Oh ya, they are broken.
I'm not really the person to ask for this. I do own God of War II, but I haven't even started playing it yet. Persona 4 is taking up all my time at the moment.
I just got a PS3 in the summer time, and so far I have bought 4 PS3 games for it, and 8 games for the PS2 inside it :) If you are interested in getting the Metal Gear Solid games, I suggest the Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection. It's a great deal, I found one for $40.
Devil May cry 3?
Black? a short, but well made FPS. Probably you're better renting that one.
Yakusa 2?
Ace combat 4, 5 and zero were pretty good.
Then you have GTAs, Silent hill 2-3-4, ICO, Fatal Frame(like silent hill), many dynasty warriors, and one improved half life that people fail to mention. I can't think of anything else, i'm shooting in the dark here.
Thank me later.
Really, there are so many great games, I don't know where to start. For an obscure and overlooked gem, try Alter Echo.
Did you just step out of a Delorean?!
ICO
Tekken 5 and about 1,000 2D fighters available now if you like fighters.
Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven is the best Tenchu game yet, if you like that sort of thing.
Silent Hill 3 definitely if you like the horrors.
Also... I can't forget about Way of the Samurai. This game can't be very expensive at all by now and it was so unique. Such a cool game.
Other than that, just try some shit that looks good to you, the games are pretty inexpensive now.
1) God of War
2) God of War 2
3) Metal Gear Solid 3
The Dragon has spoken!
Back to the list of PS2 games:
Comedy- The Katamari games
Spy Thriller- Metal Gear Solid 3
Beat Them Up- God Hand
Turn based Strategy- Disedea (or however you spell it)
2D Platformer- Mega Man X8
SotC prequel- Ico
Jean Reno Samurai Adventure- Onimusha 3
Creepiest of the creepy: Rule of Rose
And that's all I can think of right now. There are tons of other quirky titles like Under the Skin and Chulip that I want to recommend, but can't unless I knew you better.
MGS3 is tough to control if you're not used to the series, but I will say it has the best gameplay, story presentation, actual story, and challenge.
(I recommend getting the box set for all 3 games)
DMC3 is the pinnacle of action game perfection, though unforgiving on harder difficulties.
(I recommend getting the box set for DMC1 and DMC3:SE)
God of War games are also entertaining action titles, though they're not as refined as DMC3.
Ico is a no-brainer.
Okami is, without a doubt, an amazing platformer - much better than Twilight Princess.
GTA3, Vice City, SA are still fun, with SA giving you the most options in terms of what to do around the ~15 square miles in game.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X is a blast, and the last true RE game in terms of survival horror.
Silent Hill is a great series in the horror genre as well.
(I'm not personally familiar with the Fatal Frame games, but I've heard good things.)
God of War 1 and 2
Okami
Dragon Quest VIII: Let me put it to you this way. When I was in college, there were five copies of this game lying about in the apartment I shared (One for each of the roommates and one from another guy who would crash often and leave it there on accident.) This was when it first came out. We were so afraid that the other would take their copy home and leave us Dragon Quest-less that this approach was merely necessity. We were also probably batshit crazy. But yes, it is a fine RPG with many hours for the price now ($9.99!)
I just beat Persona 3, and I recommend that highly as well.
Other things off the top of my head I rather enjoyed:
The MGS Box Set, King of Fighters 2006, Suikoden III and V.
Since you're into anime, there are a few niche games that may be interesting to you. There's a Samurai Champloo game called "SC: Sidetracked" or something, but I don't know if it's any good or not. Naruto stuff is all over, there are DBZ fighting games (Budokai 3 is the best of them), Gundam games like Zeonic Front (squad-based robot combat), and a bunch of other stuff that I'm forgetting.
