Suggest A Game?

I am going to buy myself a present today.
First, I thought I’d get a trophy, then I thought I’d get a pizza, but I settled on picking up a new game for my PS2.
Since I haven’t gamed in months, I am totally out of the loop on what’s good and what sucks these days.
Anyone have a reccommendation for me? I was thinking of SOCOM or NHL 2003 (is 2004 out, yet?) or something like that. I’m not into the racing games, or the fighting games. Comments are open on this one, if you care to share.
