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?
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...
