Actually, The ps2 have plenty of games to look forward to. As of now, they may not compare to games on xbox (Panzer dragoon orta, shenmue 2, project ego, Unreal chapionship) or gamecube (celda, mario, mario part 4, starfox adventures, virtua fighter quest, wario's world, metroid prime...), but E3 could change everything.

Anyways, some games include:
1.Gungrave (looks amzing, by the way)
2.Project Devil (the one without dante, from capcom... bound to be good, considering shinji's history with action games)
3.Onimusha 2 (I have the import... can you say kewl? much better and faster moving than onimusha)
4.Auto modelista (best use of cel shading i've seen, since EVERYTHING looks like a cartoon, haven't seen it in motion though, but its online mode would be cool...)
5.Xenosaga (light on gameplay, super heavy on story, but i'd kill to know the actual backstory to xenogears)
6.Pro Race Driver (better than GT3 graphics, from the screens so far)
7. The Getaway (seen the new screens, not as pretty as expected, but expect GTA3 styled gameplay with better graphics)
8. Ratchet and Clank (if it is anything like Jak and Daxter, i'll take it!)
9. Colin McRae Rally 3(if history is any indication, this will rule)
10.Devil May Cry 2 (the one with Dante in it, gonna be amazing)
11. Mark of Kri (heard a lot of good words and first impressions from editors, should be quite good, and the graphics style is very attractive and clean)
12.Final Fantasy 11 (this is THE reason to get the broadband Adapter)
13.Kingdom Hearts (looks good, plays good, according to screens and impressions from websites. also selling like hotcakes in japan, which is a good indication of quality)
14.Dead to rights (coming soon after xbox version)
15. Rygar (looks to be good old school fun)
16. Maximo 2 (already confirmed, bound to be exciting...and tough)
17. Shinobi (the extremely rare ,decent and original game coming from sega, treasure it before it goes to xbox)
18.Soul Calibur 2 (sequel to the best fighting game before virtua fighter 4 came along)
19.Robotech (can't wait for this! The movies show SMOOTH dogfighting and great action)
20.Star Ocean 3 (to tide us over till FF12, and star ocean has a great battle system, and enthralling story, if star ocean 2 is any indication)
21.Medal of Honour Frontline (Great graphics, and the best AI and sound effects anywhere, expect this recreation of the series to be better on the PS2)
22.Coolgirl (i wouldn't mention this...but this is an ACTION GAME BY KCEJ, the group that made mgs2, and ZOE, expect it to be quite good)
23. Red Dead Revolver (by capcom again, and did i mention they make kewl action games?)
24. Tomb Raider ( i know all of its games other than the original sucks, but this revamp of the series with a new MGS2 contol scheme and great graphics looks good so far)
25.Timesplitters 2 (made by the guys that did goldeneye, with a focus on single player mode and story... another sure to be good game)
26.Rayman 3 (rayman 2 was amazing so....)


Not to mention other surprises we would hear of after E3. Expect a new SSX, perhaps Ninja Gaiden (pray...), the much rumoured perfect dark zero (rare has been shopping its game series around, hoping to get around nintendo's tight grip, and this is very much a possibility), the oft mentioned 'halo killer', syphon filter 4, a new Jib ribbon (ahhhh.... the originality! the craziness!),
tons and tons of online games (can't wait for hot shots golf online, you gotta buy this game).

i thought the list above was quite thorough, but i may be wrong, since i pick out the titles right out of my head.
Any more suggestions or juicy rumours?

1. the lost - action RPG from ex-looking glass studios staff.
2. (way of the) samurai - story-based blade combat game from the tenchu team.
3. jojo's bizarre adventure - capcom cel-shaded fighter.
4. primal - sony europe's secret game - 3rd person action adventure, could be brilliant, could be a missed opportunity.
5. u: underwater unit - 3d shooter from irem.
6. zettai zetsumai toshi - irem survival adventure in an earthquake-ravaged city.
7. raging bless - multiplayer action, looks like a 3d golden axe.
8. dual hearts - cartoon action rpg.
9. dot-hack - episodic RPG, set inside a MMORPG.
10. exo - squad-based urban mech combat.
11. the thing - third-person, based on the sci-fi horror flick.
12. ferrari F355 - new version of the sega racer.

plus the tenchu, suikoden, wild arms and frequency sequels, new contra and possibly new castlevania games from konami, and online games - mojib ribbon, bomberman, resident evil.
