I was given a PS3 for Christmas and I've just shelled out for Gran Turismo 5. Currently I'm still offline - my router and broadband connection is one floor upstairs and it's not wireless so I need to work out how to get that sorted but in the meantime I'd like to know what games I should be looking at. What do you recommend?
Uncharted Drake's fortune.. definitely! Have you played any of the multiplatform games on the Xbox or PC? If not, then games like GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption are absolutely brilliant. For a larger selection of recommendations, see the GameRankings top games list... http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=ps3&cat=0&year=0&numrev=0&sort=0&letter=&search=
depends what kind of games you like really. both uncharted games, and god of war (1/2/3) are almost always a sure thing. If you are willing to wait a couple of weeks, Little Big planet 2 will be coming out, which should be good (the demo showed some great potential) Demons' souls. As you have probably heard, it's f**king hard. The levels themselves are excellent, and at just the right level of difficulty (hard, but doable if you are tactical) boss fights are a nightmare however. If you have kids/young siblings Katamari is always good for a laugh. Blazblue is good if you like beat'em ups Yakuza 3 is very good, sort of a JPRG and GTA hybrid.
Burnout Paradise, Uncharted 2, Assassins Creed Brotherhood, Red Dead Redemption, Bayonetta, Wipeout HD, Brutal Legend, Heavy Rain. Singstar and Buzz are good for a laugh party games with a few people round.
A lot of great suggestions in these! Check them all out and go with ones that appeal to your tastes the most. The only game I own which isn't included in these lists is MW2, and it was a gift.
Get Demon's Souls. It's a brutally challenging old school RPG and it's a PS3 exclusive. If you are an RPG fanboy this game is a must have.
Killzone 2 no doubt It will take you some time to get used to the controls but it is proberly the best FPS on the consoles.
COD Black ops. May I recommend taking at look at powerline networking to connect your router to PS3, when it works, it's great!! By the way, prepare to download half the internet, once GT5 gets a chance to go online!
Killzone 2 is great fun! i wore it out in about a week after playing it so long online but if you play it slow pace its really good
