Entertainment/Gaming Consoles

So I'm thinking about buying <b>Red Faction</b> for my PS2. I've read really good things about it (IGN rates it at a 9.1 or something) and it's only $20, which is cool. Gotta love that whole Greatest Hits deal - I have all of them except Dark Cloud and Red Faction, and that's because I haven't gotten around to Red Faction and Dark Cloud doesn't seem like my type of game really. I'm open to the idea though - but I'll focus on what I've got before taking on an entirely new genre.

I spent an hour or so 100%-ing the first two levels in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 with a second skater last night - on my way to completing the game again. I can't even stress how fucking great that game is and just how fun I find it. Infinitely playable. Way better than Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. After playing 3, I find it hard to even go back to 2 - it's that much better. I'm going to be playing that game until Tony Hawk 4 comes out.

I'm still thinking about putting the PS2 upright, and you still haven't told me if you've heard anything bad about doing so

Work is fun, so I'm gonna get back to that. But I just really want to get home and play some Hawk tonight. It's good fun.
