Im a gamer always have been always will be. Im part of Gaming R in the UK so i get random top games for both the PS2 and XBOX delivered once in a while on rental.
I love the PS2 because it was the first console i got out of the two. I got it on launch day and it still works amazingly to this day!
I love games like the Smackdown Series, Timesplitters, Mercenaries, SSX was a great little game back in the day and it even got my whole family hooked on the PS2 at the time. Getting GTA earlier than everyone else!

There's a lot i love about the PS2, i would say mainly though its the Smackdown Series for me, that alone sells the console to me.
The Xbox i love too even though for all his billions Bill cant seem to get anyone to make an ABOVE AVERAGE WRESTLING GAME!
Other than that though you have games like Halo 1 & 2, Spartan Total Warrior, Knights of The Old Republic I & II, Xbox is great for shoot em ups like Halo again and Far Cry, it seems to handle graphics like that a little better than the PS2 for me. Also games like Splinter Cell always seem that little bit better graphics wise on the XBOX - and smoother too.
Even with all that said though i still prefer my PS2..
I always speak my mind anyway, but when it comes to consoles i really speak my mind because I HAVE BOTH. I'll have both a XBOX 360 and a PS3 again later next year simply because i love gaming its my release, others have porn but i have my gaming after a long day at the office.
I would say in the future im more looking forward to the PS3 - simply for the smackdown series, MGS games, and the next gen GTA. Plus i want to see how good SSX can be compared to the PS2 version just to see how much better it is.
