God Of War, Sly Cooper, Killzone, Ratchet and Clank. That's my childhood right their. Man those games are absolutely amazing

[@brokenbond2012]

Ikr i started with jak n daxtar then found RnC later on and was never the same, i was so in love with the combat and characters and the world's all had great design

[@zakirstocks9514]

Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter. Those are my Childhood PS2 Games right here. Those definitely take me back. 😄😁

Jak and daxter was my is my favorite of all these games. I wish jack got more recognition and another game

[@Alex-ng6hc]

I remember Ratchet and Clank 2, Jak and Daxter 2 and Sly 2 being my childhood. I'm in my 30's now, and I still play them often, albeit the remastered games for the PS3

They need to bring timesplitters 2 and 3 to ps4 and ps5

[@boredstudent]

I actually didn't play ICO and Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2. I played the remastered versions on the PS3. I feel bad that I never played the Sly Cooper games except for the first one. I did play the early Gran Turismo games but 3 was the game that got me into the series and racing sims in general. God of War II was another good one.

[@jcj268]

We so need a Sly 5 game

[@danieloloughlin8768]

That would be great. I wonder if we will get a remake like the N Sane Trilogy.

[@jcj268]

I swear all i need it one more sly game to finished of the series an i can die happy 😭

[@Mrjacharles]

Ahhh Ico ... now that's a game that I have sweet memories for. Well, except for those unreadable subs ... I forgot they were a thing. xD

[@Historicutuber]

God of war was amazing and the second one too. I liked killzone 1 too

[@F34rANDl4ught3r]

one per series yet ico and shadow of the colossus are both on here xD

[@Leo-pd4fc]

Sly Cooper 2 Band of Thieves and Sly Cooper 3 Honor amoung Thieves, these first party games are my childhood and that's why Sly is always near of my heart. It's so nice this video starts about Sly 2 band of thieves a mission where Sly danced with Carmelita, it's greatest mission on Sly games history in my opinion. 🦝🦊🦛🐢

Im replaying these as a 40 yr old because childhood sucked.

im guessing this is also a list of games ppl wish for a remaster while some would like to play it on pc despite being ps2 exclusive?
