I too have bought a PS3. My current-gen collection is complete.
Cyberxion | 6:56 PM on 06.08.2009 25 comments


So, wow. I haven't been 'round this place forever. Last I checked in, I had just bought a 360. The thing came down with a nasty case of RRoD a few months after I bought it, and so I was out of the game for a bit. Early this year I replaced that son of a bitch with a new unit, and so far it has performed admirably. So far. I know it's death is as inevitable as my own, so I know that it's just a matter of time before I'm boxing this bad boy up and sending it to Microsoft, but I'm cool with that. So far it's working great and I couldn't be happier.

Well apparently I could be. As much as I love my 360, and I do, I wasn't content with owning just that and a Wii. I had to complete my collection of current-gen systems. Why? I have no clue. Maybe it's just the freedom of choice that owning all three systems allows that motivated me, or maybe it's that I'm still a geeky gamer at heart and had to have 'em all because I'm finally in a place financially to afford it. Whatever motivated me to do it, I am now the proud owner of a shiny new 40GB PS3.

So here I am once again, asking you folks for opinions on what I should check out for the thing. I've got Street Fighter IV and Soul Calibur IV for my fighting game needs, and I have Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction because I'm an unapologetic fan of the series. Beyond that, my shelf is looking a little bare. So help me out folks. What would you suggest that I look into? I'm pretty open to games of all genres as long as your suggestions are good examples of their respective genres. For example, I'm not a huge FPS fan, but if you suggest to me a must-play FPS, I'm more than willing to give it a look.

So have at it!

why did I think you were unangbangkay for a moment?

any way welcome to the land of the black obilisk's, get valkyria chronicles, and I have SC4 and SF4 so feel free to challenge me, you could challenge y0J1mb0 in SF4....................... he probably needs someone new to torture at this point. were currently running around and rearranging everyones face in red faction , and i'll be picking up blaze blue at the end of the month.

And if you really need a shooter get killzone 2 if only to participate in the great alpha vs beta ego war were currently waging.

Uncharted is my personal pick for the best game on the PS3, but you can't go wrong with any of the games the fine folks above me recommended.
IronPikeman's Destructoid Blog
I recommend:

Killzone 2
Valkyria Chronicles
Little Big Planet
Infamous
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

If you're into JPRG's go with:

Cross Edge
Disgaea 3
nakedstud's Destructoid Blog
i cant believe nobody mentioned resistance 2. great arcade style fps shooter with awesome 60 player online
The Pat Man's Destructoid Blog
Congratz on getting a PS3. All the games mentioned above are amazing (even Killzone 2 which you should give a shot just for the fun multiplayer) and it would be redundant to repeat what has already been said, but meh. I would highly recommend Uncharted. Also would recommend Warhawk. I've only played the demo of Warhawk, but it's another must get game. Hell, it was fun enough that I've spend a few hours on the demo alone. I plan on getting it myself but I needs the cash.

Anyways, if you want a more slower online multiplayer game, I would recommend SOCOM: Confrontation. I'm not a huge SOCOM fan, but the game was a nice change of pace instead of just the average actiony multiplayer game. In ranked matches you only get one life per round so you have to be very careful, so it reinforces the idea of teamwork which I like. Not sure if you have a headset or not yet for your PS3. If you don't, get the SOCOM official Sony headset bundle. You get a very reliable bluetooth headset and a good game to boot. And it's only just costs a little bit more than getting the headset alone.

Feel free to add me. PSN: Patmann2009
ikiryou's Destructoid Blog
Keep your eyes peeled for MAG, when/if it's ever released. Killzone 2 is currently the best FPS for the money if you're into multiplayer gaming, but you'll need to find people to team up with to get the most out of the squad action [read: medic!]. inFamous is a nice little PS3 exclusive as is Valkyria Chronicles. The latter will take away much of your life, though:/
ikiryou's Destructoid Blog
I forgot to mention Unreal Tournament III for the PS3 - they've added a buttload of free DLC for the PC and PS3 versions. And the game can be found for $20 or less in some places [Target for example]. Oh, and Folklore, one of the best PS3 [RPG] exclusives out there. Sorry, there's actually a lot out for the PS3...
Corak's Destructoid Blog
In no specific order. Uncharted, Killzone 2, and LBP are probably my personal exclusive favorites on the console. Also if Heavenly Sword is out there on the cheap I'd suggest that if you like a decent GOW type game.
Brlito's Destructoid Blog
PS# HAZ NO GAMES LAWL.

Seriously though, PSN, great selection, good prices.

Also; just go to a retail store and check on the selection, it's 1AM in Toronto and I'm way too tired to list all the great games I have and would recommend for PS3. I'll just name one;

Saints Row 2, awesome, balls to the walls, what GTA4 should have been, comedy action awesome.

Fuck, I just remembered that I wrote this. I moved last month, rather unexpectedly, and haven't been able to buy games since. I'll look into some of your suggestions as things clear up here in the next month.

Thanks for the input folks. :)

about me

* I'm a jaded asshole with a chip on his shoulder and an overinflated sense of self-importance. I'm also notoriously lacking in the ability to let shit slide, so take that as a warning should you take it upon yourself to act like a dick-hole around me. I can dance all day motherfuckers.

* I have an old-school love of old-school games.

* I don't consider myself to be a hardcore gamer, if only because the term 'hardcore gamer' comes off like an elitist badge made for jerk-holes, so lacking in social skills that they can afford to spend the time and cash required to earn the label. Maybe that's not what it truly means, but we're all brought together by a love of the hobby, so fuck the bullshit labels and the horse they rode in on.

* I once killed a man just to watch him die. Then I skull-fucked the corpse.

* I'm still holding out hope that one day the Wii's potential will be met. Until then it's merely an interesting diversion.

* I'm a fan of gaming in all of it's forms, and think that being brand-loyal to the point of bias is silly, and gets in the way of truly enjoying the hobby.

* I don't have anything else to put here now, but can't stop typing these stupid bullet-points.

Anyway, all that aside, I'm just here to have a good time. Any like-minded individuals can feel free to add me to their friend's lists.
