Name a game that is excellent that many don't know about.

Way of the Samurai. If you want a cool choose your own adventure style game where what you choose to do actually affects things dramatically and it's short enough to replay many times over, this is the game.

Always wanted to try that but never did. Is that for PS2?

Yup. Worth checking out. If memory serves I imagine it's a bit rough around the edges by today's standards but what wasn't in the early PS2 days.
