The date: March 4, 2000. Having finally cleaned out the last of your crazy uncle's Y2K fallout shelter, you can finally throw on your trucker hat and puka shells, send a text to your friend using that hella cool new T-9 function, and put that status up on MySpace – you were going out to pick up the new generation of PlayStation, the PS2. No more fifth-generation games for you – pshaw! As if! That was so last year. You were going to get it (and the $80 worth of accessories and memory cards) and this was now the new best day of your life. You just had to wait for your mom to come home, then you could bizzay-bounce.
Flash forward to today, and Y2K is just a memory, along with MySpace and T-9. But great games last forever (figuratively, of course) and many gamers still have their functional PlayStation 2. Today's the day to celebrate Sony's sixth-generation console as today marks its fifteenth birthday! We all know there are some classic games associated with Sony's effort released on this day in the year 2000, but there are also some intriguing, quirky, and surprisingly fun titles that sometimes don't get the love they deserve. In honor of the PS2's fifteenth birthday, we've found 15 of these underappreciated titles that can be found in the PS2 library.
Why don't you head on out tonight to rent some at your local Blockbuster Vide – oh, wait.
