Naming a few to avoid repeating previous excellent titles already listed.
Early batch/oh PS2!:
. Klonoa 2
. State of Emergency
. XIII
. Zettai Zetsumei Toshi (aka "Disasterous Report, Run!!!" in NA and "SOS! HELP! This is my last chance to escape!!" in PAL territories)

Late releases/juicin the hardware:
. Bumpy Trot (aka "Steambot Chronicles" very good localization)
. Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 2 (aka "GrrrRaw Dangerrr!" overseas)

Struggled a wee bit as finding it hard to even remember what PS2 games I had now

I grouped the Shenmué and Sonic Rivals games otherwise there would have been less space for other franchises lol. The grouped games always felt like a set to me, anyway

1) Shenmué 1&2
2) Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess
3) Outrun 2006
4) GTA : Vice City Stories
5) The first Dissidia on the OG PSP
6) Sonic Rivals 1&2
7) Soul Calibur 2
8) SEGA Superstars Eyetoy
9) Chu Chu Rocket
10) Sonic Gems Collection

Special mention to Singstar (80s, Disney etc). And Shadow the Hedgehog hehe
