    Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal... in fact, the whole series.

    As Shimbibby said the Sly cooper games are pretty good. I think I liked #2 the best.
    Jak 1 or 3 also fits along the same genre as the others. Jak 2 seems to get the most accolades but I liked that one the least.

    I'm playing Shadow of the Colossus right now, and it is pretty interesting so far. I'd reccomend it.

    In Kingdom Hearts, playing with Disney characters sounds a bit childish to me. Is it good enough to overcome playing a game with Goofy in it, or am I making a fool of myself?

    I just bought a ps2 off my friend for $35. the original phat one, but ehh at least it stands vertical. 
     
    I want to play persona 3 FES alot. Why I bought the ps2 in the first place. I sold mine before persona 3 came out, but loved the first 2.
    I'm gonna hold off on GOW 1 & 2 for the HD release. 
    I'll probably buy FF 13, so maybe I'll try X. Is 12 any good? Never played a FF game after the SNES
     
    What still stands up today?

    @MrOldboy: FFX definitely still is a fantastic game, i dont like FF12 as much but its a good game.  FFX and Persona 3&4 are some of the only rpgs i can stand playing

    My PS2 recommendations are:
     

    • Zone of the Enders:  The 2nd Runner.  The game conveniently contains a summary of the story to the first ZOE, so there's no need to play it to understand the story.
    • Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3
    • Persona 3 FES & Persona 4
    • Final Fantasy X and XII
    • Kingdom Hearts I and II.  Also Re:  Chain of Memories, if you haven't played the GBA version.
    • Fatal Frame I, II, and III
    • Silent Hill 2
    • Street Fighter Alpha Anthology

    God of War 1 and 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, Bully, Silent Hill 2, Tekken 4... the list goes on. PS2 was a great system with an incredible lineup of games and there's so much great games you could of missed on.
