Playstation 2 awards

From thecrankyhermit

This is a guide to the best games made on the PS2, year-by-year. Each year will have a number of games that represent the best crop of that year, divided by genre.

I only list games that were either originally made for PS2, or were ported within the same year of their original release.

I hate MMORPGs, traditional sports games, and Maxis-style sim games. I don't include any of them.
