Collider has published a ranked list celebrating the ten best games released on Sony's PlayStation 2, the best-selling games console in history. The article argues that the PS2's enduring legacy rests as much on its exceptional game library as on its hardware innovations, such as its built-in DVD player, and credits the console's dominance with pushing SEGA out of the hardware market entirely.

The list spans a wide range of genres and franchises, from the tenth-placed "God of War II" (2007), praised for its combo-based combat and spectacular set-pieces, to the ninth-placed "Katamari Damacy" (2004), celebrated for its bizarre, addictive premise of rolling up ever-larger objects into a giant ball. The author, Robert Lee III, frames the selections as some of the finest games of the 2000s, highlighting both continuations of major franchises and titles that launched now-iconic gaming icons.
