At some point several days ago I was in Fred Meyer looking through the PS2 games and happen to find another item to add to my pile of shame list. So, I walked out with a copy of Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection. I had planned on playing the first game in the series but, I forgot I would need a PS1 memory card. Oh well, I’ll have to run up to the used game store and see if they have any one of these days. So, instead it was on to Metal Gear Sold 2 – a game I clearly remember beating on the Xbox but, about which I remember almost nothing. Anyway, I’ve currently played up to the fight with Vamp, maybe sometime this week I’ll get to put in the time needed finish the game.

On Sunday, I was able to knock Persona 3: FES off the list as well. I’ve managed to make it up to level 12 in the tower after only five and a half hours of game play. In game, I’ve also joined the kendo club and student council, heh. I’m not sure if I’ll beat this one considering the main story and the add-on clock in at over 100 hours of game play. Heck I’m not sure if or when I’ll beat any of them once I get back to my regular work schedule.

• Shadow of the Colossus
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES
• Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection
  
• God of War
• Okami
• Devil May Cry
• Final Fantasy XII
• Ico
• Katamari Damacy

Again, if anyone has any suggestions on additions let me know.

It’s been around for quite a while now, Sony’s PlayStation 2. Yet for some reason I never made room on my shelf for one – until now. Target has decided to celebrate my birthday by lowering the already low price of the PS2 to $99. That’s just the thing I said it would take for me to dive in and finally get the dying system. Now, that I’ve got the PS2 it’s time to start working on a PS2 pile of shame. I found a copy of Shadow of the Colossus on a nearby shelf so, I’ve got a good start I think. Unfortunately, Target was out of memory cards so a quick trip to eBay was in order. Hopefully, the card will be here tomorrow. I did, however, start the game and defeat the first Colossus. It’s a good start of what looks to be a great game. As if I don’t already have enough games that I need to find the time to play here is the start of my pile of shame list:

• Shadow of the Colossus
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES
  
• God of War
• Okami
• Devil May Cry
• Final Fantasy XII
• Ico
• Katamari Damacy

Anyone out there have any other suggestions?

*edit* Added Katamari Damacy and updated Persona 3 to the recently announced Persona 3 FES.
