So my boyfriend recently got a PS3, the new small model, and he hasn't really gone outside of playing Call of Duty or the first Uncharted yet.

So his birthday is on Tuesday and was looking through Craigslist.

I can either get him Resistance 2 + Killzone 2 Limited Edition for $50 or gethim Uncharted 2 for $45.

So, which would you guys rather have, Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2?

Thanks for any opinions.

well, you can actually get him older (and cheaper games) like Metal Gear Solid 4 (around $30 now NEW, obviously cheaper when used), Batman Arkham Asylum, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2.

I Would go with Uncharted 2 since he owns the first.

Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 is also a good choice but I think he will get more enjoyment out of Uncharted 2.

Get him Uncharted 2. Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 are two FPS games that are good, but more along the lines of weekend rental. Or get him MW2 for a surprise late gift since he plays the first one so much.

Uncharted 2 FTW, it's much longer than those FPSs campaign wise(I've played them) and has great multiplayer too.

I would say to get Uncharted 2. It seems he's already into COD, so any other FPS probably wouldn't last too long.

I'm voting for Resistance 2 & Killzone 2 since you're getting 2 games for $50! If he is a Batman fan, I truly recommend Batman: Arkham Asylum.

But that is soo obvious. I think TC should wait a month or so and then get him Uncharted 2.

I love Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2. Uncharted 2 has a better campaign, but I'd say Killzone has better multiplayer. If he's an avid online gamer, get him Killzone, if he prefers a great single player experience, get him uncharted 2.

KZ2 and R2, better value. Two games are better than one! You could also play R2 splitscreen with him

Yeah but those games are like strong rentals. And if he does not like them the value is not better.

[QUOTE="verbalfilth"]get him a gift card.GrandJury
That would work aswell. That way he could get what he wanted.

That's not a bad idea, but then he'll probably use it to buy UC2 anyway :lol:

Anyway, I think buying him an actual gift would be a nicer gesture. Gift cards, albeit very nice to receive, may send her partner the message that she doesn't really know what he wants (aside from the store, that is)...

Real gifts are often key to strong relationship; regardless of the couple's age or how long they've been together... gift cards work too, but they just don't have the kind of impact tangible gifts have.

I guess i'm just speaking from experience, where i wouldn't dare give my girlfriends gift cards/money for their birthdays; it just seemed wrong for some reason, even though technically it wasn't :P

TC, buy him UC2; he'll be happy :)

WTF? Seriously, 2 games VS one, and the one is getting MUCH more votes?

I'd rather get two good games than 1 for the same/close price anyday.

Resistance 2 is a great game. But you should stick with Uncharted 2 which is even better and since he has the first one. ;)

Having only played Uncharted 1 and having played Killzone 2 and Resistance, I would definitely suggest Uncharted 2, the first one is one of the greatest games I've every played (from start to finish, with boat loads of extras and reasons to keep playing).

Uncharted 2 is really fun. Personally, I'd rather have it than KZ2/R2.

So my boyfriend recently got a PS3, the new small model, and he hasn't really gone outside of playing Call of Duty or the first Uncharted yet.

So his birthday is on Tuesday and was looking through Craigslist.

I can either get him Resistance 2 + Killzone 2 Limited Edition for $50 or gethim Uncharted 2 for $45.

So, which would you guys rather have, Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2?

Thanks for any opinions.

I would say Killzone and resistance 2, he likes CoD, so he'll like KZ, and it is just a better deal, not to mention you could also pick up resistance 1 for less than $15.

I don't mean to sound selfish or immature, but Gift Card? Really? Gift Cards are restrictive and in my opinion are lousy gifts. Cash is better.

I'd recommend getting him Uncharted 2: Among Thieves though because it's a true masterpiece and Resistence, and Killzone can't touch it.

so he has a third person and firs person shooter and you want to get him some more? i would get bored easily. try a different genre. assasins creed II, FIFA 10, ratchet & clank. or if you are set on those uncharted 2 or the next COD. but i would suggest asking him or one of his friends

That's hard... Resistance 2 is good and Killzone 2 is very very good but Uncharted 2 is a ride like never before. I'd say Uncharted 2. It's just that good.
