Just wondering what the Neowin PS3 Community can recommend as 'must-have' titles for the PS3! Just got mine for Christmas, and I'm looking at buying a few extra games, like 2-3, hopefully at marked down prices because they're not new releases.

So far I have MW2 and Ratchet and Clank, and will probably end up getting Fallout 3. Any other suggestions? I'd like at least one other game with a great MP as well.

Depends on your taste. If you are into racing games, definitely have some spare cash for GT5. If you have extra spare cash, you may want to whet your appetite with the Prologue Version out now (Sorry, avid fan of GT and simulation racing games in general). It have online as well.

Definitely take a look at Uncharted 2, the original is also a stellar game in its day, and it still matches up to what is on offer now. It should be dirt cheap. Call of Duty 4 also have people still playing online. And I say is worth playing BOTH Modern Warefare, COD4 has arguably better online maps than MW2.

If you are looking into Fallout 3, definitely take a look at Elders Scroll: Oblivion. Get the Game of the Year edition if you can.

Otherwise, it depends on tastes really. Dragon Age, Demons Soul, Valkyria Chronicles is worth a look for the RPG fan. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (and original), Devil May Cry 4, and Bayonetta (English version out soon I think) is almost definitely quality games if you are into action games of the sword slashing variety with good difficulty. Of course, Tekken 6 is a good game to have on hand if you sometimes have mates over, or Soul Calibur. Both of these arcade style games also have online.

Other older titles you may want to look at is Metal Gear Solid 4 and Folklore. Hakuna Matata/Afrika may be dated now but is a good PS3 show off game (could you get it locally in US? If not and if you could find cheap import, remember to buy Hakuna version as it also in English)

You likely won't find it marked down, but Uncharted 2 is a brilliant and amazing game with great online MP, as many many people will likely tell you.

Yes, I've noticed in all the lurking I've done that UC:2 virtually receives universal praise. It's $50 on Amazon, so I could consider it. That still leaves room for around 2 other cheaper games.

I'm more into the shooting/sports games, might be looking into checking out the RPG scene as well.

Valkyria Chronicles, epicly under-appreciated.

PSN has a ton of good content, at bitesize prices, I'd maybe start there. If you like Pool get Hustle Kings it's god damn awesome. Warhawk is on sale right now as well and still has a big community, albeit most of them will be regulars and probably own you.

I like titties too. I'd like to get my hand's on Selma Hyak's.

Ahaha, I thought the same thing when I saw the thread title.

Anyways, I'm going to give (another) shout out for WipEout HD. I've poured more hours into that game than any other PS3 game by far. Easily one of the best racing games I've ever played, my favorite PS3 game (even more than UC2 and MGS4), and it shouldn't be very expensive by this point (it never was, in fact). Note that it's a digital download and not a physical disk.

And LOL at sonicstylz. Love that list. The US government ought to be using those games to torture terror suspects. ;)

too hard for you? :rofl:

[Completely off topic, my apologies] That game is actually in a fantastic position come to think of it. Whenever anybody throws any amount of criticism in DS's direction, the sure-fire reply is always: "oh you couldn't handle it eh?". I wonder if there are a lot of people who are afraid to speak up for fear of being labelled as noobs. Just a random though, and a haven't played the game yet, so....

[slightly more on topic] I'm trying to think of an MP game since you said you wanted one, but it's pretty tough to think of any "must-play" multiplayer games on the PS3 (apart from MW2 which you already listed). My buddies and I have been getting a lot of play out of NHL 10, but if you're not a fan of the NHL, then no amount of convincing is going to make you like it ;). Perhaps just keep your eyes peeled for Bad Company 2 next year.

You guys are missing the point that Sethos was just trying to **** with AB and his love for DS.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
