Denis W. Veteran Posted March 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2010 Today's the day I stop being a solely PC-only gamer. A good friend of mine surprised me with a slim PS3 120 GB as a belated birthday gift. :woot: I'll see myself using this more for movies, but I wouldn't mind dabbling into some games on this side of the gaming world. What are some good first picks I should go with now, old or new? These days I play Valve's two shooters (Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2) on the PC most of the time, so some FPS picks would be good.

Livin in a box Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Bad Company 2, but please, don't buy COD- at least MW2 anyway. You should go for exclusives- Killzone 2, inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 (though you must plat the previous games!), God of War 3 (or the God of War Trilogy to get all the games in one) and look out for Gran Turismo 5 if you're into racing games as much as I and Audioboxer is.

The Teej Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 You should also try out Resistance 1 and 2. If you're into racing games I'd also give Burnout Paradise a rental just to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorwing Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 GOD of WAR III.. and Little Big Planet. OH and MGS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigapixels Veteran Posted March 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2010 I cannot recommend Uncharted 2 enough. Go buy it now. Oh no you didn't... Get a 360 to balance it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted March 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2010 Oh, snap. rm20010 + PS3 = :o My friend let me borrow his 2nd Xbox 360 (indefinitely) so I'm back to console gaming too. :p Anyway, here are some titles I strongly recommend: God of War III (get God of War I/II as well) Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (if your PC isn't powerful enough to handle it) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Killzone 2 Just a bit of warning though. It takes awhile to get used to a console FPS. You don't have the precision of a mouse and keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 God of War 1, 2 and 3. And the Uncharted series (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilo Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Bad Company 2, but please, don't buy COD- at least MW2 anyway. He does PC gaming as well. Why the hell would he gimp himself with a console version of Bad Company 2? I know he asked for FPS but seriously man... :wacko: Only FPS games you should play on console if you have a gaming PC are console exclusives like Killzone 2 or M.A.G. Lots of threads on this topic. I'd suggest reading through them. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPyro Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 You should also try out Resistance 1 and 2. If you're into racing games I'd also give Burnout Paradise a rental just to try it out. Rental? You could probably buy the game for that price :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted March 24, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks for your suggestions. I'll probably look at the exclusives mentioned above; I don't plan on coming off my PC gaming habits entirely, so people like Josh can calm down :p Any games will have to wait until post exam season, no buying any games now :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad. Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Uncharted 2 Heavy Rain God of War 1, 2 & 3 Final Fantasy? (I'm not fond of it, but I've seen my friend play it and it looks amazing) Killzone 2 Little Big Planet Rock Band :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Final Fantasy? (I'm not fond of it, but I've seen my friend play it and it looks amazing)Really? Watched my cousin play it, never been so bored in my life. All I saw was walking up to random creatures, and start "fighting" them. When I say "fighting" because you can't move, jump and all you can do is shoot lasers at it. I have never understood the FF appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hate to be a dick, but the next thread down is another "new PS3 what should I buy" thread. Why not read that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotenks98 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Definately GoW I, II and III. That to me was the main reason I got a ps3. Its well worth it for those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Try AC2 if you haven't got it on PC yet! I really liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frission Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Batman:AA if you didn't get it on PC Mirror's Edge (you can get a cheap used copy from gamefly or ebay) then, like everybody said, the exclusives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 God of War Trilogy (play I & II BEFORE GOWIII) Uncharted Series (Again, play 1 before 2) Heavy Rain Little Big Planet inFamous Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction * Metal Gear Solid 4 Killzone 2 Demon's Souls * MAG * Final Fantasy XIII I have not played the starred ones, but have heard great things. I'm still working on FF13 (God of War took my focus away). It is a great game, with one of the best battle systems yet in the FF series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
