If you mean hack n' slash as in RPG, I'd recommend Titan Quest and its expansion, Immortal Throne. Great game, lots of hours to be spent pleasantly.

If you mean hack n' slash as in "I wanna chop stuff with my giant sword", I personally found Devil May Cry 4 very entertaining, and Heavenly Sword as well.

Titan Quest is my 2nd favorite game ever. ITS SO AWESOME.

If you have a 360 with live, I recommend Castle Crashers on the arcade.

Devil May Cry 4

One of the best games I ever played was Diablo 2. Even now, when I look at some of the new games, I feel that they are inferior to Diablo in every means possible. Titan Quest and Sacred were one of the few, newer games that get pretty close to Diablo's level.
But I think this guy wants something for ps3, so DMC4.

I'll assume you've played Diablo 1 & 2 because everyone has; the Devil May Cry games and Jedi Outcast/Academy are good hack 'n' slash games. Jade Empire's pretty good for a more RPGy type hack 'n' slash game though.

PS3 owner, huh? Prince of Persia: Two Thrones is a few years old, but still a good game if you haven't played. Plus you can probably find it in the $10 bargain bin of any store. Also if you have a Game Cube or Wii, I'd recommend a Legend of Zelda game, that is, if you're into puzzle solving. You can also pick up The Force Unleashed if you're into Star Wars.

Diablo.

Most people overlook the first one because of the "improvements" the second one made, but it is worth it to play it through at least once. I love the atmosphere of the first one, compared to the feel of the second.

I second that. Diablo 2 had much smoother gameplay, but it didn't have the same atmosphere of dread the first did. The first Diablo actually gave me nightmares for a while.

I haven't played it myself, but if you have a PS3 you may want to try Dark Kingdom.

Ha, my brother keeps moaning that diablo II lod has 'ruined' gaming for him, because he has never found a game that measures up to it.

I keep trying to get him to play Mass Effect, but he won't have it.

Hey I played Mass Effect. I really liked it, although it's a very different kind of game.

Madworld if you want the action right at the start, but I would suggest rental.

depends what you count as hack and slash. if you mean devil may cry, god of war etc i'd go for ninja gaiden 2. amazing game! if you mean stuff like diablo... then diablo 2

 

[Utarefson]

Any Ninja Gaiden game or if you don't have any problems with old gameslay the legacy of kain games, or at least soul reaver I+II & lok:defiance.

I dunno, yes, you're right there is RPG the elements i.e. the levels etc. but the nature of the gameplay and the sheer quantity of bad guys/monsters would, in my opinion, mean its more a hack and slash than an RPG.

 

[FlameOfArnor]

the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine game. it's really graphic and has some pretty cool gameplay.
but watch out for the last level. In the words of Yahtzee, it's a real c**k-slap.

DYNASTY WARRIORS!!! pretty much any of them will do; they're all identical from 2 onwards even going so far as to have the same levels and characters. but a better hack n slash game you will never find, its the most enjoyable thing on earth.

Dynasty Warriors is the very definition of a hack n' slash video game series.
