Ben-DutkaYeah, it's the classic: if you were stranded on a desert island…but we're going to add one extra twist. First of all, we'll just abandon reality for a moment and assume there's a magical set of electrical outlets on this desert island, and everyone has a bad-ass 52" 1080p high-def Plasma. In other words, you have the option of playing any system and any game; but which console would you take, and what would the games be? Now, you could be cheesy and take the original 60GB PS3, which would give you access to most all PS3, PS2 and PS1 titles, but as the current default PS3 does not offer backwards compatibility for PS2 software, that can't be used. You can, however, use the PS2 for PS1 games.
Which is what I'm gonna do. Here's what I'd take-
PlayStation 2
Final Fantasy Tactics : Because, that's why. Because it's the greatest game ever made. Because it's my favorite game ever. I could survive just fine with only this game if I was stranded on a desert island with a PS2, a TV, and a magical electrical outlet. Oh, and I'd need a PS1 memory card, so I'm going to add a last-second addendum. Get me my Lv. 99 Mastered Wizard with a Mastered Math Skill, Robe of Lords, Magic Gauntlet, MP Switch, and MagicAttackUp, and I'm good to go!
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night : I was surprised at just how quickly I took to this game, as I had never even finished a Castlevania title before Alucard's adventure. Perhaps it was because it was easier than previous entries in the series, or maybe it was because it had RPG elements that I vastly enjoyed. Or it could be due to the best soundtrack in history…oh, there are plenty of attractive elements, and I wouldn't be without it.
Final Fantasy VII : In my opinion, it's still the best RPG ever and after having gone through it four times and started a new game countless other times, it has yet to grow old. The characters, the story, the world, the Materia and overall gameplay; it was just so stellar and memorable. I still remember freaking out when Aeris died (yeah, it's a spoiler but if you didn't know about it, you're not a gamer), and threatening to drop $50 for a Game Shark in order to get her back. FFVII has a permanent place in my heart, plain and simple.
Hot Shots Golf: Fore! : Surprised? You shouldn't be. I've loved the HSG series since the beginning, and while Out of Bounds for the PS3 is awesome, I think they screwed up the implementation of the Advanced Shot system, and Fore! remains the best in terms of balance and overall fun. I challenge anyone to take me on in any HSG – provided they don't use the uber-lame Advanced Shot mechanic in OoB – and I promise you it won't be easy to win. I was one of the best online players in Fore! , although I'm probably out of practice now.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City : Still my favorite of all the GTAs, and that's primarily because I'm a huge '80s fan. I'd be perfectly happy if the next GTA is a direct sequel to this one, and set in the exact same time period. Tommy Vercetti, the obvious "Scarface" references, and the rest of the atmosphere got me from the start, and I'll still drop it in to play even today. Just cruising around listening to my '80s tunes is enough for me! And I will fight you if you start slinging wisecracks. 😉
I suppose my next option would be to take the PS1 with the three titles above, along with Twisted Metal 2 and Suikoden . My third choice would be the SNES with Super Mario All-Stars , The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past , NHL '94 , Madden '92 , and Final Fantasy VI .
it would have to be my 500gb original 60 PS3 and the games would have to be LBP, Gran Turismo 5, KZ2, FF VII, and MGS4
My options would be my PSP, as I have several games to catch up on.
I'm not saying my PS3 because there'd be rarely or no Wi-Fi around the island DX
And plus, I don't have a lot of single-player games (yet, as I have and completed, a lot of my PS2 games, and the majority of them are single-player).
I'll use my HDTV mostly for shade then lmao
P.S. Really fun Editorial to think about thank you making it.

1. Final Fantasy X
2. Final Fantasy X-2 (to complete the story)
3. Jak 3

Q!
"i aM hOMe"
Vice City is my favourite gta too . I hope the next one is situated there .
I will take a gaming pc with ps2 emulators and a satellite internet connection , to download any game I want for free.
I am sorry, but if you are gonna leave me on an island, then I will have to take up piracy .

I'm gonna cheat because that's how I roll, I will bring my 60 gb PS3.
The full Metal Gear Solid Series (counts as one in my world)
Final Fantasy VII
Gran Turismo 5 including a Driving Force GT steering wheel
The God of War series (I-III, also counts as one in my world)
Final Fantasy XIII
Damn that would be sweet if that was true. Oh, and I would also get stranded in about a year and a half or so, in order for all those games to have been released.
I'd take my 60GB ps3 😀 and all my games
But if it was the 80GB ps3 I'd still take it over the ps2 since it can also play ps1 games(have a lot of great ps1 games).
im gonna go the cheesy rout i want my 60gb back so bad it makes me wanna cry, i do have an 80gb now but for the sake of imagining im going with the 60gb PS3 and my list of games are not going to be games that have not came out yet except there may be an exception of one game KZ2 cus i think it will satisfy me for a very long time, then again if i had to go tomorrow i would choose….
1: the elder scrolls IV: oblivion with shivering isles expansion (i have countless hours on this game with 5 dif. characters it never gets old!) 2: COD:MW. 3: LBP. 4: Resistance 2 5: SFIV for the fighter in me pshh lol! that was tough and in no particular order who knows tomorrow i may change my mind but the good news is i dont have to choose so yay!!!!
I'd have to go with my PS2 and bring along Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 2, Socom 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

My PS3
1.Unchartered
2.Resistance 2
3. MLB the show
4. Fallout 3 Now I can do everything
5.GT5 and my G25 Wheel
NES, all games. It would take me six years to beat Megaman, you can't say that about any PS3 title.

You can't say that of any PS3 game because PS3 saves your games where you left off.
The NES does not so every time you turn off your console you have to start over.
Probably my Xbox 360 with Forza 2, NHL 09, Rock Band 2, GTA IV (with L&D) and Geometry Wars 2.
Woot! PS2 and GTA: Vice City FTW! I like cruising and listening to the old school music as well as the satire stations (VCPR is funny as :D)
PS1 with Crash 1,2,3,team racing and bash (although its not as good as the others)
Oh yeah, can't beat the old Crash games man 😀
Or, could i have a PS3 and access to the store. Endless hours of fun on that. I could get all the crash games on it aswell 🙂
PlayStation 3 with Grand Theft Auto IV, Call of Duty 4, Skate 2, LittleBigPlanet and Bioshock. I would be very happy. 🙂
I am not going anywhere till GoW III comes out .
I'd go with my NINTENDO 64.
Play:
Goldeneye
Mario 64
Zelda Ocarina of you know what.
Mission Impossible
Mario Party
Donkey Kong 64
Ben i think we need a poll;
FFVII vs Zelda OCT
members of this site might inevitably go for FFVII.Using the rankings i believe Zelda OCT is the best game of all time?
IT IS!
Majoras Mask >
I would definitely vote of OOT –> So Amazing!!!
probably an PSP with…..
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles
Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded
PoP: Rival Swords
PoP: Revelations
Guilty Gear Judgement
Im taking my 60Gb Ps3
I'd take
Playstation Eye
Gta – 3, Vice city, 4
Gran Turismo – 3,4,5
MGS – 1,2,3,4
FF – VII
Cod4
Tom Clancys Rainbow six vegas 2
PS2 with
FF7
Kingdom Hearts
Timesplitters Future Perfect
Vandal Hearts
God of War
PS3
Vice City
Uncharted
FIFA o9
Killzone 2
MSG
PS3 with
Bioshock -Best game ever
Timesplitters 2-3
COD 4
LBP
GTA Vice City
Since I own a 60 gig I'll go with that.
I'd def. have to take Shadow of the Colossus cause it's my fav game of all time, and I can never get tired of that.
Then I'd probably take either guitar hero 3 or 4 (can't choose) for it's replayability so I won't get bored so quick.
Sonic Unleashed cause I love sonic games, and even though everyone hates on this, I love it.
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, for all the great genesis games on it :D.
and lastly it all comes down to either one of the Budokai games or Burnout Paradise. If I went for one of the budokai games, it'd probably be Burst Limit, cause it has the best fighting, Although 3 was really good too, and it has more content, or I might take Infinite World, but I have yet to beat it so I duno how it tops up in the end… As for Burnout, that's just a no brainer, and with all the updates coming to it aswell, that's unlimited fun.
