FFX if you are starved for a cheap laugh. I liked the game, but damn, only one twist was a shock.ReservoirAngel said:

Congratulations on buying the finest console that ever has been or will be made. Might I suggest Syphon Filter: Omega Strain? Easily the best overall of the entire. series, IMO
Ratchet and clank: up your arsenal
Champions of Norath (get a multitap)
Champions: return to arms
the Champion's games are very similar to baldur's gate but in the everquest realm with more races/classes a way better inventory system 4 player co-op(i believe dark alliance has this also but I know the xbox version of the first baldur's gate does not)
sly cooper(And the thievious nocturnes?)
Sly 2:Band of thieves
Sly 3: honor among thieve's
metal gear solid collection(there is a collection edition with the first 3)
splinter cell(if you like stealth but is kinda tough)
sonic mega collection(the good sonic games
dark cloud
dark cloud 2(way better then first one)
there may be more but i can not think of any more right now besides
Hitman(is it for ps2?)
EDIT: fixed typos

If you liked Final Fantasy VII, then I recommend Dirge of Cerberus. Great follow up that takes a Devil May Cry approach to action, with rpg elements.
The Dragonball Z Budokai and Tenkaichi Budokai games are good fun too, though I'm a bit of a biased person to recommend those in all honesty. If you like Dragonball, and you like fighting games, try them. Budokai 3 and Tenkaichi 3 I most definitely recommend.
The Kingdom Hearts games are must plays. The juxtaposition of Square-Enix characters/environments in a slightly angsty narrative, combined with the happy feel good (and yet still dramatic) Disney worlds, along with a good solid action RPG battle system, make for an extremely epic experience.
Metal Gear Solid 3 is an absolute must. As much as I love Sons of Liberty, it doesn't even compare to Snake Eater. I wont spoil the story for you, but in regards to gameplay the camouflage system really adds to the stealth gameplay, just try it!
If you see SEGA Classics Collection about then it's worth getting. It includes fun remakes of Golden Axe, Outrun, Space Harrier, Virtua Racing, and more, all with enhanced graphics. Worth a play.
No Playstation library is complete without a Wipeout game. Wipeout Fusion... get it.
I'll leave a list of some more, can't elaborate without going overboard on the length of the post.
Timesplitters trilogy, Tekken Tag/4/5, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Gitaroo Man, Jak trilogy, Devil May Cry, Soul Calibur II/III, Zone of the Enders 1/2, WWE Crush Hour, Gran Turismo 4.

Get Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II. They aren't technobabel and they are pretty fun to play.
Also, if you are in for an obscure giant robot game, try RAD: Robotic Alchemic Drive. It has original controls and a half-decent story.
Manhunt is good for MATURE audiences, but it is really, really fun. Not only do you get to stab redneck biggots in the eye with glass, but you also get decent graphics and interesting sneak-in-the-shadows gameplay.
Sims 2 is for casual gamers mostly, but it is a good port of the PC favorite. It doesn't have alot of the things that the PC version has, like children or birth, but it has relations, character creation, and so on. You can build a one story house and enjoy blocking your characters into walls and watch them turn to ghosts.
Mercenaries Playground of Destruction is better than the sequel, and it is one of the best GTA clones ever. Honestly, get it and see how cool it can be. It even has cool cheat codes like a Han Solo and Indiana Jones costume cheat!
This is likely the best time to get a PS2 from a market perspective because it is the cheapest it has ever been to buy games and system hardware. Gamestop is full of the best titles and reviews exist for nearly every game so that research can be done. If you ever feel any sort of question rise about a game, you can just go to Youtube and watch reviews.

Ratchet and clank games and Timesplitter series. There's also a now fairly rare game called Roadtrip Adventure, that was a really unique, interesting experience.

The Thing I love most about PS2 is the compatability with PS1, DVD, and CD's... ah... the already vast library of the PS2 added with the huge library of classic PS1 titles... I only wish that the bloody PS3 played PS2 games. THat's the one and only reason I don't purchase that thing.
STOP! don't get any of those 3 games! ico and shadow of the colossus are being released HD when last guardian comes out and silent hill 2 is terrible.
instead, get persona 4, killer7, kingdom hearts 2 (and 1), and final fantasy x. these games are AWWWEESSOOOMME!

GTA: San Andreas, GTA: Vice City, Medal of Honour: Frontlines, Call of Duty (1,2+3), Fifa 2005, Tomb Raider (1+2), Final Fantasy (10+12).
to name a few.
