some games get loaded into memory and don't use the laser much. Other games are constantly being read by the laser (gta for example).

It would most likely be any game that has a lot of loading to it. There is not a list.
Games like racing games (Burnout, GT4, Colin McRae Rally)
Games that have constantly changing maps or scenery
like GTA, Half-Life

well just about any game that the PS2 has to keep up with constantly changing things that are going on in the game.

But i would not worry about it that much. If the laser goes it will go, it will not be due to the games you play. It could go due to cheap media you use if you make back ups.
i have a V7 and played through 3 GTA games and countless others.
have had it for many years and it still works fine. If the laser goes you can either buy a new PS2, or get a new laser installed.
If you are real worried about laser life then go out and buy a hard drive and play your games from it. Then you will not be using the laser.
