Hi Lindsay,
I guess it really depends on what you view as accessible, and how much
work you are willing to put into practicing the game to make it playable
by you.
For example the fighting games like Mortal Kombat are all fairly
accessible once you memorize the menus, and have another blind or
sighted gamer walk you through it a couple of times.
The WWE wrestling games like WWE Smackdown vs Raw are accessible once
you learn the different moves, sounds, and memorize a few things.
Brandon Coal has a podcast around somewhere on WWE Smackdown VS Raw, and
it is a great introduction into the wrestling games for the PS2 and PSP.
The Tomb Raider series of games I really like aren't accessible as such,
but can be played with some sighted asistance. I have however discovered
some tips and tricks that helps me get around in the games. For example,
as long as I keep Lara Croft in walk mode I won't fall off of ledges,
buildings, etc. I can walk her right up to an edge, she will stop, and
then I can use the reverse safety drop command to safely turn her around
and have her drop to the ground below. It took me lots and lots of
practice. As far as jumping over stuff I try to time the jump by
counting the time I have Lara in the air. Still some guess work
involved, but I can usually do it if I am consistent about counting the
time. I wouldn't recommend something as complex as TR for your first PS2
game.
Like I said if you really want something somewhat easy to learn and play
try a fighting game like Mortal Kombat or similar as a start. Those you
can get the hang of fairly quickly. As for other games I suggest renting
them and trying them out before you actually buy it to see if it is
somewhat playable or not.
