Folklore is definitely worth playing- it's a very nice looking action/ rpg with a somewhat twisty storyline. There are add ons available from the PlayStation Store that add quests/ alternate costumes to extend things a bit. Other games to recommend would be Ratchet & Clank Future, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Warhawk (all online play in this one). Others will no doubt suggest Call of Duty 4 and Resistance- good choices if into the first person shooter. For upcoming games there is Haze, Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Hot Shots Golf 5 (hey, can't be all guns and blood all the time ;) ) and a number of others I don't have the time to mention.

Look, I own a Wii too and I got3 words, "not worth it", the system was fun on the first week, but after thatwas so boring, The last time I played my Wii was for half week in november when Resident Evil was released, endup the game was cr** also, so do your self a favor and get a PS3, but I would sell your Wii on ebay where you can get way more money than trading and like Lyndon said, Uncharted, Ratched & Clank, Warhawk, Folklore, Resistance, Motorstorm and many other great great games.

I've got a Wii and I hardly play it. I'd have to say that after I beat Mario, I have not touched it. I would not trade your system in just yet though. To get the maximum amount from it, I would throw it up on eBay...

Even though most will disagree, I really got into the story of Assassin's Creed. That is definitely worth at least a rent.

Dude I have a Wii and PS3 and they are sitting next to each other and the last time I turned my Wii on was to play Super Mario which lasted for like an hour and I havn't played the game since! I'll eventually sell my Wii sooner then later...PS3 for the win!

They have warhawk and high velocity bowling as fun wltiplayer games tat you can download. plus they add more pretty frequently i'd say. I wold get it soon because you can have it just in time for devil may cry 4. also lost planet is coming in march. you could also buy uncharted, rachet and clan, folklore and enjoy that. Those are just a few of the games i can vouch for. Also get resistance for the coop multiplayer. That game is awesome with the multiplayer. Plus there is more too but i don't have the time to write about it.

Iv owned a ps3 and Wii pretty much since they launched. The ps3 gets a lot more play time, i just think its a better system. I have zelda, wario, metal slug, madden , galaxy and medal of honour for the wii and i really dont play any of them, i just cant get into them. I primarily use the Virtual Console on the Wii. If you like classic old games then dont sell the wii, thats the only reason i keep it. If it wasnt for the VC i think i would have sold it long time ago. PS3 on the other hand has sweet graphics, online (yes people do use mic's quite a bit online), downloadable games that are cheaper than VC games(a ps1 games on PSN cost about the same as a NES game on the VC). PS3 also has bluray which is a nice feature.

games i recomend on ps3:

Uncharted

Unreal Tournament (its awsome with a M+K)

Formula 1 (if u like simulation racing games, this game is hardcore)

COD4

Resistance

Motorstorm

Fight Night 3

Fifa 08

Tiger Woods 08

Oblivion

Super Stardust HD (PSN game)

I felt the the same way about my Wii sold it and bought a PS3 saturday. Do it you wont be sorry, and get Resistence and Uncharted. Resistence has multiplayer and Uncharted has the best story and gameplay and graphics and... well you get the point. And a must have is COD4 that is the best game of the year unles you have it for 360 already.

I kinda want a wii for mario galaxy, the zelda games, mario kart and smash brothers. As for good multiplayer games for ps3. If you have internet then i'd go with warhawk's four player split screen online mode. Resistance has 2 player coop offline campaign mode. COD4 is single player online split screen offline. COD4 is super intense though and for some reason you don't get too upset with dying alot cause the game is so fun. Folklore is good but not for a rental I think. I'm renting it now and i'm regreting the fact that I have to return it soon. The karma upping of folks makes it a good game to spend time in each area. Uncharted was super fun and I highly recommend it. Assassin's is iffy. Really interesting game mechanics but gets pretty dull sometimes. A rental I think just to see if you'd like to buy it. Oblivion people say looks great and can take over your life if you want a long game.

The Wii is BORING. I honestly don't know whats so good about it (ok.. it was kinda fun at first).. but i've tried alot of games and they are boring(like Trauma Center andthat one Zelda game)Its for kids and casual game players (i.e. really old people and girls).

The cooler thing about the PS3 audience is that the owners are usually in their twenties and thirties.

Oh yea... don't trade it in, throw it up on ebay and watch the money roll in (i made about $200 profit when It first came out).

I own both a Wii and a PS3, got my Wii at launch and have been having a blast with it since, just got the PS3 and I'm enjoying. However if your getting turned off to gaming in general, why would you go buy a more expensive console. Dont listen to people here, they just want to sell another console for Sony. If your losing interest in gaming, dont buy more consoles your just wasting money.

THat you won't find on Wii:

Unreal Tournament III, Folklore, Warhawk, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4, and Elder Scrolls IV. Definitely get Elder Scrolls IV.

Exactly, in the long run the Wii just can't cut it for people who aren't just occasional gamers and don't do it as a hobby.

IMO its not even a hobby machine, people moan about play time, but epic 6 - 8 hour games are great for casual gamers. Yeah when i got it last christmas, Wii Sports was great at night when everyone played, but i like playing online, i like having epic stories, idont play 40 hours a week, but that doesnt mean i dont want quality production games. It took me until i got my Wii score on Wii Sports Tennis to 2347 to realise that it wasnt fufilling anymore :P

I would disagree, with that I am definently a hardcore gaming and I the system. It has its share of casual material, but that is a trend you will soon find on all consoles. Not to mention Nintendo first party material is second to none. But hey thats the reason I have both, there will be games that dont appear on both, like No More Heroes, Brawl, and Disaster, and the PS3 front Soul Calibur, MGS4, and Prototype.
