Mission: Playstation 2 Launch

I had an epiphany of sorts last night as I completed level after level of Iron Man for the 360 with my friend constantly suggesting that we do anything else with our time: I'm pretty decent at terrible games and have an odd patience for them for the most part (I say this because I'll swear up a storm and get frustrated, yet insist on playing them anyway). So I got to thinking: what's a treasure trove of terrible games? And the answer came at me almost instantly: the Playstation 2 launch lineup. And so I've decided to try and go through every single PS2 launch title that isn't an annual sports title. The list is:

Armored Core 2 (Agetec, Action)
DOA2: Hardcore (Tecmo, Fighting)
Dynasty Warriors 2 (Koei, Action)
ESPN International Track and Field (Konami, Sports)
ESPN X-Games Snowboarding (Konami, Sports)
Eternal Ring (Agetec, RPG)
Evergrace (Agetec, RPG)
FantaVision (SCEI, Puzzle)
Gun Griffon Blaze (Working Designs, Action)
Kessen (EA, Adventure)
Midnight Club (Rockstar, Racing)
Moto GP (Namco, Racing)
Orphen (Activision, RPG)
Q-Ball Billiards Master (Take-Two Interactive, Simulation)
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 (Midway, Sports)
Ridge Racer V (Namco, Racing)
Silent Scope (Konami, Shooter)
Smuggler's Run (Rockstar, Racing-Adventure)
SSX (EA, Sports)
Street Fighter EX3 (Capcom, Fighting)
Summoner (THQ, RPG)
Swing Away (Paradise Golf in Japan) (EA, Sports)
Tekken Tag Tournament (Namco, fighting)
TimeSplitters (Eidos, First-Person Shooter)
Unreal Tournament (Infogrames, First-Person Shooter)
Wild Wild Racing (Interplay, Racing)
X-Squad (EA, Action)

That's 27 mostly horrible games, all guaranteed to be pretty cheap. I'll head to gamestop today to pick up the first batch and get this project rolling.
