I just bought a ps3 for a really good price (200 bucks for the console, the wires and fight night).... however Ive been a xbox supporter for a very long time, even though I had a ps1 and a ps2.... what would you recomend for my first game that I buy? Im not a big stealth person (so mgs would not be a good suggestion lol)

Valkyria Chronicles, Fallout 3, Ratchet and Clank, Fat Princess, SFIV, BlazBlue... the list goes on really. Why not try the recommendation thread on the top of the page for more advice?

I really don't wanna sound like a bastard but if you spend that kinda money on something, wouldn't you kinda do some research beforehand? If I didn't have a PS3 yet but was interested, I'd check what games I'd get before spending my cash, not buy the system first and not knowing what games to get.

Well Halo is more fun, and indeed Gears is awesome.

LittleBigPlanet is amazing, look into it a bit more before you buy it though ;)

Im mainly looking at exclusives, because most of my friends have xbox... so if the game is a non exclusive Ill just get it for xbox ( plus xbox live is alot better than psn, even though I have to pay for it) but Ive been looking at infamous and little big planet. Would anybody not recommend those?

i only like halo 1 on the pc, but overall i find killzone 2 more fun (i really dont like non ballistic weapons much), also K2 has the same heaviness present in gears (tho i only play it single player). LBP is cool, buts it not for everyone.

Little Big Planet is only good if you love being creative and creating/playing levels. You might want to rent Killzone 2 just in case. It got an over all good reception but from the sounds of things the game is kinda hard to get into, especially when it comes to aiming. Since you already have a 360 and most your friends have one I will make a list of PS3 exclusives you should try.

  • Metal Gear Solid 4
  • Resistance Fall of Man
  • Resistance 2
  • Valkyria Chronicles
  • Uncharted
  • Motorstorm
  • Motorstorm 2
  • Heavenly Sword
  • Ratchet and Clank Tools of destruction
  • Ratchet Quest for booty-PSN title
  • Fat Princess-PSN title
  • The Last Guy-PSN title
  • Folklore
  • Ninja gaiden Sigma
  • MLB The Show 09
  • Warhawk

Exclusives:

Valkyia Chronicles: Strategy RPG

LittleBigPlanet: Platformer

MGS4: Action and/or Stealth (Just letting you know)

Resistance 2: FPS

Killzone 2: FPS

Uncharted: Action/Adventure

Motorstorm Pacific Rift: Offroad Racing

Infamous: Action/Adventure

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction: Action/Platformer

Heavenly Sword: Hack and Slash Action

Ninja Gaiden Sigma: Hack and Slash Action

If you don't have a PC or Xbox 360 you might be interested in:

Bioshock, Dead Space and GTA IV

It all comes down to what genre your into. Watch Video reviews for the games, if you think they are intersting pick'em up.

I would recommend getting fighters on the PS3. What's so worth $50 dollars a year for live? The only thing that the 360 has is the cross game chat and that is not worth $50.

Well I also read the GS user scores, IGN reviews, and I subscribe to three magazines so I also read those reviews, so I have many other sources and don't just read one review of the game and depend solely on that as to if I should get a game or not. I research a game a lot before I get it as I don't like wasting money on games I don't like.

For your first game, Killzone 2 or LBP, It will really show off the PS3's capabilities, rather that getting a game like Saints Row 2 and going "OMG, its the same as the 360"

Next time please use the Game Recommendation Thread when looking for a new game to buy.
