I'm playing Katamari Damacy and X-Men Legends both for PS2.
Katamari Damacy is a crazy japanese game where you roll up a sticky ball of everything to a specified size within a timelimit. Lots of fun and a great sense of scale and style. It's great starting out being able to roll over thumbtacks, then eventually getting big enough to roll over people. They make great screams :D
X-Men Legends is a cool action/RPG game featuring the X-men characters. Kind of like a Diablo 2 type game, but you have a team of 4 most of the time, and can switch on the fly between which you control, the computer taking control of the others. I don't have any friends, but I guess it also allows other players to jump in whenever and control someone else from the team. So far, it's been great fun blasting through levels and beating up sentinels. Wolverine has been my character of choice so far, but I just rescued Gambit and hope to start using him more often.

I finished yesterday night Red Faction 2 (on PS2)... There are lot of various weapons, and during some level, you can kill your ennemies from helicopter, tank, and sub-marine... Even if I found gameplay rather simple (kill / destroy, destroy everybody / everything you can kill / destroy), sometimes you need to take care to civilians... Globaly, I had fun.. this game is really worth played...
I also play Return to Castle: Wolfenstein (on PC, and not yet finished...). It's a little more tricky and hard I think.. Ennemies are more efficient to trap the player... There are again various weapons, and I found gameplay is really cool...
Q3 on PS2 as well... closed last year...
AND Q1 FOR EVER !!

Recently I Have Mostly Been Playing...

Dungeon Siege

I'm currently playing Dungeon Siege in my spare time. It's cool because for the most part your skills are auto-managed, so I can't mess it up.
I like the camera, and the visuals are pretty cool; although the fog can be a little annoying sometimes. Details are cool. It might be better if there were just a few more things to interact with--a few more puzzles and secrets.
Gameplay has some nice variety, and includes some hoard combat, plus combat against fewer but tougher monsters. It's pretty balanced, and has most, if not all, of the RPG elements that people usually enjoy.
The only problem is the one that plagues most RPGs: walking 5 minutes back to town to sell your loot, buy another party member, and upgrade your equipment. A town portal feature, or even a game-time slider would be useful to make the trip better. Come to think of it, I think there is a slider that controls the gamespeed, but it's buried in the options menu.

Sounds interesting, but I don't have a PS2. I'll check it out anyway.
Since I'm broke I'm stuck in demo land and have just been playing demos of Colin Mcrae 03, 04, 04 and GTR and recording videos of lap replays and crashes:

It's kind of fun to see games you worked on mentioned (X-Men and DS:LoA).
I'm currently playing KOTOR--I started over after not playing it for a couple of months, since I kinda forgot what was going on, and am now back to where I was before (just killed the Rancor in the sewers).
I'm also playing Morrowind on and off (still), and will probably get back to Doom 3 at some point--I basically played the crap out of it for a couple of weeks there and am kind of burnt-out. Occasional bouts of Painkiller too.
Also still playing Trackmania, which I love, and just made a new track a couple of weeks ago.
My tracks:

(if anyone plays the game and/or cares)

Morrowind And Blokettiblok
The latter's a fun little Pengo clone, best in small doses. But Morrowind's been consuming me of late. Maybe it should have been called Better Than Life.
One day I'll understand the editor too. Then I'll be truly stuffed.

Mafia

I'm playing Mafia for PC and it's pretty fun. There's alot of different sub-games in it that you do as part of your missions. It's like GTA3 but set in the 1920s. Good graphics, although sometimes it looks kind of dodgy when it's drawing the buildings and bridges. You'll be driving down the street and suddenly a 2 mile long bridge appears 100 ft in front of you. And that's with drawing distance set to 'Highest'
I think it also would have benefitted from a first person mode, but it's still alot of fun despite the above mentioned shortcomings.
