Just ordered a PS3 to go along with the new 50 inch TV we just got. Mainly got it for Blue-Ray....haven't been a real heavy gamer in the past. Last system I bought was the Gamecube....and my favorite game for that system was Resident Evil 4....actually, I think that's about the best FPS game I've ever played.

So I'm looking to pick up a similar calibur game for the PS3. Just been reading some reviews and came up with the 3 titles above. One other one that might look interesting is condemned.....I kinda like the survival/horror genre like Resident Evil.

Not really concerned about on-line play. Just want something that has some good action, maybe a somewhat decent story, some unpredictable moments, will take awhile to get through and has some decent replay value. And I'm not a "role-playing" game fan.

I wish Resident Evil 5 were out.....that would clearly be my choice if it were. But it might be another year before that shows up.

So looking for some thoughts on any of the games I've mentioned....or if there is a glaring ommission, please feel free to mention something else.

Sorting leaning toward Resistance at this point....although Uncharted looks pretty interesting as well. COD4 does look like a solid game....but I guess I haven't been a huge fan of traditional Army games.

I also don't buy alot of games. Maybe 1 or two a year and that's about it. When I buy games, they've gotta be good.

So would appreciate some thoughts for what will probably be my first PS3 game. And I'm hoping it to be something that makes me say "Wow", just like Resident Evil did when I played it on the Gamecube.

Or if you don't think any of these games will do that, I could always just play Guitar Hero and Madden until RE 5 comes out.

Cod4 is great, and has tons of replay value and great multiplayer community.

Why not try GTA 4 when thats out next week. Uncharted is good but lasts about a week so i wouldnt recomend that much, resistence is awesome and quite cheap now aswell. COD4 is great online but the 1player isnt as good as resistence 1 player.

If i were you id get GTA and resistence pre owned...Have fun!

Cheap is good...Personally, I hate dropping $50 for a game.

I also don't anticipate playing on-line a whole lot. Mainly, I just want to sit down and play a single player game that is going to captivate me a little.

I thought Resident Evil was cool because it had alot of free-roaming adventure play, gun variations, some varied boss battles and also had good replay value with some "deathmatch" style mini-games that could be unlocked and also with additional guns you could get the second time through. Also had some cool creatures/monsters.

Can't wait for RE 5 to come.....

Sounds like Resistance might be the best choice for now.

How is Condemned? Should I be considering that?

Condemned and Uncharted are more of rental. Personally I think Uncharted is awesome but you can finish it in like 9 hours.
