Take into consideration I don't have any experiences with PS2 FPS titles. Also take into account I have played most of the major games.

How is James Bond NightFire?

Also, how is Maximo Ghosts to Glory?

I've heard Shadow of Rome is a really underrated game.

Night fire has some great multiplayer and even the bots are alright to fight

Sort of the golden age for 3D platformer/action games. Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper. All grand.

Peak of survival horror with Silent Hill 2 and 3 (though don't play 3 if you haven't played 1).

Always wanted to play Maximo, but never did.

Shadow of the Colossus is a classic.

Then there's the well known blockbusters like Metal Gear Solid, God of War and Grand Theft Auto.

You gotta pay coins to save in the first one. I love it. The 2nd one took that away and I was sad

The Jet Li: Rise to Honor game was pretty fun, uses R stick to hit stuff

Fatal Frame is fantastic too if you can find it

Extermination was also a pretty fun horror game

I recommend all of them for horror fans.

So I purchased Ico/SOTC collection for the PS3, Maximo Ghosts to Glory on the PS2.

They're still being shipped but I can't wait to try them.

I never played Ico on the PS2 but I've only heard good things!

And Maximo looks like a PS2 Dark Souls kind of game. YUMMY.

Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis

Literally didn't know anything about it when I got it and it ended up having my favorite battle system in a turn-based JRPG. I also liked how it was more slice of life and character driven instead of the usual saving the world shenanigans. It's just a really fun and really chill game.

It's sort of a Gran Turismo-wannabe, but has enough identity and original ideas to feel unique. Is it worth owning, though? Definitely!
