Demon's Souls is great but by no means should you get it as your second game. That's a game for seasoned gamers.
SO, just bought a PS3

Assassins creed is good, so is Heavenly Sword, although the latter is a bit shorter on gameplay than I would have hoped.
Most definitely Demon's Souls, but inFAMOUS and now inFAMOUS 2 can bring some hours of enjoyment.
The games already listed are all good. And as some people suggested look on the PSN Store, they have a good amount of old PS1 games that are worth looking at.
The only games I can think of that haven't been mentioned are Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway(little buggy at times, but good) Yakuza 3+4. Haven't played 4 yet myself, but if you don't mind a game that is very Japanese, dated graphically, and subbed then it is pretty cool.

Red Dead Redemption is probably the best game I've ever played. Also Undead Nightmare is great too. Other than that Far Cry 2, Super Street Fighter 4, and Portal 2 are also excellent games.
I am in the same boat as the OP; I got mine as a graduation gift. However, I'll note that most new PS3 systems (the cheaper ones than the launch version) are not backwards compatible. I think they can play PS1 games, but not PS2.
I currently have LA Noire, MGS4, God of War 1+2 collection, and Red Dead Redemption.
I'm considering...
Demon's Souls (though I'm not sure what I think of a game that doesn't give tutorials; sounds mostly frustrating, not fun)
Uncharted 2 (I sort of wonder if I'll only play it for its SP and not again)
Resistance 2 (just to have one solid splitscreen shooter on the PS3)
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction OR A Clank in Time (I don't know which is better)
Heavy Rain (If only for morality reasons; I watched a full playthrough online, I know who the origami killer is, and now I don't really know what enjoyment I'd get from it, but I feel I owe the devs money. The playthrough even showed a number of alternate versions of events)
I don't easily shell out a lot of money for a game unless I have already played it, so I'm mostly buying the many reduced-price PS3 classics that I had been missing out on while I was a PC gamer, and leaving the $59.99 purchases to the fanboys.
I also need more games that can be played with two controllers in splitscreen. Any ideas?

If you can handle a brutal game that really punishes you and kills you off when you do something dumb, I recommend Demon's Souls more than any other game. Defeating enemies by something that is NOT just random buttonmashing is a fantastic experience. If you don't like the sound of that, here are some other recommendations.
3d Dot Game Heroes is a fantastic tribute to the Zelda-games (Espessially A link to the past and the very first one)
MGS4 is yet another good Metal Gear game. You already want this bad if you've played through the others. If not, I recommend getting the first one from PSN first, and playing that.
Uncharted 2 - Even better than the first. Lara Croft used to rule the world of third person adventures, but drake has apparently dethroned her.
Heavy Rain - While it has it's flaws, and the plot isn't perfect, it's still a very nice interactive experience that you won't get anywhere else.
God of War 1,2,3 - Start from the first one and enjoy these superb 3d hack and slash games. This is an experience you really should not miss.
As a lot of others said, games like Ratchet and Clank, Modnation, LBP and Resistance are also supposed to be great exclusives.

One game that always gets missed off these lists is ... Motorstorm!
Great racing games and they start off easy as fuck then before you know it your stuck on a level and even though you know the course like the back of your hand, you struggle to get better than second.
Sooo addictive.

Some game series you might enjoy:Mcmuffin said:
Resistance (1 and 2)
Assassins Creed (1, 2, and Brotherhood)
LittleBigPlanet (1 and 2)
Infamous (1 and 2)
These should be plenty to get you going
You're probably thinking of a different game, because Demon's Souls does give a tutorial. It covers pretty much every aspect of combat, although I really didn't know how equipment burden affected my character at first (keep it below 50% unless you're sure you know what you're doing).Katana314 said:
Unfortunately, one part that remains unexplained is the upgrade/crafting system. For that you'll need the wiki. Still, I would definitely recommend it. It's an amazing game once you get into it, one of the best action-RPGs I've ever played.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Resident Evil 5 allows for multiplayer splitscreen gameplay, as does Wipeout HD on the PSN store. RE5 also lets you play the entire main game in local co-op with splitscreen, which is cool.
