The PlayStation 2 released at the turn of the new millennium, where stylistic standards across the spectrum of entertainment were changing and evolving. While there were plenty of games in previous generations I would happily call “cool,” as a millennial myself, I can’t help but be drawn to the PS2’s particular flavor of cool. It’s what I grew up with, after all. It wasn’t just about mascot platformers or driving tanks anymore. The PS2’s games offered a tour of the entire coolness spectrum, with the library all but guaranteed to have at least one title that made you say, “Whoa, that’s cool.”
