I'd say look for some oldies but goodies in bins and pawn shops. I've seen Prototype for under 20$.
Older games you can buy twice as many of:
Infamous
Prototype
MGS4
Resident Evil 5
Assassin's Creed
Arkham Asylum

Ok, if you're an FPS fan, I would suggest Killzone 2, it's not ridiculously fast and it feels like you're an actual soldier, but it's very rewarding. If you're not into that then Resistance (2 in my opinion) is a great game with some epic moments.
If you like 3rd person stuff then, God Of War 3 or Uncharted 2, best games of this generation in my opinion. Ratchet and Clank is epic too.
I don't play many RPG's, and I haven't heard anything good about Final Fantasy 13, so if you're an RPG fan, may I suggest PS2, and getting a copy of Arc Twilight of The Spirits, which, just owns.

You get way more rep then you need to max one of the sides, no way a grenade blasting people would ruin it for you, specially since you can heal 4 or 5 people and get the karma back, seems more like BS from me.666Chaos said:
The karma system may have been crap, but really was only a reason to play it twice, and by no means ruined the game. Every other thing about inFamous was better than Prototype?
That's not including multiplatform games and PSN gamesHassEsser said:
Infact, here are some PSN games;

I don't own nearly as much downoadable games as I think I do. Sadly I'm the kind of gamer that needs a new game every 2 or so weeks, so right now I'm insanely bored with nothing to do until my new PC arrives (har har, that's funny, the OP is mainly a PC gamer going to PS3 and I'm mainly a PS3 gamer going to PC! What a twist!)
From the exclusive bin:
Uncharted 1 and 2. (EDIT: Already said!)
inFamous
Heavy Rain
Everything else:
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (if you plan to play games online - not worth the asking price otherwise)
Modern Warfare 2 (same as above, only more so)
Red Dead Redemption
MAG (Multiplayer Only)
God of War 3
Bayonetta
The exclusive pile is in the rough order that I'd recommend. The rest is your own judgement. I would have put other games on there (Dragon Age: Origins for example) but they already existed in a better form on the PC.

I agree. Especially Resistance 2, the online play is much more varied with the addition of co-op.Reg5879 said:
Also, if you don't mind a great game with only single-player play, I recommend the Ratchet and Clank games. If I remember correctly, Tools of Destruction is on the greatest hits list, so it should be priced lower.
LittleBigPlanet is worth having, too. If you don't already have Batman Arkham Asylum, pick that up sometime too. The free Joker challenge levels are... well, challenging.
Thanks a bunch for all the responses 
There seem to be a lot of parallels in what people have said, with the same titles coming up over and over again - makes it a pretty easy decision
Thanks again guys

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, InFamous and Assassin's Creed 2. You can find the first two at dirt cheap prices, but AC2 is still kind of expensive. None of these are multi player, but offer near perfect single player experiences. The Resistance series is good in all areas but not great. Have fun.Silent observer said:I'm about to get a PS3, and this will be my first real console (I've been a largely PC gamer up until now). However, my budget for games is somewhat limited and at the moment I can probably only afford one or two. I've had Red Dead redemption recommended to me by a friend, but I was wondering what the escapist community thought was a good game to kick start my PS3 Gaming.
In an ideal world, it would be something with a great story that I could also play multiplayer, both online and splitscreen. Beyond that, style or genre wise I'm not too fussed
Ass Creed 2 was 39 bucks at Target, I was there Mondaysupertoast099 said:Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, InFamous and Assassin's Creed 2.
