+1 for Ico and Vice City.

Never got on with San Andreas, took itself too seriously and sapped all the fun out of it.

I've got an ico mint with all the postcards, at one point they were £60 on eBay. Then it was re-released and the rarity dropped and took the value. Also it's sequel Shadow of the Collosus was outstanding but somewhat limited. Time hasn't been too kind to Rez which I used to like too.

Gun - I love Wild West shootemups, and this is the best I've played to date
GT4 - Obvious really
GTA Vice City - Again obvious really
Timesplitters 2 - Awesome gameplay when playing against your mates on multiplayer, or am I just looking back with rose tinted specs?

Might I suggest you look at Red Dead Redemption then? (aka Grand Theft Horsey)

Just bought it the other day for PS3, not had the chance to play it yet!

various incarnations of Tony Hawk pro skater for me.

Best PS1 game for me was Tony Hawk 2, I just used to hang about in the hangar, doing 2 minute run after 2 minute run, seeing how many points I could get. I think I maxed out at over 1.4million points in the end!

Also the first Red Dead and Dead Mans Hand are good cowboy games. Dead mans plays more like a pop up shooter, it sells for £2 on eBay so you can't go wrong.

I don't know if I want to sell it Raceface, sorry, to be honest, you can pick up a mint one on eBay for around £20 these days. For that kind of money I'd like to keep it for the happy memories.

Resident Evil 4. Outstanding game in every way!

Yeah resi 4!!! I always associate that with cube, I've got a boxed Limited edition resi4 gamecube too... Can you tell I worked in a games shop ha ha.

The first red dead was quality, capcom started it then binned the project, rockstar brought it and put thier spin on it. You get a good 3rd person shooter with a great theme, but rockstar twisted it up a bit adding a more depth to characters.

If your digging out ps2s buy blaze cables off eBay (the gold plated ones) they're cheap as now but were RRP £29.99 on launch. They really clean the picture up and you can connect direct to an amp via AUX, some of the later ones have a g-con socket too.

RDR is for current-gen consoles, should've said (and is tremendous).

Never played Red Dead Revolver (its sort-of-predecessor), but I might see if I can track that down.
