I am a big fan of the PlayStation 2. Soon, GoozerNation has an article coming out on the battle for the Best Console Ever, and for me the PS2 is in a strong fight for the Number One Spot. But thanks to it being so close to my heart, I also remember it's flaws rather easily, much like my wife, who loves me very much, remembers my inability to get my dirty socks into the hamper.

To others, its the epic RPGs of the Playstation era and the crazy arcade fighters of the Saturn and Dreamcast.
