I'm holding a PlayStation controller in my hands for the first time ever, and I gotta say, it feels...weird. After four years of GameCube, it's just a really odd feeling. I mean, yeah, getting a PlayStation2 for the first time in 2006 is WAY behind the times. This, I know. It's just a bit befuddling. The PS2 start-up screen that plays before every game? I don't know what it looks like. I don't even know that it exists. What the hell is this right analog stick for? The camera? Is it a spare just in case the other one needs to take a shit, what? What exactly ARE the graphics like? Better than the GCN? Worse? Exactly alike? What games should I avoid right off the bat? Which ones are awesome that I don't know about?
...That's my boggle.

i actually just got my first Gamecube a month ago. i used to play GC all the time at microplay, but it did take me time to get used to the controller after 8 or 9 years of holding a playstation controller.

I don't see PS2 as behind the times at all. You play games and watch DVD's, what more could you possibly need?
Better graphics? Who gives a toss.

Graphics for PS2 are great, but can be Choppy at times depending on what game. X-box has better IMO.

PS2 is totally behind the times, BUT, since PS2 and PS1 games look like s*** on PS3, there's nothing wrong with getting one.
Games to definitely get: God of War, Mercanaries: Playground of Destruction, Destroy All Humans, X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Metal Gear Solid 3, Smackdown 2007 if you want
Games to avoid: Family Guy. Anything that costs less than $15 as I gaurantee you there's a reason its so cheap. Smackdown vs RAW (The one with Vince's face on the cover. Horrible game) any of the Legends of Wrestling games. Thats all I can think of right now.

The right analog stick can be used for the camera in FPS games and stuff like that. It' s also used to perform grapples in SmackDown! Vs Raw 2007 ( left stick to move, arrows to taunt. ). Also, you can press on theses sticks, and when you do this, they are considered as the L3 and R3 buttons. You almost never need these buttons, though, but it can help in some games, like, again, SD! Vs Raw 2007 ( R3 performs special grapples NOT THE FINISHERS !! ), or the GTA series ( in VC and SA, L3 for ducking, R3 for watching behind you. It might be the opposite, though, 'cuz I haven' t played it in a while ).
But most of the time, you don' t need the right stick at all.

Yes those Nerf controllers look awesome, if they made them for 360 I'd get 2 but I dont play my PS2 anymore. Pity, they could've prevented the 5 holes SD vs RAW 2006 put in my wall (But not the one in my kitchen cause by a running big boot after losing Culdcept too many times)

I'd go with Resident Evil 4 & God of War right away. You can't go wrong with those picks.

Horrible game) any of the Legends of Wrestling games. Thats all I can think of right now. So....the following games have something wrong with them? Ratchet & Clank - $10 Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando - $12 Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal - $15 Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - $7 Jak II - $8 Jak 3 - $15 I seem to remember the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank series being 2 of the best PS2 franchises around.....not all games that are $15 and below have something wrong with them.....it just means the games are old....

Someone said Smackdown vs. RAW is terrible? I love it....
My recommendations (in addition to those already stated):
Final Fantasy XII, the latest Dynasty Warriors game (if you like beat'm-ups), Socom games if you like FPS online, Ring of Red, Onimusha, and there are more but I'm not at my house right now to look at my collection.

I should've phrased it better and said brand new games that debut at that price, "budget games", not greatest hits or old games. IE, the legions of crappy racing and shooter games that are brand new $9.99. There's a reason its that cheap. Its crap.

I got four games this morning: Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and, just for kicks, Shadow the Hedgehog. Yes, I know it's bad. No, I do not care.
I already have Resident Evil 4 for the GCN, so I really see no reason why I should get it for the PS2.
