This week marks the 25th anniversary of the PlayStation 2's European launch. To celebrate, we played every (except that really long JRPG for obvious reasons) launch game and we're going to rank them in a tier list with D being absolute stinkers, and S being the cream of the crop.

The games are:

Aqua Aqua, Dynasty Warriors 2, Fantavision, FIFA 2001, Gradius III and IV, International Superstar Soccer, NHL 2001, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2, Ridge Racer V, Silent Scope, Smuggler's Run, SSX, Tekken Tag Tournament, TimeSplitters, and Wild Wild Racing.

Something for everyone, you surely agree! Are any of them good, though? We all know Wild Wil Racing is the drizzling shits, but can any game grab the sacred S tier?

Come say hi @winnerisyoupod over on Twitter or BlueSky - tell us your favourite PS2 launch game, whydontcha? We're keeping the PS2 party going next episode with our individual top 10 games of all time. See you then!

We're going way further back in time for this draft as part of a new yearly bonus episode where we draft from 30 years ago. 1995 is first (1996 next year, obvs) and, by god, getting reliable scores for these games is a reet ballache.

So, apologies for the messy caluclations, but there's still plenty to enjoy as KDB joins us for drafting fun once again - who can get the best total score for their 10 games from '95?

Say hi @winnerisyoupod on Twitter and BlueSky and we'll see you next time for our PS2 25th anniversary celebrations!

Or Project Zero II if you prefer names that are worse. That's right, it's Halloween and it's time to send off this year's Spooktoberfest with Tecmo's PS2 horror classic.

Get out your camera obscuras, hold your twin sister's hand and keep your calendar free for a bloody ritual or two (in case the first one fails) as we dive deep into the game's setting, story, gameplay, atmosphere, Wii remake and much more.
