My PS2 backlog is horrendous. I blame this partially (only partially?) on my own lack of self-control and the extremely cheap cost of pre-owned PS2 games, a library which continues to grow with the passage of time. Some of the greatest games of five or so years ago are now cheaper than many of the bite-sized offerings of the XBLA/PSN crowd, which doesn't help their case a whole lot.
As such, I have piles of these things lying around and they're all becoming slowly worthless. So rather than fob them off on Blockbusters (currently having its own issues with obsolescence) for a buck each, which is practically criminal, I'm keeping them all using up space I don't really have.
Since I don't have magical time powers like that tiny dog with glasses from that one TV show we never got in the UK but gets referenced endlessly by other shows we do get, I haven't been able to complete all the PS2 games I've collected over the years. That's where this list comes in. I can shift stuff around and prioritize as needed. Hopefully I can clear some of the backlog before I buy another dozen games in a closing down sale [see "Blockbusters" above].

The sequel to Champions of Norrath, still conspicuously missing "EverQuest" from its title (did they think console gamers hated MMOs? It's a fair assumption). Much like the first, only more difficult since it was one of those "import your high level characters from the first game into it" instances.
I have a Dragon Ball Z game? I don't remember this. I must've got it in that huge bundle I was bequeathed a few months back. So, uh, I should probably try it right? I mean it's Dragon Ball Z, but these games are supposed to be pretty okay.
I didn't really give this game a chance. Most of the missions are time-based, sort of like Dead Rising or Mask of Majora (almost the same game, incidentally), except you aren't allowed to restart the clock. It seems you have to be everywhere at once in the one playthrough. I couldn't figure out what I was doing. I might give it another shot, being older and wiser (code for "better access to GameFAQs").
A little more frantic than Parappa, but has the same kind of absurd humor. I can only get so far, though, because my controller is falling apart and can't take it. If I ever get it replaced, I'll be sure to try this again.
A game I have yet to try, it came to me in a large bundle of others. I only have passing familiarity with it. It's on the backlog.
I'm no fan of stealth-based games (though I enjoyed the Riddick games when I beat them not long ago), so I'm apprehensive about this one. The Hitman games tend to be reviewed favorably though, so it's entirely possible I'll enjoy it.
God Hand's a curious beast. Like Dead Rising or Psychonauts, you have to look past a lot of faults and be damn good at it to appreciate it fully. I started getting my ass beat way too often and lost focus though, which I'm slightly abashed about.
Ah, the Legacy of Kain series. It's pretty much entirely flown me by, having only played the first Soul Reaver, a little. If I want to catch up with this series, I have the means to do so.
I got all three of the LOTR games, out of order and for barely no cost, and haven't really got too far with any of them. Fellowship seems set up the most "RPG-ish", as the road out of the Shire was apparently paved with fetch quests. I'll do a sanity-wrecking playthrough of all three consecutively at some point.
See above. I haven't even touched Two Towers yet. I basically bought it because I already had the other two.
