With a library as vast as the PS2's, it's a bit tough to sift through all of it to pick out the console's finest games. IGN have tried and come up with a list of their top 25 PS2 games of all times. You'll see plenty of familiar titles.

A couple times over the past few years, we've decided to sit down and take a good, cold, hard look at the PlayStation 2's library and select the best of the best to let you know what our favorites were (and are). Even though the system is fighting with every last breath to stay alive, it's still surprising to us that new games continue to creep into our list. So, because it's been a while, we figured it was time to look at our picks again and update our choices for the best 25 PlayStation 2 games of all time.

Now, it's important to note that we went about choosing these titles not because they were fun when they came out or because they were influential to future games in some way. No, these picks are the best games to play today. Think of it as the desert island question - if you're stranded somewhere for the rest of your life with 25 PS2 games to play, these are the games that you'd want to bring. They're the most entertaining, engrossing and downright fun picks from the PlayStation 2's massive library.

So without further ado, let's get this list started.
