BF2 should have come up sooner people! I'll toss in The Bard's Tale and the Dark Alliance games, I loved playing them. For racing games Midnight Club 3 was fun. I almost forgot Ace Combat 5, I'm such a horrid person.Lord Kloo said:

i completely forgot about that marvelous game called shadow of the Colossus, and i put jak and daxter first because they are number one. ratchet and clank is also number one, but i played jak first.Icyheart said:
Might I recommend Katamari Damacy: a silly Japanese game that defies attempts to insert into a genre, has simple and intuitive controls, has cute stylistic visuals, and possesses a soundtrack that you will never, ever, ever, EVER get out of your head. And you will love it for it.
Beyond Good And Evil, a game in which you save a planet of animal people from a conspiracy Involving mutant humans in armor and fish-like aliens. (better than it sounds)
Deus Ex: The Conspiracy is also a fun conspiracy-fighting game that provides the best videogame RPG upgrading system I've seen to date, and plenty of text logs to read if you're into that. Shamefully lacking in the animal people department, though.
If you're into horror games, Silent Hill 2 is apparently the best game in the genre, and the only one I've ever taken the time to play. Wouldn't recommend playing it without having a GameFAQs guide on hand, but even with one it provided a good story and a tense, scary atmosphere that didn't need to fall back on the "eight or so dudes go into a place and all but one dies horribly" plot of most horror movies.
Spider-Man 2 got great reviews for a fun web-sligning mechanic that really made the best use of open-world sandbox gameplay, even if the rest of the game was OK to mediocre.
A word of warning, though: Don't bother with final fantasy. I borrowed FFX (final fantasy ten) from a friend, and it remains the only game that I can't bring myself to finish. It's not horrible, but it's unintuitive and combat got boring after a while.

That's right. Shadow Hearts 3 does not exist. It is an ungame. We love Big Brother. But, seriously, the game was bad, so should all forget it's existence, like a lot of threes out there ( Empire Earth III, Master of Orion III, Thief III/Deadly Shadows, and at a stretch, Age of Empires III and God of War III). Three seems to be a cursed number, the point where series go to die, either being bad then or reaching the point that the one's that follow are bad. You can tell which ones survived the curse by seeing which III's were good and, if applicable, had good sequels.Tin Man said:

Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank series are must haves.
Final Fantasy 12. Gets a lot of criticism about the story and characters but in terms of gameplay it's my favourite FF. A huge map to explore with enemies moving around it in real time so no random encounters. The exploration and ability to move around freely, combined with the ATB battle system is awesome.
Rogue Galaxy. Really good RPG about space pirates. What's not to like?

Well Shadow of the Colossus immediately comes to mind. As does the Sly Cooper games, Ratchet and Clank games, Kingdom Hearts games, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, God of War 1 and 2...
The list just goes on and on.

Thanks, people! A lot of interesting suggestions here...
Though I have to say I was surprised by Ratchet and Clank being so popular!
Right now I feel like platforming, and I remember my friend playing Jak and Daxter(or was it Dexter?) back in the day, so I suppose I'll go with that for now.
And Shadow Hearts + Timesplitters sound interesting as I have never heard of them before.

Zone of the Enders: the Second Runner.
It's one of the best action games ever made, and also one of the best games to feature giant robots. It has great visuals, fun, fast-paced combat and spectacular bosses.
Just pretend the first game doesn't exist.
Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts 2 are probably the best RPGs on the system if that's what you're looking for.
