Done with the lists

O.K done with those 2 PS2 lists, Now it's time for NC2 review for MobyGames, providing downloads and other stuff, I'm also gonna look for a PS2 multi-tap. I've also downloaded the DOS and arcade games i wanted to download ( I couldn't download the original Command & Conquer cause it was more than 1GB, well I think it's going to wait.) I found naruto konoha Senki and I didn't understand a single word of it. I hoped it would be an action game that wouldn't really need you to know japanese, but it was those kind of "can't do anything at all if you don't know japanese" Strategy RPGs, (well, that's going to wait too.)
Other stuff I've been into these days:

Listening to Korn's Untitled Album
Gathering Info about DOOM WADs and engines
Downloading GTA2
Reading Street Fighter IV (PC) and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (Wii) reviews
Gathering Info about Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

Multitap 4 Player PS2 Games

Seventh Gen consoles have dedicated themselves to online-gaming and old school split-screen is gone even from most racing games. This is not bad because finding someone to play online with is really easier than finding someone that can actually come to your place in order to play with you. However recently my friends come along to visit (usually my cousins) and when we want to play some game, two of us have to watch the others play, and it's really annoying. That made me think that maybe I should buy a Multi-Tap for my good-old PS2. I did some searches on the web to find out what games support the multi-tap, and the results were not so nice. Usually people stated "PS2 doesn't have any good 4 Player games". However I gathered information about PS2 games that support Multi-Tap (Mostly from mobygames.com, but also from different forums and back cover of some games I already had) and then I compiled a list sorting them by their "Game Rankings" score (which is the average critic score) and the result was surprising! Not that PS2 has good 4 player games, but in fact it has lots of it. I had to censor most sports titles to prevent overcrowding and let the best game for each sport to stay on the list. So here's the TOP50 4-Player PS2 Game: (click on the game title to go to its gamespot main page or click on the score to read its review)

FPS on PS2

XBOX has HALO and Game Cube has Metroid so what about PS2? We all know that Killzone didn't exactly "Kill" Halo, but that doesn't mean that PS2 doesn't have any FPS. Even though most PS2 FPS titles are multiplatform FPS titles, there are plenty of games to play if you've got a PS2 and no PC (or a slow PC). An advantage that PS2 has over XBOX and Game Cube is backward capability, so PS2 can run PS1 games. This list is a mixture of PS1 and PS2 FPS games you can play on your PS2, so here's the TOP50 PS2 FPS. Games are sorted out by their "Game Rankings" score (which is the average press score), click on the game title to go to its gamespot main page or click on the score to read its review.
