So yes, thrown open to the lovely floor here! I'm getting paid on Wednesday and feel like treating myself to a lightgun as my first ever PS2 purchase (it's my sister's PS2 yasee, not mine) and a game to go with it, as it's the one thing a PC (as far as I know) doesn't have.

Thing is there's no shortage of guns to choose from. So I'd need to know your experiences with them and so on, what you found best, is a reload pedal a necessity etc. etc.

Moreover the game I was *thinking* of getting was Time Crisis 3, since my local shop does a good £38 bundle (G-Con 2 + TC3) but if you know any better games (or indeed a better blaster) let me know please! Thanks!

I've got the G-Com2 and TC3, same deal as you I think, but with my 30% discount!

Seemed pretty good to me, much the same as playing Time Crisis in the arcades, though I'm not the greatest judge as I kinda suck!

/end boob rant

Hmmm just seen another interesting one... TC2 + 2 scorpion light guns, same price. Does anyone know if you can do the akimbo trick in TC3 as well (i.e. 2 guns for one player)? If so I'll just get that.

Don't waste money on the blasted consoles! BLASPHEMY!

That being said, the two scorps and TC2 sounds like a good deal. Enjoy

Heh, don't panic, it's the only thing I'm gonna buy for it, it's just there's nowt good on PC and I've just bought Arcanum at a bargain 3.60 (roughly $7) so I'm well busy!

Akimbo probably wouldn't work on TC2, since the two guns are two different people in different positions.

The G-Con is solid, there are light guns out there that look (and even feel) like real guns though, I could imagine that improving the immersion factor.

If you can read this, you need better glasses.

I would reccomend the guncon since I have heard it to be the most accurate gun. Time Crisis 3 does not have a double gun mode. Another light gun game I would reccomend is Vampire Nights. It's kind of like House of the Dead except with vampires.

i'd recommend Resident Evil Dead Aim

it's like any resident evil game but with good controls and first person view for shooting that can be done with the analog stick, a USB mouse, or a lightgun

also if you want you can do 2 player co-op in the starsky and hutch game where the seoncd player shoots with the lightgun while player 1 drives the car

and the PC does have lightguns... but i don't know how easy they are to find and fewer lightgun enabled games for PC exist than for PS2

------------------
LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

Point Blank is still a blast if you have at least one friend to play it with. You could probably find it in a bargain bin for $5 somewhere.

Yeah I was thinking that too - I remember once upon a time on a ferry back from Ireland that got severely delayed - my Dad had over £20 of Irish money to get rid of (back before the Euro) and so I spent pretty much all of it in the arcade playing Point Blank... *sigh*

You're right, I'll have to pick up a copy - it's a PS1 game isn't it?

Yep

Drugs & Stupidity, Tons of it.

Heh, my favourite was always the fly one. One bullet, one tiny little fly zipping around the screen. Once I hit the fly in about 0.2 of a second by accidently pressing the trigger while trying to skip the pre-mission screens. That was a laugh.
