My favorites were Grandia, Vagrant Story, GT2, and Driver. I didn't really like many other PSX games.

FF7, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Intelligent Qube (if you can find it), Resident Evil, and lots of others.

Static Cling

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins is a GREAT game. But just like spas pointed out, 2 was a stinker (IMO).

Final Fantasy Tactics, best PS game. Ever.

Lethal Nemesis

Definitely get Castlevania SOTN. Awesome game, to say the least.

Syphon Filter series of games.....if you like that type of game. While they are not as pretty as the Metal Gear games.....they make up for it in the gameplay department. Much better missions in my opinion over the Metal Gear games.
