You should have found a 60 gig PS3 on Ebay instead, then you could play the new games, and the old.

Um...the opening post said he bought the PS2 cuz it was CHEAP. 60GB PS3 = Not cheap. At all. By any stretch of the imagination. Especially on ebay.

Edit: As far as games go, I think it's all about what you like. Gamespot, no matter what you think of their reviews, are really good about suggesting games similar to those you already enjoy.

Psychonauts (Though I found the PS2 port buggy, so my recommendation is to proceed with caution.)
Shadow Hearts 1 and 2
Shin Megami Tensei; Nocturne
Shin Megami Tensei; Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2
Okami
Silent Hill 2 and 3
Beyond Good and Evil
Killer 7
Prince of Persia trilogy

Shadow of Destiny
Dark Cloud 2

 

[Cinder Block of Oppression]

The original Bully will always have a special place in my heart.

Other then that, the Katamari games, and if you like them, the PS2 controller was the best for Tony Hawk games.

As already said, if you look into any of these, check they're not out on the PC first. Generally, the PC versions will be better - the GTA series, for example. Plus, mods.

Or, not. The PC can only claim to be better for a few specific genres, most, if not all of these titles do not fall under those. Besides, a large portion aren't on the PC.

That's why I said 'generally'.
