How can you not like PS2? Well, I can understand you not liking PS2, but the games on that system are to die for. Ever play Psychonauts? Guitar Hero? Any of the DDRs (on PS2, because the XBox and Gamecube versions suck balls)? There are SO MANY good games for PS2.
I also have Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey Of The Cursed King. It is a great game; still deep like an RPG should be, yet simple, lighthearted, and fun. I was the one who made the Drag Ink West 8 thread before .com reset to April.
