    Must Have PS3 games

    I recently bought a PS3 and was wondering which games are considered "must have" games for the console (exclusive games only since i have a 360 and played most multiplatform games on that already)

    The list i came up with so far:
    MGS4 (obviously)
    Killzone 2
    Resistance 2 (not so sure on that one though)
    LBP (not sure either, might be a little kiddy-ish?)

    thanks in advance for any tips/advice!

    inFamous is one I would add to the list that I can think of off the top of my head.

    I didn't enjoy inFamous as much as I thought I would, but to each their own I guess. =)

    I suggest Folklore. It's one of the earlier PS3 titles but it was a really fun game.

    this one totally slipped through under my radar.... looks very interesting. Any idea how many hours of gameplay i can expect from it? IGN says about 15 hours but i don't trust those guys...

    Infamous looks nice too, might give that a try and see if i like it...

    I just checked my save files for it now, I beat the game in 11:48. It was kinda short. =( They released a lot of DLC for it at the time which I ended up getting because I was disappointed it had to end so soon. Some of it is free, some not. =/

    Also, this looks pretty epic, like an LBP but with a bit more problem solving: Trine

    Uncharted for sure.

    I really liked Heavenly Sword even though it was short and easy. It's worth a rental at least. Flying Fox may be my favorite boss of this console generation.

    ratchet and clank. One of the few games that will hook you with its charms and force you to play it until you beat it. Long game, too.

    I wouldn't really call anything here must-plays. Maybe you might say I am being too strict with the word. This is me actually being very liberal with it, because I don't see the point of making the distinction from "good game." Either way, I guess I can give you some advice on what to get for the PS3.

    Killzone 2 is certainly an interesting game, Resistance 2 less so. However if we are talking about the best of the best in FPS("must plays"), we are not going to find it on a console, period. Warhawk reigns over both.

    Little Big Planet is pretty much crap. Not because it is kiddish, but because it is a platformer with crappy platforming. The customization might be worth checking it out... I wouldn't advise it. (I actually can't tell you much about platformers, but even I can point this out)

    Flower is a joke. "Zen-Gaming."

    Heavenly Sword isn't worth playing. Uncharted might be worthwhile, I'd just wait for the sequel though.

    Valkyrie Chronicles isn't half bad.

    I haven't played BlazBlue much yet, but it might be the only current "Must-Play", at least in the areas of Fighters(not concerning Xbox360 shared games.) If you can find an arcade with it, then maybe not. I cannot...

    MetalGearSolid4 is a fun, but fat game. MetalGearOnline comes with it and I personally enjoy the hell of it if only for the Team Sneak mode. MGO is pretty crappy otherwise. (By fat I mean full of too much fluff and boring stuff between the good parts)

    Siren is interesting.


    EDIT: Heavy Rain is probably going to suck. The rest I don't have an opinion on yet.

    I agree that LittleBigPlanet is probably the most overrated game on the system. The customization is nice, but the platforming (specifically the consistency with which your character jumps and how the game handles changes in depth) is so poorly implemented that it makes it hard to play for any extended amount of time.

    I would disagree and say that Heavenly Sword and Uncharted (and inFamous?) are worth playing, but not worth owning. Heavenly Sword is ~4 hours long but otherwise fantastic, Uncharted (and inFamous?) is great as well but can also be beaten in the span of a rental with little reason to replay.

    I'd say that currently, the game most worth owning would be Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction (especially if you're a fan of the series) but considering how much like the previous games it is (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) I wouldn't go out and buy a ps3 for it.

    As mentioned earlier Valkyria Chronicles is another great exclusive as well, and one of the few RPG (RPGish?) games on the system. Folklore is alright but a little boring, I'd say it only qualifies as "must buy" if you can find it for less than $20. I have a friend who swears Disgaea 3 is his favorite but I'm sure most people would refute that.

    It should also be pointed out as well that the PS3 versions of Eternal Sonata and Bioshock have content not included in their 360 release (as will Tales of Vesperia) and Bioshock is at least worth renting if you haven't played it already.

    If you can find it cheap, the ps3 version of Alone in the Dark was fixed enough over it's 360 counterpart that not only is it actually playable now (aside from a few glitches), it's actually quite enjoyable (with one of the best video game scores I've ever heard)... but again it can be beaten in a short amount of time so perhaps a rental but not a purchase.

    There are a couple fun games worth picking up on PSN, I'm partial to Pixeljunk: Eden, Savage Moon, and to a lesser extent echochrome. Trine looks like it will be amazing.

    I agree that there still aren't a lot of "must have" PS3 games but there are, at least, a fair amount more good games to play these days.

    Since you have Resistance 2 on the list, how about Resistance 1? Playing 2 before 1 is pretty stupid and it's a fairly good game for an early release.

    LittleBigPlanet was extremely extremely fun...for about a month or so. I enjoyed the hell out of it for a period of time, which afterwards, it became a bit dry. I will not sell it however, because it's a game that I'm sure my kid will love in a year or so when she can play it. MGS4 and Ratchet and Clank are fantastic games. So is Uncharted. On PSN, I love Pixel Junk Monsters...not so much Pixel Junk Eden.

    Gonna jump on the Valkyria Chonricles and Infamous train. Made me glad I chose a PS3. Also, check out Fat Princess on PSN in the coming months.
