From my collection, I'd recommend:

-Killer 7 <-- This one is a freaking must. It's like they grabbed Quentin Tarantino, ground him to fine powder, then the guys at Grasshopper sniffed it all in one go and made the game while under influence. FREAKING. AWESOME.

-Star Ocean Till The End Of Time
-Disgaea 1&2
-Devil May Cry 3
-Final Fantasy X
-Katamari Damacy
-Tales of the Abyss

The Time Splitters series. Me and my brother played through all of those, unlocked all the extras and completed on the hardest level (except for one that was just impossible on the last level). Then we played a ton of split screen multiplayer.

I loved GTA Vice City, San Andreas was good too.

Psychonaughts I played on PC not PS2, it's excellent.

Racing games. Burnout series and Colin McRae Rally.

SSX 3 and Tricky were good fun as were a few of the Tony Hawks series.

Global Defence Force is an under rated game, poor graphics but you do get to level cities while battling giant ants, spiders, flying saucers and various B movie monsters. Best enjoyed with a friend, probably hard to get hold of.

Sorry for not naming which in a series is best, it's been a years since I played a lot of them.

Try to nab a copy of Final Fantasy 7, its PS1 so it may be hard to find an in store copy, buy ebay should have some up for auction.

Burnout Revenge or Takedown are also awesome racing games if you like spectacular crashes.

Try to ignore anyone saying games that were great once but have been usurped by its respective next gen iteration, its not really worth the money if there is a new better installment of the genre... i'm saying this because you shouldn't waste your money when there is a game only one person has mentioned thus far that you HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.

Right, games with no next gen equals which are "must have" purchases for any self respecting PS2 fan.
Okami
Shadow of Collosus
Killer 7

Next up the one game you must own and EXPERIENCE;

GOD HAND

Thank you PurpleStuff, an exquisite choice.


That game will destroy your will and your hands for several goes, then you'll understand the fighting mechanics a little better and you'll destroy it... and then it'll get even fucking harder.

But you have a "spanking" special move and the world feels right again, also there's a move thats fucking difficult to pull off because of the required criteria is obnoxious where Gene points his hand like a gun and shouts "bang HAAHAA!" which kills all your enemies on screen.

Did I mention there's no block button?, yeah its hard, but its so much fun.

Kung Fu Samba for the win.

-Persona 3 & 4
-Zone of the Enders
-Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner
-Killer7
-Shadow of the Colossus
-Primal

Some of my favourite games are on that list, i'm sure i could think of more if i put my mind to it.
Funny enough the guy that sold me my PS2 Slim forgot the controllers, so he brought *Them* Personally and not long left, He brought 4 games as a sorry and Primal was one of them xD

what made me feel sorry for the dude is, he has poor driving skills and on the road down to us he hit a tree and smashed his mirror for his Nissan Primara, and the controllers... well 1 was right the other was a PS3 SixAxis LOL. I'll leave it though im happy enough with the 4 bonus games and i got 1 of the 2 controllers, not to mention im sticking with my Logitech Action wireless anyways... Hrm maybe I should Ebay the SixAxis.

So ya about to try Primal now!

If you like creativity, hilarious writing and fun in general, get Psychonauts. If you don't, get it anyways.

Wasn't Dredd vs Death the one where you could arrest people for silly things like owning a goldfish without a license?

Sly Cooper and SSX Tricky

Also, while a lot of people are recomending Shadow of the Colosus (and I would too) do know, that while it is a brilliant and unique game, the fact that it is so differant has turned off a lot of players. It has become the default "buy this game" for the PS2, but I know a lot of people who hated it. Don't let it get built up too much before you play it. It is a lot of fun, but it will not change the world for you. :)

I found SSX 3 to be waaaaay better than Tricky but thats just my opinion
