In anticipation for the release of Hogwarts Legacy, we are taking a look at Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for the PS2. How well does Harry Potter make the leap to video games? Does the story remain faithful to the source material? Do the mechanics and graphics hold up almost two decades later? Find out on this magical episode of Analog Schtick: A PlayStation 2 podcast!

It&#39;s movie tie-in time! This month Morgan and Clayton are discussing TMNT for PS2 (as well as the movie that released along side it). The game is an action platformer, in the same vein as the Prince of Persia games, and is developed by Ubisoft Montreal. Is TMNT for the PS2 a shameless cash grab? Or an overlooked PS2 hidden gem?

This month Morgan and Clayton play Call of Duty: Finest Hour, the first game to in the series to come to consoles and arguably the worst Call of Duty game ever made. The gruesome horrors of war pale in comparison to the game&#39;s terrible performance, stingy checkpoint system, and abysmal gunplay. We discuss all this and more in this episode of Analog Schtick: A PlayStation 2 Podcast!

James Bond 007 Nightfire pales in comparison to the legacy left by Goldeneye on the N64. But don&#39;t let the comparative lack of buzz fool you, this is a game that is certainly worth your time and attention even decades later. We discuss all this and more on this episode of Analog Schtick: A PlayStation 2 podcast.

This month we cover Haunting Ground (Demento) by Capcom, the seemingly forgotten survival horror game. Despite being over shadowed by Resident Evil 4 during the year of it&#39;s release, Haunting Ground has gathered a notable fanbase in the years since it release. Is it worthy of its hidden gem status? Or is Haunting Ground best left forgotten? Find out in this episode of Analog Schtick!

Join us as we discuss the first entry in one of the PlayStation 2’s best selling franchises. Developed by Rainbow Studios, and released in February of 2001, ATV Offroad Fury and its sequels would go on to sell an estimated 4.5 million units. So, if you had a PlayStation 2, chances are you have some memories of this series. We discuss all this and more, on this episode of Analog Schtick: A PlayStation 2 Podcast!

Chulip is a very unique game. At it&#39;s core, it is a life-sim/adventure game, but the twist is that your goal is to KISS everyone in your small Japanese town, in order to earn the love of your dream girl. While this game failed to garner much of following during it&#39;s initial launch and in the years since, we feel that there is actually a lot to love about this game... and a lot to hate...
