New to Gamespot and soon to be a PS 3 Owner

Welcome! Check out Dead Space - it's somewhat similar to Doom in that you're going down corridors and being attacked by alien monsters. It starts out relatively easy and gets harder as you go. You can upgrade your weapons and armor. I absolutely loved it, I think most people do.

welcome to gamespot and congratulations on deciding to get a ps3. you won't be disappointed. being a new owner, i suggest buying some of the games you missed out on not only for the experience, but because they are cheap. for example; metal gear solid 4 is $17 used. if you like fps's try killzone 2, resistance: fall of man, or modern warfare 2.

lol after goty 2009 i believe every things from GS

uncharted 2 :(

Wolfenstein is deliciously gory at times. It's a good blend of Nazi shooting and the supernatural. There's also a novel anti-grav effect, which kicks in every now and then. It makes the game play fun.

Resistance 1 and 2 are good sci-fi shooters.The second one has bigger set pieces, monsters, and a greater sense of urgency. It's not as forgiving as the first one though.

Dead Space is just beautifully creepy. It's the closest thing to the Doom experience. The second one is coming out soon methinks.

Fear 1 & 2 follow the supernatural theme again. Big scares, a powerful, evil force in the form of a little girl, alternate reality and lots of gore. The game relies on checkpoint systems and doesn't allow the player to manually save. (A good ol' school-esque gaming experience.)

1st off congrats on your ps3 purchase and welcome to gs. a LOT has changed since doom, but i am from that era as well and i will do my best to help ya out.

mgs4 - if your from the doom era, chances are youve played one of these games. get this one, youll thank us all. still one of the best games ive played this gen. its 3rd person, but it is truly one of the greatest games ever made. awesome sp and severely underrated mp. and this game is really cheap right now.

dead space - no online, but youll see a lil of doom in it. once again its 3rd person, but its totally immersive and the scariest game to play in the dark with the surround sound cranked up at 3 am by yourself... this gen. also very cheap right now.

killzone2 - this is why you bought your ps3. if you like fps's this is the one. i personally cant stand the fps genre (gun barrels bouncing make me nauseous) but i own this game. some of the best graphics, physics, and sound youll hear on the ps3. i use this game to show mine off actually.

uncharted 2 - i didnt really care much for the 1st one, but this one will pull you right in. its an amazing game and example of what this gens all about. great online as well. within the first minute of the opening sequence you will be satisfied with your purchase.

dark sector - i know im gonna catch a cpl flames for it but hear me out. this guy has been out for a minute. this game will feel a lil like home. plus using the glaive with the sixaxis is something any old school gamer will appreciate. i got this game for $15 a year ago, so im sure its a cheap find.

theres plenty more, i could go on. but these are the titles i would check out first...with the exception of ds, that was just an obscure one that i knew nobody would mention.
