Star Wars Battlefront II
Star Wars Starfighter
Lord of the Rings Two Towers and Return of the King
Splinter Cell (never completed)
Spyro 1 to 4 (didn't complete the latter)
Getaway and Getaway Black Monday
GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas (only completed the latter)
Dragonball Z Budokai, Burst Limit, Raging Blast 2
Final Fantasy 7-9

I remember playing that a fair bit and enjoying it, but I can't remember any of the gameplay or story at all now. Quite strange.

Was Warriors any good?

 

[Twilight Hue]

Siphon Filter was great

It was. I still have the game too.

I wonder if there are any retro consoles that play old disc games for Playstation and Xbox?

I would love to play Operation Flashpoint Elite again from the orginal Xbox ported over from PC. It was the entire milsim with the complete editor.

It never made the backward compatibility list.

Probably due to the fact that Codemasters and Bohemia hate each other.

My intention is to buy a couple of each consoles off of eBay and some sort of adapter that converts AV/scart to HDMI.
Apparently wireless controllers for PS2 need batteries though

Not exactly what you asked, but are you aware of Playstation (retrogamingstores.com) ?

Yea. I go to oogie games that specializes in retro and tabletop games. I got a Genesis and Nintendo emulator console that takes cartridges but no retro consoles for ps1 and oxb that takes discs.

 

[Augustus]

Yes, good game, especially if you like the film.

No idea how well it has aged, but was definitely one of my favourites at the time. I'd probably put it in the category of very good rather than great games though.

Twisted Metal 2 for PS1
Twisted Metal Black for PS2

 

[ADigitalArtist]

I loved the Legacy of Kain series over ps1 and ps2. LoK: Soul Reaver 1 and 2 still has some of the best video game voice acting imo.

Blood Omen:LoK aka vampire Zelda. Loved that game as a kid. The cutscenes didn't age well, though. lol
