for racers there are different types. Gran Turismo 5 prologue for the realistic type, Motorstorm and Burnout out for the arcade type. Although Motorstorm 2 will be out later this fall with better features and more tracks then the orginal.
As for action adventure there is Ratchet and Clank. A bit easy but has a charm that you won't be able to resist and the replay value is pretty good. The different weapons are pretty cool and it's graphics look like a pixar film.
Uncharted Drake's Fortune. It is another action adventure game, but it is more of a 3rd person shooter with action adventure elements. It is a bit on the short side with the replay value being good. You can earn cheats by doing certain things such as killing a certain amount of guys with certain weapons or using hand to hand combat on them and that sort. Some of the cheats you get aren't that cool. I would say its at least worth 2 play throughs. There are 4 different difficulty settings with crushing being unbearable.
Folklore is an action RPG also on the short side, but the story is amazing even though there isn't a whole lot of flash and voice acting. It is cool to try out the different monsters and see which ones can make the coolest combos.
Shooters, There is the launch game that is still great today Resistance Fall of Man. 15-20 hour story mode plus pretty cool online although with the recent new on resistance 2, This and a lot of other shooters wil become outdated somewhat.
UT3, if you like things fast with some pretty good graphics along with cool weapons get this game. It is online only and shows a bit of age in terms of game modes offered, but it is still cool to play and shouldn't be missed, most people on here will say it sucks though
Haze a political shooter about a guy that joins a company which uses drugs to enhance life, but he finds out that these drugs alter the perception of reality and so he then is forced to make a choice about his own life. The graphics are not that good, but to be able to play 2 different styles of shooting in one game and with the addition of 4 player online co-op as well as fast twitch multiplayer Should be enough to entertain you for quite awhile. (there is a lot hatred and negativity towards this game based off the demo)
Call of Duty 4, Futuristic warfare. It features both single player and multiplayer modes. In the multiplayer you can get level ups and earn perks such as customized weapons and so on. This is the most populated online game on PS3, so if you want to get online and blow people away, this is the game to do it.
There is also a number of other shooters on the PS3 and more coming.
Killzone 2 There is a lot of hype surrounding this game because of it's graphical presentation. It does look good, but if you ask me the gameplay seems rather "done that before" kind of thing. It does feature a first person cover system where you can lean and so on. There is also a feature where you can help a teammate by giving them a hand to climb over something to a spot they can't reach. It all sounds neat, but we will have to wait until February 2009 to see how it turns out.
The PSN is pretty good. It is free of charge to use but doesn't have all the features of the 360 such as in game functions like music playingm messaging and chatting. At the end of the year though, PS3 should have all of these features
