Oh and Max Payne is an awesome game, great story too. those slo-mo shooting mechanics were radical at the time. I have the PC version. I also have the sequel too but i never got round to playing that.

hi Glass, I dont really have a top ten as such. But I have enjoyed Pro Evo football more than anything else, Tekken Tag, superrealistic driving games like GT and I'd probably add Max Payne to that.

But the good news for you is that your PS3 is partially backwards compatible, so an old Tomb Raider Anniversary game should play on it too, or so I have heard.
Actually Raj, only the original PS3 60GB Fat model was PS2 compatable. Sony consequently released all furture models without the PS2 compatability mode much to the dissapointment of many customers. The reasoning for it was clearly profit making as this allows them to release PS3 compatable PS2 games on the PSN store for extra revenue. From a business perspective its a clever and profitable move and in all honesty, there is nothing wrong with doing that. Its just the fact that we know the original had the PS2 compatability gives the sour note that they giveth and taketh away. Not a nice image for Sony.

Ah I see you have a penchant for beat em up games, football and simulation racing...unfortunately I am so crap at those genres! With racing, I love the arcade type like NFS as opposed to the F1 or GT simulation type. I have every Tomb Raider game on the PC, I love them, even though some do not deserved to be loved due to sever flaws in gameplay no doubt caused by very rushed sequel deadlines.

Does anyone remember Kula World? We used to play this at uni but it's IMPOSSIBLE to find without p*ying a fortune. And the fact that we've moved on from a PS1 :( My husband (an avid gamer) has never heard of it and can't believe that his game hating (well, not hating...) wife would play any game willingly!

Does your husband have a PS3 or PSP? I just looked on my PS3 playstation store and its available for download for £3.99 :) This game seems to be fondly remembered by many PSOne owners. Saw some youtube clips and it looks very addictive!

Nice to see you back btw :)

We have a PS3 (amongst other things) and have already IM'd husband to ensure that he downloads it. AM V V EXCITED.

Given that I'm not a gamer and I love this, I'd say it's a winner! :D

aww, thats a shame, Glass. Backwards compatibility rocks!

On the other hand, you might have just converted me to Xboxing!

If you do intend to get a new console, dont forget PS3 is a superb Blu ray player (3D capable too). At least you have your PS2 still if you want to play those games. Backward compatability shouldnt be too much of a put off issue. Its those folks who have many PS2 games but their PS2 console died, then the backward compatibility issue would be a real bummer. But then again, a PS2 can be picked up for as little as £30-40 in CEX. I b*ght mine for £40 a couple of years ago.

In all honesty, I think I'll go Wii, it should get a decent price drop next year when the Wii U comes out.
