The beach head scenario is my 5th favorite behind the oil rig stage, the city stage (the one with the carrier battle group), Stage 2, and of course–»Shattered Skies» (which is my all-time favorite kill joy!)

Stage 17 isn’t so bad. Plenty of jets to shoot down, plus Yellow 4 in the end.
(I really HATE those guys!)

The mountain range stage is by far one of the coolest. It’s almost like you are *there*. The panoramic view is just mind-boggling.

I use my Game Shark for the game, but I can’t use invincibility mode. It screws up the whole thing. But I don’t really need it. I like the idea of «dying» with unlimited missile ammo for the X-02.

Put the setting at maximum? And oooh…boy! Charlie-central! lol

Eye Toy Play and Play 2 are both great games. We also picked up Sega Superstars and NickToons Movin’ which have a variety of games. There are a few Eye Toy «enhanced» games out there, like sports games that let you put your own face on your player and stuff. Unfortunately, EyeToy didn’t take off the way Sony hoped, and there just aren’t many games for it. If you go to playstation website then click on «Games» and then «Browse All Games» you can use the ystem filter and advanced filter to see what PS2 games there are with EyeToy support. Looking at that list, I’m reminded that Harry Potter 3 (Prisoner of Azkaban) has some good Eye Toy games on it. Gnome toss is especially fun and funny.
Here’s an edited list of what I got using the above method:

As you can see, most of them are singing and/or dancing games, and sports games where I’m pretty sure you just use the EyeToy to put your face on models. But, there are a few I didn’t know about.

According to GameFAQs, which usually gets the latest dates fairly quickly, says it’s due out on the 22nd of this month. Enjoy!

Me, I’m waiting for Midnight Club 3, which has also been postponed a few times, but at least it has on-line play. It’s also an arcade racer, which I prefer. I got GT3, and while it’s ok, it’s much too weighed down by the simulation aspect. Even after getting a game save with lots of cool cars, it could not hold my interest. I’m just not a sim freak. So, I won’t be getting GT4.
BTW: there’s a $20 rebate from Logitech if you buy the Driving Force Pro wheel and either GT4 or MC3. That tells me that MC3 is likely to support 900 degree steering, which makes me a happy boy. I can’t wait to hop in my VRC and play some Midnight Club 3 with realistic steering.

- You can buy cheap ones at ebay. I have about a 100 games if you want $3.00 each.

- There are also several Tomb Raider games for the PS1 system. The original Wipeout is a great futuristic racing game for PS1, and the Crash Bandicoot games are always a hoot. You should be able to find bunches of cheap PS1 games pretty much anywhere that sells games.

- Do you have a Hollywood Video/Game Craze by your house? If so, they’ve got a ‘Classic Plastic’ bin where all kinds of games from the older systems (like the PS1) can be found. In my area they were selling the old Ps1 disks for around 2/$5.50. Also Amazon.com, Half.com and Ebay.com are great places to pick up Psone games and accessories on the cheap. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I will check it out. Do you have any Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot or Driver games? I would defineltely be interested in those. Are you selling yours for $3 ea. if so then sure, I’ll take some! Let me know what you have & we can go from there o.k?

- Ah, the dreaded DRE. For the PS2, it’s like the Xbox’s Red Ring of Death. Sometimes it starts with one kind of disc, and allows you to read others, like it stops reading PS1, but plays PS2 fine, or vice versa. Inevitably, it will end up not reading anything. It’s a matter of when, not if. This is a well known problem with them, however, and Sony has been really good about it, even out of warranty for a lot of people (including me). First, call them up and go through the troubleshooting steps the tech takes you through. It’s possible that you will be offered a free repair (not including shipping it to them). At the very least, they will quote you a repair cost. In some cases, though, it’s cheaper to buy a used replacement or a PS2 slim, which supposedly doesn’t suffer from that problem. In any case, don’t assume they won’t help you out. It’s definitely worth calling Sony support before dropping the cash on a new one.
