Spider-Man 2: The Game – PS2
Spider-Man 2: The Game for the PS2 is one of the most successful examples of a open-world game, even in today’s generation.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 – PS2
Sometimes, you can pinpoint the moment when you realized that your favorite console was going to be phased out. For me, it was the terrible port of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. With gamebreaking bugs shipped in the box and corners cut wherever the developers could get away with it, it was the moment when I realized the PS2 was no longer worth every company’s best efforts to program for. Witness this harrowing recollection of loss and heartbreak in the spirit of April’s Foolish Games!

Ghosthunter – PlayStation 2
If you’ve got a Halloween hangover, “Ghosthunter” might just be the hair of the dog that bit you. Or, it might not. It’s going to be one or the other. Not quite terrifying and not quite a Saturday morning cartoon, its lush visuals, unparallelled atmospheres, precise controls and buckets of charm all work against recurring clunky design moments that have you floating aimlessly in the next dimension, or pacing in circles.
