Shadow of the Colossus and ICO are definitely awesome, I should have remembered them; they didn't sell very well though. MGS 2 and 3 seems to have mixed praise, but I haven't played either of them, save for a demo of 3 which just looked like MGS in a forest. Katamari I already mentioned and it was popular for a while. But the RTS games DJ mentioned never make the top 10 on any console, save Pikmin, though Spore may change that. And please correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe none of the above games are million sellers.
If you count up all the games for PS2 mentioned here, you end up with about 15 to 20 games that are must haves (unless you dont enjoy every genre), but there has to be more. You dont become number one with just 15-20 solid titles. Hell GC has over 50 first and second party must-haves and that's not counting any third party stuff. And if you add all the Mario Party games you end up with like 10,000 so that's not really fair. I can probably come up with a list of 50 pretty easy for PSX (we might have that now in this thread) but PS2 maxes out at around 15 to 20 titles?
Of course, there's GTA, and all the other free-roam clones. I enjoyed GUN while it lasted just for its western themes though it was still GTA on a horse, but I cant stand GTA style games. Which actually might be the reason PS2 did so well.
