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.

On our PS2--which we only got last summer--we have:

Spy Hunter (the new release): Fun arcade-style play.

Tourist Trophy: Very realistic, rather difficult motorcycle simulator.

LEGO Star Wars: Like Knights of the Old Republic, if you've seen or played that. Action/adventure/quest.

Cars: You'll probably want to skip this one--my 9-year-old stepson loves it. :D

This summer, we got a Gamecube (for about $40, refurb, at Gamestop), and several games for that.
