In no particular order:

- ICO
- Contra: Shattered Soldier
- Road Trip
- Twisted Metal: Black
- Rygar
- Gadget Racers
- Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth (until the new one comes out)
- Def Jam Vendetta
- GTA3 and GTA: Vice City

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, but that's 10 like you asked for.

Still haven't opened Kingdom Hearts, Hitman 2, or Ace Combat 04 though.

None.

Everybody's tastes are different. There isn't even ONE game that everybody likes.

Agreed. If you tell us what you like, we can recommend good games in that genre. Because I would hate to have sarareku's must own list. joshd's list is the most similar to my tastes, but it's still not 100%.

It's called a game that's free <3 Because I know Static Cling would not throw away my 10 games if he found them all at Best Buy for a cent each

So what exactly do you DO in ICO? Don't you just watch fish go across an aquarium?

My list:
1. Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
2. Gran Turismo 3


I'm still thinking, that's it for now

Its an action/puzzle game. You play as a boy and you are trying to get out of the castle and save a girl at the same time. You have to solve puzzles to get out of the castle and at the same time protect the evil spirits from taking the girl to the dark side. I really don't want to say too much in way of story, because it is so good you'll hate me for telling you if I did. This is one of the best games on the PS2 and unfortunately didn't sell so well.

You beat it in 5 hours and let it collect dust for the next 10 years.

Ico
Silent Hill 2
GTA 3
GT3
Frequency
Amplitude
Fatal Frame
NFS - HP2

I dunno - exclusively speaking, that's about it - and some of those games are on other systems (looking and sounding better - except for NFS). I guess Final Fantasy X if you like that... Also - that game that has a weird name where it's kinda anime and you're in a mech and you fly around - had a sequel that was better (IMO)... can't think of the title.

Even if I bought them for 10 cents plus tax, I still wouldn't play any of them except for maybe Kingdom Hearts. I'm not ripping on your list; I'm just saying that our tastes differ wildly. I'm not going to like a game just because it's cheap... I might like the price, but I still might think that the game wasn't for me.
