Well Metal Gear Solid 4 is out. I hear it's good...
I don't have a PS3 myself but hope it helps
If you haven't played the first 3 mgs's then don't even touch 4 because the story is basically impenetrable and the editor was in dire need of a machete (and considering Kojima was the editor). The fourth was pretty much Kojima waving his willy around why asking if we had a 'problem' which all the die hard fans immediately reply "nonono, we're fine."
Yeah, being a newbie to the franchise I didn't like it, as for good games, inFamous was effing awesome and the platinum is a fun yet tedious challenge. And it was made by the creators of Sly Cooper which immediately makes it awesome, sly 2 (never played 1, sadly) ranks second on all time favorite game right behind burnout 3 (my parents were pretty strict on the ratings which sucked, especially in the ps2 era.)
I have to disagree. For some reason everyone thinks MGS4 sucked just because of the story and all the cut-scenes. Myself, prior to getting MGS4 I had never played more than 10 minutes of any MGS game at friends' houses. But I have to say I loved it. The gameplay was amazing, customizable guns, intelligent AI, excellent graphics, responsive controls (holding L1 to aim was annoying at the start, but you get used to it. It's actually easier that way since it helps with the stealth parts), good boss fights, tons and tons of guns to choose from, extras/bonuses/easter eggs etc etc.
Ok, YES some cutscenes were drawn out or just stupid at points, and YES you'll be fairly lost at the start (I was, they never even explained what PMC stood for...), but by the 2nd or 3rd chapter you get the just of it (maybe before that). Plus if they really annoy you, start -> down -> X. Anyways the actual gameplay more than makes up for it. Hell maybe you'll even get into the story. I'd give it a try, at least rent it.
