My dad camped out at Best Buy and got me a PS2 on release day. I didn't know he did it until a month later when I got it for my birthday, along with a newspaper article with him in the picture as the second person in line. He picked up SSX with it and I remember that game just blowing my mind! Gives me the feels to this day.

I'd say the fact that it was a cheap DVD player and backward compatible with PSOne games help sell a lot of PS2s at first. I know that's why I bought one. So many great games helped seal the deal.

My original PS2 launch system is still up and running. Impressed with the system from day 1.

Guys, I know it is hard but.. Thank You for keeping Game Sack Alive :) There is no old school show like this on the web!

How many people stored their weed in the Expansion bay? Parents would never find that shit.

This is easily my favorite console ever. So many great games for dirt cheap.

The PS2 is the very best PlayStation in my opinion. It just feels so fresh even to this day. I had PS4 but didn't like it so I am back to playing PS2.

MGS 3 is to me STILL the very best MGS game ever.But MGS 3 also made me HATE frogs!!

This has made me realise how much I was missing your show. Welcome back fellas!

The one thing I love about the ps2 is the sheer variety of its library. The original PlayStation and the PS2 also features some highly experimental games that we would likely never see today. Titles such as Parappa tha Rapper, Point Blank, Mr. Mosquito, Katamari Damacy and plenty, plenty more were unlike anything else seen before or since in gaming. Obviously big budget games

this console still has some of the best games of all time

Ive had my PS2 for 20 years and it's still going strong. It was the last console my parents bought for me so it holds some sentimental value. It's a great console and I think every gamer should own one. There's no better library than what you find here. 😊

So glad to see you guys back in action. My daughters love to watch with me, as well. I've heard "Daddy, put on Game Sack!" more than I care to admit.

The undisputed king of video game consoles.

MGS 2 is the game that introduced me to peeing in a bottle.

reviewing ps2 in 2016 which is something i really loved

Aliasing... So much endless, eye-straining, headache-inducing aliasing everywhere...

I beat Shadow of the Colossus within 24 hours after it was released on PS2. To this day, it remains the most emotionally gripping video game game experience of my entire life.

I remember it was my hub for RPGs, along with some fighting and action games. Shadow of Destiny, Xenosaga, Grandia, .hack, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Inuyasha, Lupin the 3rd, Monster Rancher, Monster Hunter, Suikoden, Klonoa 2, Wild Arms, Buldar's Gate, Dark Cloud, Marvel vs Capcom, Rule of Rose... I could go on and on and on. I still have all those games and more. PS2 is still my most valued console to date.

i like how you focus on games more then hardware overall the games are the most important part subscribed

Damn nice to see this show back!

Jak and Daxter, baby! Seeing that game makes me feel so nostalgic. I really miss those days of pure gaming bliss... good times.

The PS2 imo was the greatest proper "sequel" to any hardware release. They took the best system ever made and made a truly perfect successor!

Would love to see those Phantasy Star remakes end up getting compiled together on a compilation at some point

Yakuza graphics look pretty good on the PS2 man. Haven’t seen a game with that much detail.

Really glad to see you guys back!

The PS2 was so awesome that it made the Dreamcast fook right off after only its announcement.

Capcom made a terrible mistake by abandoning Onimusha

Here is "Blood Will Tell" by Stupid Sega. lol

I love rewatching all these old episodes.

Blood will tell by "Stupid Sega". Lol. As much as I like Sega that made me laugh

My favorites are the ace combat series. Way better than recent Installments

Thanks for coming back you've been missed.

Great to have you back, Joe and Dave. You were missed. You made my Sunday mornings.

So glad you guys talked about Odin Sphere, too bad you seem to not know anything about it outside of the first hour or two of play. You don't only play as Gwyndolyn, the story follows 5 protagonists. And as you progress you get more and bigger bags to hold more than enough items to assist you. As well as when this was published it had already been announced we were getting the remake here in the states.

"just like real life some of the fires have life bars" Lmao

WTF?! Why didnt you cover "insert 3955" titles here"?...... Glad to see you guys are back at it.

IM SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE BACK AND I HAVE TO WRITE THIS IN ALL CAPS TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW!!

SO glad you guys brought up Blood Will Tell, one of the true hidden gems of the PS2, and one of my favorite games on the console! Shadow Hearts too! I love that one as well, and the Judgement Ring battle system is probably my favorite in any JRPG. Some of my other favorite exclusives are Haunting Ground and Siren. Both horror games. Haunting Ground ran on the Clock Tower 3 engine and was just fantastic. Siren is hard as nails and can feel a little clunky, but was genuinely creepy and intense. As a horror fan, Silent Hill is one of my favorite series, so of course Silent Hill 2 and 3 are some of my favorites as well, but SH2 wasn't exclusive.

Holy fuck, you're back. I was shitting my pants in fear thinking that you left youtube

You guys should have mentioned that the PS2 is backwards compatible with the PS1 giving it access to that console's large library as well. Also, you have the Sega Collections disc and didn't show the Virtua Racing remake!

Good to see you guys back. And RIP the PS2, the best console ever, along with the SNES.

My original ps2 with ethernet adapter was stolen from storage years ago and I replaced it with the slim model but it’s just never felt the same. I loved the fat model and might pick one up again someday for nostalgia and the collection. So many memories from playing ps2 as an undergrad.

No DLC No Online No internet to play Good times for Gaming

I love the PS2, I grew up with it and am learning more and more that nothing's going to top it for me. I keep going back to the PS2 and buying more and more games for it. Overtime I went back and collected every PlayStation console to and still the PSone and PS2 have dominated my favorite games list. Recently I've been trying out the Genesis and Master System, which are really cool and had tuns of great ideas, but I still really enjoy 6th Generation gaming the most.

this has to followed by an orginal xbox episode

I remember spending nearly the whole summer of 2005 playing kingdom hearts 2 and aggressive inline. Good times.

Shadows over Rome is one of my favorite games all time. The Colliseum battles are amazing.

It's a crime that they never released the phantasy star remakes stateside.

Silent Hill 2 &3 need to be acknowledged.

What's great about the Hot Shots Golf games is that you can heckle your friends by pressing random buttons while they're lining up their shot lol. Had a lot of fun with that back in the day.

Man, Shadow Hearts needs more love. One of my favorite series right now. Even had a cool prequel called Koudelka on the PS1. Highly recommended games if you haven't played them.

Come on, you guys show Silpheed and not FREAKING GRADIUS V, R-TYPE FINAL AND THUNDER FORCE VI? PS: Welcome back!

When you boot up Sega Rally Championship, hold triangle and X and you will get the option for progressive scan. Unfortunately, Sega Rally 2006 doesn't support it.

His Okami shirt is one of the coolest things ever! I wish I had one.

I love ps2 I just got one again my other one broke a while ago

Throwing this out there, Odin Sphere is about FIVE different characters...Gwen is just the first section of the game.

Welcome back!

Thank you guys SO much for coming back, I am a huge fan of the show and was bummed out when I read an article stating the show was on temporary hiatus. I am a collector/gamer and would have never owned or known about some of my favorite games if it weren't for this show. Can we pleaaaaaaaase have a Sega Genesis episode and a SNES one too?

You guys did a great service here with talking about a lot of PS2 games that are cheap enough for anyone to get!

Bring back the fart noise. The hardcore fans demand it!!! Fart Loud, be Proud.

do ps2 game reviews!

Don't mind Dave, he gets motion sickness from everything. 😂

In my heart, the SNES is the greatest system ever. In my mind, however, I must concede that the PS2 is the most important.

Gamesack is back!? HELL YEAH!

No, no, no. Thank YOU for making Game Sack.

Glad to see you guys are back! I have an idea suggestion: you've done Sega after the Dreamcast, now you should do the Dreamcast after Sega!

Missed you boys. Welcome back :)

I prefer the old intro theme.. had a more 80s vibe with it's synth sounds in the background..

I have been one of the biggest fans from the beginning guys. I know what you mean by not feeling appreciated for the hard work though. It sucks that we live in the age of people who can't do, but who want to have an opinion about how you can. There's a lot of us however that love your show. And appreciate everything that you do for us. Not just the gaming aspect, but the entertainment aspect as well. Is a kid born in 77, every single thing that you guys talk about relates to me. I have a child myself I was born in 99 who relates to everything you guys still talk about. So I feel like your show transcends a bit more than what others do. You're right most people now just wants some yahoo that yelling, and who's barely audible while doing so, about how games suck. I call it AVGN syndrome. There is only one Gamesack like there's only one James Rolfe. You guys have not filled in it, or a boy, you made this your own thing. You guys have a genuine love for all things gaming. I was pissed there wasn't more of you two on " the videogame years " lol. If you decide to fade away, you have definitely made an impact on the Gaming Community, and on a lot of people's lives in a positive way. Hopefully you don't but I understand.

Thank you for mentioning Shadow Hearts! It's sequel, Covenant, is one of my favorite JRPGs ever! Because of it's vast library and backwards compatibility with the PS1, the PS2 is my personal favorite system of all time :)

The PS2 brought so many memories, especially in my teenage years. Even in 2008, there was some games to look forward to, which was very fortunate because in those days, I couldn't get a PS3, 360 or Wii unless I got lucky or asked for it for Christmas. And the PS2 still had great games to look for I missed out on even then. I still remember playing Guitar Hero with friends and family, and I'd be lying if I said I don't go back every now and then. Every once in a while, I still collect for the system, at least when it comes to games still stuck on the console.

Real talk, I cried when I saw this. Welcome back.

My ps2 still works, very reliable.

I am spreading the word I enjoy the fact that you point out obscure games

This console had great games for every gamer’s preference. I own a black, silver and white one. 😊👍

Dragon Quest for the ps2 By my opinion is one of the best games for the system

So by your logic of the ps2 selling 155m only because of the cd scratch thing.. then the 360 only sold 90m cause of the rrod

I watched this day one but didn't have time to SAY GAME SACK GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK!!! Normal Sunday service is resumed 👍

Gamesack: First we're going to take a look at and it's a platformer. Also Gamesack: Next we're going to show you and it's a platformer. Also Also Gamesack: At 16 MEGA POWER, it's an action platformer. Gamesack's turn: This is a really fun golf game, but primarily it's a platformer. No King's Field in this one either, eh guys?

So glad my favorite channel is back!

my favorite game for the ps2 is beyond good and evil

That intro was expertly done guys.

The APE ESCAPE franchise was so addicting that I am shocked that there wasn't a cartoon show based on it?

The pressure sensitive buttons were the awesomest feature and I can't believe that they didn't make it into all future console controllers!!

WOO Game Sack is back!

The skit at the end of the video is how I feel about the system, and all PlayStation products since.

I miss the old Game Sack - two likable guys just talking to each other.

Why does NO ONE ever talk about King's field, when KF4 was a great PS2 title that served as the basis for Dark Souls!? ಠ_ಠ

Long time no see Gentlemen, glad your back!

Hauting Ground is one of my favorite obscure game on the system. fortunatly it seems its getting more and more attention lately

I grew up with the PS2 as a kid. And I gotta say it truly is an amazing console! So many childhood memories I had with that thing!

Nice Review!!! So many hidden gems that I did not know about!

Shame you used MGS2 instead of MGS3. MGS3 is easily the best MGS imo. Ape Escape 2 is easily one of my favourite PS2 games.

For me, it's a toss-up between the PS2 and the PS3 for best console of all time. Both systems just had (still have) SO many games, encompassing all genres... on top of playing DVD, CD, and Blu Ray (PS3) discs! Hard to beat... and I've been gaming since 1985!

ps2 represents the best days of my life

I'm shocked that you didn't play star wars battle front 2. That was my favorite game for the ps2! I'm still happy that you played shadow of the colossus that will have to be my second fav game to play lol!

Greatest console of all time in my book. Worst built quality of all time though. I went through 3 of these things. Welcome back, Game Sack!

7 years late to the channel but hey I’m here lol…. I remember getting our PS2 and all we had was a demo disk and Grand Turismo 3 for a year or so.

Welcome back guys, you have been surely missed
