If I have not played the following games?

  • FF7
  • RE4
  • God of War
  • God of War 2
  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Okami
  • ICO
  • Metal Gear Solid series
  • Shadow of the Colossus

Add any popular/noteworthy games for PS2 and I have probably never played them. I want to go back and play them really bad ( getting a PS3 soon ), but will it be worth it? Is is worth it to go back and play all of these games? What are some other games, from PS2/1 that are worth playing?

Being a gamer isn't defined by the games you have played.
You are a gamer if you have a passion for video games.

Do you play and like video games?

If you answered "Yes" to this question, then congratulations, you're a gamer!

Oh so true.
I still want to play these games though, out of my passion for videogames.  :P

for 2000 dollars, you can have my 60 GB PS3 that has full backwards compatibility. =P

But yeah, your a gamer. But I would check out these games, cause you are definitely missing out.

I agree with Soulless. If you have a passion for games and gaming in general, then you're a gamer! "Gamer" is just a tag, and a tag, in my opinion, is something that  holds only as much meaning as YOU give it.

To be a gamer, all you need is your love for video games.  Thats it.

You are still a gamer. In my opinion a gamer is defined not by what he/she has played, but rather by the commitment and involvement he/she shows towards gaming. If you love to game, you are a gamer in my books.

If the only game you play is Line Rider on the DS then you are still considered a gamer. Being a gamer means you play video games. That's all.

You're a gamer TC, you just haven't played any of the popular games.  Granted only about half those games are going to seem good to you. 


It's all about nostalgia, for example, FF7 won't have the same effect on a new gamer as it did with those in 97.  You can't get the same experience.

You are gonna waste money on a game that you can play for free? Unless they are adding bajallion of new stuff then it will be worth buying (only if you are really a Line Rider hardcore)

If you signed up for this site it's safe to say you're a gamer lol.

I enjoyed every single game you mentioned, but they're not for everyone.

Give them a try for sure.

Yeah it all depends on the amount of new stuff they add. However, the concept of it on DS just sounds interesting ( and I love portability! )

You got to play that MGS series (rated Mature incase you're a kiddie, then don't play them).  Those are the real deal right there.  And since they put out the essential set (1-3 together), there's no excuse about not finding them either.  Plus 4 just came out, so there, play those first. 

After you beat all of those, you will compare every other action game you play to them.
