If you play around in the Xbox menu, you'll find a screen for TV/video settings. Select the highest level of HDTV your screen will display (480, 720 or 1080; I assume that info would be in the TV's documentation) and tell it whether or not your screen is widescreen. Hopefully that will do it. As to the original question, is your PS2 a US-import, or is it European? If I remember correctly, Broken Sword 3 was released for PS2 in Europe, though you've probably already played it on the PC by now. I would second the recommendations of the Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper series, as well as ICO and Katamari Damacy (though if you have a European PS2, you'll have to wait for the sequel to play KD). If you play and enjoy ICO, be on the lookout for Shadow of the Colossus, which is a sequel (in spirit) to ICO made by the same development team. It probably won't be out until late this year or early 2006, though. Disaster Report is a pretty cool, and fairly obscure, game that has an adventure feel to it, though it's not an adventure in the strictest sense. Your character is trying to escape an island city that's being devastated by earthquakes. You have to find a way to get yourself and this girl you save off the island, all the while keeping yourself hydrated and avoiding death by aftershock. Basically, it's survival horror minus the zombies and shotguns. Finally (I can't believe I almost forgot to mention it), Psychonauts! If you don't already know, it's the latest game by Tim Schafer, and it's coming out in less than a month (in the US anyway). I'm pretty sure it has a European publisher for the PS2. Though, again, you may prefer to play it on the PC.

 If I'll be able to run it, that is.I'm starting to think I didn't really need this crappy console... No adventure games... And I only bought it so I could play In Cold Blood and Discworld Noir for PSX (which I bought for 15 $ together)... Thank God for Pro Evolution Soccer!  Thanks guys, I'll take you up on some games you've mentioned so far

The PS2 isn't a crappy console - granted there are a lack of AGs for it but it does have games like Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, ICO, Final Fantasy and many others

There's a great diversity of games for PS2, mostly because it's been out a lot longer than the other consoles, and also 'cause of devs from around the world design for it.
I'm hoping the same will happen with Xbox and its next iteration.

I forgot to say that adventure games are not only scarce on the PS2, they're scarce on any console for now. There seems to be this stigma on consoles being less 'appropriate' for them as consoles are more about sports, action, platformer, and racing games. Also, I think many adventure game devs can't afford the expense of designing for consoles, they have to pay the licensing fees, sign [exclusivity] contracts, and use proprietary tools. But we may be seeing the seeds of that changing finally. The Syberia series is on Xbox, and Dreamfall and Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) will be console-bound as well.
