It depends on the hookups that are available to you on the back of your HDTV. Essentially, there are two types: component and HDMI. The difference is arguable, but if you have a 1080p (Full HD) TV then I would say pick up an HDMI cable. A word of advice though, dont buy any HD cable from a retail store, order online. Cables are much much much cheaper online than in-store. You can usually pick up component or HDMI cables from, say, Amazon for roughly $3-$10 whereas buying them in-store you'd be paying at least $30. Hope that helps!

You won't be disappointed! Unless you like really long games...but it has a lot of replay value with trophies and treasures etc.

I'm needing a game that'll keep me busy until Far Cy 2 comes out. Should I get Uncharted: Drake's Fortune?

It was under $40 last time I saw it at Wal-Mart. Is that a good deal?

Racer_XLR

It's a great deal. You will more than likely want to play it 2+ times also.

Thinking of getting Armored Core 4/For Answer since the only game I have is MGS4, is either of the game worth it? I kinda like customizing mechs and being able to play split screen with a friend. But I'm having second thoughts since I saw on the review that very few people play online. Also, which of the AC game is the better one, prices aside?

So I am getting a PS3 on the week of Oct. 23 and I was wondering as a starter PS3 owner what should be the first game I get. I was thinking LBP seeing as it's gotten great reviews and has online. I was also thinking about MGS4. Just please recommend some good games. I already have GTAIV for the 360.

I very much agree with you, Little Big Planet will be a great buy, I'm waiting on it myself.

It really depends on what kind of a gamer you are.

I have to recommend Metal Gear Solid 4 as it's truly a masterpiece. There are quite a few others to chose from:

This link will help you out:

There are a few good upcoming games to look forward to as well.

I'm looking for a good shooter with good offline multiplayer (can't have online yet) with "CPU" players for deathmatches, team deathmatches, flag and stuff like that. You know, Mario Kart style (which is a great game, by the way). You get the point.

(I was interested in CoD4, is it any good?)

COD4 doesn't have offline cpu players (excluding the story obviously) and I haven't got any shooters that do at the moment, I'm sure there are some though.

Oh, and I love mario kart too :P

Since Resistance 2 and Gears 2 come out right next to each other is there really any reason to get both. I was thinking just getting Gears 2 and saving my money seeing as I really only need one multiplayer game to occupy my time. What do you think?

Do you have Guitar Hero?! Its packed full of single player and multiplayer fun aswell as a pretty good online feature.

If you do, what kind of genre are you looking towards?! FPS, RPG, Racing?

Hi. The only ones out with bots right now are UT3 and Haze. Personally I'm not to big on either. Killzone 2 will have bots when it's released and that looks like it is going to be a lot better. But if you have to get one now I would go with UT3.

I have:

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Grand Theft Auto IV.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Resistance: Fall of Man.

Is there any game out/coming out that I should look at? I prefer action adventure games and role playing games, actually the only type of games I don't really care for is sports and racing.

Fallout 3? Should be a great great game.

Coming out (before december): Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, Lord of The Rings. If you like shooters, maybe Bioshock, Resistance 2, Quantum of Solace (James Bond). There's also Farcry 2 and Dead Space.
