Two suggestions in the RPG field :

-Dragon Quest 8 : a very classic "Japanese" RPG, but really magnificent. 
Simple story, beautiful design, a real jewel to play. You might get 
bored by the many battles (absolutely no dextery required) if you don't 
like the genre though.

- Okami : a totally original RPG, with unique graphical style (inspired 
by traditionnal Japanese paintings, among other). I have not played it 
yet, but if you believe the critics the story is also very good.

And one which is more or less in the plateform genre (althoug you don't 
need so much dexterity) : Ico. A nice concept (you must go out, but are 
accompanied by a girl, who has no special agility, etc.), and an 
incredible atmosphere.

PS: at the moment, a PS2 is certainly a better option than a PS3 : tons 
of great games (the choice among good games is really huge), and they 
are cheap!
