What kind of games do you like?
If you like RPGs, then Final Fantasy X is a bit of a must-have, and Wild Arms 3 is quite good if a bit traditional.
If you like survival horror, you MUST own Project Zero. Silent Hill 2 and 3 are also both excellent.
If you like racing games, well, Burnout 2 is the best one on the platform, but Gran Turismo 3 is also very good indeed. Wipeout Fusion is sadly rubbish - try finding a copy of Extreme-G 3 (XG3) in a bargain bin somewhere instead, it's great.
If you fancy an atmospheric platform/puzzle game which a lot of people consider to be the best videogame ever made, don't miss out on ICO
If you like action platformers, Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank are both absolutely excellent. Sly Raccoon is worth a look too.
For action adventure games, do NOT buy the new Tomb Raider game or Enter the Matrix - both are absolutely woeful, full of bugs and generally terrible. Try out Mark Of Kri, Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven or even Primal instead (although Primal is a last resort since it's also a bit stinky).
For simply damn good fun, if you don't mind looking VERY silly in front of your television, buy Eye Toy: Play
For sports games, ask someone else - I never play the evil blasted things 0 -

I'm not saying this just to annoy you 50cents but the only reason that Enter the Matrix got good reviews from some magazines was because they were paid to give it good reviews. It's a sad fact that this actually happens.
A great underrated platformer is Maximo. If you find it cheap somewhere then you should definitely get it.
Since most of my recommendations have already been listed I'd just like to add that if anyone has a chipped PS2 then they really should get Suikoden 3 as soon as possible. From little i've played the game is fantastic. There are three intertwining stories to choose from at the start and it looks like there could be more later on since there is space for another 3. The game is probably as good as FFX and could possibly be better. It really is a huge improvement over suikoden 2. Also Chris is one of the most fanciable game characters ever
And before Swifty has another swipe at me Chris is also a girls name.

A lot of those tv shows don't have any decent reviewers. They all try to have a 'cool' image so that they can attract a younger audience which they believe is the biggest audience for a gameshow while everyone else knows that it isn't. Thats why you usually see very popular games getting great reviews, games such as Fifa soccer, and well there isn't anything as popular or cool as the matrix I wouldn't be surprised if they were getting paid off as well.well the pc version is best anyway
I prefer the PS2 version despite a woeful frame rate and blurry graphics. Theres less annoying bugs such as cars disappearing when they are out of line of sight.

Lan Jam was a right joke. You are talking about Bits. I didn't really like their reviews but by god the three girls were damn sexy, especially Emily Booth :-) Thumb Bandits was okay but a bit too, look at us we're just like FHM, style. I don't anything will ever beat Gamesmater for a while, not that it was perfect but the tv studios won't risk putting on another evening videogames show.
