I bought a slimline off a mate yesterday for a tenner after wanting to go back for some relative nostalgic gaming.

Last time I had a PS2 was around 2003, and I've not owned a Sony console since so I've no idea what's good and what's not (without using Metacritic etc), so wondered what YOUR favorite games for the platform are...
 
Well, My favourite series of PS2 games ever, to the displeasure of critics everywhere are the Dynasty Warriors games, especially number 3, Coupled with perhaps Dynasty Tactics 2, spent many an hour playing trough those.

Warriors is full on hack n slash goodness, Tactics however, Well is like most games that seem to have tactics in the name, Has 2 main areas of the game, The campaign map so to speak where you just move your armies through and progress the story and the battles, which are on large grid like things, Usually end up trying to out manouver your enemy and get into positions where you can set off rather large chain reactions and win without worrying at all.

And some great RPGs I enjoyed playing were, Dragon Quest VIII, Star Ocean 3 and the .Hack quadrilodgy.
 
extreme g3 racing is pretty "fun" not the best of games but good for a laugh...

you cant really beat san andreas for enjoyment, things to do etc...
 
PS2 has such a huge variety of nice collection unlike PS3 that it is difficult to recommend so many good games but I would say

Tekken5
Metal gear solid 3
GTA San Andreas
DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (huge fun)
Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks
 
All these are must buys in my opinion.

Code:
Grand Theft Auto 3
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City 
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec 
Gran Turismo 4
Kingdom Hearts 2
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Onimusha 2
Resident Evil 4 
Resident Evil Code: Veronica X
Tekken Tag Tournament
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
 
Another vote for SSX as well as -

GT4
Devil May Cry
Burnout - can't remember the complete name, last one for the PS2
Metal Gear Solid - Sons of Liberty
Tony Hawks Skate boarding was a bit of fun at the time.
