I'm in the mood to play a good Sci-Fi game, as long as it's on PS3. What are some recommendations? I doesn't have to be an exclusive. But, Don't name Mass Effect, Ratchet and Clank, Deus Ex, or Dead Space since I own those games.

You want a game or a movie? Vanquish is a great sci-fi TPS but slightly lacking in the story department.

Vanquish is the first that comes to mind.
It's a solid TPS that enjoys taking the piss out of 'western sci-fi'.
-It also reminds me of 'Zone of the Enders' in terms of graphical feel.

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is another GREAT game.
It's a glorious Japanese B-Movie homage with solid TPS action.
-Though it CAN get a bit...repetitive...in long bursts.

Front Mission: Evolved is a solid TPS with, well, big robots.
It's not as good as the main series (FM4 will forever be my love) but it's an overlooked, solid C to a C+, of a game.
-It IS kind of short, depending on which difficulty you plan.

Killzone 2/3 are, again, solid FPS for the PS3 and both games are LOADS better then the first one.

Red Faction: Guerrilla is basically GTA on Mars, but with more 'destroy pretty much EVERYTHING'.
AVOID that 'Armageddon' game as it sucks, so bad.

WarHammer 40k: Space Marine is a GREAT game, just some dumb fun.
It CAN be challenging, even 'cheap', at times, but I love it.
-If you had/have PSN+ it was free, so, yay!

20 mintues of watching space ships blowing up

(it felt like 20 minutes)

no dialouge, nothing of signficance, nothing moving the plot foward in any way...just shit blowing up

what possible fucking reason could there possibly be for me to be shown shit blowing up for that long? and I LIKE cutscenes but that drove me fucking insane

which is why I veiw japanease developers with suspecion...

That's not awesome how?

Well seriously the cutscenes are skippable, so if you didn't like it you could just go straight to the gameplay.

because theres no need for it to go on that long...the whole time "I could just be playing this" its pointless spectacle and nothing else

It's select/back, not start/whatever the 360 start is called. Odd I know but it's in the manual, or you could of pressed every button til you find what works.

Depends on what you count as Sci-Fi. There are a number of great super-hero games on the console that have heavy Sci-Fi elements (the Batman ones, the inFamous ones). There are a number of steam-punk (Valkyria Chronicles) and post-apocalyptic (Enslaved) games for it, too.
