So I just got a PS3 and need game recommendations

[Easton Dark]

Any and all games in the Uncharted series, good god yes.

Vanquish. You need this in your life. You need to be touching it. It needs to be inserted into your ps3, and played.

I know it's multi-platform, but I would contend that it is one of the very few shooters that actually plays better with the dualshock controller, just due to how compact it is, and how the triggers are aligned. When I tried Vanquish on my 360, quickly alternating between boosting, aiming and shooting mechanics was uncomfortable due to the spacing between the triggers and shoulder buttons. This is an objective observation, not a snipe at one particular platform.

In summary, acquire Vanquish for your ps3.
Because, Vanquish...mer..der..suuuruuurduuur...blam....zap...uh...hurrrdy...finng...grr...grreat.

Arkham Asylum. Seriously. It's damn good.

 

[ModReap]

Infamous
Valkyria Chronicles
Heavy Rain

Those are my most highly recommended games.

 

[MMETEORAGA1994]

Metal Gear Solid 4 if you're into the MGS series. If not, AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE. It's about 4/5's cutscenes. I would reccommend Uncharted 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2 to anybody. And Heavy Rain if you like story driven games

EDIT: I meant to say LittleBigPlanet, not LBP 2, although that'll be stellar also

 

[TilMorrow]

MGS4, Folklore, LBP, Uncharteds, Resistances and Killzone 3 are good games but I'd rather play my xbox 360.

When I bought my PS3 after christmas with part of hte money I got I got the movies 9 and Splice and for a game: Bioshock 2. BS2 isn't really that bad. Not nearly as good as the first, of course, but I like it. There's better games available, but acknowledge its existence...

 

[thirdsonsaburo]

MGS4, any Assassin's Creed game, Valkyria Chronicles, and Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes.

I can recommend some movies, but everyone knows the PS3 has......


har har har har har.


In all seriousness, I'd recommend the Uncharted series first and foremost. Beyond that, it depends on your personal preference, but unless you're easily amused(like, cymbal-banging monkeys enthrall you), I wouldn't recommend Heavy Rain. Maybe I'm a snob or something, but the massive gaping plot holes, terrible pacing, bad voice acting, and completely throwaway characters(NAWMINJAYDEHN) really ruined the experience for me.

Other good PS3 games include Killzone 2(it's a first-person shooter without obnoxious set pieces, that alone makes it a godsend), Demon's Souls(more Castlevania than Lords of Shadow), Infamous, and pretty much any multiplat.

The thing with Heavy Rain that no one mentions is that it has a shower scene with partial frontal nudity and no censoring, and you know a bunch of gamers will replay it just for that but say they like it for the story.

Well you're off to a good start, I throughly enjoyed Demon's Souls and inFamous. RDR isn't a PS3 exclusive, but it's damn good and definitely worth a buy.

 

[MAUSZX]

Well you have 2 awesome games.
I havent play the God of war games, but there is the trilogy in sale.
My recommendation is Heavy Rain. That game is like a movie, but is a very good game.
