PS3: What must own games are there?

[xchurchx]

A lot of people have already said it but the Uncharted series is a must own, single player is amazing and it has really solid multiplayer.

I don't personally own a PS3 but I'm saving money for one so I can play a few exclusive games I've wanted to play:

God of War
Heavy Rain
Flowers
Little Big Planet
Folklore
Metal Gear Solid
Infamous
Journey

Besides, the PS3 got Singstar, which is a waaay better game than Lips (the 360 alternative) and Singstar is something of a favorite at parties among my friends =P

I admit I don't have a PS3, but one of my roommates had one while I was at university.

I got the chance to play Valkyria Chronicles on it and really had a lot of fun with the game. If I had a PS3 or it were available on PC I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[babinro]

inFamous 1 & 2
Resistance Fall of Man (Not number 2, I've never played 3)
Rock Band 1, 2, 3 (if you've not already bout the 360 version).

Uncharted 2 deserves an honourable mention but I wouldn't call it must own.

 

[Dragoon]

If you've ever played any Metal Gear Solid games I highly recommend getting MGS4 and if you haven't get the MGS HD collection and the first one off PSN and then get 4, they are amazing games.

Personally, I loved MSG one and two, three was OK, four.... was not so good. Terrible, terrible, non-sensical, self-indulgent cut scene after cut scene.

Edit - Children of Eden is really good.

I admit the cutscenes were overly long but if you've payed attention to the story across all of the games they were actually quite good. Although I sometimes forgot I was playing a game xD

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Persona 3: FES, a fantastic JRPG, just became available on PSN.

Get it.

Now.

Now for a real list (All exclusives):
Uncharted 2 & 3 (Cover shooter with Indiana Jones feel)
Ratchet & Clank: Future: A Crack in Time (Platformer with crazy gunplay. Weapons level up as you use them. One gun even plays even plays the 1812 Overture while you fire it. Insane.)
Infamous 1 & 2 (Electric super hero games)
Disgaea 3 & 4 (Very hardcore, turn-based, JRPGs with hilariously awesome stories)
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (Classic movie collection with stealth sections)
Killzone 2 & 3 (First person cover shooters. Very pretty looking.)
Demon's Souls (RPG with a Dungeons and Dragons feel, very unforgiving)
Resistance (FPS, the PS3's version of Halo)


The humorous PS2 Platformer Trio:
Jak & Daxter HD Collection (Another platformer, in the vain of Crash Bandicoot)
Sly Cooper HD Collection (Stealth game with interesting stories of thieving)
Ratchet & Clank HD Collection (Coming later this year)


Hope that'll get you started, dude.

 

[chadachada123]

Demon's Souls.

I own that game, and don't even own a PS3. It's THAT good.

 

[natster43]

Infamous 1 and 2
Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Metal Ger Solid 4 and HD Collection
Demon and Dark Souls
MAG
Portal 2
Little Big Planet 1 and 2

 

[MDSnowman]

Heavy Rain
Resistance: Fall of Man (the sequels are crud)
Uncharted series
Valkyria Chronicles (if you end up with a PS hand held look for VC2. It fixes some of the mechanical issues of the first [saving and loading during combat I'm looking at you] even if the battles aren't as grand as the original)
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3

 

[TK421]

So, as someone who just bought a PS3 after years of pussyfooting around it, what Games would you say are the 'Gotta get' type for the PS3?




As a personal note, I have Finished Journey and Heavy Rain finding them really enjoyible, Journey esp.

Me Too!! I just bought mine about 6 months ago.

OT:
Little Big Planet(1 or 2). - It is AMAZING.

Resistance Series is rather fun, but it isn't stellar.

Killzone 3 multiplayer component. - My FAVORITE multiplayer game at the moment. You can either go buy the whole game, or just pick up a free demo of the multiplayer (up to lvl 10) on psn. After you reach level 10, if you buy the multiplayer (14.99usd) you get extra points and double exp for 24hrs.

Infamous 1&2 aren't too shabby either.

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

If we're talking exclusives:

- Demon's Souls
- God of War Collections Vol. 1 & 2
- God of War III
- Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection
- inFamous & inFamous 2
- Killzone 2 & Killzone 3
- No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise
- Resistance Trilogy
- Uncharted Trilogy
- Valkyria Chronicles
- WipEout HD Fury

And those are my essential choices. For PSN games I'd make a more extensive list.

Damn. Yeah... That's, uh, that's pretty much everything. PS3 owners are set with a collection like that.

 

[Juventus]

yakuza 3 and 4 are great games as well. really underrated

 

[dimensional]

Valkyria Chronicles is the only essential game on the PS3 but thats me being real picky there are lots of other great ones on it but none that match this game IMO.

I would say though that Valkyria Chronicles is my second favourite game of all time so I am probably overhyping it but if you own a PS3 it deserves a try at the very least.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

Metal Gear Solid 4 (and HD Colelction)
Killzone 2 and 3
Littlebig Planet 1 and 2
Gran Turismo
inFAMOUS 1 and 2
God of War 3
Demons Souls
Wipeout
Resistance trilogy

 

[Ruairi iliffe]

yakuza 3 and 4 are great games as well. really underrated

You know i noticed them a whole back and i do enjoy quirky titles, might have a gander at those then.

 

[CrustyOatmeal]

Metal gear solid has some pretty amazing gameplay that caters to both shooters and stealth gameplay mechanics with an... interesting story. just dont expect to jump into the game (any of them) and expect a coherent storyline. the ideas, characters, and intertwining of past and future events blur together into a blurry mess. all you need to know is that in every game there is a bad guy, he has a super weapon (usually a mech), and he has a team of super people that try and kill you one at a time

while the story is a mess the gameplay more than makes up for it

i would also recommend playing the god of war series. while the final ending is a little cheesy for GoW3 the story and the fighting mechanics, story, and puzzles are very enjoyable

Long story short:
metal gear solid 4 & metal gear solid collection pack
God of war 1-3
