Curating a PS2 Classic - Controlled Burnes Ep. 28

from Controlled Burnes · host Andrew Burnes

On this week's episode, Andrew keeps the freewheelin' video game console discussions coming with a draft of two different versions of a potential PS2 classic, one designed to hit the widest mainstream appeal and another catered to his own specific favorite games on the console. So the second list is his de-facto favorite PS2 games of all time. Andrew spent a lot of time with the console in his childhood and still dusts it off for some nostalgic bursts now and again, so if you also grew up with the console enjoy this nostalgic trip down memory lane.Controlled Burnes is a weekly hobby-list podcast with a particular focus on lists and topics related to video games, music, TV/film as well as other hobbies and aspects of pop culture.
