1) Katamari Damacy

I got this gaem a month ago when i got my PS2. It is way too much fun. It's even fun when your not the one playing. You only use the two little joysticks on the controller–no buttons. And you move around picking up stuff smaller than your ball while avoiding stuff bigger. Every stage you have a certain amount of time to get to a certain size. That't it! The gameplay is easy to learn, hard to master. And just so much fun. You start out as small as a pin, with mice knocking you around. And then five minutes later you realize your picking up those mice. And then a few levels later its the same thing with houses. And then stadiums and skyscrapers –itscrazy!

The backstory is even better. The king of all cosmos got drunk and knocked all the stars out of the sky. So you, the itty-bitty prince, have to use katamaris to collect stuff and then send the big balls up into space for new stars. In the final stage you are recreating the moon.

2) Ikaruga

 What can I say? I got this like 6 months ago for the gamecube. Its the most aesthetically beautiful, most well-crafted, most insane gaem ever. It's in its own league. It's an old-style vertical shooter. You know: blow up everything and dodge the bullets like mad, never take your eyes of the screen. This one, though, has an intensity as yet unheard of. Everything is bipolar: white and black–both the enemies and you. You can switch at any time from black to white or white to black. When you are white you can absorb the white bullets. Visa-versa when your black.

The color of the bullets you shoot is the color you are. When you hit enemies with the opposite color you do twice the damage. There are only 5 levels. The entire game is like 25 minutes long. But you wanna play it over and over and over and over. I've already logged in tons of hours on this gaem. It's kinda rare and still costs around 50$ if you find it. But o man is it worth it. O, one more thing, in this game its one hit and you are dead. ONE HIT. No shield or nothing.
