What are some good PS2 games for adults over 30?

Yeah, I have a job and not all day to learn a bunch of moves and nerdy stuff. What’s a good PS2 game where I can cut to the chase? I already have Madden and some boxing game.

Ratchet & Clank (any of them) – platformer with lots of weapons, and isn’t too hard.

Burnout (any of them) – racing game where you earn points by smashing into your opponents causing giant pile-ups and explosions. Especially fun after a bad day’s commute.

Katamari Damacy (strange, simple, addictive) – your father, king of the cosmos, has destroyed all the stars in the sky. You must make new ones by pushing your sticky ball, called a katamari, around on Earth picking up everything from pushpins, to entire continents. Throw in a catchy soundtrack, and you’ve got one of the best games for the PS2.

Dynasty Warriors (my favorite is 5, but any of them are good) – Play one of 60 different warriors from from China’s feudal period as you try to unite all of China under one ruler. You’re but a single warrior on the field with 1000s of others. Fight your way through the masses to take out the enemy commanders. As your character becomes stronger and stronger, the battles begin to resemble something from those bad kung-fu movies they used to show on TV. The combat system is easy to pick up, if repetitive. Still, after a hard day at work, it’s nice to come home, wade into a crowd of foot soldiers, and send 100s of them flying into the air with a single blow from my spear!

Beyond Good & Evil – (adventure/platformer) You are Jade, an investigative reporter on an alien world. People are disappearing, and the so-called police seem to be at the center of the conspiracy!

Psychonauts (adventure/platformer) – you play a kid at summer camp…but this isn’t your typical summer camp. This is a camp for psychics. As you develop your powers, you’ll have to “dive” into different peoples’ heads in order to solve puzzles and rescue your kidnapped campers. Very original and amusing.

Grand Theft Auto (3 & Vice City) – You’re a criminal punk out for revenge. Run around the city picking up different missions at will. Some require you to transport something, others may ask you to whack someone. Steal a car and get going! Yes, this is the game that got all the publicity a while back. Still a good game though.

Inside My World

$9.95

“Inside My World” takes the reader inside the world of a blind child, teenager and young adult growing up in Chicago some 70 years ago. It is an account of the physical and psychological challenges experienced by a blind child and adolescent trying to “fit in” to the sighted world and of his amazing mother’s determination to help him do so. It is also a nostalgic look back to an era when: • You could buy candy for a penny… • Kids played war games using sticks for guns… • And a foot of snow was a dream come true. My mother used to tell people: “He’s in his own little world.” Indeed, seeing the world without sight is seeing it in a very different way. The world of a blind person is smaller, closer, and more personal. And yet, each of us, in fact, is “in our own little world,” our own personal reality – A reality shaped not just by our senses, but by our upbringing, our education, our culture, our geography, our exposure to the environment, our interaction with people, our whole range of personal experience and learning. And so, each of us has shaped, and continues to shape, a very unique personal reality, which is “Our World.” IT IS OUR UNIQUENESS AS INDIVIDUALS THAT MAKES OUR EXISTENCE SO PRECIOUS.

Wappy Dog

$49.99

Wappy Dog is a virtual pet adventure game that also serves as a control interface for a real-world robot puppy. The plastic robot toy can move about and perform a number of tricks, many of which are unlocked through virtual pet-keeping play. Through the game’s “Home” mode, players can engage directly with their robot pup. In “Travel” mode, they can play DS mini-games to develop new pet skills and abilities, which will transfer back to the toy the next time it connects. Players can customize both their in-game and real-world pet. Wappy’s personality and voice change as he matures, from puppy to adult, as new quests and learning opportunities become available. The pet is easiest to train when he is happy, and the color of his cheeks gives players a hint of his current mood. Making sure he clean, well-fed, and feels loved is the best way to make sure he’s always happy, and ready to play and learn. Wappy joins players in both cooperative and competitive DS mini-games, cheering gleefully when he wins and sometimes sulking when he does not. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
