I recommend SOCOM 1 if you can find it.
I just ran down in the basement to ask my son.....without hesitation he said "NCAA06"...whatever that is.. but he's a cool kid so I'll take his word for it.
Is that Xbox or PS2?
Thanks so much for your advice. I've cut the dreck from the list thanks to you.
:-)
And added Multi-Taps to the list of things to get.
What new game is out for PS2 that you think they would flip over?
NCAA06.
Check!
Thanks!
Is that PS2 or Xbox?
What's the action about?
I put the Falcon game on a list for Tal Afar as they have airmen there. Thanks!
PS 2 only.
NAVY SEALS Blow up and Shoot up the bad guys.
He also plays the Madden 2006 all the time.
I have it on PS2.
There's a version of Soul Calibur 2 for all 3 consoles. Pretty good choice I'd say...for some reason it has a lot more replayability than any other fighting game I've ever played.
PS2
Do note the "memory cards" as well, some places like Sam's Club have multi-packs on discount...it will be HIGHLY appreciated by the troops!
OK...new PS2 games that kick a$$...
World Poker Tour, and World Series of Poker (2 different games) are BOTH great for the Poker enthusiasts (none there in uniform...NAH!)
Burnout 3 Takedown is out at $19.99...and"older game", but AWESOME.
Burnout 4 Revenge is the next game in the racing series...if they play 3 first, they get bonuses and advances when they save Burnout 4 on the same memory card that has a Burnout 3 file on it....a nice bonus!
Midnight Club 3 DUB edition (racing).
Need For Speed Underground (Older).
Need For Speed Most Wanted (new and pricey!)
MX vs ATV Unleashed.
Gran Turismo 4 is the new one, and is fantastic (Gran Turismo 3 is great and cheap too!)
Someone mentioned Falcon 4...it's great, check out Heroes of the Pacific as well (WWII fighters)
Nascar 06 is real good.
The Midway Arcade Treasures (especially 3 and 4) are all the old arcade games on the PS2...some old games are still a blast!
I do recommend (if you can afford/find it) the Grand Theft Auto Pack that has GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas in it...watch the price, you may do better getting the individual games...but if you must get one, I REALLY recommend San Andreas!
Any of the Clancy games (except Ghost Recon II...wasn't that good) are great...SOCOM and SOCOM II are also a blast for the guys and ladies in uniform!
Again, pricey....but...Star Wars Battlefront II!!!!! The ability to play as Vader vs Yoda for the Star Wars geek is waaaay too appealing, and the game play is a BLAST!
Best I can come up with right now...
Thanks so much!!
I ordered about 8 games with the donated money I have (had)at paypal.
Two of the games were cheap because they are missing instructions.
ATV: Quad Power Racing 2
Lord of the Rings-Fellowship of the Ring
Could you get a xerox copy of the instructions or fax a copy to me so I could include them? Don't know how hard that would be for you.
FReepmail me a response.
I've got to go off line now. I'll check back in a few hours.
You've been super!
Its been a year or so since I have been over there and they had literrally hundreds of xbox's and gamecubes for sale and not one ps2.
Yeah, but the Xbox version is the best one, not counting Link's availability on the Gamecube version. Might as well get it on the Xbox, given the choice of the PS2 or Xbox version. True, SC3 is a PS2 exclusive game, but new games aren't quite budget-priced. (With the exception of some like Katamari Damacy and NG Black.)
I don't think SC2 is the best fighting game ever, but it's very nice.
