I have ever encountered that are wonky on the PS2. This one was a Christmas gift from a close family friend around when I was in school. For the longest time we only had Monopoly and Spider for it. Too bad I loaned those out and never got them back.
| Game | Notes | Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Bloody Roar | This is my favorite fighting series and is probably the only one I’m not intensely bad at. | Finished most of the story modes. |
| Bomberman Fantasy Race | Have never played since I want to try it out with a friend. | N/A |
| Bomberman Party Edition | There is never too much Bomberman. | ??? |
| Bust-A-Move 4 | Always a good series for a puzzle fix! | Beaten story mode. |
| Chocobo’s Dungeon 2 | Fun battle system that is used in a lot of games. | Wark. |
| Final Fantasy Tactics | I always get stuck in the same boss fight that is only me verses 1 opponent. Since everyone suggests a very specific (very twinky) route instead of doing whats fun I’m pretty put off by this game now. I’ll stick with the Advance incarnation. | ??? |
| Ghost in the Shell | The game is fun and all, but since there is a time limit every stage AND I’m very bad at games like this I can’t get very far. | 3rd stage. |
| Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu | This game is snazzy. The way experience gained is pretty weird (in a good way). | 30% |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure | This is such a weird fighting game. It’s fun even though I suck at it. | Beaten story mode. |
| Monster Rancher | I can never beat the final tournament, my monster always dies of old age right when I reach the right rank for it. Pfft, I’m way too nice to them and can’t help it. Favorite monster = Worm. | Final tournament. |
| Monster Rancher 2 | Favorite new monster = Hopper. | Final tournament. |
| Monster Seed | I absolutely adore this game. It is horrible. | Beaten |
| Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee | I really wanted to be loyal to this series. Because of their random console jumping they have been abandoned completely by me. It’s pretty unique for a side scroller and the first 2 games in the series are highly suggested by Zaiqukaj. | Beaten. |
| Smurf Racer! | It’s so bad it’s good! *Ahem* Yeah, it’s a Mario Kart clone. Play it in French for the proper hilarity. | ??? |
| Spyro Year of the Dragon | Spyro games give me a bit of motion sickness after an hour or so thus I’m not very far. | ??? |
| Tomba! | Love this series so much! | Beaten. |
| Tomba! 2 The Evil Swine Return | Just started. | |
| Wild Arms |
Playstation 2[edit]
Of all the systems that require a TV this one gets the most use. At the moment I have 2 of these: an old model that was bough a few years after the launch and one of the new slim silver ones. It is a little bigger than a game case! This only leads me to want to wait for a smaller model of the PS3 to be released some day. I can easily wait since there is a stack of at least 20 long RPGs that have yet to be started for the PS and PS2.
My PS2 game collection has the most unplayed games in it. I'm a sucker for buying games that are under 10$ and snatch them up once they reach a target price.
| Game | Notes | Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Final Fantasy X | Cutscenes in cutscenes make this game really annoying. | 20% |
| Final Fantasy X-2 | Dreading starting this one. | Unplayed |
| Final Fantasy XII | I really like this one. The gambit thing made me fearful since I'm a big fan of turn based systems. | 60% |
| Jade Cocoon 2 | Their are a lot of fun aspects to this game. It's one of my favorites to constantly do random quests in. | Restarting again. |
| Magna Carta: Tears of blood | 0% | |
| Monster Rancher 3 | Started | |
| Monster Rancher 4 | Beaten | |
| Monster Rancher EVO | Beaten | |
| Oni | Unplayed | |
| Onimusha | My first PS2 game ever. One of my favorite hack and slash series for the system. | Beaten. |
| Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny | ??? | |
| Radiata Stories | A great game. I have to replay it since it is possible to get trapped in the dungeon before the final boss at too low of a level and not enough healing items to grind | 50% |
| Resident Evil 4 | This is a fairly interesting game. A few of the bosses are absolutely frustrating. | Beaten once |
| Shining Force Neo | Partial | |
| Super Bust-A-Move 2 | Tried | |
| Wild Arms 3 | ??? | |
| Wild Arms 4 | ??? | |
| Wild Arms 5 | ??? |
PSP[edit]
It took forever for me to buy one of these because of the outrageous price that never goes down. After getting one it was proven really worth it. The screen is easy to damage but other than that it's a hardy little machine.
The one I have is the silver one that was available last Christmas (2007).
| Game | Notes | Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness | Really standard NIS tactics game. | |
| Jeanne d'Arc | Best tactics game on the PSP I have found so far. | Beaten |
| Monster Hunter Freedom | Gameplay is Action like so I am very bad at this one. | Not far |
| Patapon | Cute + Annoying = Win | 40% |
| Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology | Towards the end |
