Can someone recommend some PS3 games???

I need a new game to play here are the games I own...I love all of them

Gow 1,2, and 3
Uncharted 1 and 2
Red Dead Redemption
Gta 4 and EFLC
Mafia II

I tried to play Infamous and found it quite awful and it made me sick(literally) the way it played.

Killzone 2 if you want a FPS
Heavy Rain for something while different still great
LittleBigPlanet - if you like platformers with tons of user created levels/environments
Wipeout HD - if you like speed/racers

Re: Can someone recommend some PS3 games???

Do you have a 360? I ask because that will definitely affect what games will be recommended.

Re: Can someone recommend some PS3 games???

Batman: Arkham Asylum
BioShock 1 and 2 - both are great FPS with a scifi twist
DeadSpace - nice Horror/Action title
Little Big Planet - tons of platforming levels
Burnout Paradise - great freeflowing racing
Warhawk - Online action shooter - you can join us on Tuesday nights
CoD: Modern Warfare 2 - at least check out the single player story if multiplayer is not your thing
Mercenaries 2 - cheap silly openworld mayhem.

Re: Can someone recommend some PS3 games???

There are only 2 games you haven't played that are a must:

Fallout 3
Batman: Arkham Asylum

Another game you may enjoy based on the ones you've played is The Saboteur.

Heavenly S Word is a fun, short romp.

Oblivion if you like RPGs GOTY version can be found for like 14.99-29.99 online and it'll keep you busy for a ridiculous amount of time.

Saints Row 2? It's basically a GTA ripoff, but I thought it was tons of fun. No trophy support though.

Re: Can someone recommend some PS3 games???

Some good suggestions made already and thought i would throw a couple more your way.

1. Super Streetfighter 4 - SImply the best fighter you can get your hands on.
2. Just Cause 2 - I have not had this much fun on a game in a long time. Really amazing and i have had well over 100 hours of gameplay on it.
3. Oblivion - Utterly incredible game and i think the most time i have ever spent on a game (300 plus hours). Very indepth and great open world.
4. Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 - Both great fighting games.
5. The Saboteur - Really nice game all round.
6. Infamous - Great open world game that has a good story.
7. Prototype - OTT fighting and action game. Gets getter the longer you play it when your powers finally build.

Hope these help

You need to get Borderlands and download these two add-on Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Secret Armory of General Knoxx.

Valkyria Chronicles is a great turn based strategy game for PS3. Lots of fun. Folklore is a beautiful unique RPG. Also, the Resistance series is highly recommended for FPS fans.

Second vote for Valkyria Chronicles. Forgot to put that on my list. The difficulty ramps up pretty quick, but I've never played a game quite like it. I also really enjoyed Civilization Revolution... if you're into the Civ genre. IMO, they did a great job of recreating the Civ experience on a console.

I know Borderlands is popular and lots of people like it, but I wasn't into it at all. I got it from Gamefly for a couple days and just couldn't get into it, it just seemed boring and kind of pointless. Not to say the OP won't like it but just wanted to offer up a different opinion on it.

Mirror's Edge is a fun, short first person runner game that you can get on the cheap.
