Because I have 2 copies of Time Crisis 2... And 3, but starting with 2.

After this I linked them up.
The link up system isn't as good as 2 people dual wielding in 2 separate games, but better than an arcade machine because when I'm sick of Time Crisis 2 I can play Time Crisis 3!

Time Crisis 2 and 3 only use ilink (the 4 pin Firewire ports on the front of fat PS2'S) and like zero other games worth playing use that ilink system.

If I could have dual wielded guns while linked with the second console who also dual wielded guns it would be the greatest game ever made. But nope.

I've been playing Colin McRae Rally on PS1.
mainly to see if my new laser worked, but then I got hooked for a few hours.

The game holds up pretty well, and the cars look quite nice on a modern TV. Just ignore the backgrounds, they look dreadful and I'll be taking the game to a proper CRT shortly now my good PS1 is working properly again.

Played London Cab challenge on PS2. It's amazing.

Well it's not, it's actually really bad, but the comparisons Ive been making to Crazy Taxi have been enjoyable. I've been playing with my own soundtrack of The Clash and The Sex Pistols (because of course they are the only correct soundtrack for this game) here's some translations.

"Hey hey! Come on over, have some fun with Crazy Taxi"
becomes
"Welcome, welcome! gather here for some whimsical entertainment playing London Cab Challenge!"

"Go ahead and pick a car and driver"
Becomes
"If you'd be so kind to choose a vehicle and operator, what what!"

And some of the invisible customers have allowed me to put on British accents and invent my own sayings for them. This fact alone has provided me with more enjoyment than the rest of the game combined.

"Drive me down to the KFC"
Becomes
"I say, old sport, would you mind awfully taking me to the twinings factory?!"

"I wanna go to the baseball stadium"
Becomes
"TAKE US TO WEMBLEY TO SEE OASIS, YOU WANKER! D'YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN?"

"You lousy driver"
Becomes
"I say good sir, your driving on this particular trip has been quite suboptimal, and I regret to inform you that I will be leaving you with a negative review. Sorry."

"Watch it, you idiot"
Becomes
"My word, you just came dreadfully close to causing an accident and or injury, please be more careful in the future"

"I need to get to the heliport"
Becomes.
"Heathrow, hurry. thanks."

So yeah.
My version is heaps better.
