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.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
