Well shit george, if you haven't played PS1 games and are getting a PS2, you should start with MGS1 instead of 3 =/
A far more enjoyable game I might add. People have pretty much recommended most of the playworthy titles and I'd hate to second recommendations. From PS1 titles, you should look into Grandia (the first one, not 2) and possibly Vagrant Story if you ever get a craving for action-RPGs. The Metal Slug games on PS1 are pretty terrible, and I think it's a crime they haven't released arcade perfect PS2 ports of the first two titles  Metal Slug 3 is definitely the one to go with, it's considered the best in the series by many and for good reasons (even though I personally liked the first game cause there were no aliens). Both Katamari Damacy titles are extremely funny and relatively inexpensive cause of their cheaper retail price (though I'm not sure if they've become collector's items over there). The music is excellent too. Genji is wonderful if you liked games like Onimusha. It's a similar third person hack n slash, with RPG elements and an emphasis on beautiful visuals and flash. If you dig electronica, Rez and Frequency are the best music games money can buy. Though if I understood correctly, Rez has become somewhat rare, but if you run into it, it's a brilliant Panzer Dragoon style shooter with a brilliant soundtrack and a brilliantly designed sound system that alters and evolves depending on how you play the levels. EDIT: And why the heck if FFVIII on the list but not FFVII? =/ Russ recommended both =o Jam it back in, in the dark.

As for FFVII, well it was engaging enough for me during Midgar already, but yes, it does get better once you get out into the world. Although I'm not quite sure how it plays on the PC, I've generally tried to stay away from Square's PC ports as they've not been that great. Most amazing jew boots |

I am having trouble getting into FF7 but I hear it gets better after you get out of the city.
