Top 20 PlayStation 2 Games (PS2 Turns 20) - Presented by The Legend of Retro
It might seem like it was yesterday when the PlayStation 2 was being sold in stores, but today marks the 20 year anniversay of it’s release in Japan. It was the console that broke the record for most units sold (a record that still holds today) and was praised for it’s backwards compatibility. So, to show our love for this innovative and ground breaking platform, the Legend of Retro argued and fought (but ultimately decided) on the top 20 games released on the PlayStation 2. Let’s begin:
