Gregory Horror Show!

And yes, it's actually quite scary in a cartoony way.

[Ack]

You guys are giving him a lot of imports, but why not some NTSC-U titles?

Also...I enjoy horror, but you guys are pretty much only pointing him towards those.

Fighting:

Arcana Heart
Bloody Roar 4

Racing:

Burnout series

Third Person Shooter:

Ghosthunter
Gungrave
The Punisher

Beat 'Em Up:

The Red Star (contains elements of SHMUPs)

SHMUP:

Gradius V
Raiden III
Silpheed: The Lost Planet

Hack and Slash:

The Mark of Kri
Way of the Samurai series

And...horror. Of course I'm going to toss out a few recommendations here:

Echo Night: Beyond
Haunting Ground
Kuon

Anyway, there you go. Just a few ideas on games to check out for your PS2 collection.

Thank you guys for the recommendations. I will definitely be buying some these.

King of coloseum 2.
Victorious boxers 2.

both are excellent games may I add. I still play
KOC 2 on my pc with an emulator and the 1080p
does not hurt the game at all.

I only have a NTSC PS2.

I'm not sure if you'd consider it obscure, but many people have never played/heard it.

Okami = one of the absolute best games on the PS2. You play as a goddess wolf known as Amateresu and the entire game litterally looks like a japanese painting in 3D, and has many collectables and quests.

Timesplitters is A MUST. It's such a great game, and has multiplayer features.

You may like Devil kings. Check that out when you get the chance.

There is Also Disaster report....i've never personally played the game but it has gotten many good ratings.

There is also Zone of the Enders: The 2nd RUNNER. Very good game, but kinda short and some parts are very frustrating. Think of it as DMC in space...as robots. Awesome robots.

I've also heard Dark Cloud is very good, and it's relatively cheap. BTW all of these games i've mentioned are under 20 dollars.

And if you enjoy RPG's, you wold probably enjoy DRAKEN: The Ancient Gates.

And of course, both castlevania games on the PS2 are very good, and the DMC games.

You also have the Katamari games. I personally love those, but some people get frustrated with the difficult controls.

As for Horror games, there's Siren: blood curse, Clock tower, The suffering (PERSONALLY i find this to be one of the most horrifying games ever) and i'm not sure if it's considered obscure, but Fatal Frame is considered a very swell game also. Then of course, Haunting grounds...

You also have mr. Mosquito you can get for like 3 dollars. It's a pretty wacky game.

And if you like the original RE games, there is ONIMUSHA 1, 2, and 3, which are all basically RE with samurais and demons.

many may not consider Guilty gear to be obscure, but you could also go for that if you like fighters.

Others you can check out are

Cold Fear
Way of the Samurai
Shadow Hearts
Whiplash (you're basically a fox attached to a rabbit and you use the rabbit as a weapon i guess...not too sure about this one)
Primal
Klonoa 2
Stretch panic (if you want something REALLY weird...)
Dogs life
MDK2
River King (kinda like harvest moon for fishing?)
Harvest moon
