The Solid Snake Buys a PS3 (and Saves his Sanity) Thread

[Sky Warrior Bob]

You will want Uncharted 2, just for gameplay & on-line content. The story isn't dependent on Uncharted 1, but Uncharted 1 is very good too & worthy of a buy. However, if you have to choose, go with U2. As stated, you get free on-line content with this one.

I really like Infamous as well. Decent dual path storyline (Good/Evil), and great balance of powers to gameplay. (As you get more power, baddies get more difficult.) Also, every area has a distinctive look, and it all feels very much alive. (Plus, the random news broadcasts & pirate TV are always good).

God of War 3, is more of the same. Its clearly more violent, uses more nudity & is a bit more of a challenge. However, it isn't what I'd call a must buy.

Little Big Planet is a rental for me. The official levels are pretty fun, but it does get tedious after a while. Plus, there's far too crappy user created levels to find anything good.

MGS4 is fun, if you like the prior MGS games. However, the story is difficult to follow, and nano-machines get way overused for explaining various elements of the plot.

Heavenly Sword, is a fantastic GOW style game, with a great plot. The only problem is that it is a bit short. Worth playing, and a used copy should be really cheap (it was one of the PS3's first titles).

The R&C titles for the PS3 are both flawed. Tools of Destruction is awesome in every way, except its way too easy to heal. Weapons computers automatically give a health upgrade. Absolutely necessary for city-wide battles, but they make the rest of the game too easy.

Crack in Time separates Ratchet & Clank, and I frankly feel development got flawed because of this. Clank's levels are really pretty & complex. However, much of the levels created for Ratchet end up being simplistic wastes of time as a result. As such, this title was a pretty big disappointment for me.

Can't comment on Resistance 1 or 2, as I'm not into the whole first person shooter thing.
