I know it's stickied and hasn't been updated in a while, but I never pass up PS2 talk.
It's sad that Lockstar91 hasn't been seen since 2016, but I still have games I want to throw into the pile.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King - Class act all the way.
Resident Evil 4 - Great port of a next-gen game.
Silent Hill 2 - Thought-provoking story and presentation.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Kojima and team in top form.
Persona 3 FES - Arguably the best way to play this classic.
Grand Theft Auto III - Great design and gameplay.
Devil May Cry - One of Hideki Kamiya's best. Great graphics and gameplay.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - Fun game with good pacing.
Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - Possibly Naughty Dog's best.
Dark Cloud 2 - Great randomly-generated dungeon crawler.
Those are my votes.
