PS3

I just bought one. What games should I get? I just got that Dragon Origin game to start with, and its pretty fun, but it just doesnt...hold my attention.

so, what kicks ass and what doesnt?

Demon's Souls.

I bought the God of War collection too. That's been a blast this weekend.

here's a trimmed-down version of my post from the old PS3 thread:

Haze 4/5 - good action, good story, but too short

Assassin's Creed 4/5 - great story, good action, awesome environment. gets a little tedious though - pickpocket this guy, beat up that guy, kill him, rescue her. blah blah blah.

Army of Two 5/5 - really like this so far, haven't finished. also haven't tried playing without a friend, so i don't know how good the CPU ally AI is. customizable weapons ftw!

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune 2.5/5 - didn't care much for the mechanics. also, about 2/3 of the way through it turns into Resident Evil: Abandoned Power Station with superfast zombie shit. wtf?

Resistance: Fall of Man 3.5/5 - good enough game, but something felt missing. can't say what.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 4/5 - great physics, awesome graphics and tight play control. hard as FUCK though, i still can't believe i beat it

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 5/5 - if you ever played any of the MGS games, you'll love it. as always, the storyline is convoluted and confusing, but even despite that it's a great game

Battlefield: Bad Company 4.5/5 - fun as hell. supporting characters crack me up, too.

in retrospect i'd rate Army of Two, Resistance, and Haze lower


since then i've played:

Dead Space 4.5/5 - scary space survival FPS. cool weapons, creepy setting (think Event Horizon meets Resident Evil). dozens of ways to die lol

Grand Theft Auto IV 4.5/5 - pretty fun. sandbox-style game with tons of sidequests, which is good for when you want to take a break from the main storyline.

Resident Evil 5 4.5/5 - very well done, see above comments about MGS4. one caveat: it has forced co-op like Army of Two, so you're probably better off playing with a friend instead of trusting the AI buddy.

Conflict: Denied Ops 1.5/5 - don't bother, seriously

Resistance 2 3.5/5 - improved a bit over the first game, but they removed the 2P split screen co-op capability which is a big drawback if you have a regular gaming pal like i do.

Borderlands 5/5 - love this game. shitload of randomized weapons, great action, hilarious dialog. interesting Diablo2-like skill trees for each of four classes provides multiple ways to play. decent replay value too.


stuff still on my list:

batman arkham asylum
ninja gaiden sigma 2
valkyria chronicles
whenever FF13 comes out
modern warfare 2


hope that helps

Fallout 3 GOTY edition

It's just ridiculous how awesome that game is.

I'm loving Uncharted. Just beat 1 and started on 2.

What makes it awesome to me are no "boss" fights. just constant big shootouts. Although like previous poster says, it does take a turn for the gay with the zombie levels.. Hope #2 doesn't have that in it
