I just got a ps2 again after all these years, and I need some recommendations. I've got Call of Duty: Big Red One, God of War, Black, Metal Gear Solid 3, Future Tactics, and I'm going to get Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel soon, but I'd like some more ideas. I like challenging games with good stories and mature (aka not angst ridden bishounen pretty boys, or generic and ugly sex symbols) main characters. I'm also into RTT/RTS/TBS games, mech sims, some JRPGs (I like ones like Neptunia, and the first Final Fantasy) and I'm okay with slow-paced gameplay. Got anything?

I imagine it could be rather difficult to find some particular PS2 games, but I can think of things back that I might be able to recommend. For an RTS there is Alien vs Predator: Extinction, which I think is a particularly fun RTS, the most fun being when you can control a growing hoard of xenomorph. If you have not done or got them already, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are maybe worth a play. Star Wars Battlefront II is pretty fun, mostly a 3rd person shooter, but its galaxy mode has a pretty cool turn based aspect, it has been a PS2 game I have player more recently.

Half Life and Red Faction are both excellent FPS games on PS2.

Medal Of Honor: Frontline is very challenging on the higher difficulty levels, but it's very annoying and frustrating that one cannot save within a level.

Not sure whether you meant games exclusive to the PS2. Pretty sure all of the above are available on other platforms.

Deus Ex is a very involving and ambitious game, but there's probably too much going on - my biggest problem with it was constantly having to mess around in the inventory to select and deselect stuff: detracts from the spontaneity somewhat. I played it on PC, maybe the PS2 version is simpler.

I was going to say Red Faction, since I consider things like the destructible environments as pretty fun, used to just play around with the aspect you could create tunnels with explosives.

If you like Alien, do you perhaps like Predator? I am quite fond of a game on the PS2 called Predator: Concrete Jungle, where you get to play as a Predator in a sort of action, stealth game.

I am not really familiar with any "waifu games", of which I guess you mean anime, I did not really have anything like that back then.

Not really I think part of what you gave examples of, but one PS2 game I really liked was Star Wars Starfighter, was a fun little Star Wars dogfighting game, if you maybe like flying some ships in Battlefront you might have some fun.

Forgot to mention Return To Castle Wolfenstein earlier. Definitely worth playing.
