About to buy a PS3, recommend me some games!

[Swarly]

My xbox just broke... AGAIN, and my warranty expired. Tired of it breaking every few months so I'm switching to the PS3.

I figure I'll get the basics in CoD, NBA 2k11, Madden, but I know that PS3 has a lot of sick exclusive games that I haven't heard of. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Also, does anyone have a PS3 Move? I think I'm going to get this too and was wondering if it's accurate or if it's really laggy?

killzone my friend.

I've owned one in the past and it seemed more stable overall than the Xbox, albeit I had one of the old 40 Gig models. There is apparently some kind of hacking thing going on, might want to Google and look into that.

Both Uncharted games are must owns, God of War 3 is great if you like those. Metal Gear Solid 4 was awesome, the plot is ridiculous at times though. Little Big Planet is good, haven't tried the second one. Also suggest you look into Demons Souls.

Have not tried the Move so I'll leave that to someone else.

Find an old model. Not as prone to overheating. Apparently you keep your console where it can't stay cool.

Def should try uncharted 1 and 2.. also if u like baseball you gotta check out mlb the show '10 or '11 that's coming in a few weeks.

[c0r]

yep, mlb the show 11 comes out march 8.

heavy rain is good as well.

Another vote for the Uncharted games.

Ive had both the xbox 360 and the ps3. i think that you will be happy with the ps. not only is it 100 times less likeley to blow up on you, but it is also a more powerful machine. i accually wish that xbox would go out of business, because i am tired of gaming companies dumbing down the games for ps3 so that they can make them for the xbox too.

its hard to recommend games for you without knowing which genre you are into. check out one of the gaming sites like IGN.com to see how the games are rated. they have a rating for every game out there for every platform, and the ratings are pretty accurate 95% of the time.

just go to the site, and sort out the games based on rating, and you will get an idea of the best games for the platform.

Then why do they almost always make the Xbox version first? Multiplatform games are never as good as exclusives. Mario/Halo/LBP are unique to their own systems.

You realize how much the Xbox has pushed console gaming, right? Funny the PS2 didn't have a HDD, HD capabilities or a network adapter until the original Xbox was released.

The opposite is true of this generation, but Sony took a very stupid risk by depending on unproven technology in the PS3. I'm glad it paid off for them, but I bet they won't do it again anytime soon.

this. they can burn out. make sure there's adequate vent space behind it.

uncharted 1&2, Demons Souls, Little Big Planet

How has there been no mention of Infamous? We're already 11 posts deep.

Anyway: Infamous.

Microsoft $$$$$

Activision is a microsoft nut hugger. That's why Black Opps is a port from the Xbox version as well as why xbox got the new maps a month before ps3. Finally microsoft would love to push everyone away from ps3 and into a xbox.

Killzone 3 launches Feb 22, looks to be pretty good. BFBC2, even though it's been out a while, but that means you can probably find it cheap.

another ps3 exclusive to look into is the gran turismo series..the new GT5 is pretty amazing.

thanks for the recommendations folks

and yeah, as for the baseball question, one of the biggest reasons I'm getting a PS3 is because everyone I've spoken to has said MLB the show is probably one of the best sports games out there. I'd LOVE to get MLB10 but since MLB11 is right around the corner I guess I'll have to wait lol.
