So I just got a Ps3...

"I just bought a PS3..."

Sorry to hear that friend. PS3 gets passed up on a lot of stuff these days, not to mention the PS3 version of Skyrim is broken beyond repair because of the architecture of the console. Here's hoping there's a good "HD collection" coming out for you that'll make it worth it.

Lolwat.

I play Skyrim just fine on my ps3.

You're an exception. There is a lot of people who can't play above 20MB save files or something like that.

OT: Wait until Ratchet & Clank HD comes out, then buy that. Amazing games are amazing.

Ratchet and Clank were pretty good though.

I know it stands for network but he might not. You interwebs people are merciless.

If you join the PSN network you get access to free games every month. Some of them are busted old things, but there are a few jems.

PSN network? You know what the N stands for, I'll let you know. It's network, you said Playstation Network Network. Doesn't make sense, am I right?

When did they start giving out free games, I stopped using my PS3 in March 2010 apart from the odd game and never saw this.

If you are referring to PS+ then it isn't free.

I know what it stands for. It was a slip up. Ye gods you interwebs people are merciless. They've been giving away free games for a while now if you sign up for the pay service. Every two weeks or a month, I forget which, there is a free game and you get lots of discounts on other games. I just got Sly Cooper and one of the 8 million Street Fighter games this week for free.

As I aid to the other person, the games are not free if you have to pay to access them, not free at all.

Turn about is fair play, you "aid to" the other person? Normally I just say to them, or said as it's past tense.

OT: I recommend Catherine, if you are of the appropriate age of course, that and Katamari Forever. Both highly enjoyable in my book.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Haha, thanks for the replies!

inFAMOUS and uncharted are on my list of games to get, along with Mgs 4 and the Mgs remake! I was thinking of trading Battlefield 3 in, but then I used the online code and I doubt it'll be worth much now QQ

I don't know if you were thinking about buying inFamous digitally, I have a 50% off voucher that came with inFamous 2 if you want. Also Valkyria Chronicles is a pretty awesome turn-based, realtime combat, strategy JRPG.

People don't lie on the internet if that is what you are insinuating.

PS+ gives you "subscription games" for no extra cost. PS+ isn't free though. It is better than XBOX Live though since XBOX Live gives you no subscription games for no extra cost. Also more ads on an internet connected XBOX, Gold account included.

In that respect, the OP is still better off with PS+ than with Xbox Live Gold. No freebies there (ok, there are some, but they're terrible to meh). And a 1-year subscription costs about the same for both.

To be honest, I don't think PS+ offers me any real added value, but if anyone like their offerings, all the more power to them.

It was to demonstrate how many people have had serious issues with Skyrim. I feel the same way otherwise about metacritic.

 

[Rawne1980]

They aren't free if you have to pay to access them, I can't believe you fell for their marketing.

I didn't, don't have a plus account myself i'm far too much of a cheap bastard.

Some people do though so I was just throwing it up in the air that they have some games going for them.

Already wasted money on my old 360 with a gold account that took me months to cancel.

 

[bojackx]

Ratchet and Clank maaaaaan.
There's 4 games on the PS3 (one of which is a downloadable game) and they're all amazing. They're even bringing the original trilogy to PS3 in a HD collection, so that's good too.

 

[Woodsey]

Get the inFamous and Uncharted games. I guess you could try Journey, I'm nowhere near as hot on it as most other people are. Once you get past the presentation (which is admittedly beautiful) its not got a particularly original or interesting theme.

 

[DeltaEdge]

To actually recommend something 100% free, I would have to say PlayStation Home. It's basically an MMOG with some free mini-games. It's a pretty nice looking place. I don't actually talk to anyone there, but when I first got my PS3 I did not have any games for it so I squeezed all of the free entertainment I could possibly get out of the PS3 before I finally got some games. I only went there out of complete boredom though, so I am not saying it's the best thing ever, but it's something to do until you get better stuff to do.

 

[Evil Smurf]

get steam and tf2

 

[Appleshampoo]

get steam and tf2

Already got it on Pc ;D

I've downloaded the demo of inFAMOUS, so I'll play it later and see what I think!

I'll probably get Skyrim on PC, since it's got all those lovely mods there!

 

[bluegate]

I hear that they are going to make the Killzone3 multiplayer free to play soon ( meaning: you won't have to buy the disc game but you can download the MP section off of PSN ), up until a certain level, if you like it you can then buy full access to the multiplayer portion for about 15-20 bucks or something like that.

I don't know any other free to play things on the PSN ( or SEN.. ? ) besides Playstation Home ( which is nice if you like minigames and classics such as chess or pool or such, I know I spent a few hours playing chess with people on there, and checkers ), and there are also a lot of demo's on the network, I would say, download a lot of them and see if you like them, that is what I did when I first bought my PS3 and I only had Motorstorm and Resistance to keep me entertained for a few weeks.

Although there are a few games I could recommend you, I'll just name one of them: WipEout HD, if you like fast hover racing that is. Might take a while to get used to the controls, but once you do, damn it's fun.

 

[Tanis]

If you like Zelda you should get 3D Dot Heroes.

If you like SRPGs you should get Disgaea 4

If you like sci-fi 3rd Person action/shooters you should get Vanquish & WarHammer 40k: Space Marine

If you like (J)RPGs you should get Valkria Chronicles

If you like good games you should get The Ico & SotC Collection HD

If you like weird games you should get Katamari Forever

If you like WRPGs you should get Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning & TES5: Skyrim

If you like story over game play you should get Heavy Rain

If you like pretty but short FPSs you should get Killzone 2/3

If you like 3rd Person action/shooters with an arcade twist you should get Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon

If you like racing games that are a bit arcade you should get Blur

 

[Rheinmetall]

Try Zuma and Trash Panic. They are hard and extremely addictive. They will be always there in your hard disk whenever you want to play a fun puzzle game.

From the big exclusive PS3 releases don't miss Demon's Souls. There isn't any game like this one.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

The Ico + Shadow of The Colossus HD collection is amazing. SOTC could easily pass as a PS3 game it looks so great and Ico looks good as well, considering it was made in 2001. I'm not as big a fan of Ico as a lot of people are, but it an interesting game, think of it like a side-dish to SOTC's main course.

Also, Littlebigplanet/Littlebigplanet 2 are great value for money if you can get the hang of the create mode, which is really easy to use. After that the game is pretty much limitless in terms of what you can do/make and how long the game will last you.

You not heard about how broken it is? Here's the problem, normally the game stops rendering stuff after you get far enough away from it. But the PS3 version NEVER stops rendering things, no matter how far away you are from it. So after about 2 or 3 hours, you're playing a slideshow.
