Ps3
I just received a PS3 with my new Sony TV and i havent got any games yet.
just wondering who has a ps3 and what games you would recommend on buying that would be worth the money. |

Ooooh welcome to the PS3 ranks. Depends what you're into. But most people will get into Grand Theft Auto 4, and yes, they are identical except that you don't have to pay for multiplayer if you have a PS3. If you're into driving then Grand Turismo prologue is great, better if you have a steering wheel though.
If you're into shooters, then Resistance: Fall of man is good (and cheap - it came out when the ps3 did), I'm playing Initial D Extreme Stage at the moment. Metal Gear Solid is alright i hear, but a lot of story... and not that much action. Usually i go to www.1up.com or www.gamespy.com and read the reviews first. There are also a lot of free demo downloads from the playstation network, just make a new account and visit the store and you can download heaps of stuff. Guitar Hero World tour is on it's way out in october with a kick ass drum kit, so that's what i'd be waiting for. That and Grand Turismo 5 (but this will take ages). Grid is an arcade style racer which is quite fun, with a good drift mode, but get the demo first and see if it's your kind of thing.

I'm currently having some awesome fun playing Assassin's Creed.
I also have NFS: Pro Street, and while it's good fun it's not amazing. especially the handling, it's a little weird in some cases.

when you go to the Playstation network (PSN), find the demo section and download them (it will take some time, so make sure you're on the net and 'perform in background', so you can still do stuff, when they're done there will be an extra name in the game section which will prompt you to install it when you try to open it, once it's installed that file will be gone and replaced with the demo in the game section, ready to play!
NFS: Pro Street is pretty cool too, the handling is quite real i guess but yeah a bit weird and difficult. Assassin's Creed is cool too! like GTA4 but medieval style, horsejack! I would suggest buying games only as you need them, otherwise you'll get sick of them or lose focus to finish one.

oh man assasins creed, gta4 GT devil may cry... all good games dont get MGS4 unless ur a fan of MGS series. my mate has it n he can play it 4 hours (like me wit assasins creed) but i play it 4 5 min n got bored of it (like him wit assasins creed ) thats cus he grew up on the series since the first metalgear solid, n i grew up on nija gaiden, tenchu n other slasher close quarter games.. i only hada ps1 then i got a xbox so i didnt get to play them but even the one on xbox i didnt like that much. GTA4 is unbeleivably real. if you have any anger you take it out one the game. fighting, shooting, driving,flying(choppa) n ryding is all so fun. i got bored of it in a week tho, but id b playing it now if i had a ps3.. or if it was out on comp. if you end up getting a XBOX360 check out forza. thats handsdown (IMO) the best driving game, cus its GT handling and damage but NFS custumisation, and winning money is so hard cus if u redline even one time you do engine damage which you HAVE to repair at the end.. but enugh bout that i can go on for hours n hours haha

Be a little bit carefull with the PS3 and playing games atm. Lots of people are having problems with the Blu-Ray drives crapping out, myself included. Unclear if this hardware related or due to the latest firmware. I had just finished MSG4 which was the first game I had played on the PS3 (Bought it for movies) and now it wont read any discs and needs RMA.
http://boardsus.playstation.com/play...cending&page=1 I personally would not upgrade to 2.42 firmware and wait for the next release.

Damn that sucks! I upgraded my PS3 to 2.42 and its fine (mine is jap tho), but thats really unfortunate!
Plenty of really excellent looking games on their way for the ps3. One thing i wish though is that they had Gears of War 2! damnit, one reason i'd get or at least want to swap with an xbox to play it. News just in: The new Need for Speed on PS3 http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3169486

Timeshift is a good 1st person shooter, but with the ability of the suit you are wearing, you can slow down, stop, or even reverse time. Good when you stop time, run to the enemy and steal his gun, then when the time unfreezes, they're like "Where's my gun?"
Assasin's creed is still a favourite of mine, and I just recently bought the PS3 edition of Buzz with the wireless controllers. Good fun and you can play online as well.

Welcome to the PS3 clan! I've been converted from xbox.. Currently playing
- GTA4 - GT5P - Assassins Creed plus i've got others slowly ticking over too.. Quote:
I feel sorry for you Mal, I don't want it to happen to me either. If I still lived in Bowral I would offer to fix your PS3.. I also recommend setting up a Media server on your PC to stream stuff to the PS3.. I use a program called TVersity and it streams almost everything to the PS3 flawlessly.. The wireless feature out of the box works great on TVersity as well, even on a 54MBs router. Adz
