i have entered the twentieth century!

This weekend I ordered a laptop and bought a PS2.

So tell me, o lazyweb, what cheap PS2 games should I be acquiring post-haste? Note that I don't do CRPGs (I have no patience for an endless stream of nigh-identical random battles, nor do I believe that pressing a button to slowly read through dialogue counts as "gameplay"). I'm partial to "action-adventure" games, and non-twitchy puzzle games if such things exist. I already own Frequency, am on the lookout for Amplitude, and am contemplating Gitarzan (or, as the rest of the world refers to it, "Guitar Hero"), and that will probably tide me over for rhythm games.

The MGS storylines can be bad, but they're the awesome kind of bad. And the gameplay is great. But MGS3 wins for all time for one reason: Snake Vs. Monkey. Also for letting you drop hornet nests on enemies' heads.

. . . anything with monkeys gets automatic bonus points. MGS3 it is.

Be sure to get the MGS3: Subsistence special edition, not the normal MGS3: Snake Eater. The MGS game mechanic lends itself to 3rd person view, which is only available in MGS3: Subsistence. Also, more Snake vs. Monkey stages.
