Online Games
PS2 Here is my personal list of PS2 games I've
tried out online. I would like this to be a complete
list but I just don't have that kind of time. There
is a complete list of online games
here, but they don't tell you much information
on certain features.
Notes:As
of 03.06 there are literally 100s of players still
playing Monster Hunter every night. The game is
organized into Worlds, Areas, and Towns, with
up to 8 people per town and 1 to 4 players can
go on a particular quest at a time. The lack of
USB headset makes communication difficult and
the cumbersom "soft" keyboard almost
necessitates a USB keyboard.

Notes:The
coop mode for this game online is almost better
than coop offline. Offline you are restricted
to the same screen as your buddies. But online
you can go whereever you want. The downside is
that loading screens disable voice.

Notes:Entertaining
coop mode. Unlike Champions of Norrath, you can't
stray from your teamates, you are confined to
a single screen. Also the menus are terrible,
and downright awful online. Still, a worthwhile
game to spend your time on.
