I believe that there is now TES: Oblivion on PS3 now.
That is a brilliant game to use for passing time.

I echo the previous comments and suggest Oblivion! I just got it for the PS3 for Christmas. Talk about get maximum hours of enjoyment for a small price.
if you're new to RPG's i'd reccomend Bioshock. the rpg elements are pretty simplified so its a good way of getting into the genre without being overwhelmed by the depth of some of the other titles. actually you can buy bioshock & TES: oblivion as a 2 disk set. so buy both!
For the PS3 itself? Dragon Age: Origins is pretty nice. It takes some getting into, especially if you're not already used to Bioware RPGs. But you'll sink a good long amount of time into it if you're willing to work for it.adam352 said:
The bigger question is whether you want linearity (the story progresses of its own accord, you're basically playing through to get from story point to story point) or non-linearity (the story moves at your pace, you're an integral part, and there's plenty to do outside of the story).
If you like the former, FFXIII will be out soon, and you'd probably enjoy it. You can get FFVII and VIII from the Playstation Store thing, and play those. The story is strictly linear, so you basically just run around making the story move ahead, but the pacing is good, as is the gameplay, so you'll probably like them.
If you like sprawling worlds, and having to make what you will with basically a blank canvass, go for Oblivion or Fallout 3. Something where you make your character, and the story is what you make of it.
Sorry, I had to fix this for you.lack of self CTRL said:
While Bioshock was a decent game (I own and beat it through,) it was lacking in an RPG system.
While the stat based stuff isn't there Bioshock actually has a much more RPG style of philosophy than it dioes an FPS one, it plays more like Deus Ex than it does like CoD. Although I don't know where the idea of it being less deep than most games comes from, it's far deeper than anything I've seen in this generation.BillyShakes said:
I agree that it doesn't feel like CoD, but it still feels like just another First-person shooter with RPG "elements" tacked on.Axolotl said:
When I say it isn't deep, I mean that I find the gameplay overall to be rather shallow.

The story, while being predictable, was alright, and it brought you into the world of Rapture somewhat well. The atmosphere was also splendid, depicting a post-catastrophe underwater-city in a good way.
