Welcome to the year 2000, I love you.
randombullseye's Destructoid Blog
I'm borrowing one of my lady. Persona 3, Persona 4, Onimusha games here I come!

Not to mention God of War 2
Ragewaar's Destructoid Blog
Persona! That was the other one! I remember reading about P4 here and thinking it looked pretty good, long time till it comes out in the UK though apparently.

Hmm never even glanced at a God of War game before, might take a look.
Justin Smith's Destructoid Blog
Persona 3 FES
Persona 4
SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS
Okami
Devil May Cry If you're into it.
SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS again.

Oh... and did I mention SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS?
Zombutler's Destructoid Blog
I would recommend Shadow the Hedgehog
Scrixx's Destructoid Blog
Persona 3 FES and Persona 4.
Muddy Waterz's Destructoid Blog

@ Justin
Hmm I played SOTC at a friends for 5 mins but I never gave it a second look after that (I rode around for 5 mins) perhaps I should give it a proper go.

I'm definitely going to buy P3FES, it should bide my time till 4 comes out.

@Muddy Waterz
Got one, only problem is Sony removed the BC before i got mine. Probably because they are BASTARDS.
ThunderHeartXI's Destructoid Blog
Beyond Good & Evil, Sly Cooper games, Okami, ICO (if you can even find a copy of it), and Shadow of the Colossus are games I think you should place at the top of your list. Maybe Final Fantasy X if you don't mind the absolutely ridiculous, and rather embarrassing, characters.
Trev's Destructoid Blog
Zone of the Enders & ZOE2
Godhand
Everything Ratchet & Clank
Shadow of the Colossus
God of War & GOW2
Devil May Cry

maybe Shinobi, but it's been years since I played that one and I don't remember if it was awesome or just good. Still on my shelf, at least.
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
You know what game you should buy first?

The Forums

I hear they give out free copies in the forums.
ZServ's Destructoid Blog
Wow, 8 years late.
manasteel88's Destructoid Blog
Final Fantasy X was way better in my opinion than XII

any of the NiS stuff except for Phantom Brave which has a small potentially game ending glitch that takes away the recommendation. Although its still a pretty good game.
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
God of War 1&2 (Epic story, gameplay, enemies, vistas)
Shadow Of The Colossus. (Epic battles, enemies)
Okami (It's a great action RPG, >BUT< it's super long)
Final Fantasy X (Nothing ground breaking, good old FF)
Multiplat.
Metal Gear Solid 2 (difficult story, fun gameplay)
GTA SanAndreas (Huge)
GTA Vice City (my personal favorite GTA, story is really good.)
Silent Hill 2 (Best SH evar)
Ryee's Destructoid Blog
I never owned one, but now that I have a PlayStation 3, I just play lots of great PS2 RPGs on that.

Actually, since I got a PS3, I have bought more PS2 games for that than PS3 games.

Shadow of the Colossus.
Persona 3 and 4.
Kingdom Hearts 1 2
garganroo's Destructoid Blog

Okami is the best one.
Namakubi's Destructoid Blog
Everybody's made great suggestions, but here's two nobody has mentioned yet:

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory

Maximo Vs. the Army of Zin

Both really great when your in the mood for platforming hack n' slash action, and cheap to boot. You can get both for under $10.

Blood Will Tell: Osamu Tezuka's Dororo

Really weird (but awesome) samurai action game. Recommended.
nebones's Destructoid Blog

 about me

My names Joe, I'm 21 and From Manchester UK. Long time reader of Destructoid and lover of Podcastle. I'm an IT administrator, and build custom PC's to order.

Consoles owned:

NES / SNES / EVERY GameBoy / N64 / Wii
Gamegear / Dreamcast / Megadrive / Master System
PSX / PS2 / PSP Phat CFW / PSP Slim / PS3
XBOX / X360
GP2X

And of course my trusty PC. (Core2Quad @ 3.4Ghz, 8GB Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz, 3 x MSI 9800GTX)

First console i got was my NES when i was 5 (which i dismantled within an hour of getting, luckily it still worked) with an amazing 350-in-1 game cart from Japan that had all the best NES games on ( Got it from a japanese woman, not sure of its legality) looks like it could be quite rare now...

I currently have the Dreamcast, PS3, X360 and n64 plugged into my TV, and I'm currently playing skies of arcadia for the dreamcast.
