Get crackin!
Anyway, Star Fox Adventures is decent but it wasn't my cup o' tea. Primal is an alright game as well, and I dug the whole gothic/horror style of some of the levels. Fallout is a really good game, but I thought Fallout 2 was better. Overall, some pretty good choices but like I said good luck with trying to play them all, hah.
I can tell you that Yoshi Story is like 5 levels long so that would go by very fast.
Don't completely count out the PS3 though, it looks like a big year ahead for it.
Personally, I was kind of brushing off the PS3 until I heard Disgaea 3 and Valkyrie of the Battlefield were going to be released for it. I might as well take the gamble if it's going to have a golden age of great games like the PS2.
Shadow of the Colossus is an amazing game. You know how when a cutscene plays and you watch your character do things you can't possibly control them into doing? The entire game gives you that feeling of awe, except you're in control at all times.
If you've got a Wii I really recommend Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. The online play is broken, but there's so much stuff to do single player it hardly matters. It's an amazingly fun game to play with a friend, and in my opinion you haven't lived until you've killed a guy by throwing him through a mountain.
I love Rez and am currently trying to find a Trance Vibrator. Preferrably not used. (Awkward look) Just got a copy of Resident Evil 4 but haven't started playing it yet.
@WiiSucks
There is no hate. I just sleep like a normal person this semester so that I can get off of academic probation. And I am greatly interested in finding the first Half-Life.
Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest - This game came out before developers knew what gameplay was. This is kinda like the Lost Levels of the Castlevania series. Things don't make sense, townspeople lie about what you have to do, and the translation hinders what you have to do next. If you like reading from Gamefaqs a lot, by all means play it.
Chrono Cross - Hardly a sequel to Chrono Trigger.
Dynasty Warriors series - You don't even need to turn on your PS2 for this experience. Just hit a button rapidly and you'll get the experience. If you really want to play a Dynasty Warriors game, just play one. They're all the same.
Final Fantasy VII - Don't listen to the fanatics... this game hasn't aged well. But, it is a pretty important part of gaming history, so play it with expectations in check. Or just get Final Fantasy VI (Released as Final Fantasy III in the US for Super NES).
Hitman - Not sure you need to play all of these. I'd probably stick with the third game.
Jet Set Radio Future - Stick with Jet Grind Radio. It's the better game.
Max Payne - Never played the sequel, but stay away from the first game. It's utter shit.
Mega Man Battle Network - Really? Play Mega Man 2 instead.
NiGHTS - This game was fun... in 1996. There are many other 3D platformers that have aged better... like Bubsy 3D
Ratchet & Clank series - Not too familiar with this series as I am with other games on this list, but I think if you played one, you played them all. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 - The first game is decent, the second game is unwiped butt.
Star Fox Adventures - An alternative to playing this game: throw a bunch of change in your backyard and try to find it all. At least you'll get fresh air.
Street Fighter Series - SF 2 Turbo, SF Alpha 2, and SF 3 Third Strike are the only ones you need to worry about.
Yoshi's Story - NO! BAD! THAT'S VERY BAD! We do that outside!
If there's one game on that list that is required playing, it's Super Mario Bros. How you have made it this far in life without playing it is a mystery.
And I want to make a clarification: if I put down series, that pretty much means that I just don't know which titles in that series are good so I just generalized it. I probably intend to just play one so that I get the idea.
And again, I know some of these suck but I just need/want to experience them.
this is a card game, but (for me) is much funny than yu gi oh!
And do you really need to experience this?
Ratchet and Clank's gameplay is formulaic, yes, and with that in mind all of the games are pretty much more of the same, but that's perfectly ok because they're honest to goodness FUN. The game is cartoony and never takes itself too seriously, and it's never dull finding new ways to blow up baddies. You can probably find the first game dirt cheap nowadays, I highly recommend you do.
It got stupid after the first three, but it was really good while it lasted. I like playing RPGs with enjoyable combat rather than that usual turn-based crap that's been going on for years. I actually didn't mind the random battles in MMBN as much as I do in most games, because the combat was actually fun.
I'll suggest more games for your list when I'm not so tired. -_-
Each one is about 10 to 15 hours long I guess.
So these suck. Pass.

I should have taken half of those off of there so that no one would see them. >_> I'm surprised that I didn't get yelled at about Hamsterz 2.
No one disses my mutherfuckin' hamsters!
Phoenix Wright series
Play that now, especially since the series is so cheap and the new one is coming in a few weeks. It's so addicting, the dialogue is hilarious, the characters are well developed, and it's just fun and simple. I guarantee you will like it :)
And also, I'm not too worried about older games since I can NOT emulate them on my PSP. <_<
I'm just more or less seeing if there are any musts that I have missed and to try to figure out what exactly I should be spending my (very little) money on.
Thank you everyone for your help. It was.... helpful.
And I see Silent Hill 2 in there, but I am going to go ahead and suggest the entire series.
I'm in love with Catz 2. We're dorks.
I've read so many ignorant opinions on this post I can barely fathom it all.
Someone calling Half Life overrated has got to take the cake.
I think someone even said FF7 sucks?
Sigh.
Don't dare listen to that stormtrooper head man either.
His list of games which suck could barely be more wrong.
Chu Chu Rocket is a classic.
So is Ape Escape.
Chrono Cross has one of the best soundtracks and atmosphere of any RPG.
Elebits is fun.
The entire Monkey Island series is universally hailed (except by noobs) as one of the greatest of all time.
NiGHTS is completely amazing. Assuming you have a Saturn?
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 are mildly entertaining and deserve to be played.
Taiko Drum Master, obviously sweet.
Well I'm done.
The destructoid community can be one of the lamest and most inaccurate in the galaxy.
Listen to the Colossi.
We preach nuthin' but truth.
GOTCHA'!
