You're 10 years late :(
Get all the Ratchet and Clank games, Metal Gear Solid 2/3 and Soul Calibur 3.

If you have friends, get something from the Burnout series, and Star Wars Battlefront 2. The graphics are a bit dated, but they're still great fun with other people.

You should probably start tallying these games up and choose the most-often-suggested ones.

God of War 1 and 2 and Stars Wars Battlefront 1 and 2. Gore and lore. Can't go wrong there.

If you need a good racer, the PS2 version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted is the best. If you can get your hands on the Black Edition, get it.

Also BLACK. One of the best FPSs out there. STILL WAITING ON AN HD REMAKE.

I know I am.

But when the PS2 was a new and innocent little child, I was a ragingly committed Nintendo fanboy so I never gave it the time of day. Luckily now I have seen the error of my ways and, being given a free Playstation 2, I decided that fuck it, I might as well embrace my new possession and use it to bury myself in the gems of its epicly immense game catalogue.

It's on the Xbox Games on Demand store, if you have an XBox. That's probably the closest you'll get.
I've already got it, but I want a true 1080p remake.

Sounds like a high tech computer and some kind of niche watercraft.

Well, since you put it that way. I forgive you, now run, play those wonderful games that you've missed out on!

...but don't really know of any kick-ass games for it. I know of a few, which I'm planning on getting as soon as humanly possible.

But I'm genuinely very uneducated about the truly great titles of this console, so can anyone recommend any?

I feel I should point out for the sake of me not getting swamped to death with suggestions for them, I'm already planning on getting Ico, Shadow of the Collosus and Silent Hill 2.
FFX if you are starved for a cheap laugh. I liked the game, but damn, only one twist was a shock.
It was also reeeeealllly stupid at times.

Congratulations on buying the finest console that ever has been or will be made. Might I suggest Syphon Filter: Omega Strain? Easily the best overall of the entire. series, IMO

Ratchet and clank: up your arsenal
Champions of Norath (get a multitap)
Champions: return to arms

the Champion's games are very similar to baldur's gate but in the everquest realm with more races/classes a way better inventory system 4 player co-op(i believe dark alliance has this also but I know the xbox version of the first baldur's gate does not)
sly cooper(And the thievious nocturnes?)
Sly 2:Band of thieves
Sly 3: honor among thieve's
metal gear solid collection(there is a collection edition with the first 3)
splinter cell(if you like stealth but is kinda tough)
sonic mega collection(the good sonic games
dark cloud
dark cloud 2(way better then first one)

there may be more but i can not think of any more right now besides

Hitman(is it for ps2?)

EDIT: fixed typos

If you liked Final Fantasy VII, then I recommend Dirge of Cerberus. Great follow up that takes a Devil May Cry approach to action, with rpg elements.

The Dragonball Z Budokai and Tenkaichi Budokai games are good fun too, though I'm a bit of a biased person to recommend those in all honesty. If you like Dragonball, and you like fighting games, try them. Budokai 3 and Tenkaichi 3 I most definitely recommend.

The Kingdom Hearts games are must plays. The juxtaposition of Square-Enix characters/environments in a slightly angsty narrative, combined with the happy feel good (and yet still dramatic) Disney worlds, along with a good solid action RPG battle system, make for an extremely epic experience.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is an absolute must. As much as I love Sons of Liberty, it doesn't even compare to Snake Eater. I wont spoil the story for you, but in regards to gameplay the camouflage system really adds to the stealth gameplay, just try it!

If you see SEGA Classics Collection about then it's worth getting. It includes fun remakes of Golden Axe, Outrun, Space Harrier, Virtua Racing, and more, all with enhanced graphics. Worth a play.

No Playstation library is complete without a Wipeout game. Wipeout Fusion... get it.

I'll leave a list of some more, can't elaborate without going overboard on the length of the post.

Timesplitters trilogy, Tekken Tag/4/5, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Gitaroo Man, Jak trilogy, Devil May Cry, Soul Calibur II/III, Zone of the Enders 1/2, WWE Crush Hour, Gran Turismo 4.

a better question would have been which games to avoid. ps2 had a fuckin awesome lineup of great games

Persona 3: FES, Persona 4, .hack//Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine (A 4-part series. But good like finding any of the .hacks at all.) God of War. And if you want some good multiplayer, Arcana Heart. Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon.
