Hey guys fantastic idea for an episode I completely forgot about how great time splitters was. I played that game so much in college and it never got the credit it deserved!!
Thanks a ton! We are riding the PS2 hype train big time right now! And yes, TimeSplitters is epic. Too bad more GoldenEye fans weren't in the know back in the day as it's a great ode to that game play style. Hope all is well man. Cheers!
I began my Time Trisis binge thanks to your recommendations, holy crap have I been missing out. All aboard the PS2 hype train, Choo Choo!
Hell ya dude! Those games rock! All those Namco light gun games are worth a play or many plays. Glad you are enjoying the games. Cheers to the beloved PS2!
Just subscribed to this channel a little over a month ago and have been watching a video a day since. I love the intro and my favorite thing so far is the Beer introduction, Cause they are always so complex too explain and its hilarious I look forward to it everytime. Love catch phase at the end too. Great Channel guys.
Thanks a ton man! We really appreciate your support and feedback. The intro has gotten more and more refined over the years as we've shot nearly 300 videos together :). Cheers!
Many ps2 games come to mind: Ape Escape series started on PS1 but PS2 got some titles too. Horror survival such Haunting Ground, Echo night, Kuon. Onimusha series (the resident evil on the samurai era) sadly did not survive the change of generation, there is a remaster of the first on the ps4 but that’s it.
Dark Cloud and Chronicle. Arcade Flying simulators such as Dropship: UPF, Sky Odyssey or Skygunner ( you really should check this out).
King of Monsters, a 3D re imagine of the arcade game. Mister Mosquito, a mosquito simulator, yes there is that game.
If you like ancient era you have Shadows of Rome, Spartan total war, colosseum: road to freedom ( a gladiator simulator). This list could go even longer...
For sure man. There a f'n tons. There are just the ones we own in our collection. Looking to acquire more as we go. Thanks for watching and cheers to the PS2!
You are guys are one of my favorite new channels I watch. Coincidentally I was literally looking at PS2 exclusive lists the last few days as I am only collecting exclusives on the PS2 and all the multi plats on the OG Xbox. Would love to see more OG Xbox videos or that generation of gaming in general.
Oh we will. We will try lining those generations up with the console's 20th b-day as well :). Glad you are enjoying the content. Always good to hear. We really appreciate the feedback and support. Cheers!
One for any rugby fans.
EA rugby 08 , EAs last rugby game, widely regarded as the best rugby game to this day along with jonah lomu rugby on ps1 .
Dude, we will have to check that out. Don't know much about Rugby but love that era of EA Sports. Would be a great way to learn. That is how I learned hockey. NHL '94 baby! Cheers!
HEEEEEEY MY BOYS HERE!!!!! Been an F long time I havent see you guys. Nice content keep it coming!!!!
No plans on slowing down my friend :). Having to much fun. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Great episode..
Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed!
thanks for video...few i didn't have in my collection, downloading now...
What a reaaaaaaaallllly cooool Foo fighters shirt my dude
Thanks! We love the Foo Fighters! 🍻
@@GamingOffTheGrid same here !
Keep up the great content y’all
Dudes, check out Urban Reign. It's a old school beat em up style game by the Tekken team at Namco. Very cool, great fighting controls and lots of fun. Also a PS2 exclusive. 👍🏻
Just ordered a copy :). Thanks a ton for the recommendation and thanks for spending our damn money LOL! Cheers!
There is a shit ton of exclusive ps2 games that some people maybe forgot (i was wondering if gh was exclusive for the ps2)
Oh yes! There are plenty more as well. This was just from our collection alone. Such an awesome library for that console.
Hot shots golf is fun but I will always be a tiger woods guy
Ya, Tiger is hard to beat. Love the PS2 versions still to this very day :)
@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah 2001-2008 are the best tiger games
Where can I download ps2 games to play on ps2 ....o tried lot of websites but none of them are working...help
Wish we had a good answer. All the PS2 we play is on original hardware. The PS3 and PS4 have some good digital download options as well. As far as roms go though, we don't know. Cheers!
Socom online waz dope how your gun would get hott when enemies were around 🔥😤🔥
Yes it was. Played SO much Socom 2. Loved that game. Cheers to the PS2!
It's pretty hard to argue against the ps2 having the best library of any system. I've been trying to pick up gradius 5 at a decent price for ages now. However I'm a PAL region hobo, so it's probably cheaper to mod a ps2 and buy the US version. Now I just have to go and find a breakfast beer.......
:)! A great one you may be able to get in your area is Founder's Breakfast Stout. It is the blue print for breakfast stouts.....but you better like stouts and oatmeal. And couldn't agree more. When we started the channel I would have never said this......but it's becoming the best console of all time. And it's hard to argue. Best of luck on getting Gradius V. You can get it online on the PS3 store btw. Cheers!
Cheers guys, I will have to search that one out. Thanks for the suggestion
I was thinking about getting a PS2 Slim after I beat all my PS4 and PS3 games in my backlog. I’m more tempted to want to buy a PS2 Slim over a PS5
We think you will definitely enjoy it more! 🍻
well looks like i got some games to get 😂😂😂
Dude Red Star has Mega Dan 29, Mr. NDR's name written all over it :)!
You mean 'English Exclusive Titles', right?
Correct. We don't have a way to play imports at this time. Maybe some day we will explore imports further. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Awesome video guys! Glad to see I have some of these games in my collection! I really need to dig into the PS2 library deeper at some point. Right now I am just so invested in the GameCube but definitely one day I will dig in! Cheers!
It's a fun one to dig in to. Such a vast library that covers nearly all genres very well. And, for the most part, it's still relatively affordable to collect for which is part of the reason we love it so much. Cheers!
Dude I love me some armored core!
Yesir!!! Mech games from that era were awesome. I think it's the Power Ranger fan in me that made me love them so much, idk. Thanks for watching man. Cheers!
PS2 is one of my favorite consoles for sure. Great titles in this list for sure.
We agree man! It has so many amazing games. Hell, 20 years into it and we find games we never heard of all the damn time. That's craziness. Cheers!
Some amazing games in this video bit of hidden gem for PS2 is castleween a great game and McFarlane evil proficy think it was a PS2 only
Nice we will have to check both of those out! Cheers!
Great video, seeing a lot of ps2 videos pop up lately.
It turns 20 this year. PS2 nostalgia is runnin wild brother! Cheers!
11:42: "I love how they spelled "fore."
You mean the way it is actually spelled? Yeah, that was really clever of them.
It's the fourth game in the series, so they used 'fore' instead of 'four', so that's not how 4 is usually spelt
Blood will tell is selling for over $100.00, but two underrated ps2 games are Klonoa 2 and Grooverider.
We will give them a look. Love collecting for the PS2. One of our all-time favorite consoles. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I need a gaming channel I'm a real wwf, gamer, 80s and manga fanatic. Haha 😂 Japanese call us Otaku
KUON! its like 500 dollars.
I've been thinking about trying Time Splitters lately, I think it's time to bust it out. Oh man, Guitar Hero Rock the 80s was my jam! So many good songs! To this day I stile can't beat "Play With Me" by Extreme, but I'll get it eventually! The Maximo series is fantastic! Ghosts to Glory is much harder than Army of Zin, but nowhere near as difficult as GnG.
So glad to hear you liked that beer, it was one of my favorites from this year. Such a unique taste. I really hope I still have one in the good ol beer cellar.
Time Splitters is awesome man. The controls take a minute to get the hang of again, just like when you toss in Golden Eye after a couple of years. But other than that it's great. Thanks again for the brew! It was a good one for sure. Cheers!
gaming off the grid one day on your youtube live stream can you play call of duty mw2 and hopefully i can get a sonytriniton on christmas and cheers to the ps2 and the youtube channel that got me in 2 vhs and that you gaming off the grid
We will play it one of these days. Got to finish up some of these other games we've been steaming first. Thanks for your support man.
Great list of games! Many are my favorites even to this day!
Hell ya! The PS2 is loaded. This merely scratches the surface. We have been loving Red Star lately. You played that one? So damn cool. Cheers to the PS2!
Ps2 best console ever
We can't argue with that statement one bit. It might not be the sexy pick but it's an amazing console! Cheers to the PS2!
It has many exclusives, many retro games , all franchises are there , 1 billion games, focus on single player (instead of Online experience from the ps3 and 4), etc. A very unique development scenario
If you are gonna count games that were available for arcade, or now has a downloadable format, but at their time they only had a ps2 edition for home console..then you need to get TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT, TEKKEN 4 and TEKKEN 5 ! Same with SOULCALIBUR III, is a ps2 exclusive. Shut your mouth is amazing, and the original WWE Smackdown Vs Raw is only exclusive still to the PS2. It has that John Cena entrance only available on the ps2.
Great info. Forgot that the first Smackdown vs Raw was exclusive. Love the Smackdown series. Cheers to the PS2!
Do original xbox exclusives and gamecube and xbox 360 games
:) Oh we will. In due time my friend. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Thank you :) and cheers keep up the great work guys
What games pissed you off to the point you have to use them as costars?
LMFAO! Those are actually costars man. Pretty damn cool. They are about half the size of an actual game but feel and look legit. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Oh really? Where did you get them at?
@@JChipShow they were on clearance on game stops web site a while back. Do you nerd told us about them
Will a PS3 Slim 160GB model be able to play PS2 discs if I download the PS2 system data from the PSN store? I see now I can create a PS2 memory card but I don't have a PS2 game to confirm if it will work or not.
That is a good question. I don't think it can play discs, only digital downloads rather. We don't have that model unfortunately so no way to test. We're still rocking the FAT :). Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Great video, I love the PS2
Would be better if the video had subtitles, even auto-generated one is OK
We are actually unsure how to do subtitles! Might be something we look into! Cheers!
Good boys getting Maximo in there. Good boys. :-)
The flavors of this beer sounds interesting--I like that toffee and vanilla note combo and the idea that it's more of a dessert stout--which are always fun to try--but that it's thinner which feels like I may be able to enjoy this more year round in that I generally enjoy heavier/darker beers in colder weather.
Oh yes! Epic games for sure. The PS2 is full of them. Definitely check our Red Star (We call it Brown Star). It's a badass game. And the beer was very enjoyable for sure. Hope you guys are having a great week. Cheers!
The PS2 might have the greatest library in gaming history. The SNES has a solid lineup as well, but the PS2 had revolutionary games. Definitely a fun episode
For sure! It is definitely high up on the list of greatest consoles of all-time for sure. It's epic. And fun as hell to collect for. We are still finding out about games we have never heard of 20 years later.
@@GamingOffTheGrid I love collectign for it for that same reason. So many games that fell between the cracks. You should do a hidden gems video.....
@@TelesplashGaming that generation in general as well. 3 gta games! We didn't know how lucky we were. Ps2 was vast though, something for everyone for sure :)
@@maxpower7002 it's true. There are more hidden gems in the PS2 library than N64 games total lol.
ps2 is the definitive console. its the perfect balance in terms of graphics .. not too realistic.. not too cartoony.. whereas SNES still in the primitive stages of gaming. add the vast library of games.. its the console ill chose if i can only hav one.
Ace Combat 4 Ace Combat 5 Ace Combat Zero i Have. Holy Trinity Tier Nice Two Games
All those would be welcomed additions for sure :). Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Agh Socom 3, the best and worst year I ever had, I was very addicted
Ahhhh the late night of Socom and having to go to school the next morning! Good times. Cheers!
I never knew Red Star didn't come out for Xbox, I remember playing the demo from the official xbox magazine.
Ya it's crazy. I'm pretty sure it was even reviewed in a magazine comparing it on the 2 consoles then got the ax. Cheers to the good ol' PS2!
For smackdown here comes the pain wouldnt be awesome in the story If it gave you the option to do a 2nd player on tag matches
Ya that would be badass! A couple of the later Smackdown games have a tag career but only one player I think which is really dumb lol.
@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah because we two people in a tag match the guy not in can go beat the crap out of the other guy and they dont really fight back lol
Loved Vampire Night. Still have my og copy. Need to find my GunCon2s in storage...
As light gun game fans, if you've never heard of Resident Evil: Dead Aim, then you should absolutely get your hands on it.
Lmao @ "boner rock" during the Guitar Hero portion
😂!
Maybe you still have a Playstation 2 that is no longer in use, I can just miss the games because they also became part of my childhood, one of the best games ssx tricky
Plss.. give me 🙏 ps 2
We don't have a PS2 to spare. But you should be able to track one down on the cheap. Cheers!
Thanks
guitar hero 1 was available on xbox. i know it was bc, Rocks the 80s was a compilation of all the digital only downloads available only on the xbox version. thats right rocks the 80s is just the downloadable content from the xbox version.
You forgot Twisted Metal Black...
We did. We have it too. We noticed after we edited this thing. We play that game quite a bit too so not sure how the hell we forgot it lol. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid yea and good to know that you also played it. :)
Ok, have you guys ever knocked over your background drinks on the rear coasters while putting you games back? Have to ask, hahaha.
Killer video guys
LOL! We have been very fortunate. Very few spills here believe it or now :). Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Oh I believe it or *not* hahaha, good deal bud.
I'd still say that the full controls for the SSX series is exclusive to Ps2. also don't forget Suikoden 5.
You guys need to play God Hand
I played it a couple times back in the day. My friend had it. We really want to get a copy but not at the price it's commanding these days :). Hopefully find one in the wild some day. Thanks for watching and cheers to the PS2!
The light gun games absolutely rule 👍
Have you tried Gunfighter II: Revenge of Jesse James? It's another light gun game which I'm pretty sure is a PS2 exclusive.
Never heard of it. Looks like another one we need to check out :). Cheers!
Never tried an IPA before watching gaming off the grid...now I am hooked 😂 currently my favourite TH-cam channel. Keep it up guys
They are an acquired taste for sure. I didn't care for them when we started but Robert kept workin on me and now I find myself buying IPA's more and more. Especially in the summer months. Awesome to hear you are enjoying the content man. We are glad to hear it and appreciate the feedback. Are possibly the Craig I mailed a game out to recently? England area? Thanks for watching man. Cheers!
Gaming Off The Grid - honestly it’s all I drink now 😂 always looking out to try different flavours. Yeah that’s me 🙌🏽 I look forward to receiving the game and adding it to my collection! Great video today. Look forward to the next one!
Shaman King: Power of Spirit a cell shaded fighting, Duel Masters which plays like the Magic card game and here's the thing it was on the GameCube but only in Japan so it's exclusive on PlayStation 2 for the North America and PAL. And before the village start getting after Frankenstein, Persona 3 can be played on the PlayStation 3 digital only and I found it in a retro game shop for the PlayStation 2 so if you don't have a PlayStation 3 or Vita to play Persona 3 the PlayStation 2 disc is your best bet to play it. Hot Shots is still going as Everybody's Golf and you can pick up the PlayStation 4 game under 20 bucks and to sweeten the pot a little bit you can get to play as Kratos in Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds on the PlayStation 3
Awesome info man! And playing gold as Kratos sounds badass!
Red star is awesome
Hell yes it is! Literally checks all of our boxes :)
Call of duty ghost has a mode with bots. I use to play that alot. It's fun solo. I bet it's even better co op
I think we have that on the PS3 if I remember correctly. Gonna have to check on that :)
@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah its basically the online feature but thru the system link menu so you can do team deathmatch search and destroy etc. You can pick the difficulty of all the cpus. Its alot of fun
The red star is like a 10 dollar game in europe :O
You guys got it good over there damn it. Seems like your market stays more reasonable than ours does. Thanks for watching and cheers to the PS2!
Nice list! But I feel like there's a few games you guys missed that are still exclusive to the playstation 2.
Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arm never ported to any other system. They still play great and both have the ability to use the multitap for up to 4 player couch co-op. The first game goes for about $30 and the second is a bit harder to find it goes for about $60.
Castlevania Lament of Innocence was Castlevania's first successful foray into the third dimension. It had a digital version on ps3, but the only place to get a physical copy is on the PS2. It still plays and looks great today. It wears its Devil May Cry influences on its sleeve, but also plays similar to God of War (though its pre - God of War) while still maintaining the feel and aesthetic of the original Castlevania series. You can find it for about $15.
Then there are a couple games that had PC versions, but console wise were exclusive to the PS2. I'm thinking of No One Lives Forever and The Legacy of Kain : Soul Reaver 2. Both very different single player games. Soul Reaver 2 still stands out as one of the best written games of all time. No One Lives Forever like timesplitters had some of the people from goldeneye behind it, but has more modern controls and still plays great. You can pick up No One Lives Forever for $13 and Soul Reaver 2 for $25.
Therea probably tons we have forgot! There still so many games we yet to play! PS2 has a huge library! We Will check out your recommendations! Cheers!
That Lloyd bobble head is amazing!
:) We sneak a lot of fun things into our b-roll. So happy when someone notices. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid keep during so! I love to the see the other oddities people keep in their game rooms that way I know I'm not the only one woth a random assortment of nonsense 😂
Solid choices fellas. I do love the Maximo series and the Timesplitters series. The two Contra games are very good as well. Great selection of exclusives! Cheers!
Thanks man! Crazy how deep the PS2 library is. Cheers to the good ol' PS2!
@@GamingOffTheGrid probably the greatest library ever conceived in gaming history. Although I'd say the Snes and Genesis are a close 2nd.
For sure! Huge fans of the 16 bit era as well. Forever I would have said the SNES is my favorite console of all-time but all the time we have been spending with the PS2 has made me question that
@@GamingOffTheGrid well they are both fantastic consoles. No doubt.
8:00 and smack down vs raw 2005 and 2006 same ps2 was a powerhouse for wwe games same with anime games like naruto ultimate ninja all those games were on ps2 only and the 3 naruto ultimate ninja has a open world leaf village and there were a ton of armored core games only on ps2 and not to mention the amount of hack and slash exclusives like bujingai, shadow of Rome, chaos legion, shinobi, genji dawn of the samurai, samurai western, onimusha 2, 3 and 4, way of the samurai and more also dragon ball z budukai 3 and dragon ball z tenkaichi are exclusives budukai 1 2 are also on gamecube and tenkaichi 2 and 3 are on wii but dbz budukai 3 and dbz tenkaichi 1 were just on ps2
Oh yes! The PS2 era Smackdown games are bad ass! We have been streaming Here Comes the Pain a lot and people seem to love it. The PS2's library is insane! We both had the console growing up and have played tons of games yet in 2020 we still come across games we've never played or even heard of for that matter. Such a badass console! Thanks for watching and cheers to the PS2!
Gaming Off The Grid amazing console for sure it’s always gonna be my favorite
Love this video!!!!
Thanks man! Hard to believe we've been in love with this console for 20 years. We're getting old dude!
Timesplitters is on the original xbox
Another excellent video GOTG🔥
Thanks man! Much appreciated. We love us some PS2 :). Cheers!
Hot shots golf Fore! is the best of the series. The secret characters and the music are solid!
There are some of the ones that came out after that we haven't played but from what we know Fore is our fav as well
I love y’all’s gaming den . Pretty sweet.
Awesome list guys! So many exclusives for the ps2
There are for sure. Such a badass console and amazing library of games. Cheers to the good ol' PS2!
Do yall have any extra ps2 games ?
I've actually been playing Project Snowblind for PS2 lately (not an exclusive title). But component/composite on my HDTV is a bit soft and fuzzy.
Ya you'll get that on an HDTV for sure. We'd recommend finding a small CRT if you can make room for it. Even a 13-20 inch will do the trick and will look way better.
@@GamingOffTheGrid i had a big CRT for that reason. The wife made me get rid of it. Haha
Great episode! I'm on board the PS2 Hype train! My favorite exclusives on PS2 are Dark Cloud 2 (gorgeous, looks like an early PS3 game), Soul Calibur 3, and Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution.
Been on the hype train since buying one back in October love all of these!!!
Happiness!!!
Boom! Hope all is well man! The PS2 makes us very very happy :). Cheers!
What HDMI solution for the PS2 do you recommend?
Can't help you there man, sorry. We play ours on a Sony Trinitron CRT w/ Component cables and it looks great. Possibly check our Metal Jesus Rocks channel. I'm pretty sure he has some vids that may help you out. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I second this. Component or S-video is superior to HDMI IMO. CRT is important too. That's where it was intended to be played. PS2 is too dark on newer tvs.
armored core 2s controls absolutely suck.
They aren't great but once you get them down the game is fun. Always been into mech games for some reason. Any from this gen, the controls in most of those games were rough. Cheers!
I feel like Robert would dominate at guitar hero just a feeling ;)
You are correct! He's a freak at that game. Rockband too. He can kill it on all instruments. It's pretty damn impressive.
