PS3 Games

[FlyAwayAutumn]

So I'm getting a PS3 in 2 weeks and I have enough money to buy a couple games, but considering the fact that I don't know any PS3 games I was wondering what games that everyone would recommend for me to buy.

So, good people, what do you have for me?

inFamous
MGS4
Killzone 2
Resistance 1/2
RE5 (if you haven't played it elsewhere)
Noby Noby Boy

LittleBigPlanet-NUFF SAID.
Warhawk for a good online shooter game.
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction is good if you like the series.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a very nice game to play.
Valkyria Chronicles is a unique twist to the JRPG games.

I'd think of some others, but that's all I can think up off the top of my head.

Oh damn, I forgot all about R&C! Ah I fail, although I would recommend he try out LBP before buying it. Unless he is a creative type he might get bored of it quickly (like I did).

Full Auto2: Battlines

Fallout3

Battlefield: Bad Company

 

[DRADIS C0ntact]

Definitely give Uncharted: Drake's Fortune a shot. It's my favorite game so far on the PS3.

Ditto. Pretty game and good fun.

The most fun I've had with the PS3 (so far) was with Flower. Give it a shot, just don't go in expecting a "game", think of it as an experience. I also like Uncharted and MGS 4, to a lesser extent. I'd say buy those 3 if you're looking for the definitive PS3 stuff. If you've got more money to burn, go with the other games people have mentioned, too. The ones I've played (most of them, actually) are all pretty good.

As a guy who doesn't have a PS3, all I can say is that I really want to play Infamous and especially Valkyria Chronicles.

 

[Solytus]

In my experience, I've found these games to be particularly enjoyable:

- inFAMOUS
- Metal Gear Solid 4
- LittleBigPlanet
- Killzone 2
- Noby Noby Boy
- Battlefield: Bad Company
- Fallout 3
- GTA IV
- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
- Valkyria Chronicles (Haven't played this one myself, but I've been hearing rave reviews about it)

Littlebigplanet and a couple of friends is way more fun than pretty much anything else on the console

No good games on PS3 (or 360) that you can't get on PC.

With a PS2, a Wii and a good PC you can play all the good game there are.

My recommendations:

-inFamous
-Killzone 2 (a far better shooter than the Resistance series, in my opinion)
-Motorstorm 1/2 (the first is cheaper, the second has more of everything, but the racing in both is great)
-LittleBigPlanet
-Wipeout HD (how did we get this far without a single mention of this?)
-Metal Gear Solid 4

inFamous and Killzone 2

 

[XJ-0461]

Uncharted is a good game, I'd recommend it.

 

[Tony Grande]

Another mention of Wipeout HD would be appreciated...

 

[Kajt]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty 5: World at War
LittleBigPlanet
Guitar Hero: Metallica
Grand Theft Auto IV
Battlefield: Bad Company
Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction

And many more.

I can't offer much advice, apart from MGS4.

My PS3 generally lies cold and alone on my loungeroom floor. Poor bastard. I am getting MGS4 tomorrow though, so that should guarantee 20 hours or so for my second playthrough.

No good games on PS3 (or 360) that you can't get on PC.

And are they asking about that? No. Is your comment at all useful, other than flamebait? No.

As for the OP, I've only had a PS3 for about two months, so I don't have that many games yet. But if you like JRPGs, I'd suggest Eternal Sonata. It's quirky and fun. LittleBigPlanet is good if you like platformers and things that are unabashedly cute.

Bioshock is available for the PS3, but the load times are insane, I'm not even kidding, so if you want Bioshock and have a decent PC, I'd recommend that over the PS3 version.

I haven't played it, since it's not out where I am, but it seems like inFAMOUS is turning out to be the big PS3 game this year, so you might want to look into that one as well.

Okay, while these have already been mentioned I feel they deserve another mention, for outstanding performance in the field of exellence.

Unchartedrake's fortune, this game doesn't do anything all that new, but it combines so many great gameplay elements so well. It Has a nice story with genuinely lovable characters, a great script and some fantastic acting. It might not reinvent the wheel, but it does what it does damn well.

Little Big Planet, this game should be on every PS3 owner's shelf, the ammount of things you can create is mind-boggling, you really are only limited by your imagination.
Yes the platforming itself is a little clunky at times, but the sheer scope of the level creator and the over-whelming charm of the design more than make up for it.

Killzone 2, this is a fairly standard FPS, it does most things strictly by the book, but it has a level of polish rarely seen. Not just in the graphics but the design, the set pieces and overall production. The gameplay has a lovely sense of weight to it, your character actually feels like he moves with a bit of mass.
It doesn't bring many new ideas to the FPS table, but it's an immersive, well designed shooter.
