So it's pretty much confirmed that FF10 and Kingdom Hearts are soon to be GH titles. For some odd reason though, SlyCooper and Ratchet and Clank aren't on that list. Frankly, I was surprised to see SOCOM there as no one mentioned it.

Kingdom Hearts, SOCOM, VF4...these really are great hits! If they fall to within the $15-20 price range, that'll be a steal.
<small>Plus, it'll make great stocking stuffers come stocking stuffing time!</small>

Can you only play SOCOM with the network adapter? Or is that a really bad rookie question?

One that's not officially a "greatest hits" title but it's been heavily discounted is Robotech Battlecry. I've seen it at Circuit City for $19.99 but still in the original packaging. Also I think they have Shinobi for that same price.

Hmmmmn, SOCOM for $19.99?? Might be time to pick up a copy. I wonder if that price would include the headset of if that the game only version?

To answer Toad's question, they have about 12 or 13 "offline" missions which are pretty extensive. It's a really good offline game. I don't know about the online part seeing as that I have yet to purchase a Network Adapter.

About time FFX makes it to the list. I've been holding off on that since I bought my PS2 last November.

Bad rookie question. You can play single player which is what I will be doing.

Dang, now all they need is one of those amazon deals for buy 2 get 1 free. I think I'll be getting SOCOM, Ratchet and Clank (whenever it becomes GH), and split the third game with someone else.

Anyone know how much fun the 1 player game of SOCOM is? I heard online sort of sucks now because of the cheating, but is the offline game cool?

I rented SOCOM last year when it was first released. It's an excellent game offline. If I had to make a comparison it's alot more streamlined and alot more "playable" than the Clancy squad based games ( just my opinion mind you). Sometimes it's a little frustrating, but if you take your time and be patient you'll enjoy it.

socom is a great game offline, many missions in different areas of the world, and you don't need the mic to play offline, it helps, but it's not necessary..

Actually, the AI in the single person game is HORRIBLE. It makes the game almost unplayable, in my opinion. It's sort of like playing paintball against retarded 5 year olds with bad vision : you'll probably win, but how much pride will you feel in your victory? Still for $20 it might be worth a shot. It's a great online game, so if you ever do get online, you'll have something to play.

with my slowing 41 year old reflexes I need all the help i can get. playing some retarded 5 year olds might make me even up against the AI

FFX will be mine

i picked up Virtua Figher Evolution... the odd thing was, the first couple of times i loaded it, it went to the browser window (as if no disc was inside). now it seems to work fine.

I may pick up SOCOM again at that price. I've been jonesing for some SOCOM action ever since I heard about SOCOM 2 in beta testing.

Anyone have any idea when Medal Of Honor for the PS2 will make it to the GH list?

You might be getting a disc read error. That what kept happening with me when I tried to use any blue disc. If you can easily clean your PS2, I'd try that.
