Arcade controllable PS2 games?

[Dripht]

I'm thinking about putting a ps2 in my cabinet, but im worried if there will be enough playable games to warrant the purchase/effort. I'm not gonna bother worrying about the analog sticks, so im hoping you guys can list me some games I should try that are completely playable using the digital pad. Thanks.

There's a ton to list, but I'll hit some highlights.

Fighters: VF4, SC2, Tekken tag & 4, KOF doublepack, Guilty Gear X & XX
Shooters: R-type Final, Gradius 3, 4, &5(when it's out)

I'd like to add: Contra Shattered Soldier, and Silpheed

Don't forget lightgun games: Vampire Night, and Time Crisis series...

Oh I absolutely plan to put a lightgun in there to play Time Crisis 3.

and metasl slug 3 (maybe), and metal slug 4 & 5 are coming. what better on a ps2 arcade than real arcade games? and check out alien hominid if your into shooters. (i am, can you tell?)

Sadly, no.  Ikaruga is out on Gamecube, but not PS2 (At least stateside)

plenty to go in..i wouldnt do an arcade without one...

Well, took me a week or so, but I think I got every game listed so far, believe it or not. I'm loving Guilty Gear XX   . Everyone else likes Soul Calibur 2 more though, since it's more of a button masher. R-Type has always been a fav of mine, but I'm a bit disappointed that Final doesn't have an 'Arcade' type mode.

Thanks for the help. Any more suggestions?
