Featuring a built-in DVD player and internet access, the PS2 was an ambitious and full home entertainment package.

It released way back in 2000, sothese features were pretty cutting edge.

There weresome games it seemed like literally everyone owned.

Since you cant possibly hope to play them all, how about reading about the first ten instead?

A-Train 6 featured the same core gameplay as previous iterations, focussing on train simulation and city management.

A great way to show off the capabilities of the new console.

Basically an early drum version of Guitar Hero.

If this sounds like your jam, get out into those arcades and start hunting for this game.

The game features mechanics FromSoftware is known for, weird and obtuse weapon systems, and freakish enemies.

Shogi is often referred to as Japanese chess.

The game features a 9x9 board and 20 tiles that allow for different kinds of movement.

The gameplay revolves around clearing encroaching cubes before they reach the player.

There are normal cubes, advantage cubes, and forbidden cubes.

Seems like this game was inspired by the sci-fi horror Cube (1997).

Honestly, like all puzzles and board games, I.Q.

Remix+: Intelligent Qube is easier to understand once youve seen it in action.

The game was well-received by critics, who thought it was challenging mentally if not a little graphically underwhelming.

TheDead or Aliveseries is still going strong today.

They function a bit like rock paper scissors.

Many levels featured multi-tiered stages with hazards such as falls and ice.

The game was praised for its realistic interiors and drivers view.

Even YouTube only has videos of other console versions or later installments of the series.

Konami would go on to produce a few more of these titles, including 2002’s Eisei Meijin VI.
