recommend some essential PS3 games

For the past 5 years I've only had a Wii. I finally got fed up with missing all the cool games and bought a PS3 and some games from a co-worker a few weeks ago.

Right now the only games I have are Mafia 2, Skate 3, and Katamari Forever. I'm looking for recommendations of some "essential" games to play. I'll admit I'm almost entirely clueless on what to buy. Preferably I'd like games that have been out for a few years, that way I can buy them used for cheap. I'm pretty much open towards every genre except sports. :madclap:

deus ex


:troll:

uncharted 1+2 are meant to be pretty good
grand theft auto 4
gran turismo

I agree with CrapFace and add:
Little Big Planet (I haven't played #2 yet but heard it's great as well)
Red Dead Redemption

I've got like 200 hours in Gran Turismo :cool:

madden 10 (11 fucked shit up)

Red Dead Redemption
GTA IV
Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted

Ive never played Uncharted 2 since I sold my PS3 before it came out, but Ive heard it is better than the first one. And the first one was awesome.

I remember playing Farcry 2 and it was pretty cool too.

I just got my PS3 too! It's really nice borrowing games from all my friends that have owned PS3's for a while. God of War 3 (get the collectors edition too if you haven't played 1 & 2). Uncharted 1 & 2, playing 2 right now. Still got Metal Gear Solid 4, and Batman Arkham Asylum waiting to be beaten. I haven't played them yet but I would also just like to recommend Little Big Planet 1 & 2 as well.

guess you need to find some friends kt

My friends that play video games own 360s.

My boyfriend has Gamefly though and I am going to take advantage of that.

Also thanks for all the recommendations so far. I bought Uncharted last night and I'm gonna start playing it after I finish this post.

heavy rain
god of war
metal gear solid 4

Also if you haven't played Ico or Shadows of Colossus pick up the ps3 pack for those, ps2 games but they're wonderful.

You like comic books right check out the batman games.
Mirrors edge is great and you can get it cheap

Uncharted and Uncharted 2 are the best

GOD OF WAR MOTHERFUCKER

also you have a bfrien?!?!

also if anyone can help me out.. i've played this fucking 16 times (more like 30) .. in the first god of war when kratos is protecting his family.. i've never played the game through on hard until now and fack it's hard.

PS3 still doesn't have games

you lie

Get Battlefield bad company 2 on the cheap so you can beast at BF3 when it comes out

playing bf3 on anything other than a pc is silly

well you can say that for all fps but people still do it

bc2 was consolized so bad that it really doesn't matter

if bf3 (as spiritual successor to the real bf gaymes) is like this I am going to fly to scandinavia and shit on dice's door

More so for the bf3 though I mean, its specially made for PC, as opposed to being made for console then ported over badly.

Apart from obviously looking nicer, better sound effects and the like, the pc version will be 64 players whereas the console version will be 24.

Rage when it comes out.

I know but I can't afford a new PC to play a game.

I loved BF2 on the PC though

And it really isn't going to be bad at all on the PS3. Unless you're a PC fanboy bitchface then it'll be bad no matter what anyone says

guilty as charged
consoles are only good for racing and fighting games imo

Thanks for the help guys but I did it myself.

all the more satisfying

I'm satisfied if you know what I mean

sponge get your ass back on the road

what the fuck get off my back bitch I cd with my cell phone to pass the time IT'S A 13 DAY WALK

I swear

also I just did 100 glute bridges on the side of the road prepare to have your lower half destroyed by the might of my gluteals

:a2a:

I think you would be using more of your hip flexors and extensors than glutes in that position

Super Mario Universe

...but only after the 3DS's failure causes Nintendo to fold up its console division

Oh hey guyz

I've been playing Uncharted. I've been pretty busy lately so I haven't gotten very far. I really like platformer parts of the game, but I'm not to keen on the 3rd person shooter parts.

lol i thought the whole game was 3rd ps

ya but you aren't shooting people all the time

KT Uncharted starts a little slow, but it gets super awesome.

I don't think I've seen a bad suggestion itt.

I'll throw in Infamous (if you like that kind of game) and Catherine (if you like that type of game, which you should, since it is fracking incredible).

ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection comes out September 27 for $40, and if you have played or like playing those two games then get The Last Guardian when it comes out in 2012.

Yeah, Catherine is already in my bf's gamefly queue for me. I mean any game with my name in it is worth checking out right?

I agree that the gunfights are the weakest parts of Uncharted. They did a bit better in Uncharted 2 by making them multi-level and mixing them up considerably.

I mean this still like a minor annoyance in the face of an amazing game.

Super Stardust HD is a pretty good game to download.

Just curious what you meant by in Uncharted 2 they made them "Multi-level"? No really just curious, I played Uncharted 2 for about 1 hour and then decided to put it down because I did just beat uncharted 1 in a weekend and wanted to mix it up with Castlevania/God of War. Once I beat those I'll get back to Uncharted 2, my brother was telling me it was loads better as well. Looking forward to #3 already.

Uncharted was mostly on flat terrain. Some cover, some different directions, but generally straight forward.

Uncharted 2 has more variation and requires a more tactical approach. High ground is available and valuable. When enemies have high ground on you, you're likely to pay for it. I just felt that there was more variety and challenge to the gunfights in Uncharted 2. Trust me, I have nothing but excellent things to say about the series. Can't wait for the 3rd.

GODDAMN IT WHEN ARE DIABLO III AND GUILD WARS 2 BEING RELEASED


I don't care about anything else why won't they release Diablo III and GW 2 already both games are behind schedule and I am filled with the miasma of despair ;_;

Always online, no mod support and blizz making money off your back makes diablo 3 a no buy for me. I can wait for GW2 since I'll be making mods for Rage and Skyrim in the meantime.

yes because always being online is a large problem.

Especially when you travel between cities a lot and often visit places that don't have internet.

well travelling between cities isn't a problem for staying online, places without internet might...but what you doing playing games if you are travelling so much?

I remember on the Starcraft II forums, a US soldier was complaining this would prevent him from playing the game when he was on his tour of duty.

haha thats pretty funny

wtf else am i supposed to do in middle of fucking no where towns?

read books, watch films, watch tv series, go out and get drunk, stay in and get drunk, take drugs or a combination of all of the above?
or maybe play some other games lol?

just because you own d3 doesn't mean you have to play it all the time...

Clearly you don't know how many hours I've sank into Diablo 2. I failed classes cause of that game. So NOT being able to play that game is dissapointing. I read books, watch films/tv series at home. I don't drink or take drugs.

Pot calling the kettle black here? :p

Also, the point is that it's absurd to restrict software access or include punishing DRM, since it doesn't prevent hacking and just punishes legitimate buyers of the software.

I have to be honest: I'm sufficiently pissed off at Blizzard that I'm considering just downloading a pirated copy of DIII, even if it means I won't be able to play with other people..

Halo, Gears, Conviction

yeah probably is pot calling the kettle black lol but moot point...

yeah i agree with that, i just think that saying 'omg need to be online to play wtf' is a bit of a weak argument, since the majority of people are online all the time these days.

and the people who travel lots..well unlucky, comes with the travelling territory.

uh well ever since steam removed its offline mode I've been annoyed on more than one occasion when I just wanted to play a single player game on steam but wasn't allowed to

that being said I would probably rather kill myself than play any diablo game offline

since when did steam remove offline mode...i still have it

Pixeljunk Eden, Echochrome, The Last Guy, and Flower are definite games to get from the Playstation Network.

Oh yeah, wipeout fusion is an awesome game to get from the psn, if you like futuristic racing games with weapons.

Since there are also posts about non-PS3 games in here...

Yay, Diablo III has moved into its closed but public beta phase!!!

Finally beat Uncharted 2, it was amazing, soooooooooo much better by the first, so if you were a little eh after playing the first one, just play the 2nd one and you'll be amazed. Uncharted 3 has quite some shoes to fill, good luck to Naughty Dog. Right now I've moved onto Demon's Souls, it's supposedly a really good RPG, 9.6 rating from a lot of places or something like that. I agree, although, as with everyone else, it's probably one of the most difficult games in the world.

I don't really grasp the concept yet, as I haven't experienced it, but when you die, you go into soul form, where you fight with half HP looking for your corpse, if you go to your corpse you can recover your body, if you die on the way to your corpse.. you lose all of your unspent EXP......(souls). If I die while in soul form.. I just press the PSN button and quit the game heh. So I only have like an hour recorded but I've probably already played 4 hours... Plus I hear there is a LOT of replayability

I think my favorite part about uncharted 2 was hanging from a sign and throwing a nade killing 4 people, riot shields were pretty fun too.

http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09...of-god-of-war/

God of War Ghost of Spart and God of War Chains of Olympus coming out on the PS3. Definitely a must have for God of War fans and action adventure gamers especially if you haven't played them. Looks fucking delicious.

By the way sycld, you know D3 has been pushed back to early '12?

Also have you seen the videos of day 9 playing diablo 3?

Didn't see this post.

Yes I know; I'm hoping against hope to get into beta before then...

I haven't seen that video; does it make the game seem promising or potentially disappointing?

I did read that DIII will support a wide range of systems: it'll take full advantage of higher end machines' capabilities while still remaining playable at low settings on older and very low end machines.

Well, you're missing out.
