PS3 - what games should I pick up?

Sarni

After finding out that PS3 is region-free for most games, I'll pick up a system and a few games at local GameStop store tomorrow. I'm planning on spending about 200$ to 300$ on games.

Can anybody who's in possession of PS3 or has played a few of its games recommend me some titles that are worth buying?

Uncharted is a must-have from what I've heard, so is GT5 prologue. What about other the rest?

Mgs 4. Devil May Cry as well in my opinion... but I dont think thats everyones cup of tea, is quite repetitive.

The good thing about dollar costing about two times less than 2 years ago is that now I can buy a lot more stuff when I'm in the USA than I would have bought back then.

Has MGS4 been released already? I think they have it listed as a pre-order there.

Call of Duty 4 - get online and waste your life away.

Oblivion - Lord of the Rings-esque game, a layered game but absolutely brilliant.

GTA - feeling anarchistic?

I would wait for the new Pro Evo though.

MGS4 - Simply the best game out at the moment.
Uncharted - Superb game, beautiful graphics.
Resistance - Excellent single player campaign and online keeps you going aswell.
COD4 - Best online game out there.
RSV & RSV2 - Both superb games and both superb online aswell, more tactical than COD4, and more satisfying.
Warhawk - Fast, intense online action.
Ratchet & Clank - Just one hell of a fun game!
GT5 Prologue - Best racing sim out there, graphically stunning.

Those should keep you in good stead for a few months untill more big hitters come out. Check out the PS Store as there are a few good games on there aswell, most cost a fiver at most.

And if you have a HDTV, get a few Blu-Ray movies!!

Once you've got your online account set up, post your online ID and we'll get a few games going

FIFA 08

an 09 when it comes out

I had RSV for my 360, same goes for GTA4. Both excellent games, but no point in playing them over again.

Uncharted is really a game I'm looking forwad too. They do have MGS4 already as well, so I'll be buying it definitely.

The price for the system and games is awesome as well. Top Spin is my another choice, solely for multiplayer purposes.

Any decent sports games released yet?

Sarni

Will talk to you after the weekend. Does it have a wireless adaptor? I have a wireless network set up at this place.

The PS3 has built in Wi-Fi, so if you have wireless you'll be good to go. Creating an account takes no time aswell.

Younited.7

Yes it has a wireless thing already inside the machine - brilliance.

People rave about FIFA 08 but I think it is still not as good as previous Pro Evo's, so both football games have disappointed me so far. Hopefully FIFA 09 and PES09 will be improvements.

Sarni

Sorry, I was writing a post when you posted and didn't edit. Take no offence mate, I saw your post.

Yeh but you smoke pot.

Believe me FIFA 08 is better than PES6 and PES 5.

esmufc07

In your opinion, not in mine

KeyserSoze

esmufc07 are you not into the Devil May Cry series? I think im the only one who likes it.

Outside of Japan of course.

esmufc07

Yes and no. I really enjoyed 1 & 3, 2 was a bit of a let down if I'm being honest.

However 4 was just 'more of the same' and didn't really offer any major changes game-play wise. Was still a good game, but it became rather boring after a few hours.

They should have done to DMC4 what they did to Resident Evil 4, give it a complete re-vamp and refresh the series. Hopefully they will do it with number 5.

RedDevil#26655

I dont see why offence would be taken

Sarni

For my pure ignorance of your post.

1871_Biscuit

Tell me your reason's.

Stemmy

Don't know so much about sports games....i have tiger woods 08 and fifa 08....both are really more of the same with better graphics on HD

Uncharted is a must if you ask me.....i was never into those types of games before but that in fairness blew me away.there were times i just stopped playing and enjoyed the view the graphics were that beautiful....however if you play it make sure you have HD to get the full effect.

Gran tourismo 5 prologue is also a must if you like racing games(however i'm biased as the GT series has been my favourite for years)

COD4 is another brilliant game, the best first person shooter out there and online its just hours of fun....single player has some levels which are so different(the sniper mission for one)

never played MGS but i heard the new one is very good.they were never really my type of games but maybe since uncharted changed my opion of third person games i might give it a shot.

Warhawk online is good fun but is purely multiplayer.

There are obviously more out there but these are what games i have and played bar 1 or 2 of em which aint worth mentioning and will be traded in for the next game i'm getting

Do me a favour and shut up. FIFA 08 is the first DECENT FIFA game of the series and it's still far far behind the gameplay that pro evo gave us and is still giving us right now. Admittedly pro evo 2008 wasn't an improvement on pro evo 6 but pro evo 2008 on ps2>>>>>>>>>>FIFA 08 on any console. I'll admit that pro evo hasn't lived up to its ps2 rep on the next gen consoles but the gameplay is still far more realistic and free flowing than FIFA 08 on the next gen consoles. The only EA football game that seems to even have good GAMEPLAY is euro 2008.

Sarni, if you like graphics, licenced teams and ridiculous skills then go for FIFA 08 but if you want GAMEPLAY and your ps3 is backward compatiable then buy one of the older pro evos that came out on the ps2.


























oh 1871, the emoticons were all in good nature, don't take offence. I just get annoyed when people write absolute rubbish when someone wants advice on buying something.

RedKaos

A good list, but you've heavily exaggerated the descriptions. MGS4 is not the best game out there and its not for everyone. GT5 prologue isnt the best sim since its basically a watered down game. And Uncharted, while being a very good game, is also quite short so its only worth a rent.

Oblivion - There is no excuse for not getting this. It can be picked up for very little money and is probably still the best next-gen game out there, despite being over 2 years old already. Be sure to pick up the expansions too, or alternavely the game of the year edition which comes with the lot already. The graphics are beautiful and i can guarantee that you will not do everything that there is to do in the game. Get it.

FIFA 2008 - This is the best football game i've played. It's still worth getting even if the new is coming out in a few months. The online play is pretty much flawless and the satisfaction you get out of the game is simply
enormous.

Final Fantasy 13 and Versus - I don't think Square-Enix will disappoint again here after the absolutely collosal let down that went by the name of FF12. These two games are visually stunning and are certain to have a fantastic soundtrack and storyline. I may end up getting a PS3 just for these two.

buy the ps3 then buy some car games and assassins creed and then give it all to me

WeasteDevil

This is one of the most stupid things I've ever seen you write up to this point, and that's saying something.
