Listen to the people recommending the Zone of the Enders games. They're great. I'd also suggest picking up Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. It's still pretty good, it's very cheap, and its story takes place before every other Castlevania.
The original Star ocean was for PS1 I think. I had "Star Ocean: Til the End of Time" Also, I had "Arc the LAd: Twilight of the Spirit" Not sure if that is a sequal to a game that is on the PS1 or not.
Yep, Persona 3 has definitely been suggested to me a couple of times. I'm a bit more interested in playing Persona 4 though. Although I guess I should check out the Persona series in general. From what I hear they make have really good stories and characters and tackle really complex issues that are rarely seen in games and I find that very interesting.

The original Star Ocean was a Super Famicom Japanese-only game. The second one was on PS1 under Star Ocean: The Second Story. Followed by Star Ocean: Til the End of Time on PS2, and Star Ocean: The Last Hope on 360/PS3. Star Oceans 1 and 2 were also remade for PSP in the last couple of years, and released Stateside as First Departure and Second Evolution, respectively.
As a Star Ocean fan, I can't in good conscience recommend Til the End of Time. The combat system is just dreadful and unresponsive. I got about 3 hours into it when I decided "No, I can't take this anymore."
You want a great Star Ocean experience? Grab First Departure and Second Evolution.
You've gotta be careful when dealing with the PS2. It had some great games, but it had a whooooooole bunch of stinkers.
I know a LOT of people had a problem with it, but I think if you removed Vaan and Penelo from Final Fantasy XII you would be left with one of the best games of the franchise.
Shadow of the Colossus and ICO should be givens. Get those two immediately and play them before you allow yourself to sleep again.
And, of course, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. 3D platforming perfection.
Personally I think the best game on the PS2 is probably Resident Evil 4. It's just the right amount of crazy action and silly zombie fun.
Persona 4 is a good choice but I'd reccomend Persona 3 FES as well

Hmmm... Lots of suggests. I'm just going to focus on some of them. Digital Devil Sage. Interesting. May look into that more. I'm not sure I want to get into a whole bunch of big game series though atm. I did play Dark Cloud 2, wasn't really a fan of that game. Surprising since I liked the first one. Godhand is one I wanted to look into. Got all the Fatal Frame games. Got Jak and Dexter, none of the other Jak games though. Final Fantasy X-2.... huh. I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you there sir. I did play that game and lets just say my time with it wasn't all that joyous. Haunting Ground, I'd like to get more input on that. Timesplitters, i've actually never played a Timesplitter game. Do they have a good campaign? Silent Hill 3/Viewtiful Joe both games I wanted to look into. Seem to be getting a lot of suggestions for Zone of Enders...
A amazing game think like a more in depth and focused pokemon game where you use your spare dvd's,cd's and ps2 games to create a unique monster which you then raise and battle. While also deciding it's fitness and food level; simply think princess maker with monsters in a round about way.

Regarding X2
As I said it's a marmite game you tend to love it or hate it, very few merely like or dislike it.
As for the others:
Jak 2 is generally considered the best but the hardest, 3 is probably the worst of the main series but still quite good can't vouch for the spin offs.
Haunting Ground
Not the scariest horror game out there but it does have it's moments,
I don't know how much you know about it so:
You are basically a defenceless young woman trapped in a castle trying to escape.
Your Primary "weapon" is a white alsatian named Hewie that you befriend early on,
However you can't kill your enemies of which there are only one per level, you have to escape from and evade them while looking for keys and the way out.
There's also a few puzzles.
If it interests you I'd definitely give it a try.
Timsplitters
Future Perfect Has a pretty good campaign which can be played split screen with a fair bit of comedy during the story plus plenty of bizarre yet entertaining single player challenges (monkey curling for example)
The multiplayer is awesome however, with a large variety of modes and many optional rules(my favorite being 16 way free for all one hit kill brick only shrink match) and you can play it single player if you want it has bots.
As for 1 & 2 I don't personally know, I've only played FP the other two are owned by a mate.
ZoE
and so you should be, It's pretty damn good if you like that sort of thing.
EDIT: ooh I forgot about it up there but if you'd be willing to dip in to the PS1 library for a bit:
Legacy of Kainin order)
Blood Omen(PS1)
Soul Reaver(PS1)
Soul Reaver 2(PS2)
Blood Omen 2(Alternate timline, PS2)
Defiance(PS2)
Brilliant Games
Amazing (if convoluted story lines)
and tuly Phenominal Voice acting I mean
The only promlem is that he last game got cancelled so there's no real ending :'(
I'd also like to rerecomend Primal not enough people played it when it came out.
Timesplitters: I'm not a huge multiplayer guy in general. But the thing about multiplayer on the PS2 is it's all but completely useless to me. I mean I have 3 controllers but 2 of them are fucked up and it's not impossible but it's very difficult to play with them, unless someone wants to play with a guitar hero controller. Also, my PS2 currently resides at my grandma's house, which I don't have people over at very often.
I may check out Haunting Grounds, I really do like survival horror games.
