Video Game Newb, needs game selection help...

[thirddan]

so heres the story...i work for a video game developer as an effects artist, but coming from a film training background i don't know much about games...so this weekend i am buying a ps2 (it needs to be a ps2) and am looking for cool games to get...

when i played games years ago i was into warcraft/red alert/diablo types of games, with a bit of mortal kombat thrown in...i don't like sports games and just finished development on an FPS so not looking for a shooter...

Here is the list i have so far...
Ratchet And Clank - a must buy for work
God of War
Shadow of Colossus
Prince of Persia - any ideas which are best?
Kingdom Hearts 2 - was recommended, but any good?
Devil May Cry 3 - don't know much about it...any good?

any other suggestions or comments on the current list appreciated, thanks...
