What games do you like? That would help a bit since a good game to one isn't a good game to someone else (says the only man in the U.S. who loves Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage)

That being said!

PSX:
Final Fantasy 7 - 9
Final Fantasy Anthology (1 & 2), (5 & 6) and, (4 & Chrono Cross...don't ask)
Parappa the Rapper
Resident Evil 1 - 3

PS2:
Dragon Quest VIII
Final Fantasy X
Grand Theft Auto Vice City
Okami
Shin Megami Tenshi 3 & 4 (probably 2 as well, never played that)

Dance Dance Revolution...all of them

[Soviet Heavy]

Star Wars Battlefront and the Timesplitters games.

 

[Whitbane]

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Fantastic game.

 

[SuperSamio64]

The original SSX, TimeSplitters, The Ratchet and Clank series, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and maybe Red Dead Revolver.

 

[Akytalusia]

no mention of kingdom hearts: final mix, or kingdom hearts II: final mix, yet? well, might as well throw them in the pile with the others.

 

[scorptatious]

Well as others have said,Final Fantasy VII-IX.

Also,

Shadow of the Colossus
ICO
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2.
Ratchet and Clank series
Jak and Daxter series
Spyro 1-3
Metal Gear Solid series. (For 3, get the Subsistence version if you can. It allows you to change the way the camera works if you so choose)
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Persona 3:FES and Persona 4. That's all you'll need for a while.

This.

Also: Xenogears (the best game ever made) and Xenosaga 1-3.

Others have mentioned many other worthwhile titles. I will also throw in behind Silent Hill 1-3. Weirdly (or not) still find Silent Hill 1 the most fun to actually play, even if 2 had the better story.

 

[ScrabbitRabbit]

Shin Megami Tenshi 3 & 4 (probably 2 as well, never played that)

SMT 4 isn't out, unless you count Strange Journey which is a DS exclusive... are you sure you don't mean Persona?

But yeah SMT 3: Nocturne/Lucifer's Call is a fantastic RPG.

What kinda games do you like though? It's hard to recommend games without knowing what you're into.

 

[Hazy]

Can't go wrong with the King's Field games.

I'm pretty sure he means the Persona games,but Nocturne is cool too.

Can't go wrong with the King's Field games.

Isn't that the precursor to the Souls franchise?
I'm curious about them after beating Dark Souls.

 

[Baldry]

Klonoa: Door to phantomile and Klonoa 2 whatever it's called
