I'm thinking of getting a Playstation 2 to keep me entertained while waiting for Wii to get some decent games. So can anyone recomend some games to get, especially interested in RPG.

I'm sure there already been a thread like this but with no search facility it pain to search each page.
 
Definitely Shadow of the Colossus.

Which leads me to another question - can you get a PS2 pad to work with the PS3? It would be weird playing SotC without rumble.

Some people claim they can, but when I tried I couldn't :(

I've got a Logic3 PS2 -> PS3 Connector, works a treat, me and my nephew were playing split screen Vegas using it last night.

I have a PS Style Logitech pad which I use on the PC - works without any problems when plugging into a USB port on the PS3. Rumble n all ;)

Sorry OT again, wonder if a USB 360 Pad would work on the PS3, might have to give it a try...
 
Theres to many great games on the PS2 to list but all those mentioned so far , some may be a bit hard to find may have to go 2nd hand, but also try
Okami
Kingdom hearts 1 (2 not as good)
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
GTA series (if you never played them)
 
GTA series
Metal Gear 2 and 3
Final Fantasy 10 and 12
God of War 1 and 2
SOTC
ICO
Okami

Basically what everyone else has said, there are plenty of other great games for the PS2 but these are my favourites :)
 
Another vote for God of war 2 and Shadow of the colossus. Last two games i picked up, and have loved every minute of them. Currently playing through SotC again to get all the extra items.

Only gripe with god of war 2 is that when you complete it you can play through again with all the added stuff you got, but only on the exact same difficulty setting, which i find a bit pointless, i managed to complete that difficulty without the better weapons, so makes it way too easy with them. But besides that it is a fantastic game.
