Best driving games:
Gran Turismo 4
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Best first-person shooters:
Killzone
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
Best action/shooter:
Mercenaries
Freedom Fighters
Resident Evil 4
Plus no PS2 owner should be without all three Grand Theft Auto games (GTA3, Vice City & San Andreas).

Agreed on all GTA games these are essential and should be purchased with PS2

If you liked pro evo 3 you should definitely get pro evo 5. Its awesome. Takes a bit of getting used to but its satisfying when you crack it.
By genre then...
Flight Sim - Super EF2000 (PC). Very engrossing real-time war, mission planning; perfectly balanced between realism and gameplay.
Sports - either EA's NHL games (PC), or Sensible World of Soccer (Amiga)
Driving - for it's impact, the original Gran Turismo (PlayStation); currently GT4, Forza, and PGR3 keeping me entertained. Special mention has to go to Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix (early 90s, PC or Amiga) - AI was way ahead of it's time.
Strategy - Shogun: Total War; prefer that timescale/location to it's graphically superior, but gameplay inferior sequels.
FPS - The first Rainbow Six game (PC), because it was totally original. Currently, Call of Duty 2 (XBox360).
GTA: San Andreas (PS2) for free-roaming, do what you want kind of thing. How good would that be on Xbox 360, multi-player on Live (or PC for that matter)?

Gotta get Buzz for the PS2 - cracking fun!
Other than that, your games collection is similar to mine. I agree with everyone on the GTA series. I would suggest you get Vice City first and then San Andreas. Only others I would recommend are Tiger Woods Golf and Tony Hawks games - both good for easy pick up.
ooo and Burnout Legends as well...
