Was thinking about picking up Taito Legends for PS2 from GAME in town, but it's in their 2 for £25 offer.

Any good recommendations from the following games? I like a good 3rd person shooter / adventure mainly, but I'm not too fussed - if a game is good a game is good.

The devil's advocate in me wants to say America's Ten Most Wanted but you can't really go wrong with Full Spectrum Warrior, Call of Duty or Viewtiful Joe 2. Psi-Ops too.

Purely on the name, Big Mutha Truckers 2: Truck Me Harder! stands out.

Was wondering what Psi-Ops was like, saw Viewtiful Joe 2 in town and considered it. VJ on the Gamecube treats me like a bitch though, so I'm not sure how far I'd get into VJ2.

Cheers for the aff. link Dan, came into the thread to do it myself and it was done :D

Psi-Ops is pretty great and unfortunately ignored by a lot of people. I guarantee it's fun without getting too taxing. Setting an enemy on fire and then chucking him at some hi-ex barrels so that he blows up his mates never gets boring :) There're some cheap, cheap bosses near the end, mind.

The physics are spot on and you never feel cheated by them - better than Second Sight in that area. Plus it doesn't have a cruddy camera like that game.

Hmm, think Psi-Ops might be worth a punt alongside Taito Legends. Cheers.

Not sure what's up with my VJ skillz, I got through to after the shark boss last time I played it within the week - a year later I bought it for myself, had a go and it took me a bajillion goes to defeat the first helicopter :(

VJ2 is top notch (just like the first), but is unforgiving on non-Jedi skills (like the first)

I totally recommend it, but expect stress, cursing & hardships ahead.

Psi-Ops is great, I can't stress how awesome it is picking up someone with your MIND, shooting them in the FACE then throwing them their mates. Brilliant.

Psi Ops was great sadistic fun. Some of the bosses are tough though.

I have gone for Midway Arcade Treasures 3. I have a soft spot for Hydro Thunder And Off Road Thunder (sad I know)

Earlier Midway Arcade Treasures don't look bad, but I don't like the look of 3.

Its a matter of personal choice though innit? :)

Thanks for the heads up by the way....
