It was just sitting in a drawer and I've got all the cables too!...but alas no controller Still, I'm thinking of going to pick a controller up tonight and some games for it
Can anyone recommend any games that AREN'T on the US PS store? haha

hmm... well, I don't know about what is or isn't on the PSN store (except for some Final Fantasy titles) but I could think of some titles that may be of interest. (some might be a tad difficult to come by though)

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy Chronicles (contains FF4 and Chrono Trigger)
Final Fantasy Origins (contains FF1 and 2, and the PS1 version of FF1 is the closest you can find to the original without going to the NES)
Parasite Eve
Resident Evil (any of them would be worth getting if your into survival horror)
Tekken 3
Metal Gear Solid VR Missions

hmm... that seems to be all I can come up with atm.

I know it's a little late, but..

-Megaman Legends: Third Person Shooter. Really fun and sadly will never be on PSN according to Capcom.
-Bushido Blade: Fighter. It's in JP PSN, but don't think it ever hit west. It's amazing because it's not able beat'em up, it's strategy. One slice is win if hit right. Was a blast.
-Einhander: Side shooter. Same as Bushido Blade, JP but never west. Amazing graphics for it's time and was one of the only side shooters I've ever enjoyed, and I hate side shooters.
-ChronoCross: RPG. Supposed to be releasing PSN, they had some problems so it was delayed. Donno if it'll ever come. Amazing music, visuals, and story. I took forever to just stop rewatching the intro, it was so amazing back then hehe.

I'll reply if I think of any others.

My recommendations:

Brave Fencer Musashi
Think Legend of Zelda replaced with a wise-cracking, height-challenged samurai warrior that can absorb enemies to learn new abilites, with tongue-in-cheek humor (with character and place names making some references to food) with a fun and quirky soundtrack, and some of the better English dubbing from a PS1 game you'll find. One of the lost gems from the Squaresoft that was in the 90s.

Apocalypse
Kinda a guilty pleasure, this one is. Starring Bruce Willis, quite literally, this shoot 'em up platformer isn't spectacular, per se. The plot is bare-boned, the story is laughable, most of Willis' dialogue can be ripped from the Die Hard films, and the gameplay is kinda straight-forward and offers little else than corridor shooting. It was dumb, but a fun kinda of dumb.

The Legend of Dragoon
Revered among JRPG fans one of the more underrated games that was lost amid the popularity of Final Fantasy, The Legend of Dragoon was unique in challenging players to chain combo's effectively to deal damage to enemies, and sported a solid (albeit confusing at times) fantasy stories involving dragons and battling ancient evils (you know, typical RPG material ). A fun romp, and one I regret trading in after playing it. If you're willing to pay a pretty penny, you can find a copy on eBay or Amazon.

Valkyrie Profile
Although this game would eventually be remastered with new cinematics and voice-overs for the PSP version, the original is another nice collection for anyone's PS1 collection with a hefty wallet. The original print is awfully rare, and even used copies in great condition are worth at least $60 on Amazon. Nevertheless, much like Legend of Dragoon, it was a fun RPG, loosely based (and I stress "loosely")on Norse mythology, and face-paced gameplay with button combos that require timing to break enemy guard and deal damage. Be warned, the game off the bat pits you against the clock, and the choices you make, from sending fallen heroes to Asgard to offering artifacts to Odin can yield different endings, and the game can sometimes be punishing especially in late game with it's difficulty.

Front mission 3 is a pretty good game. It has two different story lines so you would need to finish the game twice whick i thought was pretty cool.

PSN ID: Team_Dig_Dug
Steam ID: Team_Dig_Dug

Gex - used to play it a TON! It's a platformer about a gecko named Gex who acts kind of like a comedian as well.

Tekken 2 or 3 - These were what i had before i tried Mortal Kombat or anything like that.. They're amazing. Plus... it'll be good to play before SF vs Tekken comes out!

Road Rash 3-D - Basically.. it's a racing game.. you're on a motorbike.. you have chains and plywood to knock people over. = MAJOR SUCCESS.

Um Jammer Lammy - A PSone game I still play today. It's so timeless and fun. You play a guitar playing lamb named Lammy and basically just perform songs much like you would guitar hero.. but if you need something a bit more manly.. how about a rapping dalmation? (Parappa the Rappa)
